A few days ago I thought to add something new to my daughter's dinner – onion. I made the combo of carrot, corn, onion and beef. It tastes decent and my daughter ate it all. As a note I only put in a couple outter slices that's 1/8 of onion size. Basically not much! That night, she woke slightly earlier for her first stretch and cried in pain to get farts out of her system. She farted a few time and be grumpy. I fed her twice to get her back to sleep. I had cauliflower for dinner as well and I read it can gives breastfed babies gas. So, the next day I tried onion again with only one slice this time. My daughter slept normal for her first stretch and then with her second stretch she only slept for an hour and woke up crying in pain again. She did a few farts and I could hear her tummy rumble. I fed her infant's friend and fed her back to sleep. She then slept for almost 4hrs. That's the longest for hmmm 3 to 4 months? Last two night I didn't put in any onion and she didn't wake up farting. In conclusion, onion is not for every baby.

Sleep training day 100
Alright, it has been a 100 days and nothing much has changed apart from she can sit by herself, pull herself to a standing position and teething. Well, a lot has happened but just not much with my daughter's sleeping. I am going to stop blogging about it because there isn't much to report. Maybe I will talk about her eating instead. That's more fun. OK let's end this by talking her sleep from last night. Well, she was ok. Woke up around 2hrs maybe? Didn't keep track so the time is a big vague. I know I did a feed at 1am and then another around 3am. I was too tired to wait till 4am. She woke up at 6am, sigh, playing. I got her in cot and I just laid there next to her while she was playing. I then waited till close to 7am and fed her laying down. That got her another 45m of sleep or so.
Today, another fussy nap day. With her first nap, it took me 30mins to walk her and she only slept for 30mins. With second nap, it was a little better around an hour.
Tonight, got her to sleep around 9pm and too early to tell how tonight would go. I am not holding my breath though.
Sleep training day 98 and 99
The memory for the last two nights were a blur. Last night, she did have one good first stretch-sort of. I went to shower right after I got her to bed. When I came back from shower she was sleeping on our bed because my husband had moved her when she woke up. Then she slept till after 1am. That's the longest stretch we've got out of her so far. After that, she went back to 1hr to 2 hrs or shorter. The night before I think she was quiet steady for second half of the night, waking up 2hrs or so. Nap-wise, still fussy but better.
Today, I finally managed to walk her to sleep in the bathroom again with little protest. She wasn't as fussy as a few days ago. Phew for that! She slept for an hour then we spent the afternoon out. When she was right about to fall asleep, she got woken up to the sound of my friend's mum. My daughter didn't sleep until she got back to the car. Without protest, she fell asleep as we started to head home. I managed to move her to back to cot when we got home. Her nap wasn't too long though – 46mins total.
Tonight, I fed a bit earlier before 9pm. Nope, she didn't fall asleep. I moved her back to cot while I sat in hoping to get her to sleep. She just rolled around and played. I thought this isn't right so I moved her to other darker room ready to walk her. Once she was in the other room, she rested her head on my shoulder wanting to sleep! Ha! She did want to sleep but just too distracted. However, she woke up as soon as I went back into the room. I walked her to sleep again. She slept for 2 hours before I went to shower. While I was ready to get into the shower I heard her cry. I trusted my husband would take care of it so continue to wash up. When I went back to the room she was sleeping on our bed again. I think our daughter loves our bigger bed more than her cot. She would rolled around in her sleep from back to tummy and vice versa. If she is in cot, she would only roll to tummy and then be awake. What's the deal with that? Does she wants more blanket or pillows? Or our smell is enough to make her comfort enough to just roll? I was scared she will roll out of bed so I kept checking on her.
So far, tonight is ok. Please make this a smooth night.
Sleep training day 97
Hmmmm… After I fed my daughter at 1am, I moved her back to sleep. She slept for 2hrs after. After that she woke quite often and as though discomfort from teething. I gave her extra feeds to survive till morning.
I am not sure whether it is a phase for my daughter but she is sleeping less for her nap. This morning I walked in every room upstairs to get her to sleep and she slept for 50mins. It took me 30mins. This afternoon, I failed to put her to cot after a feed and she woke up protesting. I didn't give up and know she needed the nap, it took me 30mins to get 36mins of sleep out of her. Sigh. It is bad week!!
Tonight, we started her night like usual and she did a poop before bed time. Hopefully no tummy issue for tonight. I failed to get her to cot again after a feed (what's wrong with me?!) so needed to walk her back to sleep. I climbed into the cot to lay her down. So far so good. Let's see how she goes tonight.
Sleep training day 96
Last night was the same, no big surprise. My daughter did wake up at 8am instead of 7am though.
Today, she protested when I walked her to sleep with her first nap. Although she fussed but still managed to get her down for an hour nap. With second nap, I fed her to sleep because we went out for lunch and came home 30m prior her nap time. I didn't feed then because if she fell asleep and was short nap then she will need to have an early night. Well, her second nap was short. Not sure if because tummy issue or because didn't poop yesterday, she pooped three times today! So many pooooooooo!
Tonight, she woke up quiet a lot already. 4 times I think. I just gave her a feed and popped her back to cot. She slept better when I am next to her but got to keep trying for her to sleep in cot whenever possible. Well I don't see a miracle happening tonight so got to sleep as much as I can now. Night people!
Sleep training day 95
Last night was ok but my daughter still woke up a lot. Since I stopped recording the time I don't know how long she has slept for. I was really tired in the morning. During difficult nights I am grateful to be living with my in-laws that they would be able to take care of my daughter while I snooze some more in the morning to make up for it.
Today, she refused her naps again and want to be up for 4hrs before going to sleep. Sigh, this is too soon for her age. My husband has discovered our daughter is teething with her upper tooth! He saw a white dot and I confirmed (while she was sleeping) that her upper tooth has broke through a little. No wonder she has been cranky lately! Can I blame her poor sleep on it too? It means more cranky days to come because the upper front tooth is bigger and will take longer to break through. Then the other one would pop out after this!!!
Tonight, we started her night around 9pm and has been sleeping for an hour so far. I guess in hindsight she is doing better with her first stretch already because she can sleep through an hour at least.
I am feeling defeated today because my friend told me her son is sleeping better these two nights. She also tried not to feed her boy too much at night and did a bit of control crying. The underlying aim is to not pick up her baby and find other means to comfort him. How can I comfort my baby when she would sit up and stand up using the side bar? I have faith that my daughter will get over this phase but wish to be soon. Please, I need some good night sleep.
Sleep training day 94
Last night was the same, my daughter got up around 2hrs stretch. I was really tired this morning when I got up so skipped the park walk with in-laws and baby.
Today was a fussy day. My daughter refused her naps. She went to sleep after more than 4hrs being up. Then the dog woke her and I had to walk her back to sleep. It would be difficult to place her back to cot so I had Her sleeping next to me. She didn't sleep long though and I was really tired, so I fed her in bed and that got her back to sleep for another 1hr 20mins. It is a no no but I am desperate for more sleep. In total, she slept for 2hrs. However she didn't have second nap because she absolutely refused it. I walked for 30mins and even tried feeding, both didn't work so I had to skip.
Tonight, we started her night early. She slept for 2hrs maybe then kept getting up. She has a blocked nose, I can hear it. I just got her back to sleep again. I hope she will sleep better.

This year to incent my kids to complete their summer math workbooks I offered something that would have motivated ME as a kid – cold, hard cash. The results were pathetic! I think my 7-year-old received a couple of bucks and he was the high-earner. When I asked them why they weren't more focused on the math I got a consistent answer: "Summer is for relaxing, not homework!"
We live in Minnesota and goodness knows, summer is fleeting. Those of us who are business owners have the same temptation to relax. But now that fall is here it's important to refocus on your business curriculum. If you've been on summer break here are some things to do:
Check your math facts.
- Are you current on all your billing?
- Are any of your clients behind on their payments?
- Are your expenses in line?
- Are you profitable?
Review your history.
- What are your sales-to-date?
- What are the results of your latest marketing effort?
Catch up on your summer reading.
- What have your competitors been up to?
- What are the latest trends in your industry?
- Are there any current economic, social or political issues that will affect your business? How?
Study for finals.
- What does your fall forecast look like – will your year be a good one?
- Which customers and referral sources should you be contacting?
Of course, you can't tackle all this at once. Set some time aside to study. Because of the schedules at our house, homework is relegated to that most challenging part of the day, the hours between school and dinner when everyone is tired, hungry and crabby. I don't recommend this! Try to schedule a time when you can attack the work you need to do with some energy and enthusiasm.
Of course, I don't like homework any more than anyone else. When I thought about having school-age kids I rarely saw myself throwing math facts out like a drill sergeant or harping on the reading logs. But ultimately it's about results so we stick to it. Would love to write more but it's time to run the kids through their spelling lists…

If you're like many financial planners, you may be reluctant to funnel your time and money into niche marketing. After all, shouldn't you try to reach as many potential clients as possible with your marketing efforts? Won't you be missing out on a lot of opportunities when you tailor your message to appeal to a smaller group? Surprisingly, the answer is "no." In fact, when you cast your net too wide or try to be all things to all people, you're more likely to fail.
The truth is, focusing on a niche helps you stand out from your competition and eliminates many of the potential objections people have about doing business with you. The key to attracting lots of new clients is to have a marketing message that speaks directly to a specific group.
That said, there are a lot of people out there who might be interested in your financial planning services. How do you narrow your focus and accurately pinpoint which group is best for your business … and vice versa?
First, I recommend starting with your current list of clients. Look for commonalities: whether one group is spending more on your services than another, who you enjoyed working with, and so on. For instance, maybe you notice that a significant portion of your new clients are widows or widowers, or couples who have just had a child. Building on your current strengths is one of the easiest ways to become the predominant expert in a particular area.
Once you have an idea of what your general niche market might be, here are five questions to ask yourself:
What Is the Size of the Market?
You don't want to look back a year down the road and realize that the market isn't as big as you assumed.
Is the Marketplace Growing or Shrinking?
How many new people are entering the niche who may need your products or services? For instance, if you're planning on targeting recent college grads, your market isn't going to disappear anytime soon. But if you target baby boomers, you have to assume that your pool of potential clients will eventually dry up.
Can You Easily Reach Key Decision Makers?
Are there magazines just for the market you are targeting? Associations? Websites? Are there other people selling products or services to this group that you can joint-venture with or rent a mailing list from? This can trip up people who define their niche through attitudes or behaviors such as "I market to people who want to take control of their financial futures." It's tougher than you think to find those people.
How Much Money Is Your Niche Able or Willing to Spend?
You can accept as gospel that some of your prospects will think your prices or commissions are too high. In reality, that has more to do with how well you communicate the benefits of your financial planning services, but the market you choose to sell to will also influence how much you can charge.
Is There Potential for Additional Business?
It's easier to sell something additional to an existing customer than it is to acquire a new customer. Not surprisingly, a niche that will use your services often is far more attractive than one that uses them only occasionally.
And finally, a friendly reminder of what you already know: You need to be aware of any legal or regulatory issues that govern your services or niche market. For example, as a financial planner, compliance issues may limit what you can communicate on websites and in your marketing materials.

Rocky Mountain Underground Professor 2.0 2016 - 2005 Review by A Better Ski
The Rocky Mountain Underground Professor 2.0 is a playful powder ski that has a moderate flex for those who want to rip a bit faster and more aggressive. This would be the ski I bring out when the snow is dropping and I want a ski that can float and surf well, but still is able to ski fast.
Rocky Mountain Underground Professor 2.0 Video Review
Jacket: Patagonia Primo Down Pants: The North Face Sickline Goggle: Bolle Emperor
Boots: Rossignol Alias Sensor 120
Bindings: Tyrolia AAATTACK 13
Size: 175cm
Days: 1
Riders: Matt
Conditions: Fresh Pow (12″), Soft Chop, Groomed, Trees
Ski Personality: The Rocky Mountain Underground Professor 2.0 is a surfy and playful powder ski that still has a bit of stiffness underfoot for going fast.
On the Snow Feel: The RMU Professor 2.0 has a surfy and playful feel that isn't overly loose or washy.
Powder: With its 122mm waist, the Rocky Mountain Underground Professor 2.0 is truly a powder ski. Float is definitely solid here, and in 12+ inches of fresh cold smoke powder, the Professor has no problem staying on top. Even in the shorter 175cm, I never felt like I needed more to stay on top of the snow. The ski has a good amount of tip and tail rocker, helping to ensure that it's maneuverable in the deeper snow. While I felt that the ski has a playful side, it's not quite as loose or surfy as the 4FRNT Hoji with its full rocker profile. Still, the Professor was plenty maneuverable that I had no problem taking in deep snow in the trees.
Turn Initiation and Carving: The Rocky Mountain Underground Professor 2.0 is a true powder ski so don't expect it to carve the groomers with tenacity or excitement. Still, there is just enough camber underfoot to give you edge hold and carvability when you need to get back to the lift. The ski is quite maneuverable at slower speeds (I'm sure it helped that I skied the 175cm), and it was really ease to slarve and slash turns at any moment. When you want to open things up (this has a 21m turn radius) and put some speed on them, it was surprisingly easy to get them on edge. Yes, there's a lot of rocker underfoot, but not quite as much as the Liberty Schuster Pro. When combined with a five-point sidecut it doesn't take a super high angle to engage the edge. The running length is also decently long, and with a touch of camber underfoot, I found the ski stable on edge. I also found the Professor surprisingly quick from edge to edge given that it's 122mm underfoot. I wouldn't say that the ski shot you from edge to edge with a high amount of energy or liveliness, but it was still fun getting it from edge to edge. I also really like the directional feel of the Professor. It's not necessarily a charger, but feels more stable than expected on edge. The ski feels very similar to the Liberty Schuster Pro, but I'd probably give the edge to the Professor for energy out of the turn (although the difference is pretty small).
Speed: The Rocky Mountain Underground Professor 2.0 does a decent job at speed. Even with a small amount of camber underfoot, the ski doesn't feel overly washy or loose. I was able to open things up, get the ski on edge and go as fast as I want. The moderately stiff mid-section does a decent job of absorbing terrain and I never noticed any tip chatter. The ski actually reminded me a lot of the Liberty Schuster Pro here as well. Sure it's a fun, loose, and surfy powder ski, but it's okay with opening things up and just letting them rip. Just don't expect a Blizzard Bodacious when it comes to speed.
Uneven/Variable Terrain: It didn't take long for the fresh pow to turn into roughed up variable snow the day I skied the Professor 2.0. In those conditions the Professor does perfectly fine. Rocker in tip and tail helped to keep the ski maneuverable, while also allowing the tips to stay above the roughed up snow. The stiff mid-section helps to provide more stability and really helped to smooth out chopped up snow. The ski didn't necessarily want to blast through chop, as much as it wants to rise over the top and smooth things out. I never really noticed any issues with tip deflection, but will say that tip and tail are softer than the mid-section and could see that becoming an issue for big guys. Still, I never had any issues coming in to roughed-up snow with speed.
Edge Hold: I didn't have the Rocky Mountain Underground Professor 2.0 an any hard snow, but I'm not expecting it to like hard pack or ice as much as a narrower all-mountain ski. Still, the Professor has just enough camber underfoot to give you a little stability when you're on groomed terrain.
Bottom Line: I think the Rocky Mountain Underground Professor 2.0 would be a good ski for those who want a playful and surfy feel without giving up stability and life on groomed terrain. The Professor also has enough stiffness underfoot to provide a smooth and damp ride at speed. I really liked the combination, and feel like anyone that likes to ski powder faster will appreciate the extra dampness. You could probably bring this out any day that is soft, but it's a powder ski first, and really best for the days when the snow is really deep.

The restaurant does cater to older crowd, their regular menu $$$, and their lighting is very dim. So please pardon my fuzzy & over-flashed photos. I was pleased to discover the atmosphere to be friendly and attire to be casual.
Before I get to the food of the night, let me explain their deals.
All their "special" meal deals require the purchase of another item. It doesn't matter what the item is but you need to make purchase something additional to each of your "special" deal. I think the lowest menu items are their sides dishes $4-7. Server told me that substituting sides which costs additional $3 is fine too.
$10 for ENTIRE Maine Lobster comes with Rice Pilaf, Butter, and Lemon
For instances, our group purchased cups & bowls of soup, side dishes and beverages. These ranged from $3-8.
Anyways, after we were seated, the server brought over some delicious warm french bread & butter.
We were quickly given glasses of water and we ordered the lobsters. Our appetizers came promptly.
Limeade Martini Rimmed with Sugar (They said it tasted like a watermelon Jolly Rancher)
Soup of the day: French Onion Soup with Baguette $5
New England Clam Chowder in Bowl $8
Max & I both enjoyed this soup. I thought it was a bit on the pricier side but the soup was very creamy and had nice chunks of fresh clam.
OMG! The lobster took nearly a century to arrive to our table and into our hungry bellies! Seriously took like 45-60 min. But I suppose it was their promotional item of the night and maybe lobsters are feisty animals that don't like to be eaten? But it was worth the wait!
$10 Maine Lobster with rice pilaf, butter, and lemon.
This lobster was HUGE! It clearly impressed me because I was expecting smaller for the price. The meat was fresh without having a seafood taste. They also gave us metal tools and lobster bibs! There was plenty of meat in the lobster. YUM! Worthy of the $10 deal.
However, the rice pilaf was ordinary.
Garlic Mashed Potatoes $4
The side of garlic mashed potatoes was disappointment. The garlic taste was muted perhaps Max's love for garlic in his cooking has made me immune. But I felt it tasted just like regular potatoes, it had russet red skins and was nothing spectacular. However if you don't like anything else on the menu I believe this is the most affordable additional side dish.
Our server was friendly but seemed to be busy most of the night with other tables. It also noted for groups of 6+ there is 18% tip charge.
Oh towards the end of the meal, the server asked us about dessert. I was bummed because I was really full and I had spent a long time earlier looking for a dessert menu. So I'm uncertain what things they offer but perhaps they have it on their website.
Verdict: I probably would not dine here on a non-deal night since their prices were $$$ on their menu and other than the lobster I found the food to be ordinary. But for special treat and a great deal on seafood, I can see myself coming back for more.

'Let me have everybody's attention.' A voice called out over a loudspeaker.
All the Corpers congregated in the quadrangle looking up at the Camp Commandant, a tall, fat man dressed in camouflage fatigues. Bade and Lola stayed at the back where they had a good view of what was going on around them and could still hear the speaker. Looking around, Bade noticed that most of the soldiers were now armed with Ak-47 rifles, the amused expressions they had worn at the exercise grounds that morning seemed to have faded.
'I'm sure you have all heard about the attack on the secondary school that occurred this morning,' the commandant began, 'I'm assuring you that we are perfectly safe here. There's nothing to make us think that we are being targeted as well…'
'There's nothing to make us think we aren't.' A male voice interjected from the crowd.
'There's no need to panic, the army is on the tail of these fanatics and I'm sure very soon, they'll be apprehended,' the commandant continued, ignoring the interruption. 'We are safe here, these brave men of the Nigerian Army that you see around you are ready to defend these grounds if it is called for. There is nowhere safer to be right now. Let's just stay calm and carry on with our program here. Dismissed.' He concluded, handing over the microphone to an aide and leaving the stage.
'Do you think they believe what they are telling us?' Lola asked as the crowd dispersed.
'I'm not sure really,' Bade replied. 'But they are right to say that this is probably the safest place to be at the moment.'
'Yeah, except for the fact that these soldiers are Hausa and Muslims as well, just like the fanatics. Some of them probably even grew up together on these streets. If it comes down to it, would they put their lives on the line for ours? Or would they just stand aside when the fanatics come and later claim they did the best they could?' Lola asked, a tremor in her voice.
Bade looked down at her, she sounded genuinely scared. 'I'm sure we'll be fine if we stick together. Us corpers are a lot more than they are, I hope.
'And half of us are also either Hausas or Muslims or both. What makes you think they will stand with us, or even worse, they turn on us when the fanatics come?'
Bade shook his head. 'Don't think like that. These corpers are just normal people, like us. There's no need to work yourself up into a fit. Besides, like the Commandant said, there's nothing to make us think they are coming here.'
'And like the dissenting voice said, there's nothing to make us think that they aren't. Lola countered. Bade rubbed his head in frustration. 'Just be careful, whatever happens, we stick together.' He assured her.
They separated, Lola going towards the girls' dormitories while Bade headed towards his own. His forehead was furrowed in thought as he passed, not wanting to, but still considering the implications of what Lola had said about the ethnic divisions. There was no reason for such bigotry to take root in such an enlightened age, but Bade was also aware that the divisions of race, colour and creed no matter how tiny or infinitesimal were always there, and it only took an ill-timed action to deepen those lines into chasms. When such divisions deepened, rationality goes out the window, and all the things which make man the higher being he is disappear, leaving only a raw, raging animal, who would do violence with no further prompting.
It had happened in Rwanda, it had happened in South Africa, even the Nigerian Civil War had taken its own fair share of casualties based on their tribe. Bade could not just believe that he would see such mindless behaviour in his lifetime. It might only have been his imagination, but it suddenly seemed to him that the patterns had shifted. He was walking through a throng of Corpers when he thought he noticed the change, where people had been gathered in multi-faceted groups before, he now saw the darker-skinned Hausas standing away from the fairer-skinned Igbos, one side predominantly Muslim, the other predominantly Christian. It was like the divisions in American films about prisons where the Blacks always stood separate from the Whites. Both sides seemed to be giving themselves hostile looks, but Bade shook his head, it was probably all just in his head. Not everybody could suddenly start thinking the same way Lola had been thinking. He ignored the fact that that it had occurred to her probably meant it had occurred to others as well. They were suddenly sitting on a powder keg, and all it would need was one lit match for it all to go up in flames.
Bade entered his dormitory. At least there, there was still some semblance of sanity. He nodded to his roommates that he passed, sat down on the lower portion of the bunk which was his, and decided that maybe it was time to finally know some of the people he was sharing a room with. He strolled over to where a group of six had gathered playing cards.
'Hey guys, can I join?' He asked.
'The closest man looked up at him. 'Sure bro, when this round is done.' The man said, shifting a little to give him space.
'My name is Bade.'
The man nodded, his eyes on his cards. 'Emeka is mine.' They all went round introducing themselves, asides from Emeka, there was Ahmed, John, Sulaiman, Chris and Tomiwa. Bade smiled to himself, apparently, not everybody was thinking like Lola, at least here were Christians and Muslims playing cards together. Surely, nothing could occur that would make them suddenly feel like killing each other just because they had different religions. There was still hope for them.
When the attack occurred a few days later, Bade was in for a rude awakening.

Visionary architecture, vintage-meets-contemporary fashion and interiors, street markets selling rainbows of fresh flowers, haring (raw herring), caramel-filled stroopwafels (caramel-syrup-filled waffles with ice cream) and cheese, and borrel ('drinks') at canal-side cafés are all reasons we love the Netherlands. But what we love about the country above all is its spirit. If something doesn't exist, the Dutch will design it, build it, manufacture it, recycle it, craft it, launch it (the Netherlands is one of the world's hottest start-up hubs) and make it a reality. There's a sense that anything's possible here (and it invariably is).
Art & Architecture
The legacies of Dutch Masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Van Gogh, Frans Hals, Hieronymus Bosch, Piet Mondrian and MC Escher hang on the walls of the Netherlands' world-renowned museums, along with contemporary Dutch works.
The Dutch influence on construction spans more than a millennia, from Romanesque and Gothic medieval magnum opuses to Dutch Renaissance creations, revolutionary, Golden Age gabled houses and engineering endeavours including canals, neoclassicism, Berlage and the Amsterdam School, Functionalism, modernism, structuralism, neorationalism, postmodernism and neomodernism, with trailblazing structures making their mark on the cityscapes.
Geography plays a key role in the Netherlands' iconic landscapes. More than half the pancake-flat country is below sea level, and 20% has been reclaimed from the sea, making rows of polders (areas of drained land) omnipresent. Uninterrupted North Sea winds have powered windmills since the 13th century, pumping water over the dykes, and milling flour and more. Some two-thirds of the surface is devoted to agriculture, including fields of tulips.
The flat, fabulously scenic landscapes make cycling in the Netherlands a pleasure (headwinds not withstanding). Cycling is an integral part of life and locals live on their fiets (bicycle): more than a quarter of all journeys countrywide are by bike, rising to more than a third in big cities.
Experiencing the wind-in-your-hair freedom of cycling is a breeze. Bike-rental outlets are ubiquitous, and the country is criss-crossed with some 32,000km of cycling paths, including the Dutch 'motorways' of cycling, the long-distance LF routes. Grab some wheels and start exploring.
Café Culture
When the Dutch say café they mean a pub, and there are thousands of them. In a country that values socialising and conversation more than drinking, cafés are places for contemplation and camaraderie. Many cafés have outdoor terraces, which are glorious in summer and sometimes covered and heated in winter. Most serve food, from bar snacks to fabulous meals. The most atmospheric is a bruin café (brown café), named for the nicotine stains of centuries past – the ultimate place to experience the Dutch state of gezelligheid (conviviality, cosiness).

Top remaining unrestricted free agents
- Dan Cleary is high character and capable of scoring 20 goals
- Bought-out Mikhail Grabovski can help an offense
- Jaromir Jagr can make things happen at 41
Although most of the high-profile unrestricted free agents agreed to deals on the first day of the signing period, some interesting players remain available. Here are 10 players who can still help a team:
1. Dan Cleary: High character, feisty, capable of scoring 20 or more goals. Good playoff guy. Several teams interested.
2. Mikhail Grabovski: Although Toronto Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle might disagree, Grabovski can help an offense. He's a 50-point guy, capable of scoring 20 to 25 goals.
3. Jaromir Jagr: Although he couldn't find the net in the playoffs, he still possesses some offensive magic. Even at 41, he can make things happen.
COLUMN:Who improved the most?
4. Brenden Morrow: He can still offer leadership, tenacity, character and perhaps the odd goal here and there. Would be a good fit for a team on the rise.
5. Ron Hainsey: He played almost 23 minutes a game on the Winnipeg Jets' defense. He's a smart man. He was a leader for the NHL Players' Association during the collective-bargaining negotiations, and always conducted himself professionally no matter how heated the negotiations.
OVERVIEW:Wrapping up Day 1
6. Tim Thomas: Not many teams are looking for goaltending, but those who are have to be intrigued. Yes, he is 39 and didn't play last season. But he was spectacular the last time we saw him play. Plus, he can't command a big ticket after taking a year off.
7. Ryan Whitney: He's big, can provide some offense and some teams are looking for defense.
8. Nik Antropov: He's 6-6, 240 and he can score 15 to 20 goals. Could be a short-term fix for a team in need of some offense.
9. Tom Gilbert: The Minnesota Wild bought him out because of salary cap issues. He was a 19-minute per game guy during the regular season. He's only 30.
10. Damien Brunner: With the Red Wings focused on bringing back Cleary, Brunner is available. He left the team with five goals in the playoffs and had 26 points in the regular season.

March has been a pretty good month for the Greens. We've taken our third town council seat in less than a year in Totnes , an amazing feat for any local party. I'm prepared to say that Totnes might even become a potential Green target seat in 2014 and might well be the party's best chance of taking a Parliamentary seat off the Tories. Time will tell, of course.
However, last night saw Mid-Suffolk Greens take the Haughley and Wetherden council seat off the Tories with a whopping 61% of the vote, a 33.2% net swing from the Tories since the 2007 local elections. The Independent has called it a "bombshell on major parties", whilst The Evening Standard hailed the win as a "shock" to the main parties so close to a General Election. Jim Jepps has the full breakdown of the results.
The Mid-Suffolk district council win comes off the back of the Greens getting a second Councillor Dean Walton after a Babergh district councillor resigned the Tory whip and joined the Greens. Quite the conversion and not one we're particularly used to, but a welcomed addition to the growing ranks of Green councillors in the country.
On April 1st, less than a week away, voters in the John O'Gaunt ward in Lancaster go to the polls to elect a new city councillor following the resignation of a Labour councillor. Ian Chamberlain has been selected as the Green Party candidate and is keen to join fellow Green and current John O'Gaunt councillor, Jude Towers. If the Greens win the by-election they will become the largest party in the Lancaster and Fleetwood constituency with a total of 13 seats. However, Lancaster and Fleetwood is a Labour 'must hold' and a Tory 'must win' if they wish to form a majority Government.
The by-election represents the last challenge for either Labour, the Tories or the Greens, to throw down their marker at this election. A Green win will only reinforce the idea that many voters are tired of Labour and the Conservatives and are seeking a different kind of change to the one being talked-up by David Cameron. A Labour win would give the party a much-needed boost of morale before an election is called and for the Tories, a win would represent a turn around in their recent misfortunes.
In the words of Greg Wallace, "it doesn't get much tougher than this."

Apple season is upon us! In Baltimore apples are ripening this month, while up north apples are will be arriving through November. I'm super excited to make all the appley goodness including cider, cider jelly, apple pies, and applesauce. I'll also be teaching a hands on applesauce workshop next Wednesday, September 21 with the Baltimore Orchard Project! Stay tuned for details here.
The recipe below is an easy, no sugar added applesauce recipe with basic canning instructions, adapted from the Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving.
About 2.5 – 3 pounds makes 1 quart, approximately 1.5 pounds in 1 pint. Prepare applesauce in batches of 12 pounds at a time.
- Wash apples; drain.
- Core, peel, and quarter apples. Peeling is optional, but cut apple pieces small to reduce skin pieces. While you are prepping, you can squeeze lemon juice over apples to prevent discoloration.
- Add apples to a large saucepot and cook until soft, adding just enough water to prevent sticking.
- Puree half of the apples using a food processor or food mill. Puree all apples for smooth sauce or a portion for chunky sauce. You can use a potato masher for small batches.
- Return pulp to saucepot. Bring to a boil (212°F), stirring to prevent sticking. Optionally, add spices like cinnamon, cloves, or lavender during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Maintain boil while filling jars. Ladle hot sauce into hot jars, leaving ½" headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust two-piece caps.
- Process pints and quarts 20 minutes in a boiling water canner.

We're going back to the summer of '17 for the first night of #TheologyBeerCamp in Denver. Peter Rollins and Tripp will give you the 3 essential rules for Theology Beer Camp, tell the story of how they became friends, and what it was like living together. Pete explains why he thinks pastors have superpowers and gets honest about what he thinks about Tripp's beliefs.
Then, they welcome Iliff School of Theology professor Ted Vial to the stage for Tripp and Ted's Excellent 19th Century German Philosophical Adventures. Tripp, Pete and Ted talk about their shared love for 19th Century German philosophers, how most of the way we frame our identity comes from 19th century German philosophy, and what 19th century German philosophy has to say about some contemporary questions, like: "I'm interested in social justice, but Germans are Nazis, so why should I pay attention to them?" and "at the end of the day, aren't all religions just the same?"
Tickets for Theology Beer Camp in Asheville, NC this August 16-18 are on sale now. Ticket prices go up at the end of April, and there are only a limited number of seats available (did we mention it is in brewery?), so act fast before they sell out and prices go up. Activist theologian Robyn Henderson-Espinoza and Lindenwood University professor W. Travis McMaken will be joining us for the 10th anniversary of Hombrewed Christianity – plus many more secret guests.

The practice of Jala Neti is cleansing the nasal passages and sinuses with salted water using a Neti pot with a spout. It is an ancient method of purification and health maintenance used by yogis going back into antiquity. Yogis throughout history have used many hygiene methods to keep their bodies and minds healthy and fit for Yoga practice and meditation. Some of these methods are easily adapted by anyone, who wants better health.
1. Define Jala Neti
"Jala" means "water", and "Neti" is derived from the Sanskrit word "to guide". This indicates the use of the water pot. It guides the water through the nasal passages to facilitate opening them for deep breathing. Using water, salt and a small pot, yogis would daily cleanse the nostrils. This facilitates the practice of Pranayama – yogic breathing exercises – and hatha Yoga exercises. It also promotes general health and well being. This is simple, quick and comfortable to practice. The results are quickly felt. Traditionally, Neti pots were often made from pure copper. It has natural anti-microbial properties (now being used in hospitals for that reason). Stainless steel is a good alternative as it is non-breakable. Ceramic pots are easy to find as are plastic ones. Adding this to one's daily routine is simple and highly rewarding. This has been found by the countless yogis throughout the ages.
2. Benefits of Neti
Daily practice of Jala Neti has so many health benefits that it almost sounds "too good to be true". The first benefit is the immediate effect on freer breathing through nose. This is necessary for Yoga Asanas and Pranayama. Throughout the day, the breath dominates one nostril or the other in a regular cycle with a short period, where both nostrils breathe equally. This cyclical nostril dominance regulates all the functions of the body and mind. The regular practice opens the blocked nostrils for proper breathing. It clears the nostrils of debris and mucus. It offers refreshing better health. It helps in the reduction in sinus infections, infectious illness, mental dullness, headaches and sore throats. Regular nasal irrigation using a Neti pot balances Prana in the body. It promotes the immune system of the individuals.
3. Who are Benefited?
Everyone can be benefited from Neti practice. There may be a few contra-indications due to certain conditions such as nasal cancer or other serious illness, when one's medical professional should be consulted. If a person has bleeding nose, Neti should be avoided till the cause is healed. Else, Jala Neti can be performed daily or even twice or thrice daily. Those prone to sinus infections, ear infections, or sore throats, headaches, dizziness, or mental fog, often find great relief with this. Allergy sufferers usually get relief from Neti. Additionally, those suffering from chronic illness can greatly be benefited.
4. Jala Neti: Integral Part of Healthy Yoga Lifestyle
Jala Neti is the yoga hygiene method that is easy to do. It only takes a few minutes a day. And you don't have to be a yogi to practice Neti daily. By making this an integral part of yoga lifestyle, post nasal drip is reduced or eliminated. Intake of air is greatly enhanced, thus facilitating every cell in the body. Mental alertness and clarity is enhanced, making it easier to concentrate for meditation and hatha yoga practice in particular.
5. Poor Air Quality – Neti Helps
Most urban and suburban areas have high levels of pollution. Even rural countryside also has problems. Also, places with high moisture have molds and fungus. Every place has pollen at various times of the year. Smoke from wood stoves or fireplaces are also common or outdoor burning. All these gasses and particulates get inhaled through our nostrils. Many adhere to the tiny hairs inside the nasal passages. If we don't wash them out via Neti practice, they add to the toxic load in our bodies, which leads to poor immune function.
Daily practising the Jala Neti is recommended, even if we stay home.

The City of Lansing uses a 1 to 10 scale for visually rating the surface condition of a pavement, with 1 being a pavement in a failed condition and 10 being a pavement in excellent condition. Guidelines for rating the pavement surface have been developed by the Michigan Transportation Asset Management Council.
Road condition rating map
The interactive map below details street condition ratings and provides estimated costs for potential street repairs. Type in an address or place to find more information about the streets in that area. Select a street by clicking on it to see surface rating and estimated repair cost information.
Why Does the City Use this Scale?
Most pavements will deteriorate through various phases. The rate at which pavement deteriorates from excellent condition (10) to very poor condition (1) depends largely on its environment, traffic leading conditions, original construction quality and interim maintenance procedures. The City of Lansing has recognized the benefits of performing regular pavement grading to know the existing conditions and to find the best places to fix the streets. The grading scale is one aspect of a larger program not only for pavements but for all infrastructure in the City.
Also called the PASER rating scale, it can generally be translated into maintenance categories as follows:

System and Software Performance Modelling Services
What is Performance Modelling?
Performance modelling is the process of simulating various user and system loads against varying system configurations by using a mathematical approximation of how the model works. Generally this does not require the use of a Load Test environment. This is typically much cheaper than performance testing and can produce very accurate results.
For example, servers are monitored while low level user transactions are executed against the system. A typical Performance Modelling process results in:
- The server counters are correlated with transaction response times.
- The information along with system specifications are fed into a mathematical modelling tool.
- After the data has been entered various models are produced to demonstrate the system's behaviour in varying configurations and user and/or system loads.
- The outputs of performance modelling are used for capacity planning.

Inputs to Tax Policymaking: The Supply Side, the Deficit, and the Level Playing Field
Don Fullerton
NBER Working Paper No. 3507 (Also Reprint No. r1912)
Although supply side theory may have been obvious to economists, it instigated a major change in the nature of tax policymaking through marginal rate cuts in both the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 and the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Also, the 1981 bill was the culmination of an era in which policymakers could use expected revenue increases to enact rate cuts as well as special tax provisions. The deficit became a force in tax policymaking not only because of revenue losses from the 1981 bill, but because the indexation of rate brackets turned projected future surpluses into projected future deficits. Finally, starting in 1982, the legacy of special tax provisions led to cries for a level playing field that would treat similar taxpayers more equally and improve efficiency in the allocation of resources.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT It has been an honor and privilege to serve you as President of the Academy of Accounting Historians. The 1997 Committees that were established last Fall have been actively working toward fulfilling their established charges. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all officers, committee members, and the membership for their hard work and support. In order to better serve our international members and enhance the Academy's international focus, the International Relations Committee and the Strategic Action Committee, are in the process of establishing international area coordinators. The Membership Committee, chaired by Jean Harris, has been very active and has contacted approximately 200 individuals and libraries, encouraging them to join the Academy. As a result, our membership is on the rise. The Public Relations Committee, chaired by Jeanette Sanfilippo, has contacted our library members to offer them a complimentary copy of the bound volume containing volumes 1—3 of the Accounting Historians Journal. Thus far, 50 such library members have requested their complimentary copies of the volume. Furthermore, as in the past, Jeanette staffed the Academy's booth at the recent National Meeting of the American Accounting Association (AAA) in Dallas, Texas. The booth has provided tremendous exposure for the Academy and Jeanette informs me that 28 individuals joined the Academy during their visit to the booth at the recent AAA meeting. The Education Committee, chaired by Gloria Vollmers, is updating the "Guide to Integrating Accounting History into the Accounting Curriculum" which was first developed a few years ago. Gloria will distribute the finished product to all members and it is hoped that Rasoul H. Tondkar this information would be helpful to our members in integrating accounting history into the curriculum. On another matter, a front page article on Bill Samson and the Academy was published in the Wall Street Journal (July 16). this article provided tremendous exposure for the Academy and our Secretary, Bill Samson. Bill has informed me that he has received numerous inquiries on how one might join the Academy. Another highlight for the year is the Academy's 1997 Research Conference. This year's conference, which focuses on a broad theme of "The Past, Present, and Future of Accounting History as it Relates to Methodology, Education, Technology, and International Organizations," will be held in Richmond, Virginia during December 5-6, (Friday and Saturday). A pre-conference reception will be held on Thursday, December 4, from 7:30-9:00 p.m. Additional details concerning the conference, conference registration, and hotel reservation appear in this issue of The Notebook. The Richard G. Vangermeersch Manuscript Award and the Hourglass Award will be presented at this conference. A great program is planned, and I hope that each of you will attend the conference. A meeting of trustees, officers, and key members of the Academy was held on August 17, from 1:00-5:00 p.m. at the annual meeting of the American Accounting Association, in Dallas, Texas. This meeting was very productive. Additionally, the Academy hosted a reception from 8:00—10:00 p.m. on August 17, and many members and others attended the reception. Once again, it has been a pleasure to serve as President of the Academy of Accounting Historians. Rasoul H. Tondkar 2 The Accounting Historians Notebook, October, 1997

Please refer to Section VIII for a discussion of the steps that OpinionSite has undertaken to protect Personal Data.
OpinionSite will renew its Privacy Shield certification annually, unless it subsequently determines that it no longer needs such certification or if it employs a different adequacy mechanism.
Prior to the re-certification, OpinionSite will conduct an in-house verification to ensure that its attestations and assertions with regard to its treatment of Member Personal Data are accurate and that the company has appropriately implemented these practices. Specifically, as part of the verification process, OpinionSite will undertake the following:
- Review this Policy to ensure that it accurately describe the practices regarding the collection of Member Personal Data.

We use third party providers to validate the accuracy of Personal Data you provide so that we may offer better statistical samples to our clients, as well as to prevent fraud. We use third parties to provide us with data they have collected about you and append this data to your demographic profile. In these cases, only a minimum amount of information is transferred to these third parties so as to enable them to perform specific security functions on our behalf.
Additionally, in certain circumstances, we offer individuals the ability to participate in our clients' surveys outside of OpinionSite. If you are asked to participate in such a survey, we will request limited information about you. In some cases, after completion of the initial survey, we may request Personal Data about you in order to provide rewards, to offer you the opportunity to join OpinionSite, or to participate in further surveys.
You may be referred to OpinionSite or our surveys by one of our third-party business partners. In the event that we ask such partner to contact you with additional survey opportunities, we may share certain basic Personal Data that we understand such partner already maintains (such as your e-mail address and gender) as well as certain basic information regarding your OpinionSite activity (such as the last time you completed a survey).

David Cooper
DAEGU GARRISON - Many would agree that the teenage years are probably the most important period in one's life. That's when many people will likely be influenced by those things that will help them reach their goals.
David Cooper, a 10th-grader at Daegu High School (DHS) on Camp Walker, is one such individual. The ambitious Cooper admits that he is eager to have a chance to improve himself.
"I feel like the more I do when I am in high school, the more connections I can have, and I can just be an overall better person, both in my workplace whatever I decide, and in society," he said.
This is the life attitude for this DHS student who will soon attend the 2014 Provost's Pre-College Summer Scholarship for Military High School Students at the University of Southern California.
Possessing traits of a strong leader, Cooper has enthusiastically participated in school programs like the Student to Student program by Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) by which he helps a transfer student feel welcome. Last year, he attended to the Frances Hesselbein Student Leadership Program established by MCEC. This one-week training program is offered at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.
"When I attended the program, I got into numerous discussions with the cadets there," Cooper said. "I listened to many speeches from leading individuals in major roles of leadership--including Ms.Hesselbein herself. While I was there I felt a lot of patriotism, because I was at the United States Military Academy. My parents were very proud of me."
Understandably deeply excited, Cooper is ready to participate in an upcoming opportunity that will add to his personal growth and development, the USC pre-college program. The DHS student said that he chose this program to gain the proper inside view on what a college life is.
"I think, seeing what college is going to be like and preparing for it, is more than just trying to be all cool and say you go to USC," he said. "The program will help me learn the proper techniques on how to be successful in college, how to have good study habits, and how to make better decisions."
What makes him always passionate is his dream to be an engineer.
"USC has very strong math and science departments and I asked to be in the Discover Engineering course for the program. In that class, I can try to decide which specific type of engineer I want to be. Basically, it is all about a foundation of engineering and what you need to know in order to expand upon your knowledge of engineering."
Like many determined students, he is filled with a lot of high expectations of himself, as he knows exactly the way he should go.
"I set a lot of personal goals. The reason I've been applying for these scholarships, events, and experiences is because I feel that as I gain experiences from different colleges -- both West Point and USC, I will be able to meet very important people and I will be able to make life-long relationships with other students who want to study the same field as mine." said Cooper.
On a side note, School Counselor Pamela E. Webb-Martin encourages students to check their DoDEA student e-mail accounts regularly.
"By checking their student e-mails, students can read about testing opportunities, scholarships for all grade levels, and much more - to include attending Pre-College Programs," she said.

Chemical threat is back. Hizballah, Israel close to clash
September 8, 2012
The first US-Turkish backed steps for creating safe havens in Syria and possible strategic bombardment of the Syrian army have brought the Middle East close to two dangerous junctures: The Syrian army's use of chemical weapons, and an outbreak of hostilities between Hizballah and Israel, DEBKAfile's military sources report. The creeping Western involvement in the Syrian conflict was not previously acknowledged and the Lebanese Shiite Hizballah rarely figured publicly as a fighting prop of the Assad regime.
That is until the dam burst Friday and Saturday, Sept 7-8.
The United States then admitted that US officials and intelligence agents were training and aiding Syrian rebels from positions on the Turkish border – and therefore directly intervening in their operations.
This admission came on the heels of the DEBKAfile disclosure of Sept. 6 that Turkish officers backed by US agents had taken command of two Syrian rebel brigades.
Britain and France came next to report they were sending aid directly to the Syrian opposition, a more cautious admission than the American reference to officials and agents, but clearly on the same track, which adds up to their direct intervention in Syria for the creation of safe havens.
French and British foreign ministers attending a European Union meeting in Cyprus called Friday night for sanctions against Hizballah, meaning that mounting Western pressure on Assad has been extended to his Lebanese ally.
But the big event thus portended is still to come.
The Rest…HERE

It's been a while now that we, the English teachers of the Lycée Molière, have felt like sharing with you what your children do. We hope you'll feel as moved and pleased as we do.
In fact, we thought you would enjoy seeing or listening to what your children are able to do after preparing for hours, days or weeks.
So welcome to our multicoloured rainbow of works such as radio broadcasts or TV shows, theatre extracts or improvisations, sketches, poems on video, articles or narratives.
Last but not least, we've also decided to provide our students with an open space called "Have your say" in which they will be able to react to any recent news or special events.
The creation of this page was made possible thanks to the enthusiasm and energy of the English team, our (great ☺)students, invaluable technical and creative backup and our Principal's unwavering support.
The English team:
Mrs Chambert, Mrs Malassagne & Mrs Sandré
