Facilities that produce large amounts of global warming gases will, for the first time, be regulated under federal clean air laws.
On Wednesday, the Environmental Protection Agency said who will be affected by the new rules. That encased dozens of businesses in Oregon, from Oregon Health & Science University in Portland to Ash Grove's cement plant in Baker County, whose annual output of carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases exceeds the proposed threshold.
That means those facilities will be forced to better track their emissions, but more significantly, any new large source of greenhouse gases -- such as a new power plant, or a significant modification to an older facility -- would have to prove it was doing everything possible to limit the heat-trapping gases that most scientists agree are altering the Earth's climate.
"The businesses it will affect will be ones that are energy-intensive businesses, things that have big boilers. That's wood products, pulp and paper, cement plants -- just basic industry," said John Ledger, vice president of Associated Oregon Industries, a lobbying group.
The problem then becomes identifying what emission reductions will satisfy regulators.
"There will certainly be litigation over that question," said Jeffrey Holmstead, former EPA assistant administrator for air issues and an attorney at a Washington, D.C., firm that represents many industries affected by the proposed rule.
In essence, the EPA is proposing to treat six greenhouse gases the same way it does traditional air pollutants, like lead, under the Clean Air Act.
"That's really important, and it's a huge change from the previous administration," said Janette Brimmer, an attorney with the environmental law firm Earthjustice.
But the notion drew fire Wednesday from some industry groups.
"Today's proposal highlights the perils of forcing greenhouse gas regulations into the Clean Air Act," Charles Drevna, president of the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association, said in a statement.
That landmark environmental law applies to facilities that annually emit 250 tons of certain pollutants. But literally millions of places, from schools to farms, release that much carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas. So the EPA settled on a threshold for greenhouse gases of 25,000 tons per year.
"This is a common-sense rule that is carefully tailored to apply to only the largest sources -- those from sectors responsible for nearly 70 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions sources," EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said in a statement. Nationwide, about 14,000 existing facilities would be affected, and 400 new or upgraded sources would require annual review, the EPA estimates.
In Oregon, that threshold captures at least 33 facilities, according to the state Department of Environmental Quality.
That includes the state's largest single source: the Boardman coal-fired power plant owned by Portland General Electric. PGE officials said in a statement Wednesday they are evaluating the proposed rule.
But it also includes places like Legacy Meridian Park Hospital and Oregon State University.
OSU's facilities released 34,000 tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere last year, said Brandon Trelstad, the university's sustainability coordinator. Most of that came from the school's central steam plant, which was recently replaced.
But the new plant -- which now also generates electricity for campus use, reducing the need to buy power from elsewhere -- likely still puts out more than 25,000 tons of gases a year.
Trelstad said he hopes EPA will consider the school's improvements in energy efficiency and on-site energy production when enforcing the rules.
The rulemaking follows a 2007 Supreme Court ruling that greenhouse gases can be regulated as a pollutant by EPA. In April, the agency announced it had determined that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health or welfare, a so-called endangerment finding. And the new proposal coincides with an ongoing EPA plan to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from cars and light trucks.
Also Wednesday, senators introduced a bill that would limit greenhouse gas emissions through a nationwide cap-and-trade system.
"I think it's pretty interesting that this is being released today," said Uri Papish, air programs manager for Oregon DEQ.
"These regulations could be a driver," Papish said. "It's a message that the administration is serious about regulation of greenhouse gases."

Online Elementary School for Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grade
As a parent, you know that those first, foundational years of school are critical to helping your student achieve academic success as he or she moves through life. Learning to read and mastering basic math and science concepts early helps to create enthusiasm for lifelong learning.
At OHDELA's online elementary school, we've put together kindergarten to grade 2 curriculums that not only prepare students academically, but also help to set them up for lifelong success by teaching responsibility, self-motivation, technology skills and organizational skills.
Learning for Success with OHDELA in Ohio
What do OHDELA students learn in each grade? Everything they would in a traditional school. Like all schools in Ohio, OHDELA is required to meet statewide education and curriculum standards. OHDELA elementary school students get a quality, online, distance learning elementary school education.
From kindergarten through second grade, OHDELA students receive instruction in the following subjects:
English and Language Arts
Social Studies
Health and Physical Education
Art and Music
Parent Involvement at OHDELA
Online, virtual schooling at OHDELA is different from traditional schooling in many ways, and the need for high levels of parental involvement is one of them.
Parents of kindergarteners, first graders and second graders are, in a very real sense their student's at home learning coaches, keeping close track of the student's progress to ensure the student stays on track. Parents help students know what to do next in the courses, too.
During the live classes, parents help students to login, move to new classes and answer questions. On non-instructional days, OHDELA is structured to encourage parents to take their children on educational field trips. Parents also remain in close communication with the teacher, serving as part of a team to educate their student.

Pieters' late Ryder Cup claim is Made in Denmark
Thomas Pieters strengthened his case for a Ryder Cup place by finishing with a flourish to win the Made in Denmark by one shot on Sunday.
Darren Clarke names his three captain's picks on Thursday and Pieters sent another message to the European skipper at Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort.
The Belgian birdied the last three holes to sign for a six-under 65, finishing the week on 17 under to claim a third European Tour title on a day which included a delay of over four hours due to rain and the threat of lightning.
Huge. The winning putt for @Thomas_Pieters? https://t.co/tBmm3xIVj7-- The European Tour (@EuropeanTour) August 28, 2016
Pieters equalled the course record with a sublime opening round of 62 on Thursday and responded to a disappointing 71 a day later to stay in the hunt.
The towering 24-year-old rose to the occasion under pressure on the final day, making seven birdies and dropping just one shot to win by a solitary shot from Bradley Dredge.
"I really needed a good finish," said Pieters. "I saw I was one back walking to the green on 16 and I hit a great shot there but I knew I needed to make at least one more. To finish with two more birdies was pretty cool.
"It's all about winning tournaments. I'm really happy with this one. That was one of my goals, to just have one every year, just so you know you're improving and you can win. That's very important. I'm very, very happy."
Dredge held a one-shot advantage at the end of his third round, but the Welshman paid the price for a double-bogey at the second and needed a long birdie putt at the last to take second place on his own.
He might not have won, but that is some way to claim second on his own from Bradley Dredge. https://t.co/reWRMWmzYG-- The European Tour (@EuropeanTour) August 28, 2016
A gain on the 11th put Dredge back in the lead at 15 under, but he was unable to get the job done and finished just a shot ahead of Adrian Otaegui and David Lipsky.
Martin Kaymer, another contender for a Ryder Cup spot, finished in a tie for sixth on 11 under, with Soren Kjeldsen a further shot back.

What is an Energy Performance Certificate?
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) or EPC Certificates are required whenever a property (commercial or domestic) is built, sold or rented. It indicates how energy efficient a building is and what impact the building's energy use has on the environment.
They contain information about a property's energy use and average costs, using a rating system from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) similar to those used on kitchen white goods. Energy Performance Certificate regulations state that it is a legal requirement to supply them to potential buyers or tenants before actively marketing your property, or signing a tenancy agreement.
The EPC also contains recommendations on reducing energy consumption, energy costs and CO2 emissions, and improving energy efficiency. The EPC Certificates are valid for 10 years.
For those wishing to take advantage of the money being provided by the government for the generation of energy through the Feed In Tariff (FIT's – electrical generation from renewable sources) or the Renewable Heat Incentive RHI's (Heat generated from renewable sources) an EPC for the building will be required.
What Type of EPC Certificate do I need?
Domestic properties
There are two types of EPC required depending on the status of the dwelling. New homes require that a full Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) EPC is carried out by an 'On Construction Domestic Energy Assessor' (OCDEA) , whilst an existing dwelling needs a Reduced Data SAP (RdSAP) EPC performed by an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA).
Predicted Energy Assessments (PEAs)
PEAs are required for domestic properties that are incomplete (during construction) and are being marketed whilst off plan. (BRUKL document for Part L compliance.
Non – Domestic Properties
If the building is not self-contained; does not have a dedicated entrance which allows exclusive use of a private bathroom and kitchen area, it will require a non-domestic assessment to be carried out.
How to get an Energy Performance Certificate
For Domestic Properties
So, how do I get an energy performance certificate UK? Our accredited Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs) will collect information on your property and produce an energy efficiency rating using an SAP computer programme and produce an EPC. The kind of information they will require includes:
- Building Type / Age
- Number of Floors / Rooms
- Type / Size of rooms
- Corridors Height / Width
- Type / Size of Window
- Type / Size of Fireplace
- Roof Insulation
- Heating and Water Systems
Our DEAs can also help explain efficiency ratings and offer practical advice to improve your property's energy efficiency to help you reduce waste and lower your energy bills.
For Commercial Properties
Our Energy Assessors are also able to produce commercial energy performance certificates by following a more detailed process than the one outlined above. To gather all the information required they may need to do a site visit before they can produce an energy performance certificate commercial property report.
Why not call 0117 925 4340 and speak to one of our Energy Assessors to discuss EPC certificates and your requirements in more detail, with no obligation.
King Shaw Associates also provide a range of engineering services to ensure your commercial property is as energy efficient and as sustainable as possible. Our engineers can provide input on building services and design, environmental engineering and sustainability.

Q&A: FIFO's tougher than we thought. What to do?
By psychologist Angie Willcocks
Hi, I'm sure you've been asked this before but we're struggling and need some help. My partner and I have been together for a while now and during this time we have had a long-distance relationship and worked shift work, so thought we'd be well equipped to deal with FIFO. We're both been through massive career changes, with him now working FIFO and me working 9-5. We both don't much like our jobs. I'm living away from my support network and I know no-one here. I've tried making friends and joined the gym, yoga and go to the markets but it doesn't seem to be working with the last friendship attempt turning out to be a pyramid selling scheme! When my partner is back we have two weekends together but they are split between his family and friends. He works very hard on the house while I'm at work (despite me telling him to relax) and has no energy at the weekends for us to do anything. He doesn't like his job, but financially feels he needs to be there. He's no longer doing his fitness, fishing or cooking because he doesn't have energy - and admits his feeling a bit depressed. I've suggested counselling but he's reluctant. We have nothing to speak about on the phone because our jobs are quite boring and I have no-one to socialise with. I'm feeling quite lost at the moment, we both feel like we've lost our zest for life, and I don't know how to fix it. We were going to start a family, but now I just don't think it's the right time – it feels like things are going down the gurgler a bit. If you could offer any advice at all, that would be great.
Sorry things have been so tough for you and your partner recently. FIFO can certainly take a while to get used to ... but it sounds like there is a bit more to it than just getting used to FIFO here. You raise a number of issues and I will try to address each one.
Firstly, you mention that you've both been through some "massive" career changes lately. Big life changes, whether they are 'positive' or not, are challenging to face and can bring up some complex emotions (like grief for the loss of the 'old life'). This is coupled with the fact that neither of you really likes your new job, so it's no wonder that you're both feeling a bit flat. Obviously I don't know the details of your career change, or current dissatisfaction at work, but it might be worthwhile considering some career counselling or life coaching about this issue.
FIFO will continue to be tough for anyone who feels stuck because of financial commitments. That's harsh but true. Can your partner try to shift his thinking about this to see that he is making a choice, even if that 'choice' is to work FIFO for a period of time to pay off some debts? It might seem like a small point, but a change in this thinking process can help FIFO workers feel more in control of their lives.
FIFO also seems to be trickier when the 'home' partner lives away from their usual support network. It sounds like you've done a great job trying to make new friends and connections – keep it up! If it's practical, it's worthwhile considering moving closer to your support network if your partner is going to remain working FIFO for the long term.
Arguing about how time is spent when the FIFO worker is home is one of the main issues I discuss with couples. Have a look at my previous column on sharing precious time for help with this one. I hope you'll find some useful information there.
With regards to you two not having much to talk about when he's away, my advice is to create something new to talk about. Being bored at work is a good excuse to not talk about work, and an opportunity to find other things to discuss. What shared interests do you have? Do you like the same books, movies, TV shows or games? Some couples I know read the same book, watch the same movie or play the same computer game so they have something to discuss when they're apart. Other couples start a joint 'project' like making a veggie garden or renovating a house so they can do it together when the FIFO worker is home, and talk about it when he's not. This might all sound a bit forced, and it might feel it initially as well, but these are the sorts of things that couples committed to making FIFO work for them find useful.
Finally, on the matter of your partner's mood; it does sound as though he might be experiencing depression at the moment. One of the classic symptoms of depression is losing interest in previously enjoyed activities, like fishing and the gym in your partner's case. Depression also brings a real sense of "can't be bothered" and not having enough energy. It's important that your partner sees a GP to rule out any physical causes of this low energy, and to have a chat about his mood. He could also visit the Beyond Blue website (www.beyondblue.org.au) for more info on depression and where to get help.
I hope all of this helps.

Legal wrangles of family matters can not only be expensive and protracted, they can take an emotional toll on the parties involved.
SMC's Family Services aim to resolve your home-front issues without further damage to your relationships.
SMC's Family Mediation Scheme helps family members to lay down their domestic arms amicably. It is a faster and cheaper option than taking each other to court.
Many complex issues can be mediated, including the division of family assets, spousal maintenance, custody of children (including international child abduction cases), and wills and probates.
This Scheme seeks to:
Under this Scheme, SMC will appoint experienced mediators with family law expertise from our Family Panel. At least one full day will be set aside to help feuding parties arrive at a place that placates both sides, settle their differences and, where possible, salvage ties.
SMC is a service provider for family cases ordered by the courts to attend private mediation. This direction is in partnership with the Family Justice Courts, and effective from 1 October 2016.
For more information on court-ordered mediation, follow the link to the FJC Practice Directions here.
Collaborative Family Practice (CFP) is an interest-based approach to untangling matrimonial discord. It takes place before the start of any court proceedings.
With the support of the Family Justice Courts of Singapore and The Law Society of Singapore, the CFP service aims to help couples reach an agreement which both sides can live with, preventing bitter lawsuits.
Specially trained CFP lawyers and other family specialists such as financial advisers and child experts, work with the parties to negotiate an agreement that suits the family.
A unique feature of this process is that CFP lawyers cannot represent their clients in future litigation if settlement is not reached. This gives a greater incentive for feuding parties and lawyers to settle all their disputes.
Unlike matrimonial legal battles, CFP is a much less stressful and less hostile process. It allows parties to be civil towards each other, which is very important if they have children. The process is confidential.
Members of SMC's Panel of CFP Lawyers are practising family lawyers. Many are also accredited SMC mediators with specialist training.
Parties pay an hourly rate of $428 (includes GST) when SMC refers a CFP lawyer and/or another professional to you. Note that a deposit is collected once the lawyers and/or other professionals are appointed.
Begin CFP
If you think CFP is a suitable service, fill up the Application Form, and fax it to us at +65 6333 5085.
Or email it to email@example.com.
For more information on the service, call SMC at +65 6332 4366 or email us at the same email.

Darrell Dominic features Dre Murray on this song to speak on the issue of people leaving the Christian faith. The topic hits home for many believers as most, if not all have experienced a loved one leaving the faith for a multitude of reasons.

Book & Author Details:
Inarticulate by Eden Summers
Publication date: September 2nd 2016
Genres: Contemporary, Romance
He's silent––but his touch speaks louder than words.
At first sight, Savannah is drawn to the harsh appeal of a man who refuses to talk to her. Keenan's hard stare is arrogant and unapologetic. The quirk of his sensuous lips is cocky and in control.
But there's more. There's something deeper he's trying to hide behind those steely grey eyes––a slight hint of vulnerability which captures her intrigue.
She'd been warned, told that his silence hides a myriad of lies capable of affecting her career and relationships with loved ones. Only she can't help herself. Testing Keenan's defenses is an addiction she can't deny.
Falling in lust is easy. Learning his secrets comes with a price. The cost? Her broken heart.
For a lead character, I didn't find Savannah to be particularly likeable. And neither is Keenan. They are both quite arrogant and self absorbed. And yet somehow, this story still worked for me. The connection between the two was tangible, and the underlying issue of family ties was explored in a very subtle way.
The letters were a clever touch and softened Keenan a little bit, and made me root for him somewhat.
This well written story was heartbreaking and gorgeous all at the same time.
I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Eden Summers is a true blue Aussie, living in regional New South Wales with her two energetic young boys and a quick witted husband.
In late 2010, Eden's romance obsession could no longer be sated by reading alone, so she decided to give voice to the sexy men and sassy women in her mind.
Eden can't resist alpha dominance, dark features and sarcasm in her fictional heroes and loves a strong heroine who knows when to bite her tongue but also serves retribution with a feminine smile on her face.

The entire customer journey, whether in sales or customer service, must be as seamless as possible and working with feedback from your customers is the best place to start.
'Feedback'- in music, it is what you get if you are playing guitar in front of the amplifier with the volume turned up – pure noise – but in business, feedback is designed to remove noise and isolate clear messages about your company.
This year, 59% of companies polled by the International Customer Management Institute stated that their number one priority is to improve customer experience (CX). The different tools and means of obtaining feedback provide different levels of information.
A digital in-branch device can allow the customer to select options such as 'great service' or 'most disappointed' but this information is limited – it gives no insights into your customer or your company or even the exact incident or experience that led to the specific rating.
Since CX is about the quality of an interaction or a series of interactions, it is not simply a case of improving efficiencies and productivity to reach operational or service level targets. Rather, it is about ensuring that the engagement with each contact, for whatever reason, is conducted well, and to the level of expectation as determined by the customer. Well-trained, skilled and readily available staff also play a pivotal role in dictating service levels and customer satisfaction – a consideration that should never be ignored.
There are many touch points in interactions between customers and companies, so a better solution is to have a feedback tool that is linked to the customer journey across as many channels as necessary – voice, email, social media, chat and online.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for February 2013.
How did I do this week?
Friday (30% vegan)
Dinner: lentils curry with coconut milk and naan bread
Sunday (30% vegan)
Breakfast: soy yoghurt with muesli (without honey)
Monday (20% vegan)
Breakfast: soy yoghurt with muesli (contains honey)
Tuesday (45% vegan)
Breakfast: soy yoghurt with muesli (contains honey)
Dinner: Indonesian stir fry with rocket salad and sesame seed. Additional vegetarian bits (contain egg protein) with peanut sauce and cassava crackers
Wednesday (30% vegan
Breakfast: soy yoghurt with muesli (without honey)
Thursday (30% vegan)
Breakfast: soy yoghurt with muesli (without honey)
Result: 26% vegan this week.
Which means I did worse than in week 1. My biggest issues are using cheese and cream in dinners. Not to mention lunch at work which has only cheese or sugary bread toppings to offer for vegetarians.
Dresses at the International Flamenco Fashion Show. Part of the Salón
Internacional de la Moda Flamenca (SIMOF) that is held this year for the 19th time in Sevilla, Spain.
These flamenco dresses are not dance costumes, but robes that are worn during celebrations (Feria) in Andalucia. The fashion show features haute couture clothes made by designers. They would be worn by Spanish celebrities and high society ladies. For prêt-à-porter versions, look for "trajes de flamenca" on the internet.
February 1st was the beginning of the Vegan Challenge in the Netherlands. The Dutch Organisation for Veganism and Viva las Vega's dare anyone to participate and eat and live naturally for one month.
I was vegan for three years between 2007 and 2010. But I turned back to being a full-time vegetarian because finding food alternatives when eating out with others cost me too much energy.
I do still enjoy the things I learned during this time and support the ideal of a balanced consumer pattern. So I decided to monitor my vegan/vegetarian footprint during the Vegan Challenge month.
This is how I did the first week:
Friday (35% vegan)
Breakfast: soy yoghurt and muesli (honey free)
Dinner: used soy yoghurt instead of cream in the sweet bread recipe for desert
Saturday (70% vegan)
Breakfast: soy yoghurt and muesli (honey free)
Shopping: visited vegetarian shoe shop Vega-Life in Amsterdam and bought a new pair from Vegetarian Shoes
Dinner: in the Amsterdam Library with a vegan friend, fries with tomato ketchup and a salad without animal products
Desert: ginger flavoured dark chocolate
Sunday (60% vegan)
Breakfast: soy yoghurt and muesli (honey free)
Dinner: Indian tomato curry with rice, papadums and mango chutney
Monday (55% vegan)
Breakfast: soy yoghurt and muesli (honey free)
Shopping: soy yoghurt was sold out in the supermarket (by people in the Challenge?) so I eat real yoghurt for the rest of the week. Bought "blue mice" (a sugar and aniseed sprinkle Dutch people put on bread) because the blue and white version was promoted to be free of animal food colouring by the Vegan Challenge. Bought organic, vegetarian cheese.
Dinner: vegetables, baked potatoes with a Tuscan vegetarian with dairy
Tuesday (20% vegan)
Dinner: salad, vegetables and Corn fritters (with egg)
Wednesday (10% vegan)
Shopping: bought washing detergent and softener and maple syrup at the organic supermarket (good for the planet!)
Dinner: pizza with cheese
Thursday (10% vegan)
Desert: made a fruit juice from the Nike Training Center recipe I earned doing my work-outs
Result: 37% vegan this week!

It just seemed so unfair to group men folk all together on account of one fella not knowing how to fix a vacuum cleaner. But I have to tell you how strange that was 'cause that was a head-scratcher there. I don't know what sorta raising he got not knowing how to fix a simple machine as that. In other words, a man should enroll in vacuum repair school or something of the sort. I'm starting to wonder if he knows how to use a can opener. I mean, really!
It's not that I think all men are mechanically inclined. I can spot a man who don't like getting his hands dirty and that's real fine if he has money to pay to get what's broken fixed. I mean, who wants to hear, "Wait 'til I get my money right," when the car's sitting on bricks in the driveway? Those are some very unsexy words, fellas. Take those words to your grave, okay?
Now men folk, based on experience, I know women can be unreasonable. We don't tell you we're still mad from last year but to be fair, y'all do some real dumb stuff over and over and we get real tired of telling you the same thing. Y'all know good and well you don't need to keep telling us not to overspend 'cause that's kinda hard once the adrenaline gets going and we see other women folk with more shopping bags than us. We have to look like we've got it going on to some extent, okay? Long as you're paying the mortgage, you'll get over it.
One last thing, men folk. You don't have to make heaps of money. It sure would be nice but all of you don't come packaged that way. Women fully understand that.
Men folk, it's not that you have to have the best job but have A job. If you ain't getting ample pay, ain't nothing wrong with filling out an application for a second source of income. Take it to your woman, she'll fill the thing out for you even. That's what I call a supportive woman, okay?

TonyBet Review & Free Bet
TonyBet was established back in 2009 by a businessman named Antanas Guoga, or Tony G. Despite being bought by a Swedish company named Betsson in 2016, their product is international and they regularly have players logging in from all over the globe.
The company has grown exponentially since it was first created and has even started opening more and more high street shops in the process. They are regulated by all of the main European licensing bodies such as UK and Estonia and even became the controversial yet proud sponsors of the national Lithuanian mens basketball team.
Website – Layout & Interface:
TonyBet has gone for quite a unique approach to their sports betting site and it's definitely working for them. They have selected an interesting colour scheme which is made up of black and orange headers on a predominately white background which is definitely one of the more attractive colour schemes we have seen.
Their logo is displayed in the top left corner as you would normally expect to see and customers will find the tool to create an account or login at the very top centre of the page. Below is a horizontal menu that customers can use to navigate through their sports book, live casino, poker, casino and live betting sections.
On the left hand side of the homepage is a tab to view live scores as well as statistics for games and matches; below is a quick links tab which has been designed in a way that it updates each day depending on the competitions or big matches that are being played. They have also anchored their live betting tab here and below is their complete list of sports which they cover at TonyBet.
Your bet slip can be found in the usual spot, on the right hand side of the page and it updates as you progressively add more and more bets to it whilst even working out your potential winnings in the process.
For a company that hasn't been around all that long, TonyBet have brought quite an impressive sports book to the table and their markets definitely reflect that. Customers will have exclusive access to sports such as Basketball, Football, Tennis, Ice Hockey, Baseball, Volleyball, Formula 1, Handball, American Football, Aussie Rules, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Snooker, Cycling, Politics, Entertainment, Specials, Darts, Ski Jumping, Bandy, Cricket, Martial Arts, Boxing, eSports and Golf.
After deciding which sport you are looking for, you will then be presented with a list of different countries and competitions that TonyBet cover. For football, TonyBet cover all the leagues ranging from the Japanese J2-League all the way through to the Turkish Superliga and everything in between. Their markets aren't half bad either and customers can expect to be able to bet on Handicaps, Team Totals, 1st Halftime, Odd/Even Goals, 2-3 Way, Double Chance and a few others.
Welcome Bonus Code & Promotions:
As far as welcome bonuses go, TonyBet have one of the better ones and customers can relish to the fact that they are entitled to a 100% matched deposit bonus on amounts up to £200.
If you are looking to make the most of this welcome bonus then by depositing £200 you will be given an extra £200 by TonyBet giving you a total of £400 to play around with.
Outside of the sign up promotion, there are weekly sport "menus" that are updated regularly and provide great offers depending on which sports are upcoming and are covered by TonyBet.
Another cracking offer from TonyBet is their Victory deal that allows customers to deposit £10 or more and wager it at least 6 times inside 14 days, you will have the chance to take up to 100% of your current sportsbook bonus up to £50.
TonyBet has plenty of other customer offers and promotions available outside of the sports section, so if you think you might want to dabble in other areas, we definitely suggest you check out their promotions tab and you could end up earning a lot of money in the process.
In-Play Betting:
If you are a fan of betting on live sport then TonyBet certainly have your interests covered. There are plenty of ways to access their in-play section and they even have their own in-house in-play console for you to get your hands on.
Once you have headed over to their live betting section you will be presented with a list of all the sports they offer in-play betting options for, so if you are a fan of Basketball, Football, Tennis, Ice Hockey, Baseball, Volleyball, Handball and eSports then you are most certainly in the right place. They don't have the largest array of markets to bet on but customers will be able to bet on Totals, Correct Score, Odd/Even and others.
Mobile & Tablet:
As you'd hope TonyBet do have a downloadable sports betting application for both IOS and Android users. IOS users can head over to the Apple app store to download the application and Android users will be able to download this feature directly from TonyBets website. If you would prefer not to then it's not a problem, as TonyBet have customised their website to be fully optimised from your portable device and is a good way to save your phones storage.
Payment Methods:
Customers can add and withdraw funds from their TonyBet account in a few different ways, which is a pleasant thing to see. Whether you prefer to use cards like Visa and MasterCard or e-wallets like Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, PayPal, PaySera, ecoPayz, S€PA all of these are widely accepted.
Withdrawing your winnings is incredibly simple and if you are withdrawing via e-wallet the funds can be available in your account within 24 hours, card transactions take anywhere from 3-5 business days.
Customer Support:
If you happen to require help or support at TonyBet, there are a few ways to go about it. Firstly you can use their detailed FAQ section which lists a number of different, structured questions and potential answers. Secondly is to get in touch via their email or telephone number, both are listed on the website.
There isn't a live chat feature yet at TonyBet but it's definitely something we expect them to add at a later date as it's becoming something we are taking more and more for granted these days but it really is a big relief to know help is just a click away should you need it.
We are really impressed by how far TonyBet have come along in a relatively short space of time, their website is vibrant and packed to the brim of excellent welcome deals and offers as well as fantastic in-play betting options that customers can relish.
A couple of areas we would like to see improvement would be their available betting markets, the ones they already provide are good, nonetheless, but they could certainly look at adding more. The other thing would be a 24 hour a day live chat function to give their customers extra security and assurance.
Overall, TonyBet are certainly ticking all the right boxes at the moment and we definitely suggest you hit that sign up button below to make the most of their exclusive sign up offer and to start landing some serious cash.

Rome, 22 October 2013. Eni has been awarded the certificate for "First Class Public Merit' by Prefect Gabrielli in a ceremony that took place in the National Department of Civil Protection. The award was issued for Eni's role in managing the emergency situation following the earthquake in L'Aquila, and approved by the President of the Council of Ministers on the 11 October 2010.
Eni, a member of the National System for Civil Protection since 2008, regularly participates in the Operational Committee of the National Department of Civil Protection. The Company's Major Emergencies Unit aims to coordinate the work of all the Eni facilities that might be involved in an emergency incident.
During the earthquake in Abruzzo in April 2009, Eni supported the rescue organisation with such commitment and professionalism as to merit this award.
On 6 April 2009, Eni's Major Emergencies Unit was brought in by the National Department of Civil Protection to participate in the activities of the Operational Committee by setting up the Eni Emergency Room of Rome.
This made it possible, even in the early hours after the earthquake and despite some service stations in the city having suffered significant damage, to ensure the supply of fuel to emergency vehicles and to all the rescue and recovery operations that were gradually established.

Just when you thought Quaker Oats couldn't get any better, Quaker Steel
Cut Oats are out to prove otherwise. These 100% whole grain oats are steel cut, rather than rolled, offering a heartier texture, a rich and nutty taste, and 40 grams whole grains per serving. Try them topped with your favorite fruits, nuts, or a dab of honey for a distinctly delicious start to your day.
Product formulation and packing and promotion may change. For current information, refer to packaging on store shelves.
To make 1 serving:
8 cups water OR 4 cups water plus 4 cups skim milk
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 cups Quaker Steel Cut Oats, uncooked
Every oat starts out as a hulled and toasted whole grain called a groat. Steel cut oats are made from chopping each groat into tiny, sesame seed-sized pieces. When cooked, they have a deliciously nutty and rich texture.

A global conference on the future management of the web ended with attendees still divided over key internet issues.
The NETmundial meeting in Brazil called for a less US-centric internet. It steered clear of giving governments greater control over the web, something Russia and China wanted.
Russian President Vladimir Putin branded the Internet a "CIA project" earlier this week.
Cyber-security expert Jacob Appelbaum called for the end of mass surveillance by nations.
"There must be accountability and democratic nations must not get a free pass on it," said Appelbaum, who has drawn on the files of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden to illustrate some of the ways in which the NSA could allegedly tap into computers.
Appelbaum is a core member of the Tor project, a free software network designed to provide online anonymity.
Brasilian President Dilma Rouseff called the conference after revelations of US surveillance undermined trust in the internet.
Most attendees agreed that the internet should remain a self-regulated space which is free of government intervention.
The meeting's final statement welcomed the US government's recent announcement that it plans to turn over the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which manages the core functions of the web, to a "global multi-stakeholder community" once its contract with the US Commerce Department expires in 2015.
While the conference is unlikely to change how we use the net, it will influence future debate.

IceCubby Large Ice Storage Holder By Pratico Kitchen Review
✔ STORE LARGE ICE SPHERES OR CUBES - Holds up to 4 - 2.5 in ice spheres or 4 - 2.25 in ice cubes - works with ice made from popular brands of ice sphere molds and trays (like the Praticube Ice Tray)
✔ QUICK & EASY ACCESS TO ICE - No need to fumble around with ice cube trays and molds to get to your ice, just grab a sphere or cube from the Cubby when you want it
✔ PREVENT UNWANTED FREEZER ODORS - East to remove cover lid keeps unwanted odors and smells from being asorbed into your large ice spheres and cubes
✔ DISHWASHER SAFE & PRACTICAL SHAPE - IceCubby is easy to clean, maintains the sphere shape of ice, and fits most freezers at 10.0 x 3.8 x 3.5 inches in size
This is easy to clean and I like that we always have spare ice cubes in the freezer. Now, we never run out of ice cubes because we know that it's time to pop out and make new ice cubes when the IceCubby is empty.
You can purchase the Pratico Kitchen IceCubby Large Ice Storage HERE.

Winter isn't just coming; it's arrived over at William Reaves | Sarah Foltz Fine Art with the Texas-centric gallery's annual "Winter Show." The gallery's formidable stable of contemporary Texas regionalists has been busier than Santa's workshop this year with new pieces by Randy Bacon, Mary Baxter, David Caton and Margie Crisp (among others), but one of the most interesting displays is the faux food by Houstonian Henri Gadbois.
Gadbois is no stranger to art; the Lamar High School and University of Houston alum is known for his sublimely ethereal landscapes. Considered one of Houston's founders of Modernism, he made his mark on the local art scene in the 1950s and '60s along with David Adickes, Jack Boynton, Kermit Oliver and Dorothy Hood.
But when the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, needed a way to decorate the yuletide table over at Bayou Bend, the artist drew on his ceramics background and his career as a faux food artist was born. The curators at Reaves | Foltz certainly have a sense of humor — they've set up Gadbois' ceramics on a cloth-bedecked table in one of the smaller rooms — and more than a few visitors have tried to reach for a cookie or bon bon.
Museums are now clamoring for his pieces and, in 1995, Gadbois started the company Faux Foods to produce the 18th and 19th century-styled earthenware foods to satisfy the art world's demands. The gallery has set up a Christmas tree with bite-sized faux foods by Gadbois, pricing these affordable ornaments as unique gifts or tree decor. "A Faux-Food Affaire" is paired with small paintings of pastries and postcards by another local founder of Modernism, Richard Stout.
The main gallery space is devoted to the "Winter Show," with a majority of the works painted or sculpted this year. Margie Crisp, known for her deeply saturated miniature watercolors of birds, has experimented with a few new techniques including an icon-inspired hen and rooster with 24k gold leaf tempera and a monochromatic wall-hanging painted with acrylic drybrush in Maguey Liso.

Randy Bacon's panoramic Merkel denotes small-town life with warm nostalgia as a train passes through town against the bluest of skies, while David Caton has captured Big Bend from morning until dusk in a quintet of new works. And if we experience a few more snow days like we did earlier this month, we'll soon be pining for the lazy days of summer in Lee Jamison's Hilltop Icehouse.
Find a surprise or two in the back gallery space, with a rotation of works spanning three decades from Dallas collector John Stone. There's a fun, holiday-themed fairytale scene by Lu Ann Barrow titled Over the Hills & Through the Woods, a pair of thickly oiled snow scenes from Mildred Norris Compton dating back to 1935, an undated Carl Hoppe featuring Texas's ubiquitous bluebonnets, and a serene scene of women walking through the woods with parcels on their heads by the late Dallas artist W. Frederick Jarvis.
"Winter Show" and "A Faux-Food Affaire" run through January 13, 2018, at William Reaves | Sarah Foltz Fine Art, 2143 Westheimer, open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, 713-521-7500, reavesart.com, free.

When a new administration comes to Washington, top government regulators flock to the exits to find new jobs, but they seldom have to look very far.
A few parley their experience into corporate counsel jobs or trade up to a more rarefied law firm than the one they had left earlier.
More routinely, top-tier firms embrace departing regulators, especially those with experience in securities and foreign corrupt practices law.
Cybersecurity is the latest hot commodity, said Jeffrey A. Lowe, the partner practice group leader at the legal search firm Major, Lindsey & Africa.

|Piscataqua 1667
Revised 20 September 2018
On 13 November 1637 he married Rebecca Gibbons, the daughter of Ambrose Gibbons, and had eleven children. He married second to Sarah, the widow of Walter Abbott (my 8th great grandparents). In 1668 Henry was in court for beating his wife, Rebecca, and she was also fined for "beating her husband & breaking his head".
There is no known death date for Henry Sherborne, but on 7 December 1680 when he failed to appear in court his daughter Mary said "[m]y father Henry Sherborned died about the year '80 or '83. His death we was not sensible of". In 1671 he was in court with his new wife, Sarah, for "disorderly living and fighting". There are many lawsuits and fines in the court records for Henry Sherborne for fighting and lawsuits against his neighbors for numerous complaints.
In the New Hampshire Provincial Papers is a document which names Henry's son, Samuel, my 9th great grandfather, who was granted a parcel of land for "taking into custody & Christian keeping of the said Henry Sherburne's daughter Rebecca Sherburne (who is both dumb & wanting of understanding)". Samuel was with the military sent to Maine during King Philip's War in 1691. He was "killed by the heathen" at Casco Bay. His last child was born after his death.
Henry's daughter, and twin to Samuel, Elizabeth, married Tobias Lear, ancestor of the Tobias Lear (1762 – 1816) who was secretary to George Washington. Tobias Lear's third wife was a Dandridge, a relative of Martha Washington. He died in George Washington's house in Philadelphia.

The Old Fort is close to The Riverside Hotel Durban
EThekwini, more commonly known as Durban, is the capital city of the province of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, and has a host of incredible sites to explore and things to do. In addition to its commercial and cultural value, it is also a place with a rich history and heritage.
The Old Fort is one of these historical gems, and comprises gardens and a museum. It was named after the camp in which the British were besieged by the Boers in 1842, which they then occupied until 1897. Thereafter, it was neglected for some time, until Colonel Molyneux decided to take the initiative to revamp the building and its gardens. Today, these both remain as testimony to the fantastic job that he did and the import of the Old Fort in its time. For this reason, it was declared a National Monument and is now maintained by the Durban City Council, the Historical Monuments Commission and the Royal Durban Light Infantry Comrades Association.
The garden is peppered with memorials and other historical features and is brimming with beautiful trees and flowers, making them a delight to explore on foot. Helpful plaques along the way ensure that visitors learn about the Old Fort and its unique history.
What were once the old barracks rooms have now been renovated to serve as retirement accommodation for ex soldiers and their wives. The little chapel on site provides a historical trip with its many tablets and brasses to commemorate and recognise the likes of Dick King and John Ross.
On display is also a gun from the wreck of the Grosvenor, which sank on 4 August 1782, as well as a timber seat from the Southampton war ships. All of these mementoes provide important insight, and promise visitors to this country a nostalgic peek into the South Africa of yesteryear.

a recap of Zinn's views on the American Empire in cartoons. narrated by Viggo Mortensen
a recap of Zinn's views on the American Empire in cartoons. narrated by Viggo Mortensen
I could write something like
I'm eating barley mushroom soup. good
but I'm not on twitter
I've never understood Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark – the music is so upbeat and the lyrics such a downer. but hey, he wrote it, he knew what he was doing. I was delighted to find a cover of Dancing…that's a lot closer to how I imagine it to be, very melancholic, quietly desperate.
took me a while to find the cover and then VOX refuses to upload it. it figures. ———–>
here's another cover. from the 1970 Amchitka concert, one of few tapes that had remained undiscovered 'til recently. Joni Mitchell has never sounded better.
J.D. Salinger died this week at the age of 91. How many times have you read Catcher in the Rye? How did it impact your life?
y'all know how much I dislike the QotD, but today it serves a purpose
among the avalanche of JDS obits, memories, remembrances, etc. I'll say this: I read "Catcher… , didn't relate to it at all, found Holden annoying and whiny. the Glass family stories are interesting.
yet I got to tip my hat to JDS – when he ran out of things to say, he shut up.
may all of us be that smart
or horrifying. can't decide yet.
WARNING: Thyroid hormones, including SYNTHROID, either alone or with other therapeutic agents, should not be used for the treatment of obesity or for weight loss. In euthyroid patients, doses within the range of daily hormonal requirements are ineffective for weight reduction. Larger doses may produce serious or even life threatening manifestations of toxicity, particularly when given in association with sympathomimetic amines such as those used for their anorectic effects.
for real?
they actually have to warn doctors that this is a drug to treat a clinical condition and that it should not be given to fatties to get them to drop some weight already?
color me shocked.
even worse, in case a doctor is tempted to give it to a fattie anyways, the warning continues to say that the drug doesn't 'help' if your thyroid is normal anyway.
there is, by the way, a long list of WARNINGS regarding the use of the drug, including increased risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, gastrointestinal problems, reproductive and cognitive functions, stunted growth in the young, etc.
but hey, it can lead to weight loss, so hook me up already!
this really sucks. Howard is one of my heroes.
goodbye dude – I'm sure Studs Terket is chilling some brews already
never mind. watching the liveblog chez Jodi's

I do not know all the details of the Google book settlement, except that it is good for Google. it is outrageous that the Author's Guild took it upon themselves to negotiate with the big G in behalf of all US writers.
the deadline for writers to add their names to the petition for the US to be exempted from the settlement is on Monday January 25 2010.
a nice pool of data to jump in. with references!

here, via videogum are some of the rules for the drinking game. take a drink when each of the following happens:
more rules:
if Jay Leno shows up, finish your drink
if Barack Obama shows up, finish the bottle
if Jeff Zucker shows up, empty the nearest liquor store.
if Johnny Carson shows up you are way too drunk and oughta get to bed
and so, goodbye it is. goodbye until Conan rises again to lead the ginge revolution.
alongside RedScylla, of course
NOTE: from the department of We Havent' Been Punished Enough, in collaboration with the department of Rubbing Salt In The Wounds, come the news that Jay Leno, that lousy rat has been picked to host the White House Correspondents Dinner.
