Your guide to new holiday music
Bob a surprise highlight among a dozen or so new discs
Sentimental, overdone and overplayed, Christmas and holiday music spreads through public spaces as swiftly as swine flu. The tunes can be so omnipresent that even the cheeriest of souls sometimes burst out with a Scrooge-like shout of "Bah! Humbug!"
Yet, musicians keep churning out new holiday tunes. Are they just seeking a buck? Perhaps immortality with a new timeless classic? Or maybe people just can't get enough. Whatever the case, here's our annual rundown of some of this year's offerings:
Bob Dylan "Christmas in the Heart" (Sony)
• Length: 42 minutes
• Overview: What the ...? The times they certainly are a-changin' as the famous folk-rocker-country iconoclast turns his attention to Christmas with 15 holiday standards and his famous gravelly voice.
• Hits/misses: I admit I was skeptical at first, but this entire disc won me over. What makes it such a masterful tribute to the season are the arrangements, which include plenty of clear-voiced backup singers whose tones and intonations recall songs from the 1940s and 1950s. In other words, the kind of sentimental music that played when Dylan was a kid. Highlights include "Winter Wonderland," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Must Be Santa." After a few listens, the album makes sense: Christmas music is folk music.
Sting "If on a Winter's Night..." (UMG)
• Length: 51 minutes
• Overview: Sting has always had a haunting voice, and these 15 songs, mostly traditional (two written by Sting), emphasize a sense of melancholy for the holidays.
• Hits/misses: "Hounds of Winter" and "Lullaby for an Anxious Child" stand out, while some of the traditional songs are weakened as Sting stretches out his vowels long and dirgelike, as in "Cold Song."
Sugarland "Gold and Green" (Mercury Records)
• Length: 37.5 minutes
• Overview: This quick 10-song CD from rising country superstars is sure to please fans, especially with Jennifer Nettle's powerful voice.
• Hits/misses: While "City of Silver Dreams" and "Gold and Green" aim for holiday standard status, the real standouts are the gospel-inflected "Coming Home," pop-country-rock "Maybe Baby (New Year's Eve)" and the haunting "O Come O Come Emanuel."
REO Speedwagon "Not So Silent Night" (CMG)
• Length: 46 minutes
• Overview: These 13 songs include plenty of standards that rock on the intros, bridges and codas, but stay true to the originals throughout the song. Fans will love it, though nonfans may wonder why someone is shouting out, "Come on, baby! Gonna deck the halls!"
• Hits/misses: A faithful cover of John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" stands out, and not just because all royalties of its sale go to the John Lennon Foundation. "The White Snows of Winter" is a classic REO ballad — so where you stand on REO will tell you if it's a hit or miss.
Jeff Cook "Christmas Joy" (Quest)
• Length: 31 minutes
• Overview: Jeff Cook, one of the founding members of Alabama, brings his sure hand to a collection of 10 Christmas songs.
• Hits/misses: The title track, "Christmas Joy," is a well-crafted crowd-pleasing tune and "The Night Before Christmas" is a love song that recalls the vibrancy of early rock and roll. "Reggae Santa" misfires, while "My First Christmas in Heaven" — from the point of view of someone who has died and is trying to reassure loved ones — is a little creepy.
Michael McDonald "This Christmas" (Razor & Tie)
• Length: 47 minutes
• Overview: With his distinctive voice and smooth sound, McDonald offers four new songs on this 12-song disc.
• Hits/misses: "This Christmas," the title track, is classic McDonald: soulful singing, slow and steady beats, interplay of keyboards and horns. Interesting instrumentation on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas": ukulele, violins, cello.
"The Irish Tenors Christmas" (Razor & Tie)
• Length: 45 minutes
• Overview: These guys are big singers, and the songs that include horns produce a big sound. These 12 songs come with a hearty traditional appeal.
• Hits/misses: "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Fairy Tale of New York," and "Silent Night" are all excellent versions of these songs. "Jingle Bell Rock/Rock Around the Christmas Tree," however, is a misfire: These guys don't rock — they don't have to.
Neil Diamond "A Cherry Cherry Christmas" (Columbia Records)
• Length: 45 minutes
• Overview: Only five of the 14 songs here are new recordings from Diamond, who is a force of one in the music industry.
• Hits/misses: The standout song is Diamond's cover of Adam Sandler's "The Chanuka Song," with some blistering guitar work by Dj Ashba, but couldn't he have updated the jokes? (I mean, Monica Lewinsky?) Also of note: the jazzy version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and the doowop "White Christmas." As for the title track, using "cherry" because it rhymes with "merry," huh?
Michael Londra "Beyond the Star" (Michael Londra)
Length: 43 minutes
• Overview: "Riverdance" tenor Michael Londra's 11 holiday songs are quiet and understated. Most are traditional, but some are new, like "Strings of Lights," written by S. Skinner and A. Roman. (Includes a DVD)
• Hits/misses: Highlights include "Ave Maria," "With Strings of Lights" and "O Come O Come Emmanuel." The bonus track, "Little Donkey (Live, Aged 10)," suffers from poor recording quality and is really for fans only.
David Arkenstone's "Christmas Lounge: A Holiday Chillout Mix" (Green Hill)
• Length: 55 minutes
• Overview: These 12 traditional songs meld into one another to create a pretty, seamless euro-lounge atmosphere
• Hits/misses: It all sounds the same, and that's not a bad thing
"Yule A Go-Go"
• Length: 47 minutes
• Overview: Who says burlesque gets to take a holiday just because it's Christmas? For adult hipster fans of the vibraphone, this CD/DVD combo taps into the neo-retro cool of burlesque. The DVD shows a burning yule log with go-go dancers doing stripteases to traditional songs played on marimba, xylophone and sax. Merry indeed!
• Hits/misses: What, there's music?
"A Christmas Gift For You from Phil Spector" (Legacy)
Length: 35 minutes
• Overview: In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked this 1963 album No. 142 of the top 500 rock albums of all time. It features 13 songs that have the wall of sound treatment.
• Hits/misses: Some songs — The Ronnette's "Sleigh Ride," The Chrystal's "Santa Claus in Coming to Town" — are quite good, but hearing Spector (now in prison for murder) talk about the importance of the project over "Silent Night" just seems in poor taste.
"Ho: A Dan Band Xmas" The Dan Band (Razor & Tie)
• Length: 34 minutes
• Overview: The inappropriateness of the first track's title, "I Wanna Rock U Hard This Xmas," made this 10-song disc seem promising, but it's mostly unmemorable and unfunny mimicking of rock, country, rap and jazz styles.
• Hits/misses: The message of the final song, "Please Don't Bomb Nobody This Holiday," is a bit funny.

Day 1
What started at 4AM in the airport in Worcester ended with us finally arriving in El Mirador to a swarm of kids just before 7:30PM. It was a surprisingly exciting drive as a large chunk of the drive is now paved, making it a smoother and quicker trip. We are all very tired, but we found a burst of energy to hang with the kids for a little bit before our debrief time.

Why do religious zealots prefer to wear sleeveless shirts and blouses? Because sleeves can not stand up to the weight of carrying their religious convictions around on their sleeves for all to see!!
I have never minded people spouting off about their religious beliefs. If it makes them feel better than by all means do it. What I do find troubling are those people who feel that God has given them leave to try and force their beliefs on others.
I want to scream when someone tells me that 'THEIR GOD' is the one true God. Kiddies there is only one true God and He/She allows us to worship Him/Her the way that we feel comfortable.
Ever since God decided that humans were going to be a higher order by allowing us to crawl out of the primordial soup and evolve into thinking productive creatures; we have made it our sick and immoral duty to bastardize what is good about worshiping God. We, as so called evolved creatures, decided that religious zealotry would rule over common sense.
We base our assumptions on who God is from books written by man, interpreted by man and distributed by man. Based on someones interpretation of these books we attack anyone else who may have had a different interpretation or understanding of the works. Under the cover of religious belief we kill, make war and force our beliefs on others in the name of our interpretation of God.
We go around spouting, what I call, The Kennel Ration approach to religious thought. Do you remember the old Kennel Ration dog food commercials? "My dog is better than your dog, my dog is better than yours, my dog is better because he eats Kennel Ration, my dog is better than yours". All you have to do is reverse the letters in the word dog(God) and you have a commercial for human religious thought.
Man is not infallible!!! We are a mistake prone species that is truly not trustworthy with the responsibilities that God has given us.
There is two things that all species need and strive to obtain. It does not matter if you are a human, cat, dog or tree frog these two things are always true.
Every living creature seeks love and a life free from suffering. There is my religious beliefs in 11 words. That, I believe, is what God intended for us. These two simple needs. These two simple truths.
Find these two things and your life will be significant. All the riches in the world can not replace the joy of a life filled with love and safety.
Worship God within yourself and stop trying to sell your beliefs like fruit at a grocery store. Then maybe you will be able to wear shirts with sleeves again.

Garth Brooks' two-night performance at Yankee Stadium in New York City kicked off Friday night, marking his first time returning to the region in 19 years.
But his performance came just one day after four Dallas police officers and one Dallas Area Rapid Transit police officer were fatally shot at a protest downtown. And Brooks made sure to take a moment to address the events in Dallas and the police shootings of black men in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and St. Paul, Minnesota.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Brooks paused midway though his performance and said people had been asking him for a statement regarding the shooting.
"We have the same statement [as for] what happened in Orlando down in Florida, or what happened over in Paris at a concert," he said. "People, we've got to love one another. That's what it's all about. That's our only hope."
Then, he performed and dedicated his 2014 hit "People Loving People" to the city.

Negligent Driving Success
Today, Ashbach Law Offices, LLC had a client's criminal allegation of Negligent Driving in the First Degree (a misdemeanor) reduced to a traffic infraction, and the client's other traffic infraction was dismissed as part of the agreement. This took place in Snohomish County District Court, Evergreen Division, located in Monroe, Washington.
Negligent Driving is defined as "the failure to exercise ordinary care, and is the doing of some act that a reasonably careful person would not do under the same or similar circumstances or the failure to do something that a reasonably careful person would do under the same or similar circumstances."
The main difference between Negligent Driving First degree and Negligent Driving Second degree is having exhibited effects of consuming alcohol (for the first degree allegation).
Such a result not only saves our client's criminal history, keeping a clean record, avoiding jail time and large fines, but also saves large amounts of money in insurance payments over the years.
Great results such as this are what we fight for every day at Ashbach Law Offices, LLC. If you need help with a Negligent Driving accusation, please call or text us at 360.474.7872 (or email email@example.com) to learn what we can do for you.

Kicking Off 2017
I don't even know what to say here. It seems like every few posts or so I am apologizing for my lack of content. Mentally, I've been overwhelmed with the World Series victory for the Cubs and physically…well, let's just say that I've been better.
OK. That's out of the way. Now to the good stuff.
- The fun thing is that I feel like a Cubs hipster this season. Not just because I've been a true fan for virtually my whole life, but Lauren and I attended the last Cubs Spring Training game of the year, as well as the 2nd regular season game. We were amongst the few to see a healthy Kyle Schwarber on an MLB field prior to the World Series.
- I'm astounded about the turnout for the Cubs victory parade. I don't understand how this isn't a bigger story. The largest gathering of people in the history of the United States? The 7th largest in recorded history? I realize that it is just a "guesstimate," but it's not like just getting a report from your drunk friend. 'I mean it was real crowded! There were like…5 million people there!'
- Good riddance to Aroldis Chapman. Yes, I get it. He was a major contributor to the World Series win and for that I am grateful. Now, I never want to have to root for–or sweat over–him again.
- One member of the team that I am truly sad to see go is Dexter Fowler. That's not just because of his landing spot, but I thought he was one of the key parts to the team, not only on the field, but his attitude definitely helped to create the personality of the club. I honestly wish him well. Except when he plays the Cubs.
- I like the addition of Wade Davis. I have always been a Jorge Soler apologist, but there is no denying the fact that he still has yet to come close to reaching his potential nor the pure logistics of a lack of place for him. Reliable bullpen arms, however, are always a good thing to stockpile.
- Barring any sort of unexpected calamity (the type that I am most known for), I will be attending my 4th Cubs Convention next week. I haven't decided if I want to live tweet anything, or if I just want to do write-ups afterward. I guess you can find out if you follow me on Twitter and all of a sudden I hijack your timeline.
Until next time, keep tripping baseballs!

Hello everyone, Chip here!
I know that a lot of Humans really struggle to decide on heartworm medicines for their Dogs, it is not easy. Luckily you have me, the Mighty Chip to help you to pick the right one. With a little bit of help from Karen, the owner of this site too. You can read about her and this site on the About page. You will find that when it comes to cheap pets meds we find the best suppliers and offer some great information too.
There are a number of different options for heartworm medications, so I think it is going to be the most sensible approach if I break them down into categories. How does that sound?
OK, great!!!
The two main categories are Pills, and topically applied solutions. Many of the pills, although not all, come in tasty chewable form (yum), and the topical solutions are options that are applied externally to the skin. Usually along the ridge of the back.
I will give a brief description of each one, and at the end of this article I will give you my top recommendations, as well as links for you to read about each one in greater detail. Plus you can buy for discount prices via my recommended suppliers as well.
Heartworm Medicine Pills
Pills are the choice for many people as they make medicating easy. Many are tasty chewables, so we like to eat them straight from the hand, and if not they can be mixed in with food, or even dissolved, in the case of Nuheart. Although personally I think this is a sneaky tactic!
Heartgard Chewables
- Prevents heartworm disease
Heartgard Plus Chewables
- Prevents heartworm disease
- Controls Roundworms
- Controls Hookworms
Generic Heartgard
There are now generics for both regular and the Plus version of Heartgard. Both will offer the same defense as the branded options.
Interceptor Spectrum
- Prevents heartworm disease
- Controls adult roundworms
- Controls immature roundworms
- Controls adult whipworms
- Controls adult hookworms
- Controls tapeworms
- Prevents heartworm disease
- Prevents heartworm disease
- Adult hookworms
- Adult roundworms
- Whipworms
- Prevent flea egg development
- Protects against heartworm disease
- Kills fleas
- Treats and controls adult hookworms
- Roundworms and
- Whipworms
Of all the chewable options it is the Trifexis no prescription option that offers the most comprehensive protection. Not only does it deal with heartworms but it also treats for common intestinal parasites and fleas as well. If these are issues then this is by far the best value for money. But if you are just looking for a cheap heartworm medicine that will allow you to prevent heartworm disease then Valuheart is the lowest cost option.
Topically Applied Heartworm Medicines
For some people they prefer the topically applied solutions. With pills for heartworm prevention we are limited to only Trifexis if we wish to kill adult fleas, so the topicals are important if we want more options for medicating to stop heartworm disease, and fleas as well.
Advantage Multi
- Prevents heartworm disease
- Kills adult fleas
- Treats flea infestations
- Treats for lice
- Treats for mange
- Treats and controls hookworms
- Treats and controls roundworms
- Treats and controls whipworms
- Prevents heartworm disease
- Kills adult Fleas
- Stops flea eggs hatching
- Controls and treats ear mite infections
- Treats sarcoptic mange
- Eliminates and protects against ticks
As we can see, the liquid solutions applied to the skin are mostly more comprehensive than the pills. So it is going to be down to people to decide what is going to be the best purchase.
Some Thoughts
It is best to think about what you really do want to protect against. If you currently use a flea medication and a heartworm medication then it makes total sense to switch to one of the options that offers protection for both. It saves money, cuts down on medications used, and means you are less likely to forget to give the medicine.
Overall I would say that the Advantage Multi without prescription option is about the most comprehensive option, and Trifexis comes a close second.
Please see the bottom of the page for links to all the medications discussed in this article. And don't forget to read my article answering common questions and concerns about heartworm meds without prescription too!
I hope that you found this guide useful.

I am a Tableau professional. I was first introduced to Tableau when I was attending a business intelligence class in Texas. From there my passion for data analytics grew, especially when I started working for a reputed firm there only.
In the company, I used to create dashboards for my team. The exposure to Tableau revealed the power of communicating the data effectively. I have never taken a formal training under any tableau consultant.
But the internet has provided me enough information to start my career in this field. Here is how and why I learned Tableau software:
Make a Tableau Public profile.
To be an expert in data visualization requires a lot of practice and hard work. As you practice, I would recommend you to upload your work to your profile. As you continue to improve your skills publish more vizzes, at the same time, you will be creating an online portfolio of your work.
This portfolio will really be helpful when you will be looking for your first job. For most of the companies a public portfolio has become the most important part of their hiring process; as it gives the company a much better viewpoint of the creativity, technical skills and design aesthetic of the candidate.
To get a good job, you may also join a tableau training course in your area, where you will get to learn new updates on this particular software.
Determine your passion.
Whatsoever your passion may be, there is data out there for you to discover. Look at the Tableau Public's page every day for at least one month. You will get to learn new techniques.
Get involved in the community.
Next, I would recommend you to get indulged with some data related websites like Make over money and participate in their program, regardless of your skill level.
These types of websites provide you with an interesting data set. Then, you have to create a viz based on the given data set to tell a story in a more clear way than the original and publish it to Tableau Public. You will immediately connect to other participants of the exercise.
You can get an instant response and will get an opportunity to see different visual approaches to the same data set. You may also join a Tableau User Group in your city. They are the best way to meet new people and know how they are using Tableau.
You may read more about tableau software via the web.

- 1tablespoon baking powder
- 2teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4tablespoons anise seed

Shape each section into a loaf about 15 inches long and 4 inches wide.
- Bake the loaves for about 45 minutes on a baking sheet with sides. (If the dough begins to spread and become too flat during baking, reshape it with a spatula.) Remove the loaves from the oven, and allow them to cool. When cool, cut each loaf into 1-inch slices. Place the slices back on the baking sheet, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden.
- Yield: about 6 dozen large cookies

A new year means a new crop of games to play! 2017 overwhelmed us with the sheer volume of quality titles. Though we're only three days into 2018, this year seems like it could potentially match 2017 in terms of top-tier games. Admittedly, January does start on the slow side. However, like January 2017, the month ends with a few monster releases. With history seemingly repeating itself, we may be in for another stellar year in gaming. May your wallets be prepared for what's to come.
Here are all the games you should check out in January.
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One
Release date: Jan 26
One of January's biggest games will no doubt be Dragon Ball FighterZ. If you've read my previous posts on it, you know that I'm personally hyped for this one. This is a big deal considering how I have never liked any of the older Dragon Ball Z games. That's the power of Arc System Works for you. Dragon Ball FighterZ looks great and plays beautifully. It's the DBZ game we've all been waiting for and I fully expect it to become a mainstay at fighting game tournaments around the world. Even if you're not a fighting game player, you do not want to sleep on this one.
You can pre-order Dragon Ball FighterZ from Amazon.
Monster Hunter World
Platforms: PS4, Xbox One
Release date: Jan 26
Monster Hunter World is appropriately named for several reasons. The main one being that it is a fully open and dynamic world filled with all sorts of monsters to slay. Unlike previous entries, players can use the environment to ensnare beasts. Conversely, the world may also hamper users if they aren't careful. Secondly, this title should do much to bring the series to a global audience. While Monster Hunter is certainly big in Japan, it's a niche series in the West. Given everything this title has to offer, I predict it will spawn a legion of new fans.
You can pre-order Monster Hunter World from Amazon.
Street Fighter V Arcade Edition
Platforms: PC, PS4
Release date: Jan 16
Nearly two years after its release, Street Fighter V is at last getting a proper arcade mode. On top of bringing back a feature central to all fighting games, SFV Arcade Edition boasts a number of new features. These include an overhauled UI, second V-triggers for all characters, and new backgrounds. In addition, players can expect Extra Battle Mode where they can earn premium costumes, Team Battle Mode (last seen in Ultra SFIV), and an art gallery. This is essentially what Street Fighter V should have been at launch. I suppose it's better late than never.
You can pre-order Street Fighter V Arcade Edition from Amazon. Those who purchased the season pass get Arcade Edition as a free download.
Lost Sphear
Platforms: PC, Switch, PS4
Release date: Jan 23
Fans of I Am Setsuna and old-school JRPGs are going to absolutely love Lost Sphear. Like most early 1990s JRPGs, Lost Sphear stars young heroes whose duty it is to save the world. It features heavily stylized graphics that compliment the story and cutesy RPG music. A Final Fantasy-esque Active Time Battle system is sure to please fans of classic turn-based games. Though it is coming out on multiple systems, Lost Sphear seems like a great title for Nintendo Switch due to the system's portability.
You can pre-order Lost Sphear from Amazon.
The Inpatient
Platforms: PlayStation VR
Release date: Jan 23
Believe it or not, virtual reality gaming is still a thing. One of Sony's big 2018 PSVR titles is The Inpatient. It is a prequel to Until Dawn and takes place 60 years prior to the events of that game. Like Until Dawn, The Inpatient is a horror title where a player's choices dictate how the story develops. Horror games in VR are extremely frightening (I'm looking at you, Resident Evil 7) so you can expect this title to metaphorically (and perhaps literally) scare the shit out of players.
You can pre-order The Inpatient from Amazon.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT
Platforms: PS4
Release date: Jan 30
Another fighting game dropping in 2018 is Dissidia Final Fantasy NT. Like previous games in the series, this latest entry features characters from across the entire history of Final Fantasy. The big difference is that this Dissidia features 3v3 combat similar to Marvel vs Capcom 2. Though not as tight as other fighters, the fact Dissidia has Final Fantasy characters dueling each other is enough to get hardcore fans of the franchise hyped.
You can pre-order Dissidia Final Fantasy NT from Amazon.
The Escapists 2
Platforms: Switch
Release date: Jan 11
The Escapists 2 was released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One last summer. Now, it's heading to Switch; giving players the chance to play this adorable game on the go. This sequel isn't all that different from the original. Players must still break out of cleverly-designed prisons and use items within jails to aid in their escape. This is a title Switch owners will definitely want to snatch up.
You can pre-order The Escapists 2 from the Nintendo Switch eShop.
World to the West
Platforms: Switch
Release date: Jan 18
Switch doesn't appear to be getting a new Zelda game anytime soon. Thankfully, World to the West is headed to Nintendo's console/handheld hybrid. World to the West is inspired by titles like A Link to the Past. This means there is a massive overworld to explore filled with various dungeons containing all sorts of evil creatures. The big difference between this and old-school Zelda games is that players control an entire party of colorful characters. Like a few titles on this list, the game has been available on other platforms for sometime. Given its inspiration, it feels more at home on Switch.
You can pre-order World to the West from the Nintendo eShop.

Most people will only make one cross country move in their lifetime, if they make any at all. There are a lot of details that go into moving from one state to another, but the people who need to make the move probably don't have the experience and knowledge they need for the project go as smoothly as possible. Luckily, people moving cross country can turn to the experts at Braha Moving to help them with every step of the move so they can worry about all of the other things involved with relocating.
If you're moving yourself across the country, or even if you're moving an entire family to another state, there are plenty of things to keep you occupied. You'll have to acquaint yourself to your new surroundings, probably need to register your car, find a new doctor and maybe veterinarian, and if you have kids, you'll have to worry about all of the paperwork to get them into their new schools. But with Braha Moving, one thing you won't have to worry about is the move itself. When you choose Braha, you will be assigned a dedicated moving assistant who will be in charge of every last detail of your move. Your moving assistant will help you with everything from the estimate to how to prepare your home for the movers. You can rest assured that with your moving assistant at your side, all aspects of the move will be accomplished on time and exactly how you planned.
On the day of the move, Braha Moving will dispatch at least two professional movers who will load the truck in a way that ensures the safest journey for your belongings on their ride to your new home. Just about everybody has done a do-it-yourself move with a rental truck and has had regrets about damages sustained from a poorly completed packing job. You won't have to worry about that with Braha Moving. Their movers will strategically pack the truck in a way to keep all of your items safe and secure for the ride, using furniture pads and blankets to protect delicate wooden surfaces on furniture from becoming damaged. You won't even need to be worried about preparing your furniture for the move. Your movers will be experts in disassembling and packing it safely in the truck, and then reassembling furniture once you arrive at your new home. The moves will also arrange all of your boxes and furniture in your new home to make unpacking easy. After all, unpacking and arranging your new home should be a joy, not a hassle!
Moving into your new home in another state might seem a bit unnerving, but it should also be a new and fun opportunity filled with promise and excitement. Make sure that your experience is less of the former and more of the latter with expert moving service from the experienced professionals at Braha Moving Services.
Braha Moving Systems is a family owned and operated moving and storage company based
in New York City. With more than 20 years of experience, we understand the importance
of providing a superior level of service. We care about our customers and our employees
go the extra mile to ensure their satisfaction.

By JACK VANASSCHE, Staff Writer
In what may end up as the toughest road trip of the year, the University of Michigan-Dearborn volleyball team failed to win a single set en route to three conference losses.
"We played three of the top five teams in the conference," said head coach Eric Stark. "When we played fast, played aggressive, we did some really nice things against all three opponents.
"All three matches came down to our inability to be consistent."
Wednesday, the Wolverines traveled to Indiana Tech, where they were defeated by the Warriors in straight sets (9-25, 19-25, 11-25).
The Wolverines (9-17, 2-11 Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference) committed 20 attacking errors and tallied just 21 kills.
Indiana Tech (23-8, 9-4 WHAC) showcased a strong defense that ended with six team blocks and an accurate offense that posted a .413 hitting percentage.
Friday, the Wolverines traveled to No. 9-ranked Lourdes where the Wolverines were swept 3-0 (13-25, 11-25, 10-25).
Stark had a simple message for his team faced with the tall task of competing with the Gray Wolves (20-3, 14-0 WHAC).
"I told (our team) going into it, 'This is our one opportunity against a top-ten team. Leave everything out there and see how you match up.'"
While the Wolverines were more competitive against powerhouse Lourdes than they were against the Warriors on Wednesday, it was still not enough to take down the mighty Gray Wolves.
Lourdes put up eight team blocks and committed only five attacking errors on their way to their 14th consecutive victory.
Christina Oakley led the Wolverines with five kills on the night; a personal season-high.
Saturday, the Wolverines ended their road trip at Siena Heights University, where the Saints would sweep Michigan-Dearborn (21-25, 13-25, 13-25).
The Saints (19-9, 7-6 WHAC) faltered early in the first set, but rallied to take each set from the Wolverines.
Libero Raechel Warchock tallied a match-high 14 digs to add to her team-leading 229 on the year.
With the season winding down, the Wolverines will only have three more games to show what they're capable of.
Wednesday, the Wolverines will honor their seniors as they host No. 18 Madonna in the last home volleyball game of the year.
Saturday, the Wolverines will hit the road for a rematch with the University of Northwestern Ohio, looking to avenge a Sep. 28 sweep at the hands of the Racers.

Conference Weekend
It has been our tradition the last few years to spend conferance weekend camping with Foote's parents. His parents have an RV with satellite so we are still able to watch conferance and enjoy the great outdoors at the same time. I have decided that I must be turning into a wimp in my old age because I thought I was going to freeze to death. (okay, maybe not all the way to death but it was really cold sleeping in the tent.) The first night I was so cold I woke up and got fully dressed even my coat and crawled back into bed and was finally able to fall asleep. I was so annoyed that I could not sleep that I had to wake up Foote to let him know that April camping trips are no longer allowed. (I am sure by next year I will probably forget my new rule, but I felt better letting him know) I have decided I am a summer camper only. Luckily the girls seemed to do just fine we had them sleep in a seperate tent, since the last time we went camping Aly slept in our tent she refused to go to sleep and just jumped all over us. And except for the first night when Aly had a hard time falling asleep and kept yelling "MOM...DAD I WAKE UP I WAKE UP" she did a good job sleeping in here own sleeping bag.
We had a good time with Grandma and Grandpa and except for freezing and Aly having a really really hard time with Potty training while camping, everything went really well.
Foote brought a kite to fly with Aly, and I had to laugh because he kept giving the handle of the kite to Aly to hold and she would hold it for a while waving it around then she would let it go and he would have to run as fast as he could in his flip flops to catch the kite. I wish I had a video it was really funny to watch. After chasing the kite a few to many time Foote decided to wrap the string around her before giving her the handle.

the school refusing to engage those arguments may give the impression that either the arguments are weak or that this is a prestige conflict
2. Ultimately, the main purpose of school is to teach children skills that would be useful to them in the future. By themselves, facts about evolution are of no practical use to at least 99% of the population.
The connotation of "should we teach X in schools" is "should we teach X as fact"
Creationism, of course, would belong in such a class (and nowhere near a science class)

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Write something suitable for CHILDREN (05/31/07)
- TITLE: It Wasn't Me!
By Christine Dunn
And left sticky finger marks over the door?"
"Oh, a hungry, hairy monster came
And decided he would take,
Every item from the fridge to make a giant cake.
He cracked the eggs, sieved the sugar and flour,
In one quick bite, the raw cake was devoured!
But when he shouted out for more,
I bravely showed him to the door."
"Where is the vase that sits on the fireplace?
And why is there lipstick all over your face?"
"A three-eyed purple alien,
Was rummaging through your stuff.
He wanted a little souvenir to bring home to Planet Puff.
He emptied out your make-up tin,
Swept the vase right under his fin.
I tried to stop him, Mum - I did!
But he was armed with lipstick, so I hid."
"Well who tramped that play dough all into the mat,
And stuck it on Whiskers' black fur? The poor cat!"
"I opened up the window, Mum
For a breath of nice, fresh air,
When an acrobatic monkey swung in from over there.
He showed me every trick he knew.
He started juggling play dough too!
Before I could say, "That's enough!"
The blue bit landed on Whiskers' fluff."
"So which one painted the television screen,
In a garish assortment of red, blue and green?
The decorating dragon? The finger-painting fairy?
All these far fetched tales are making me a little wary."
"You know I really love you, Mum.
And I really feel for you.
Those nasty little creatures have left a lot for you to do!
So I made this lovely little card
I've been working on it really hard.
You'll see a poem when you look inside.
I mean every word, as your thankful child."
"What a kind gesture, sweetheart. How nice!
And guess what? I've got something for you.
Just go to the cupboard right under the stairs,
You'll find a brown box full of brushes and pairs
Of rubber gloves, scrubbers, and an apron to wear.
It seems that those creatures didn't venture in there!"
Mark 4:22 - Everything that is hidden will be made clear and every secret thing will be made known. (NCV)

Day two of the photo a day April challenge is, you guessed it, colour. Now as this isn't clear, I thought I'd share a few images with you and explain why I associated them with today's theme.
The first thing that popped into my head to do with colour was "What's my favourite colour?" The honest answer being I have a few. However, blue and purple have always been my go-to colours when asked what my favourite colours are. Who can really argue when you see them together like this?
Again, this "colour" image makes me feel warm and happy inside whilst also sad at the same time. As the caption says, this was the sun rising over Es Canar in Ibiza the morning we left in 2015. The warm orange reminds me of the heat and happiness of the holiday, the friendships we built, and the memories that will always "rise" when I think about both holidays there. However, it does make me sad knowing that this was also the morning we had to say goodbye to friends. It sounds stupid but 2-4 weeks with these people and they began to feel like an extension to the family. Hopefully we'll see them again soon.
Now again, for anyone who doesn't know me, I simply love Christmas. While I made sure the tree in our flat has a simple colour scheme, the family tree at home is like a firework display – colours everywhere and no idea where to look. Admittedly, this isn't the best picture to show it but each year the tree is adorned with gold and red and green and silver baubles of all shapes and sizes, multicoloured fairy lights, and the ever present Disney characters that Mum and Dad started collecting years ago. One thing's for sure, I love the colours of Christmas.
I'll leave it at 3 photos, don't want to overdo it! What are your first thoughts when asked to photograph "colour"? Let me know! And feel free to join me on my quest to fill my blog with photos this month. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
Hope you all are well!

About Us
Believe it or not, The Burlap and Bling Boutique is a spin-off from a feed store.
In 1983, Horse N Hound opened in Las Cruces, New Mexico. It's a family-owned business, and we're proud to sell feed and animal supplies to our customers throughout Southern New Mexico.
So there are ranchers in New Mexico? Aren't y'all in the desert? Yes, and yes. The agriculture in southern New Mexico grew from the fertile lands surrounding the Rio Grande River. Today, the area is rich with pecan orchards, family ranchers, and of course, acres of the famous Hatch green chile!
Now imagine this: You live outside of town (on a ranch) and the only time you go "into town" is when you have to buy feed for your animals. You appreciate one stop shopping. That's how we launched our softer side. We wanted to appeal to the ranchers and their wives, so we built up some great lines of clothing, accessories, and home goods that are both fashionable and functional for the country lifestyle. Our in-store customers in Las Cruces have been loving the boutique for almost a decade. Now we're bringing our country-chic style to the world through the convenience of online shopping!
Expanding into an online store is a dream for us, and we appreciate you shopping with us. Tell your friends and let us show you the great customer service that you can only get at a hometown feed store - now online!
Orders ship from:
The Burlap and Bling Boutique
c/o Horse N Hound

On the outside, we're a feed store. On the inside, we're filled with Bling!

Feliz Alvarez
Felix Alvarez
Trading and Investment Research Specialist
[email protected]
After spending four years with the United States Marine Corps, Felix Alvarez was ready for a change of pace. In 1999, he shifted into the financial services industry, landing his first industry job with Charles Schwab. At Schwab, much of his focus was on operations. From reviewing investment documents to opening accounts, Felix maintained a wide-range of responsibilities, all of which prepared him for the career to come.
From there, Felix went on to join the team at Pershing. Between 2007 and 2010, and as a client service liaison (and eventually business analyst and project manager), his focus was squarely on clients. He later returned to Pershing in 2014, where he worked for three more years before joining the FMC team.
At Pershing, one of Felix's primary duties was to build and maintain client relationships — something that went far beyond a simple job description. Working with clients, then and now, served as a driving force behind Felix's passion for financial services. Ask him what he finds most rewarding about working in the industry, and he'll keep his answer to the point: "Helping people — helping them achieve their goals."
Today — as FMC's trading and investment research specialist — Felix continues to pursue that passion. As he sees it, a client's money can represent their ambition. It's what allows them to pursue their own dreams and achieve their goals, especially during retirement.
And it's not just clients who serve as a driving force behind what he does. Felix is driven by his family — his wife and two kids, 15 and 11. He's also active, playing various sports, including football and volleyball, when he gets the chance.

If you're one of over 30% of Americans who wince in pain when eating and drinking certain foods and beverages, you may have tooth sensitivity. Although there are a number of possible causes, the most common place to look first is tooth dentin.
Lying just under the enamel, dentin consists of tiny tubules that transmit sensations like pressure or temperature variation to the nerves of the inner pulp. The enamel, the gums and a covering on the roots called cementum help dampen these sensations.
But over-aggressive brushing or periodontal (gum) disease can cause the gums to shrink back (recede) and expose the dentin below the gum line; it can also cause cementum to erode from the roots. This exposure amplifies sensations to the nerves. Now when you eat or drink something hot or cold or simply bite down, the nerves inside the dentin receive the full brunt of the sensation and signal pain.
Enamel erosion can also expose dentin, caused by mouth acid in contact with the enamel for prolonged periods. Acid softens the minerals in enamel, which then dissolve (resorb) into the body. Acid is a byproduct of bacteria which live in dental plaque, a thin film of food particles that builds up on teeth due to poor oral hygiene. Mouth acid may also increase from gastric reflux or consuming acidic foods or beverages.
Once we pinpoint the cause of your tooth sensitivity we can begin proper treatment, first and foremost for any disease that's a factor. If you have gum disease, we focus on removing bacterial plaque (the cause for the infection) from all tooth and gum surfaces. This helps stop gum recession, but advanced cases may require grafting surgery to cover the root surfaces.
You may also benefit from other measures to reduce sensitivity:Â applying less pressure when you brush; using hygiene products like toothpastes that block sensations to the dentin tubules or slow nerve action; and receiving additional fluoride to strengthen enamel.
There are effective ways to reduce your tooth sensitivity. Determining which to use in your case will depend on the cause.

In her decades-long career, renowned actress Kathy Bates has won Golden Globes, Emmys, and many other honors. Bates began acting in her twenties, but didn't achieve national recognition until she won the best actress Oscar for Misery — when she was 42 years old! "I was told early on that because of my physique and my look, I'd probably blossom more in my middle age," she recently told Dear Doctor magazine. "[That] has certainly been true." So if there's one lesson we can take from her success, it might be that persistence pays off.
When it comes to her smile, Kathy also recognizes the value of persistence. Now 67, the veteran actress had orthodontic treatment in her 50's to straighten her teeth. Yet she is still conscientious about wearing her retainer. "I wear a retainer every night," she said. "I got lazy about it once, and then it was very difficult to put the retainer back in. So I was aware that the teeth really do move."
Indeed they do. In fact, the ability to move teeth is what makes orthodontic treatment work. By applying consistent and gentle forces, the teeth can be shifted into better positions in the smile. That's called the active stage of orthodontic treatment. Once that stage is over, another begins: the retention stage. The purpose of retention is to keep that straightened smile looking as good as it did when the braces came off. And that's where the retainer comes in.
There are several different kinds of retainers, but all have the same purpose: To hold the teeth in their new positions and keep them from shifting back to where they were. We sometimes say teeth have a "memory" — not literally, but in the sense that if left alone, teeth tend to migrate back to their former locations. And if you've worn orthodontic appliances, like braces or aligners, that means right back where you started before treatment.
By holding the teeth in place, retainers help stabilize them in their new positions. They allow new bone and ligaments to re-form and mature around them, and give the gums time to remodel themselves. This process can take months to years to be complete. But you may not need to wear a retainer all the time: Often, removable retainers are worn 24 hours a day at first; later they are worn only at night. We will let you know what's best in your individual situation.
So take a tip from Kathy Bates, star of the hit TV series American Horror Story, and wear your retainer as instructed. That's the best way to keep your straight new smile from changing back to the way it was — and to keep a bad dream from coming true.
If you would like more information about orthodontic retainers, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more about this topic in the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Why Orthodontic Retainers?" and "The Importance of Orthodontic Retainers." The interview with Kathy Bates appears in the latest issue of Dear Doctor.
Since the late 19th Century, dentists have used established protocols to successfully prevent and treat tooth decay. But there've been changes to this approach the last few years to improve its effectiveness, changes we now refer to as Minimally Invasive Dentistry or MID.
The older approach for treating dental caries (tooth decay) follows the protocols established by Dr. G.V. Black, considered the father of modern dentistry. Black advocated removing not only decayed structure but also some of the healthier but vulnerable portions of a tooth, to avoid further decay and make the tooth easier to clean. This resulted in larger fillings, although they've become smaller as dental techniques have advanced.
MID, on the other hand, aims to remove as little tooth structure as possible while still effectively treating and preventing future decay. To achieve that goal we begin first with a complete assessment of a patient's individual decay risk, known as Caries Management By Risk Assessment (CAMBRA).
With CAMBRA, we're looking at other factors besides individual tooth health: a patient's hygiene, lifestyle and dietary habits; the types and amount of bacteria present; and the quality of saliva flow, needed to neutralize mouth acid. With these the results we develop a customized prevention and treatment strategy.
MID also focuses on detecting dental caries as early as possible. Besides traditional x-rays, we're beginning to use other methods like dental microscopes, laser fluorescence, infrared photography or optical scanning. Early detection leads to early intervention, and with techniques that are much less invasive than the traditional approach.
The new approach also changes how we repair decayed teeth. We're increasingly using air abrasion, a technology that uses fine particles in a pressurized air stream to remove softer decayed tooth material and less healthy structure than the traditional dental drill. We're also using composite resin and other advanced materials for filings: these tooth-colored materials are stronger than previous versions and are quickly taking the place of metal amalgam, requiring less structural removal to accommodate them.
MID's core principles are early disease detection, proactive prevention and treatment with less structural removal. With this enhanced approach to effective dentistry, we're keeping your teeth healthy with minimal discomfort, lower costs and less long-term impact.
If you would like more information on the benefits of the MID approach, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.
Have you started orthodontic treatment recently? Are you having a little trouble getting used to your braces? If so, you are not alone: Everybody goes through an adjustment period during which they momentarily wonder if they'll really ever get used to this. Don't worry — you will! And we've never heard anyone say, on the day their braces come off and their new smile is revealed, that they aren't glad they went the distance. Just ask Houston Rockets all-star center Dwight Howard, who discussed his own orthodontic treatment in a recent interview.
"I'm sure I was no different than anyone else who has ever had braces," he told Mediaplanet. "At first I hated them so much… That changed once I got used to them and I actually grew to love them." What's Howard's advice? "Do exactly what your orthodontist says and know that the outcome is well worth it in the end." We couldn't agree more! Here are some tips for wearing braces comfortably:
- Hard & Chewy Foods: If you love fresh fruits and vegetables, that's great; there's no reason to give them up, just the really hard ones. You don't want to bite into an apple or carrot or any other hard foods like bagels and pizza that have any "size" to them. Small pieces may be ok as long as they can't bend your wires. Chewy, sticky candy should really be avoided completely. Same with soda, sports drinks and so-called energy drinks because they contain acids that promote tooth decay and can cause a lot of damage around the braces.
- Effective Oral Hygiene: Keeping your teeth clean is more important than ever, but also more challenging than ever. It's easy for food to get stuck under wires and around brackets, but failing to remove it can cause tooth decay, gum irritation and soreness. Therefore, the cleaner your teeth and your braces are, the healthier you will be. Use interdental cleaning brushes and/or a floss-threader to get behind your wires. A mouthrinse can also help strengthen teeth and keep bacteria in check. If you have any questions about how to clean between your teeth, please ask for a demonstration at your next visit.
- Pain Relief: Some soreness at the beginning of orthodontic treatment is normal. To relieve it, you can use an over-the-counter pain reliever and/or a warm washcloth or heating pad placed on the outside of the jaw. If brackets or wires are rubbing against the inside of your cheeks or lips, try applying wax to these areas of your braces. If this does not offer enough relief, we may be able to trim the end of a poking wire. Call us if you need help with this.
Our goal is to make your orthodontic treatment as comfortable as possible on the way to achieving your all-star smile. If you have questions about adjusting to braces, contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Caring for Teeth During Orthodontic Treatment."
Tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease pose the most common dangers to dental health. But there are some rare conditions that can also place teeth at risk to be on the lookout for during regular dental checkups.
One such condition is root resorption in an adult tooth, in which the root itself or its surface breaks down and is absorbed by the body. Resorption occurs naturally in a primary ("baby") tooth so it can loosen and give way for an incoming permanent tooth. Â Resorption still occurs in a limited form with young permanent teeth but should eventually stop.
Sometimes, though, it doesn't, either from the inside of the tooth out (internal resorption) or more often from the outside in, usually around the neck-like (or "cervical") portion of the tooth. This more common occurrence, External Cervical Resorption (ECR), can first appear as pink spots on the enamel and then progress into cavity-like areas. If not found and treated promptly, damage can occur quickly and lead to tooth loss.
We don't fully understand the exact nature and causes for ECR, but we have identified risk factors for its development. Excessive orthodontic force on the teeth or any other trauma can cause damage to the periodontal ligament (which holds teeth in place with the jaw bone). Teeth grinding habits and some dental procedures like internal tooth whitening can also be risk factors.That being said, though, the vast majority of people who experience these issues don't develop ECR.
Although the causes aren't fully understood, we can still treat it: the key to success is early detection. You probably won't notice early signs of ECR, but we can often detect spots from routine x-rays. We can then remove the tissue cells within the lesions causing the damage and restore the area with a tooth-colored filling material. If ECR has extended near the tooth's interior pulp layer, then a root canal treatment may be needed.
Needless to say, the more extensive ECR occurs in the roots, the less likely the tooth can be saved and may need to be extracted. It's important, therefore, to maintain regular dental checkups (at least twice a year) to increase your chances of catching a developing problem early.
If you would like more information on root resorption in adult teeth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Root Resorption: An Unusual Phenomenon."

At the end of the day, one of the strongest motivators for getting employees to change their behavior is... well, their salary. Intel has realized this and in 2008, a portion of their employee bonus was based on environmental metrics. OK, admittedly environment-related "points" were only 4 out of a possible 125 that determine bonus distribution. However, Intel included environmental metrics in the calculations that determine all employees' year-end bonuses. It sends a clear message that they stand by their sustainable practices.
As part of Intel's total compensation package, the employee bonus is based on Intel's net income, each employee's bonus target, and company-wide performance on operational goals, which in 2008 included three environmental goals related to:
- Energy efficiency of products. This included specific targets for key products.
- Reputation for environmental leadership. The company hired market research firms to survey customers, IT professionals and other business people to see what they thought of Intel's reputation around sustainability.
- Completion of renewable energy projects and purchases of green power. This included solar installations at Intel facilities in India, Oregon, and New Mexico. Intel also became the largest purchaser of green power in the U.S., according to the EPA's Green Power Partnership program.

Behind-the-scenes footage of Will Arnett and Zach Galifianakis recording their lines for The LEGO Batman Movie has been released online.
The movie hit cinemas in February of this year and will be released on digital download next week (May 30). A release on DVD, Blu-Ray, 3D, VOD and 4k Ultra HD will follow on June 19.
The LEGO Batman Movie stars Arnett as Batman and Galifianakis as The Joker. Michael Cera voices orphan Dick Grayson, while Rosario Dawson and Ralph Fiennes appear as Barbara Gordon and Alfred respectively.
In the clip, Arnett and Galifianakis also discuss working together. Arnett said: "From day one, when they said Zach was going to be part of the movie I thought: 'This marble-mouthed fool from North Carolina, he doesn't know what he's doing.' I'm kidding, I'm totally kidding."
Galifianakis added: "I've known Will for a long time. Strangely our relationship is a bit like Batman and The Joker's when I think about it."
Watch the clip below.
Earlier this year, The LEGO Batman Movie came under fire from Catholic evangelists who have slammed the film as "pro-gay propaganda".
John Henry Westen, Canadian Editor-in-chief of the socially conservative website LifeSiteNews.com, posted a review of the film titled "BEWARE: LEGO Batman movie promotes gay adoption". He criticised the creators for being "so anxious to subtly indoctrinate the little ones into the gender ideology that making it humorous came as a distant second thought."
LifeSiteNews is part of the Campaign Life Coalition, an anti-abortion, anti-same-sex marriage political lobbyist organisation.
Westen also referenced a review by Michael Hamilton of conservative blog website PJ Media. In the blog, Hamilton summarises the film as "orphan adoption by two dads, homoerotic attraction, and penis jokes." He then takes issue with the filmmakers for making such acts "seem plain as vanilla and American as apple pie."

Client Testimonials
Dear Peter,
Wow again!!! Thank you!!!! I cried looking at our wedding pictures….with happy tears!! You're the best… Take good care of yourself It was a real pleasure to work with you!
Annie & Daniel
Dear Peter,
I just wanted to sincerely thank you for a wonderful photoshoot this Saturday! I appreciate you taking all the time to make sure every picture was just right, despite the fact that you had your engagement the next day! Lara and I had an absolutely wonderful time and what I think we enjoyed the most was the fact that, like us, you were a perfectionist! The hardest thing to find is someone who views things, the way you do.. And when we were taking the first few pictures and you noticed lara's ring turned away, and fixed it. It was clear to both of us at that moment that our pictures were going to be great! The amount of time you put into each picture you took, also to make sure everything is just right, is one of the reasons your pictures distinguish you from the rest of the photographers on the net!
The picture you sent us was absolutely amazing! I didn't even recognize Lara and I in it, it's such a good picture! Well done! Also, until the time when you do send us the everything.. Any teasers are HIGHLY appreciated!! We are refreshing our hotmail inboxes constantly waiting for more!
Thanks again for everything,
Mostafa & Lara
Dear Peter,
We couldn't be happier with our photos! They turned out better than I could have imagined! We weren't exactly sure what we wanted at first, but you spent a lot of time with us beforehand and thank God you did 🙂 Thank you for providing a lot of direction during the wedding, and listening and incorporating our ideas when we offered them. Nothing seemed out of the question or unattainable with you. Your confidence really helped me relax and enjoy our day. The hardest part now is deciding which ones we want for the album. We will gladly recommend you to anyone who is getting married, (we already have).
Beth & Andrew Luscombe.
Dear Peter,
Thank-you for sharing our special day with us. We would like to thank you very much for all the work you have put into our wedding photos. They are absolutely fantastic and are full of wonderful memories. Thank you for making our wedding day so special,
Mary & Costa Karamanis
Dear Peter,
Wow wow wow! I love these so far. I cant wait for the DVD! All our laughs were really genuine as you made this such a relaxing and fun experience. We may have a referral for you. We have friends who actually got married down south a couple of years ago, but never had an engagement session and have no professional pictures of them. After I showed them your black and white "teaser", they were interested doing in something like that.
Gillian Lindsay
Dear Peter,
Like them?? Haha! I love them! They are amazing!!! I need to sit down and look at them a thousand times to choose my favorites! Even my mother in law was going crazy! Thank you so so so so much!!

Saraland Lions Club presents plaques of appreciation to several Saraland businesses for help with Annual Fruit Sale fundraiser
(In the plaque presentation photo above, provided by Martin Walker, from left to right, are Ben Smith. vice president and general manager of S/M Transportation; Randy Herring; warehouse manager of S/M Transportation; Martin Walker, Lions Club fruit sale chairman; Jim Moore, owner Moore Properties and Joe Leach, president, Saraland Lions Club)
At a recent meeting, the Saraland Lions Club presented plaques of appreciation to Jim Moore, owner of Moore Properties; Ben Smith, vice president of S/M transportation and Randy Herring, warehouse manager.
"Saraland Lions have used Mr. Moore's warehouse for the last three years for our annual fruit sale," said Martin Walker, spokesman for the Lions. And, he said, S/M transportation has, also for the last three years, loaded their forklift onto a trailer, unloaded it into Moore's warehouse and unloaded the cases of fruit off a 40-foot trailer, all at no charge to Saraland Lions Club.
The annual fruit sale is a fundraiser for Saraland Lions, and Walker said, "It's businesses in Saraland helping the Lions Club that make projects like like fruit sale a success each year." Because of their generosity, "We are able to help a lot of needy people with the profit from our projects," he said.

Like each io 11 discharge, iOS 11.2 is perfect with the iPhone 5S or later, iPad scaled down 2 or later and sixth era iPod touch or later. iOS 11.2 consequently advises perfect gadgets to redesign (expect annoying on the off chance that you don't), however in the event that this hasn't occurred for you it can be activated physically by going to Settings > General > Software Update. Tip: Apple iOS beta analyzers, you may need to unroll your gadget for the refresh to show up.
Should You Upgrade? Apple Jasa Like Facebook
iOS refreshes shift in measure, contingent upon gadget, however as a 'noteworthy point' refresh iOS 11.2 is bigger than most at approximately 400MB. In the event that you are refreshing straightforwardly from iOS 10, nonetheless, you'll see an extensive iOS 11 redesign and your gadget will be on iOS 11.2 when completed (yes, it's odd however it's a rollup overhaul).
The Deal Breakers
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is jailbroken beware because iOS 11.2 will break it. Interestingly hackers have made progress in opening up iOS 11 (more so than iOS 10) so an iOS 11.2 jailbreak may come soon, but until it does steer clear.
Meanwhile looking closely at overall stability, the initial picture after 24 hours is perhaps as mixed as you might expect for such a clearly rushed update. The most obvious consequence is Apple Pay Cash (pulled last minute from iOS 11), was finally added but doesn't actually work yet as Apple has not made the switch server side. Furthermore users around the world are being told iOS 11.2 delivers Apple Pay Cash in the release notes when it's a US-only feature for now. That's causing a lot of confusion and frustration.
Elsewhere the biggest iOS 11 problem for many continues with battery life issues again widely reported on social media. In addition some iPhone X users are finding Face ID doesn't work after upgrading to iOS 11.2 and while some found a restart fixed it, that isn't working for everyone. App crashes do appear to have improved though, even if there's a clear lack of polish. Again blame that unscheduled release.
Read More : Apple let a fake $5 Cuphead Game Into the App Store
Apple iOS 11.2 Verdict: Unless You Have The Restart Bug, Hold Fire (Especially If You Own An iPhone X) So here's the arrangement: if your iPhone is a casualty of the restart bug then iOS 11.2 is for you. Whatever different issues it presents, they are not as terrible as not having the capacity to work your cell phone. So cross your fingers and update.
In any case, for every other person, I would exhort you hold off. iOS 11.2 is so hurried I basically don't believe it and it hasn't established a decent connection when a) the feature highlight doesn't really work, b) security content is "coming soon", and c) it's softening the greatest new innovation up the iPhone X and a restart isn't working for everybody. Hell, even its substance portrayal is incorrect – particularly on the off chance that you live outside the US.
I think (in time) Apple will concede iOS 11 was an age with awfully many surged updates and iOS 11.2 is likely the nadir in what has been a horrible week for Apple programming. In any case, don't expect that confirmation at any point in the near future in this way, until at that point, don't be a guinea pig. "It just works" feels like ancient history right now.
