Trauma sufferers tend to feel a range of emotions, from depression, guilt, and shame, to helplessness, shock, and denial.
Marne, Michigan (PRWEB) June 24, 2016
Those who have experienced traumatic events may suffer from a complex set of emotions. To deal with these feelings, many turn to unhealthy avenues, such as drug or alcohol abuse, as a coping mechanism. To avoid this pain and suffering, Serenity Recovery Center of Marne, Michigan, has released tools for healthy coping following a traumatic event.
Trauma sufferers tend to feel a range of emotions, from depression, guilt, and shame, to helplessness, shock, and denial. Dealing with these feelings can seem overwhelming, and can lead individuals to believe that there is no hope to regain a happy, healthy life. Thus, many turn to drugs or alcohol to relieve these intense emotions. To combat this trend, the professionals at Serenity Recovery Center have issued helpful coping tools to prevent substance abuse in trauma sufferers.
As a leading substance abuse treatment facility, Serenity Recovery has seen this form of self-medication lead to addiction. According to the facility, "[t]his, however, can only lead to additional pain and suffering for the affected individual and his or her family." They released these helpful tips in an effort to prevent substance abuse after the experience of trauma.
Though it may take time to recover after going through a traumatic event, there is hope for the future. With this guide, trauma sufferers will get the tools they need to begin their journey to recovery. By following these helpful tips, such as reaching out to other trauma survivors, these individuals can avoid use of unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Studies suggest that up to 75% of individuals who have experienced a violent trauma develop some form of addiction. With the right tools and resources, trauma sufferers can prevent substance abuse issues and cope with the troubling event in a healthy manner.
The experts at Serenity Recovery have seen many patients successfully overcome addiction after experiencing trauma. With these guidelines, however, trauma sufferers can learn to cope with their complex emotions without ever turning to drugs or alcohol. For more information, please visit the Serenity Recovery website, or call them at 1-855- 218-3775.

Picture: Cindy Crawford, her husband Rande Gerber and their children Presley Walker and Kaia Jordan arrive at LAX International airport Los Angeles, California- 21.12.12
Iconic beauty Cindy Crawford has opened up about her failed marriage to Richard Gere in a candid new Tv interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The model admits that, at 22, she was too young for marriage - and she was developing into a woman her husband no longer recognised.
In the upcoming Oprah's Master Class expose, Crawford says. "At 22, as a young woman, I was kind of still figuring out who I was and what I wanted to be... and he (Gere) was already 37.
"In some ways he knew I was still growing and changing; I didn't wanna hear it from him, because, at 22, you think you know everything and you think you're already formed.
"It's hard to change in a relationship because what one person might have signed up for and then all of a sudden you're not that anymore (sic)."
The couple was married for four years before splitting in 1995. They two stars have since remarried - Gere wed actress Carey Lowell in 2002 and Crawford's husband is entrepreneur and club owner Rande Gerber.

The first car to carry the simple alpha-numeric naming convention which has since been introduced to much of the Korean company's range, it heralded the start of a particularly successful period for the Seoul-based firm which shows little sign of abating.
Designed in Russelsheim, Germany, with the European market specifically in mind, and built in the Czech Republic, the i30 exemplifies Hyundai's core values of well-equipped yet competitively priced motors with good economy.
An estate was a logical addition to the initial i30 hatchback and both versions are now into their second generation, having undergone significant design tweaks and other enhancements.
The new look gives the updated Tourer a sportier appearance, with a steeply raked windscreen, prominent rising shoulder line and muscular wheel arches creating a dynamic profile.
Standard LED daytime running lights are another addition, helping to create a distinctive front end.
Power comes from a choice of two engines, either a 118bhp petrol unit or the 1.6 litre CRDi diesel with a power output of 109 or 126bhp. Both can be coupled to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
The higher-powered diesel power pack in my test car proved very durable in all driving conditions, although the manual gearbox was a little notchy.
Acceleration off the mark was not terrific but some impressive mid-range torque ensured that, once on the move, there was plenty of oomph for overtaking while motorway cruising was comfortable and quiet.
In fact, all round refinement was good and, from the inside, there were no tell-tale noises or rattles giving away the fact that you were driving an oil-burner.
My car also had the benefit of Hyundai's Blue Drive technology which utilises an automatic start/stop function, low-rolling resistance tyres and an alternator management system to keep fuel consumption and emissions down.
Thus, even the higher-powered diesel engine delivers a very healthy 64.2 miles per gallon on average with carbon emissions pegged back to 115g/km, offering the kind of savings in tax and running costs that make the i30 Tourer an attractive proposition for private and business users.
Indeed, this workmanlike estate also offers plenty of practical comfort and space with ample head and legroom for five adults, an abundance of useful storage in the cabin and a boot that is impressively roomy and functional – a capacity of 528 litres more than capable of coping with family needs.
There are also some useful concealed storage areas beneath the boot floor as well as a couple above the wheel arches in the rear wings and a luggage net.
The deep tailgate opens to bumper level meaning there's no annoying lip to navigate when loading and unloading.
The Style Nav trim on my car sits just below the range-topping Premium spec and offers very generous kit levels for the £21,395 asking price.
A touchscreen satnav system, reversing camera with parking guidance, 16-inch alloys, dual-zone climate control, electric heated and folding wing mirrors, stereo with aux-in, music player and iPod connections, two power points in the front, six airbags, stability control and halogen headlights with follow-me-home function are all included.
All of which helps to make sure that the latest i30 Tourer certainly lives up to Hyundai's value for money mantra.
Fast Facts
* Price: £21,395
* Mechanical: 126bhp, 1.582cc diesel engine driving front wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission
* Max Speed: 120mph 0-62mph: 11.2 seconds
* Combined mpg: 64.2
* Insurance Group: 13
* CO2 emissions: 115g/km

A time for giving and giving back
The holidays are here, although, as soon as Halloween was over, I started seeing Christmas cards and gift lists. I'm deep into creating holiday lists for myself and others; I know that sounds bad but my birthday is this coming Saturday and it's a big one. How big? Well, I'll have to change my about me because I'll no longer be in my 20s! But we'll get to that in an upcoming post. I'm also on the hunt for how I can give back this year, and hopefully on a more permanent basis. So, in the spirit of Giving Tuesday, here is a list I have compiled of ways to give back this holiday season, and throughout the year. [Note: This is by no means an exhaustive list.]
If you like animals:
- Adopt a pet (ONLY do this if you truly can care for and keep the animal)
- Volunteer at a shelter
- Help an elderly neighbor (or any neighbor) walk/care for her pet
If you like working with kids:
- Volunteer as a tutor
- Sign up to be a mentor
- Share a talent/skill by teaching free or heavily discounted classes for youth at a community center or other space in your area (dance, basketball, sewing, acting, etc.), or maybe there is already a class that you can assist with
If you want to work with your hands:
- Make cards for hospital patients
- Volunteer at a soup kitchen or doing meal prep and/or meal delivery for groups that bring meals to the sick or homebound
- Reach out to your local parks organization about opportunities (many have programs where you can help plant, weed, paint benches, etc.)
Everyday small gestures:
- Hold the door open
- Help someone who's lost find her way
- Leave notes around that offer words of encouragement or kindness to whoever finds them (i.e. "There is no one like you," "You're beautiful," "Have a great day!")
Above all, get creative and find something that will be meaningful to you. If you enjoy what you're doing, you'll be more likely to stick with it and you'll have a greater impact on those you're helping.
How do you give back?

Thank you, Mary Wells and Charlotte Beers for paving the way for a new generation of powerful business women lighting the path with insights like these.
1. "Curiosity and creativity are never far apart. You need to be curious to identify problems worth solving, and then come up with new solutions… It's too easy to say 'no' all the time. It's too easy to be cautious. Pushing the boundaries of creativity means saying 'yes,' taking risks, trying new things, learning, and being surprised."
Lorraine Twohill, Google
2. "Don't be intimidated by what you don't know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do thinks differently from everyone else."
Sarah Blakely, Spanx
3. "Marketing's job is never done. It's about perpetual motion. We must continue to innovate every day."
Beth Comstock, GE
4. "I learned always to assume positive intent. Whatever anybody says or does, assume positive intent."
Indra Nooyi, Pepsi
5. "If you create a purpose, make sure you deliver on that purpose. It is the filter through which you make every decision."
Anne Finucane, Bank of America
6. "Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you're proud to live."
Anne Sweeney, formerly at Disney
7. "I have a theory that burnout is about resentment. And you beat it by knowing what it is you're giving up that makes you resentful."
Marissa Mayer, Yahoo
8. "What I always say is, Do every job you're in like you're going to do it for the rest of your life and demonstrate that ownership of it."
Mary Barra, GM
9. "Growth and comfort do not coexist."
Virginia Rometty, IBM
10. "Embrace diversity of thought and people. Embrace light. Shine it to spot the flaws in an idea or innovation before your competition does that for you."
Ellen Kullman, DuPont
11. "Things happen to you. You have to make sure you happen to things."
Ursula Burns, Xerox
12. "If you have the choice between being bored and being engaged, that's an easy pick. We work really hard to make sure we take the right risks and try new things because they almost always pay off—and that makes it so much more fun for people to engage."
Dana Anderson, Mondelez International
13. "How you manage change can make all the difference."
Irene Rosenfeld, Modelez International
14. "If it doesn't scare you, you're probably not dreaming big enough."
Tory Burch
15. "Choose to do less fretting & more doing, less wanting and more having."
Jessica Herrin, Stella & Dot
16. "A woman with a voice, is a by definition, a strong woman."
Melinda Gates, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
17. "It's less about what you sacrifice and more about what you prioritize. The best advice I got early on: Only make your family a priority."
Angie Hicks, Angie's List
18. "Not that I would have listened, but I wish I'd known that it was okay to make mistakes earlier in my career. I went on to make some real doozies, but I wish that rather than being embarrassed, which I was, I appreciated it was all part of learning and developing on the job."
Irene Chang Britt, Campbell Soup Company
19. "When you're at work as long as we are, you need to be inspired by the people you're with as much as the work itself."
Kristen Lemkau, JP Morgan Chase
20. It's not about what I like or what one of my colleagues likes. It's about what the customer wants, where she is and how she wants to communicate.
Martine Reardon, Macy's CMO
21. If people really want to move up the career ladder, I say take risks. Take the toughest, most difficult job or project someone can give you because that's how you move ahead. You take the toughest, thorniest thing, and you pull it off, and that helps you get recognized and get promoted.
Stephanie Linnartz, Marriott
22. "Be brave. The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake."
Meg Whitman, HP

DIY Mantel/
When we moved into our house last October, I knew I had to install a mantel on our fireplace in time to decorate it for the holidays. I built a simple box mantel from wood boards and share how to build and install it below. Unfortunately our chimney inspector informed us it was too close to the wood burning stove. I kept it up for the holidays, but sadly removed last January. I annoying reinstalled it above the vents a few weeks back. Then I decked it out for the holidays!
Keep reading to see how to install your own box mantel.
- 2 - 1"x6" board
- 1 - 1"x4" board
- 2"x2" molding
- drill
- sanding block
- brad nailer
- pre stain and stain (I used Mission Oak)
- 3/8" masonry drill bit
- lag shield and lag bolt
- level
My father-in-law, handyman mentor helped me out with the plans.
Step 1: Cut the two 1"x6" and 1"x4" boards to desired length. And cut two pieces of the 1"x6" board to close off the ends as pictured here.
Step 2: use the brad nailer and 2" nails to secure the box together. Sand, pre-stain and stain.
Step 3: Mark the placement of the dowel that will be fixed to the chimney, "cleat." Use a level and chalk to mark in the mortar where the holes will be drilled. With the placement of the stones I was able to make four holes.
Step 4: drill into the marks. Tip: tape the drill bit equal to the length of the lag shield, so you know when to stop drilling. Insert lag shield into the holes.
Step 5: mark the cleat where the holes are located.
Step 6: Drill holes into the wood where marked.
Step 7: insert the lag screws through hole in cleat and into lag shield and tighten.
Step 8: slide mantel box onto the cleat and use the brad nailer to secure.
Now decorate!

How to Position the Crib for Good Feng Shui in Your Baby's Room
Laura Cerrano
A client from Northport, New York hired me to Feng Shui their home and in particular, asked me to assess the energy of their baby's bedroom. They observed, since she's been sleeping inside her crib, each night she crys.
After reviewing the baby's furniture arrangement from a Feng Shui perspective, it became very obvious why their daughter was reacting negatively to the layout of the room.
The diagram above illustrates the original baby's bedroom layout
Two main problems to be aware of
1. Avoid placing the baby's crib along a bathroom wall. In Western Feng Shui this is called, "sha" energy, or "drain" energy. Bathroom pipes act like geopathic stress points inside the home. Symptoms felt, could be a person feeling tired, sick, or emotionally unstable. In my client's case, their baby cries all the time when sleeping in her crib at night.
2. Arrange the crib in a "commanding position." This allows the baby to feel protected and supported energetically and psychologically. The ideal set up is to position the crib between two corners within the bedroom. The corners become the metaphor of parents cradling their baby at night when sleeping. When choosing a corner, be sure to select one that is NOT IN ALIGNMENT with the bedroom doorway.
The diagram above illustrates the suggested Feng Shui solutions
My clients moved the crib away from the bathroom wall and repositioned it to be in a commanding position so their daughter could feel more supported at night when sleeping.
The results?!?

@totalminer111, make sure they're in your Documents/My Games/Total Miner/Maps directory. An easy mistake to make is to put them in the game directory. Also make sure you change the number on the folder to one that isn't already being used, if you need to.

May 13, 2014 in Productivity (E)
[prMac.com] Hoboken, New Jersey - Knag Enterprises today is proud to announce the release of News with Spritz - Speed Reader 1.0 for iOS. This app is a fully functional web browser with the brand new, highly anticipated, Spritz technology.
The time consuming part of reading lies mainly in the actual eye movements from word to word and sentence to sentence. In addition, traditional reading simply takes up a lot of physical space. Spritz solves both of these problems. First, your eyes do not have to move from word to word or around the page that you're reading. In fact, there's no longer a page - with Spritz you only need 13 total characters to show all of your content. Fast streaming of text is easier and more comfortable for the reader, especially when reading areas become smaller. Spritz's patent-pending technology can also be integrated into photos, maps, videos, and websites for more effective communication.
News with Spritz - Speed Reader is the very first app that uses the official Spritz technology. Its main purpose is to help users speed through all internet text media. The app enables uses to absorb information in the most efficient way possible, given the size constraints on an iOS device. With all of the app's capabilities, many iOS users will likely decide to switch over their web browser to News with Spritz - Speed Reader.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
Pricing and Availability:
News with Spritz - Speed Reader 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

It seemed silly not to go and explore the park for their engagement shoot, and they showed me some parts I hadn't seen before such as the beautiful lake hidden away in the trees! Jade even showed me that she is seemingly immune to stinging nettles. Something every bachelor puts on his wishlist! Another first for a client of mine!

We are me&you
- Chasing Trails -
With two backpacks, one guitar, and a month's supply of whiskey and chocolate, brother and sister Connor and Karlee found themselves living in a camper van in the backcountry of New Zealand in November 2016, reunited at last after spending six months apart on opposite ends of the world. Welcomed to the island by a 7.8 earthquake and its relentless aftershocks, Connor and Karlee began a month long road trip navigating New Zealand's unforgiving landscapes and hoping to find new inspiration and stories to tell. After years of splitting the state while attending different universities and performing as "Connor & Karlee" at every local coffee shop and dusty dive bar in their hometown, Sacramento, CA, the pair desperately needed to disconnect from the pressures of reality, immerse themselves in nothing but the wilderness, and rediscover their need for songwriting. With a road map and coffee cup in hand each morning, Connor and Karlee found the ultimate freedom and adventure they were looking for. Along the way, the siblings discovered a newfound motivation for music and an untapped wheelhouse of lyric and song in every national park, night sky, and trail they encountered. Little did Connor and Karlee know, they planted the seeds for their folk inspired project "me&you".
The two slugged it out in the hawaiian-print camper van, day by day with a few too little showers, a whole lot of canned soup, and journals at the ready, only to find themselves pointing their lyrical compasses home toward Sacramento, CA and the Sierra Nevadas, the genesis of "me&you". Just 22 months apart in age, the two were both surrounded by music from the moment they were brought home from the hospital. As early as 2 years old, Connor would sit with his father at the family's silver sparkle drum kit, hand in hand, mimicking his motions. Karlee soon followed suit a few years later on the upright piano in the living room. By the time the two had started middle school, they each learned to play the drums, piano, guitar, and bass guitar, performing at their school's talent shows and cafeteria dances. The two began regularly performing in town as "Connor & Karlee" and landed gigs opening for Jon Foreman and Tyrone Wells in high school.
Their childhood memories however, are heavily based in the Sierra Nevada mountains, the family's summer travel destination. There, the two grew up in the great outdoors, riding bikes to the river, catching crawdads in the creek, hiking through the forest, and swimming in alpine lakes and luckily, music was never too far off. They grew up listening to Glen Campbell, Jim Croce, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Carly Simon, and Kenny Rankin while driving through the Sierra Valley and running through the fields just off their cabin porch. The siblings thank their father for the gift of associating music to a memory and intend to write songs that fulfill the same purpose for their listeners.
Music quickly became a mechanism for the pair to interpret the world around them and all that it had to offer and take. Karlee wrote her first song in fifth grade after her classmate passed away, losing her fight with a brain tumor. "At 10 years old, you can't quite process death, it's unimaginable, but I remember playing guitar in my room and this song just poured out of me. At an early age, my brother and I learned how fragile life is, to enjoy every minute of it, and spend time doing what you love with who you love." Fast forward years later and the two released their self-titled, pop debut album, graduated high school, began living 385 miles apart, wrote halfway decent pop songs together over Skype, tried and sort of failed at touring, hoping their next move would present itself, quickly, before they suffered another year of identity crisis. It wasn't until Karlee had the opportunity to study abroad for six months in New Zealand that the band decided to put "Connor & Karlee" on the back burner and make songwriting the main priority in mid 2016. The duo would spend the next six months sending lyrics and melodies across the Pacific to each other in preparation for their campervan writing retreat at the end of the year. Finally, something clicked when they actually pulled off the trip of their dreams. "It's been a long process trying to figure out our sound and I think that we finally started finding a place for our voices while traveling in New Zealand, we started writing songs that we didn't know were already a part of us. A lot of it stemmed from our connection to nature and the people we'd met along the way," says Connor.
But it wasn't always easy. They experienced a quarterlife crisis of sorts, as one does parked in the solitude of a forest in a foreign country, doubting their talent and capabilities. Amid sips of whiskey, isolation, and uncertainty, however, it became clear that they were the only ones in the way of their potential. Karlee explains, "This trip taught us to get out of our own heads, eliminate the pressures, and follow the trail that's been laid out for us. Being so removed from the music industry and the excitement of performing was refreshing, frustrating, and absolutely necessary, it made me realize that's exactly what I should be doing."
With a catalog of songs that finally felt personal and something to be proud of, the duo continued to write into the new year developing their rhythmic folk pop performance. The pair felt they'd finally grown out of "Connor & Karlee", playing their last show under the name with American Idol's Kris Allen before they'd left for New Zealand, reaching a new chapter of their career in which they'd coin "me&you". Creating a wall of sound with Karlee's bass melodies on the keyboard and Connor's folk-esque kick drum, hi hat, guitar, and harmonica combination, the duo opened for Crystal Bowersox and Robert Ellis in April of 2017. In the same month, their New Zealand track, "Georgia", was hand selected for a Cross Genre feedback panel at ASCAP with Eric Bazilian and Robert Hyman of The Hooters ("Time After Time", "One of Us"). In the summer of 2017, Connor and Karlee retraced their roots this summer to a log cabin in the same mountain town they'd visit as kids to produce their exciting new indie folk sound, they felt right at home. There, the two crafted the demos of their latest EP, "Chasing Trails".
Flash forward a few months, the siblings garnered the attention of Australian producer, Ben Tolliday in Los Angeles, CA. It was a perfect match (he'd even lived in New Zealand for some time before, he understood what the duo had experienced). Not to mention, Tolliday produces me&you's favorite band, Lord Huron. With the stars aligning and a plan in place to begin production with Tolliday in December 2017, the siblings called upon the generous support of their fans this past fall season, successfully launching a me&you Kickstarter Campaign to fund their collaboration Tolliday at Whispering Pines Studio in Los Angeles, CA. After months of late nights in the studio, "Chasing Trails" was finally finished (two years in the making). The 5 song EP features an all star cast of musicians including Matt Mayhall (Aimee Mann, drums), Anna Butters (Phoebe Bridgers, bass), Aaron Embry (Willie Nelson, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros, keys), and Brett Farkas (Lord Huron, guitar) in support the siblings' inseparable harmony and storytelling.
"We understand this new chapter of music as a reminder to always remember where we come from. It's important to us that our audience feels like they're on the same and equal playing field as us, because even though we're on stage, we're just two kids with a dream, we're still just me&you," explains Karlee. The siblings aren't looking for fame, they're looking for a connection. "We hope our music acts as a reminder that all we have is "me&you", if anything is going to change in the world, it has to be me and you that do it together," explains Connor.

Garlic Naan
Garlic Naan
Seriously this Naan is amazing! I'm all about making food from scratch because it tastes better, but I'm here to tell you, don't wast your time- this garlic naan is amazing! You can find it at Walmart in the bakery section and it's only a couple dollars for two flat breads.
Garlic Naan
2 pkgs. Stone-fire Tandoor Baked Naan, garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, mined
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
In a small bowl combine oil, cilantro, and garlic. Cook flat bread for a couple of minutes on each side or until warmed to your preference. Brush oil mixture on one side, cut and serve warm!
My local Walmart only sells garlic and it's amazing so if you have the option
between garlic and plain- get garlic!
In a small bowl add a couple tablespoons of olive oil, 2 garlic cloves minced, and
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro.
Cook each side of your flat bread for a couple minutes until warmed through.
Once you've turned the flat bread in the pan so the darker side is facing you.....
Brush on the oil mixture and salt very very lightly!
Cut and Serve warm!

In recent weeks, government officials in Okaloosa County in Florida's panhandle learned they owned a yacht, courtesy of the Tourist Development Council, and that some of the BP oil spill settlement money may have been spent on a $747,000 home belonging to the then-TDC director.
Although the invoices were available for scrutiny of the County Commission, as per its contract with the TDC, the commissioners did not provide enough oversight, according to published news reports.
In an editorial on May 18, the Northwest Florida Daily News in Fort Walton Beach said, officials thought they were signing off on advertising campaigns. As we read this opinion piece we were dumbfounded on lack of oversight. But, we asked ourselves, could it happen here?
We went to St. Johns County's TDC Executive Director Glenn Hastings. Could the TDC buy a boat? No, he said, not without a lot of scrutiny and even then, it is doubtful.
The TDC is a department of St. Johns County government charged with overseeing the 4 percent tax on overnight lodging. The money is split among tourism promotion and advertising, art and culture events/activities, leisure and recreation, and tourism administration and debt service. Guidelines are in place for each category of expense. The scrutiny of the money and the proposed spending plan starts with Hastings and then goes to the TDC, followed by budget recommendations to the County Administrator and then to the County Commission. The Clerk of the Courts provides oversight as the county's finance director. Then there are public hearings and reviews at workshops and commission meetings. In our view, it would be hard to hide an inappropriate expense.
We have learned that Hastings, who has been a leader in tourism development in Florida for many years, is among a small group of statewide tourism officials who have been asked to advise Okaloosa County and TDC officials and Greg Stewart, a Tallahassee attorney who is helping Okaloosa to tighten up its requirements.
For now, Stewart has put some measures into place as approved by the County Commission. They include Okaloosa's TDC being put under the county manager again with all proposed expenditures to be explained in detail and in writing. A tiered review of proposed expenditures requires certain administrators to sign off on expenses up to $50,000. The County Commission has to sign off on expenses above $50,000. That is just the beginning. Stewart says he is not finished yet. Likely after hearing from Hastings and other TDC directors in June, more changes will be made.
The Northwest Florida Daily News has wisely concluded that, "Having an obstacle course of county officials approve TDC expenditures won't do any good if the officials are as inattentive as they've been in the past."
But, the Daily News says, the initial new rules give reasons to hope county officials will ask tougher questions in the future.
It is their job to ensure bed-tax dollars are spent on tourism promotion, not yachts or additions to homes.

English Alphabet spoken by a male voice. American "Zee" included.
New Zealand?
He sounds like an Aussie to me.
Its exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
It does what it says on the tin... it's a spoken alphabet. The voice is not what i'd call ideal if you're thinking of using this for music or so on. Not really any dynamic quality to the voice. Might be suitable for a learning program or something.

It seems that some white men are feeling discouraged and threatened. The world they expected to enjoy has changed, in ways that seem unfortunate to them.
They feel buffeted by a rising tide of brown skin and non-Anglo accents. Their personal financial circumstances have deteriorated, and they are being encouraged to blame immigrants and minorities for causing that. The world seems dangerous, and partisans tell them to blame the U.S. government. As a result of distorted news coverage, many white men don't trust the government, don't trust entire categories of their fellow Americans, and don't trust a democratic political process. Many loathe having a black man in the White House.
It is unclear what they want. Perhaps a return to better days, such as the 1950s, when they were children and the nation was 80% white and largely segregated. Perhaps a white-power insurgency that would restore white privilege. Perhaps a Christian theocracy. Perhaps a race war to be waged with violence. Perhaps a military coup that they think would turn disorder into order.
Or maybe they just want to shout and be heard. Those feeling invisible want to be seen. The impotent want to be potent. It's hard to know. No coherent political agenda seems to be emerging, and those seeking Tea Party support seem more determined to stoke outrage and shouting than to do anything concrete.
American history has seen these impulses before. Fear is a constant in human life, and so are scoundrels who would exploit that fear for their own benefit. Those who are truly undermining society with their greed and conniving are goading the weak into looking elsewhere for scapegoats.
It is tragically rare for American leadership ranks to welcome men and women of honor, like those who founded the republic and those who saw the nation through a depression and world war. More often we get rascals and predators, bullies and buffoons.
We are in the midst of such a sorry display. How far it will go remains to be seen. Whether level heads prevail and whether those stirring the pot can walk mobs back from the edge of violence and intolerance remain to be seen. Once people have shouted the worst that is in their hearts, can they then relax and resume the neighborliness that has marked American life at its best? Once they have declared war on all forms of compromise and declared God absolutely on their side, is there any room in their hearts for getting along?
Politicians like Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz are exploiting the frustrated and weak. They are giving cover to extreme excesses of bigotry. They are undermining the rule of law. They are promising what they cannot deliver, even if elected, and setting people against each other in ways that cannot be patched up easily after Election Day.
It is difficult to imagine any electorate taking them seriously, and yet they seem to speak for many. Such is the impotence that the 1% have visited upon common citizens. Such is the difficulty of being a just and merciful nation in a world gone mad with intolerance, civil war, religious extremism and rage. Such is the face of weakness at a time when we need strength of character. Such is the outcome of the propagandizing of information.
It is time for these frustrated white men to get over what they think they have lost and to step up – "man up," as the saying goes – as good citizens who want the best for an entire nation, not just vengeance for themselves.

Wine Not Be Thankful? with Diane Gross
Diane Gross knows a thing or two about being thankful. After working on the Hill for years, she and her husband, Khalid Pitts, took a risk and followed their dream – turning their passion for good wine and great communities into a popular neighborhood wine bar in DC. Cork Wine Bar, and its sister, Cork Market, have won countless awards – including most recently being listed as one of the best wine bars in the country. For this month's PowerChute, I sat down with Diane to learn more about how she has conquered turning her passion into a career, and what she's most thankful for this Thanksgiving season (in addition to good food and drink).

Anti-Stalking Laws in VAWA
Pushing Rope pal Ginger Lee wrote about how Republicans delaying passage of the Violence Against Women Act were endangering from that are being stalked.
Without VAWA, most states won't recognize a protective order from another state. As it currently stands, attempting to cross state lines safely, and doing so in a way that will allow a protective order to be used if something occurs outside of the jurisdiction of the original order, is a complicated process. The laws vary so greatly from state to state that what may "protect" a person in TN won't protect a person in SD unless an 'out of state' registration is applied for. When applying for an out of state recognition, there are states that will contact the person the protective order is against. For victims trying to "disappear" or get to a safe place outside of the state the order was written, complying with the laws correctly can put them in danger.Go and read her post.

Big Muddy National Fish & Wildlife Refuge
text by Steve Schnarr, photos by Melanie Cheney
(Note: The hardwood trees we planted were donated by Living Lands and Waters (www.livinglandsandwaters.org) and Forrest Keeling Nursery. The native bottomland shrubs were purchased at more than 50 percent discount from Missouri Wildflower Nursery. Refuge staff selected the site and species and mowed the area. Friends of Big Muddy and Missouri River Relief coordinated the event. 37 volunteers from Kansas City, Orrick, Columbia, Rocheport, Lupus & Boonville planted the trees)
We drove down the steep hill from the cabin, crossed the railroad tracks, and drove across the bottoms. A light frost, soon to melt, blanketed the grass and the table we had set up the day before.
Just as the gloves, t-shirts and coffee were laid out, the first volunteers started to arrive. The immediate task at hand was wrapping the trunks. 150 trees were wrapped by a growing army. Another group grabbed shovels and headed down into the lower terrace with refuge Asst. Manager Barbara Moran to plant shrubs: elderberry, rough-leaved dogwood, false indigo & buttonbush.
A trailer was loaded with wrapped trees and pulled through the planting, with a couple folks unloading five trees at a time into small clumps. The trees got laid out in a grid (for easy mowing…not natural aesthetics…) and pretty people split into pairs and were planting away.
Looking across the planting field, scattered with young oaks and backs bent putting them in the ground, the background was a dark line running five feet high throughout the woods edging the bottom. The line marks the height of this spring's flood, serving as a reminder that any messing around we do in these bottoms is subject to the whims of the river herself.
The morning was perfect down in the valley. The sugar maples along the bluffs were at peak color, brightening as the morning went on. It was quick work, and soon we realized…we're done.
37 folks took part, including some very small children who did everything from gathering empty pots and flags to patting down the soil around the young trees.
The effort was symbolic. Another new tract of land had just been added to the Big Muddy Refuge, and here was a bunch of river loving folks showing up early on a Saturday morning to help shape it. As the last pots and flags were gathered up, most of the folks went with refuge Asst. Manager Barbara Moran and Troy Gordon of Friends of Big Muddy for a walk down to the river, passing through the thick, new cottonwood forest, patches of older forest and past several scour hole ponds created in the 93 flood and continuing to harbor waterfowl throughout the winter season.
We met back at the beautiful blufftop cabin for lunch and a presentation on the refuge. Everyone still had energy and time to enjoy the beautiful fall day.Click here to check out the great Columbia Tribune article on the day!

Samsung Nexus 10 Pictures and Specs Leak Out Early
The next Nexus tablet is expected to be unveiled on Monday, but most of the details of this Samsung device have appeared on the Web already.
Update: The Google event in which this tablet was going to be announced has been postponed. More information is available in this article:
Google's Next Nexus 10 Tablet Won't be Unveiled Tomorrow After All
The Nexus 7 that launched this summer is made by Asus, but Google is reportedly turning to Samsung for the next one. This slate is expected to give shoppers a larger alternative, as it will have a 10.1-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen, rather than a 7-inch one. The resolution is going to be 2560 x 1600, giving it a pixel density of almost 300 ppi.
The Nexus 10 will supposedly run a version of Google's mobile operating system that that has yet to be released: Android 4.2. One of the major new features will be support for multiple user accounts, allowing several people to easily share one tablet.
Inside this slate will be a 1.7GHz dual-core Exynos 5250 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage capacity. There may be versions with more storage.
Other features on the leaked spec list are a 5MP main camera plus a front-facing one too, front-facing speakers, and NFC.
Google has scheduled an Android-related event for Oct. 29. The Nexus 10 is expected to be the star of the show, along with improved versions of the Nexus 7 and the LG Nexus 4.

When I suggest to my fishing friends that they join us in Mexico in May, I invariably get some version of the following response: "Isn't that like going to Alaska in January?"
No. Not at all.
First off, in Alaska, a place that I love dearly, you can't wear flip flops in January, at least not if you value your toes. Second, you won't get much daylight there. In fact, it's pretty much about as dark as the inside of a cow's butt for 20-plus hours a day. They may have margaritas, but they don't have bass, so no, the comparison doesn't hold up.
With that out of the way, then you have to make the case for why someone SHOULD go to El Salto in the warmer months. The fishing is good just about everywhere at that time of year. It's my favorite time to fish the Potomac, and whether you live at Kentucky Lake, the California Delta, or someplace up north where it's just thawing out, it's probably pretty good too. But it's better at El Salto. Unless your name is Keith Combs or Dean Rojas or Ish Monroe, you're probably going to catch the biggest limit of your life.
El Salto will be at its lowest point of the year and monster schools will be ganged up out deep on structure that even the textbook writers couldn't have dreamed up. For those of us who rarely fish more than 10 feet deep – and no more than 5 if I can help it – it's an opportunity to head out with swimbaits and 10XDs and other deep water freak baits and put in a day's work. Sometimes you have to hunt them, but other times you can tie up to a single tree and catch bass after bass after bass, just like the stories that Larry Nixon tells about the old days at Toledo Bend – except the old days are now.
The next question is always about the heat, to which I reply that it's simply not that bad. It typically breaks 90, but you're wearing shorts and catching fish and your guide will hand you as many cold Pacificos, waters or Gatorades as you want. Moreover, the wind starts to blow every day at 11am and doesn't settle down until dark. It helps the fishing and increases your comfort level.
That's why I've gone to El Salto every May/June since 2013, and why I hope to do so until I'm stuck in an old age home or get run over by a garbage truck.
If you'd like to join us, email my wife Hanna at firstname.lastname@example.com. I don't guarantee you a 10 pounder, but I guarantee you a shot at one, along with the best overall bass fishing trip you can ever hope to experience.

KAILUA, Hawaii — While President Barack Obama's standing in Washington has dropped a notch or two in the year since he and his family last spent their holiday vacation in this beach community, the thrill is definitely not gone for many Kailuans about him coming back.
"I'm very excited," said Virginia Carnohan, owner of The Cottage gift shop about 2½ miles from the trio of multimillion dollar beachfront homes where the Obama family and friends will spend Christmas and New Year's.
"We have a local boy who's president and everybody's very proud of that," said Chuck Prentiss, chairman of the Kailua Neighborhood Board, a panel that advises Honolulu city officials on community concerns.
First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha arrived Saturday evening on Oahu — the island that contains the state's largest city, where Obama was born and mostly raised. But the president is not expected until after Congress adjourns, possibly on Wednesday.
Last year, delayed by deliberations on the health care reform bill, the family didn't get to Hawaii until Christmas Eve. This will be their third consecutive holiday visit to Kailua.
The Secret Service began alerting residents of spacious homes along Kailuana Place last week that checkpoints will soon go up. Hawaiian Telecom personnel were busily repairing telephone wiring outside one of the Obama homes, which sit midway down a cul-de-sac.
Once authorities throw up a cordon around the neighborhood, simple pleasures like walking the beach or canoeing in a canal near the three houses will become difficult — if not impossible.
The Democratic president is not expected to engage in fundraisers or other overtly political acts. Dante Carpenter, chairman of the Hawaii Democratic Party, said he's asked if Obama could be enticed into attending even a low-key event, but he hasn't heard back.
"I think he's been up to his eyeballs in horse manure and gun smoke, not necessarily in that order," Carpenter said. "He may be looking for time with his family and that's about it. I can't blame him."
During a pre-election interview with a Hawaii radio station, Obama said he loves a secluded beach at a nearby Marine Corps base and intends to "hit a couple of golf courses." His half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, and her family also live on Oahu.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie, a college friend of the president's father who knew Obama as a child, said Hawaii is something of a salve for the nation's chief executive.
The Obamas "love it when they come here," the Democratic governor said Wednesday. "He genuinely understands that this is … an atmosphere where he's not being set upon. He knows he's home with people who love him and care for him and his family."
Joel Cavasso a real estate agent who is handling the rental of the houses where Obama and his group will stay, said the president's visit is still important to Kailuans.
"I remember when John F. Kennedy came here and I was sitting on my father's shoulders to get a glimpse of him," Cavasso said. "It's a big deal for people to see their president … Oops, I think I might have just aged myself."
Carnohan, the gift shop owner, said she's hoping Obama at least stops for a bite at a well-known restaurant across a small plaza from her business.
"He brings a lot of energy to Kailua," she said. "There's a buzz that translates into more curiosity-seekers and that translates into more foot traffic … It's kind of like my own little (economic) stimulus."
A Kailua business that has been a regular stop for Obama and his daughters the last three years is Island Snow, a beachwear store that is most famous for its shave ice — a version of what mainlanders know as snow cones.
"That was the first time I've ever met anyone that important in my life," said a still-beaming Cheyne Vincent, 20, an Island Snow supervisor who snagged a picture with the president at the shop last year.
Vincent is hoping that Obama again shows up with his two daughters, several friends, and the small army of Secret Service, local police and media that tied up the block for 90 minutes last year.
"He was really cool, really nice, really humble," Vincent added.
Associated Press writer Mark Niesse contributed to this report.

Say no to Subway.
The other story also has me shaking my head takes place in Dedham MA where a dozen people went to a restaurant and were denied service. They had a reservations and 6 of them had service dogs. The group was refused service because of the dogs, which is a clear violation of the American with Disabilities Act and MA law. They were not denied service because the dogs were not trained or acting right. They were denied service just because they had service dogs. I was 80 degrees out and it was even suggested to them that they leave the dogs in the car. WTH!!
The Dedham police (illegally!!!) sided with the restaurant owner. There are several violations here and it may carry a jail sentence. The police and restaurant owner were not within their rights to ask the people for their dog's paperwork. The dogs had every right to be there. They were accused of being confrontational .They were hungry!

According to Wikipedia, "Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered. The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May, was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service."

Waterfowl Hunting Video-Goose Season Goes Out With a Bang
In this waterfowl hunting video we met up with champion goose caller Mike Smothers and some of his buddies in South Central Illinois to end the regular goose season in Illinois. It was an amazing setup in a slew that had backed up into a field. The sheet water from the recent rains has 1000s of birds roosted on it. Ducks, Canada Geese, Specklebellies, and Snow Geese all were spending time on it. We had a great weekend and put down 22 geese in a day and a half. Here is a short teaser video from the hunt.

(The title of a soon-to-be released documentary film about the intersections of racism & heterosexism)
A majority of voters in Houston on November 3, 2015, by their rejection of Houston's equal rights ordinance, proved onceagain that on matters of equal justice for LGBTQ persons,"We are not there yet".
The most disturbing aspect of the campaign of those who opposed the ordinance was their use of the slogan, "No Menin Women's Bathrooms"
I do not believe that most men, upon reflection, would want a negative depiction of men (as expressed in the slogan) to justify the rejection of an equal rights ordinance. "Men ofHouston", I do not believe you deserve the fear-mongeringthat used your gender to defeat an equal rights ordinance!
An unrelated story about race that I believe is applicable to the above: When I, an African American boy, was "growing up"in North Carolina, I remember being in a store with my father.As my father was about to give the clerk money for his purchase, a white woman rushed up to the counter and saidto the clerk in a loud voice, "What do you mean servingn.....s before you serve white people?" My father steppedback and the clerk waited on the white woman. When sheleft, my father returned to the counter and paid for his purchase. He and I never talked about that moment in ourhistory.
The application of this story:
First, the woman, through her use of the "n-word", demonstrated that she believed that all black persons automatically were deserving of her negative description.
The use of "men in women's bathrooms" suggests that ALL men have a desire (a DNA?) that makes us want to invadewomen's bathrooms and create havoc. I am surprised themen of Houston allowed negative judgments of transgender persons to demean not only persons who are transgender, butmen as well.
Second, I remember how the event in that store years ago served to form my opinion of ALL white people. "They" (whites)used negative words to describe black persons; they wereresponsible for my family being unable to eat in some restaurants, ride in the front seats on busses, and only sit in the balcony to watch movies. They were also responsiblefor the second class conditions of the schools blacks attended,the houses we could buy, and the neighborhoods in which wecould live. And "they" (whites) put on robes, erected burningcrosses, presided at the lynching of black peoples, and burned black churches.
But in time I learned that not ALL white people engaged in nor supported racial segregation. If I had not met white personswho did not use the "n-word" nor engage in acts of racial violence, I would have thought that ALL white persons,particularly men, were "racial predators".
When will people who claim religious faith – and those who donot – CEASE fearing and faulting transgender persons byfalsely claiming that their equality and equal access opensthe door for "male sexual predators"?
It seems that there are some persons in Houston who need to, in response to LGBTQ persons, learn what I learned about white people long ago: Most of them are unlike the few whoengage in racist behavior. Denying equality to persons because of a fear of "Men in women's bathrooms" onreflection, will be viewed, at best, as being false fear, and at worst,a rejection of all that we claim to be as a nation and/or aspeople of faith.
We, of the, "From Selma to Stonewall - Are We There Yet?"film documentary project, believe that, upon its completion,release, and use, you and I will continue with greater vigorto travel the roads beyond Selma and Stonewall that leadus to equal justice for all.

The Beckman Scholars Program is a limited-submission, invitation-only program. Each year, the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation carefully reviews extensive information about institutions across the country and then identifies colleges and universities to receive Beckman Scholars Program application invitations. Invited institutions demonstrate a significant commitment to undergraduate research in chemistry, the biological sciences and/or interdisciplinary combinations thereof. They also show the capability to compete successfully on a national level for scientific research funds in peer-reviewed government and private foundation supported programs over previous years. Their faculties and their research facilities are judged to be of the quality necessary to support the caliber of undergraduate research program sought for Beckman Scholars. Members of the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation's Scientific Advisory Council participate in the selection of institutions that are invited.
We have not extended Beckman Scholars Program application invitations to every deserving institution that provides undergraduate research experiences for its students. The limited number of institutional awards we provide precludes us from doing this.
INSTITUTIONS: If you would like to supply information for consideration, we will use it to evaluate the institution's inclusion in our 2021 application invitation. Materials should be submitted via email to email@example.com. STUDENTS: The Beckman Scholars Program does not issue awards directly to individuals; it is an institutional award program. If you are an undergraduate student in the area of chemistry, biochemistry, biology, or other science discipline, contact your institution for more information.
Beckman Scholars Program Administrator
Invitations distributed for 2021 Program: February 2020
Deadline: June 15, 2020


text: With an unruly dog who does not mind and two cats, I can certainly use whole house hepa filters. Although it is hard for me to tell, when I leave my house and come back in, I can definitely smell the smoke and pets. I can only imagine how bad it smells to others and that is pretty embarrassing. A HEPA system would not only make my home smell nice but make the air healthier to breathe - two things I could use. Even if you do not have pets, do not smoke inside your home, or do not contend with odors, you should look into HEPA for your home or business just for the health concerns.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for international Scientific Research
Strong interaction at low energy was studied by measuring X-rays of kaonic hydrogen atoms. The experiment was set up at the 12 GeV proton synchrotron of KEK.The importance of this experiment has long been recognized, and there were 3 previous trialsin late 70's and early 80's. However, due to experimental difficulties and due also to the small flux of kaon beam, nobody has succeeded in the observation of the kaonic hydrogen X-rays.In order to overcome difficulties, due to the large background caused by beam particles, and also to the small X-ray yields, we developed novel methods to suppress the X-ray background, and to enhance the signal to noise ratio.Namely, background was suppressedby i) measuring the reaction vertex, and by selecting the events originating from the hydrogen target, and ii) by applying event tagging to select events with 2 charged pions in the final state. We also developed a novel X-ray detector system consisting of 60 Si (Li) crystals, operating in a low-temperature hydrogen gas. The use of gas target, instead of liquid, should help improve signal to background ratio.In the first year, we concentrated on the detector development and construction. The Japanese group worked mostly on the hydrogen target, beam counters, Si (Li) detectors, and on the infrastructure in general. The Canadian team worked on the development and construction of the cylindrical vertex chambers and water Cherenkov detectors, both of which were essential in reducing the background. The completed detectors were transported to KEK,and were assembled there.In 1994, we started to debug the system using the kaon beam, and by the end of 1994 we started to take data. Preliminary analysis exhibited that we have succeeded in observing the kaonic hydrogen X-rays, although we need to collect higher statistics in order to draw final conclusions.

3D-printing an overhang
When printing an object that has slanted surfaces without support material under it, chances are you have seen some pretty bad results with these overhangs. This usually happens when trying to 3D-Print overhangs exceeding an angle of about 30-40 degrees. The print will start to curl upwards and because the following layers are then also printed upwards, it will become an exponential problem.
Coolingfan Speed
"Cooling is your friend"
The speed of the cooling fan has the most influence over the bad overhangs. 3D-Prints that are not susceptible to warping require the fan speed to be set to 100%. By cooling down each layer before the next one is deposited on top of it, reduces the chance of the first layer to curl upwards.
In the above picture, you can see the difference between cooling at max (right) and without cooling (left). You can click on the picture for a better image.
Nozzle Temperature
The nozzle temperature is another important factor when it comes to preventing bad overhangs. The lower the nozzle temperature, the better. A lower nozzle temperature means that the liquid plastic is closer to its solid state meaning a shorter solidifying period is needed. This, however, is quite tricky because you cannot lower the nozzle temperature too much because it will lead to under extrusion because of the plastic not liquefying fast enough. Learn more about: Under extrusion.
Left has been printed with PLA with a nozzle temperature of 220 oC and right with 205 oC. The difference is not great but every small tweak helps.
"Low nozzle temperature & high cooling fan speeds"
If you apply this rule of thumb to your 3D-Prints with large overhangs then you'll get the best results. If you have the opportunity, you could also make a flat crossing instead of an angular surface as shown in the picture below.
If you have any questions, contact our custumer service department.

After nearly a month in Leavenworth, I traded in my quiet, largely solitary life there for the chaos and noise of a large family in Spokane. On the way, I stopped at Dry Falls State Park, which I'd like to get back to someday when I have more time. The park is the site of Ice Age-era floods, which left behind a dramatic and beautiful landscape in the Grand Coulee.
In Spokane, I stayed with my friend Steve, his wife, Nikki, and their 4 full-time rambunctious kids for 4 days. Within 15 minutes of arriving I found myself on the back of a motorcycle for the first time in 25 years and it was non-stop catching up, day trips to Idaho, watching the first season of Fargo, visiting the local botanical gardens, and seeing Spokane after that. It's good to have friends who will do absolutely anything for you. I still don't think the brass knuckles were a necessary addition to my gear, but the camping hammock will get used at some point soon.

Katie & Jason were married at Mitton Hall which is one of my favourite wedding venues. Katie was getting ready in the morning in the Banqueting Suite while Jason was over the road at The Aspinall Arms having a few drinks with his groomsmen.
With the ceremony in the beautiful orangery, drinks reception on the front lawn of the Hall and some lovely portraits of the newly weds in the rear gardens it all made for some lovely photos of their happy day. While I carry on with the processing of the rest of their set of photos here is a brief sneak peek of their day.
Please check back soon to see the full set of photos of Katie & Jason's wedding.

Go Fooducate Yourself
By Miryam Ehrlich Williamson
Photo: flickr / The Classic Farmhouse
Here's a cool way to learn more about food and nutrition. It's Fooducate, a blog whose name says it all. Its purpose is to educate eaters about the food they take into their bodies. I'm impressed.
I haven't hung out on the site long enough – yet – to figure out how it's funded. When it comes to food information, I'm always looking for hidden agendas. Writing my book about insulin resistance, the precursor to Type 2 diabetes, taught me to do that. Even where the USDA is concerned.
Where Fooducate is concerned, though, so far so good. I especially like their list of synonyms for sugar, which is too horrifyingly long to reproduce here. I recommend that you go see for yourself.
Fooducate is inviting you to test its new food comparison tool. There's a search space at the top of the page. Enter a type of food (I tried mayonnaise) and you get a list of brands. Click on a brand and you see nutrition information, including the USDA nutrition facts label (you really should learn to read these labels — the information is great). And you get suggested substitutes for the food you've chosen — various kinds of mustard, in this case.
I'm probably not going to approve of all the alternatives Fooducate proposes. I notice that honey mustard is one recommended option, and since honey, sugar, and wheat flour are the second, third, and fourth ingredients I know that's not an option for me, since I don't eat sugar or starch. If you're insulin resistant, as I am, the fat in mayonnaise is less harmful than the sugars and starch in honey mustard. I've been pre-diabetic for more than 30 years, and I don't want to go there. But I'm willing to believe, if skeptically, that for most people dietary fat constitutes more of a health threat than sugar and starch.
Fooducate's information is well presented and of great interest to anyone who cares about what she eats or feeds her children. The site is worth a bookmark.

Hi Miryam,
As a foodie and father of three toddlers , I became distraught when I realized I haven't a clue what goes into my children's food and then their belly.
That was the impetus for Fooducate. We have absolutely no industry ties and are building on this service on our own dime.
As this is still an "alpha version" we welcome all feedback so that we can improve the recommendations.
Such an enjoyable read, and fantastic resource for the rest of us.
i have never been to your site before and found this when i did an online search for food info. i just loved the article and added the link to the food website to my fave places.
Thanks to Hemi for creating this resource and I think as it gets more comprehensive it will be a valuable tool for everyone who cares about what they and their familiy members are consuming daily.
I'm a regular here. I love this post.
Hey, this is actually fun to do. But it is incomplete. Can't wait to watch this grow. Keep up the great work, Hemi. All us dads appreciate it.
Interesting and informative. Will you write about this one more? Are there other sites that are similar? There are so many products out there. How does the site choose which products to post information on? Is it a wiki that readers can contribute to? I will look closer at it when I have more time but thanks for posting.
I do not see in it sense.
You are not right. I am assured. I can defend the position. Write to me in PM, we will communicate.
Excuse for that I interfere … At me a similar situation. Let's discuss. Write here or in PM.
I apologise, but it absolutely another. Who else, what can prompt?
It is simply magnificent idea

Academic journal article The International Journal of African Historical Studies
The Portuguese in West Africa, 1415-1670: A Documentary History
Article excerpt
The Portuguese in West Africa, 1415-1670: A Documentary History. By Malyn Newitt. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2010. Pp. xviii, 246. $90.00 cloth, 27.99 paper.
Given the great importance of the Portuguese as sources for the early history of West Africa, it has been a shame that it is impossible to provide students with good translations of the best primary sources. Malyn Newett has now attempted to do this, in a well produced and translated selection of original sources on the Portuguese sources in West and West Central Africa, including Morocco and the Angola coast. The only comparable work is John Blake's collection of sources published in 1942 by the Haklyut Society covering only 1450-1560, a more limited geographical range and with scholars as much as students in mind.1 Newitt's collection was originally intended as a companion volume to one he published on East Africa for Ashgate in 2002, a work that was priced sufficiently high as to discourage the student audience for whom it was produced. The Cambridge volume is much more economical.2 Newitt's collection is more valuable than Blake's because he selects sources that reveal African society as much as European activity, though Newitt does include sources on the Europeans as well.
Newitt provides a useful, up-to-date and accurate introduction to the collection as a whole, placing Portuguese expansion in the larger sweep of world and African history. Each document in turn receives its own introduction, providing context and explaining the selection. The maps are clear and provide sufficient if minimal orientation to the geography and principal place names. Newitt's themes include the Portuguese in Morocco, Portuguese expansion along the coast, the settlement of the Atlantic Islands, the early relations with Sierra Leone, the founding of Elmina and the Portuguese role in Benin, the early history of Portuguese relations with Kongo, and then the founding of Angola. …

A couple months ago I built a workbench for my garage. Since building it, I've had a section of it dedicated to my 3D printer with relevant tools hanging on the pegboard next to it. It's been great having a spot for the printer, but it's been a pain to change the filament because of how tall the workbench is and the filament is mounted on the back of the printer. After breaking my filament holder by accidentally dropping a 2x4 on it when the printer was turned sideways on the workbench, I decided to follow through with an idea for holding all of my filament above my printer. Having all my filament on a rod above the printer would make it so I could easily swap out different filaments without having to move the printer or shuffle rolls of filament around. Instead, I could just unload one filament, and load the end from a different roll.
What you'll need
I ran to Home Depot and grabbed the following. You can buy these online and pick up your entire order from the customer service desk at your local store or ship directly to your house:
You'll also need a drill with a 5/16" bit and 3/32" bit and a saw to cut the dowel to length. I used my miter saw, but just about any saw can get through a 3/4" wood dowel.
Load your 5/16" drill bit into your drill and make holes into the 2x4s holding up your workbench's shelf. I put my holes right before the 45 degree cut, but I could have gotten away with putting them a few inches in.
Once you have your holes, take your lag eye screws and start screwing them in. I used a short piece of my 3/4" dowel to help me twist it in. A thick screw driver or similar could also be used.
Next, cut your 3/4" dowel to length. I cut mine to about 28". Make sure you leave an inch or so on either side of the eye bolts for securing the wire lock pin and cotter pin. Use the 5/16" drill bit to drill a hole in the dowel about 1/2" in from one side. I used my drill press, but you can just use your drill.
Then use your 3/32" drill bit to drill a hole on the other end for your cotter pin.
Finally, thread the dowel through the eye holes and load up your filament! Secure the end with the wire lock pin so there's no risk of the dowel coming loose, but you can still easily get access to the filament.
All done! Now you don't need to worry about swapping out entire rolls of filament. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Cody Kessler named USC's starting quarterback
Steve Sarkisian allowed it to marinate. Last Thursday, he had a "feeling" on who his starting quarterback would be.
By Tuesday, he was ready to start cooking.
The first year USC head coach made it official following the 13th spring practice for USC Tuesday evening, announcing Cody Kessler as his starting quarterback.
"If we were starting a game Saturday, Cody would be our starting quarterback," Sarkisian said. "I think he's deserved it. I think he's earned it. I think he's performed well."
Kessler started all 14 games for USC last season while leading the team to 10 wins and earning Las Vegas Bowl MVP honors. This spring he battled redshirt freshman Max Browne and true freshman Jalen Greene for the right to reclaim his spot. It's the third quarterback competition in as many years for Kessler. He's won the last two.
Sarkisian said once he had a feeling on who he thought would win the job, he would sit on it. He allowed himself to do that over the weekend, watching Saturday's practice as if Kessler was the starter.
On Sunday, he watched every one of Kessler's and Max Browne's throws from the first 12 practices of spring.
It was confirmed, the job belonged to Kessler.
"I'm confident to say I know we can go out and win a lot of football games with Cody Kessler as our quarterback," Sarkisian said. "I'm proud of the preparation and the work that he's done to get himself to this point and I know there's plenty of room for him to grow in this system.
"He's extremely decisive. He knows where he's going with the football."
Sarkisian met with all three quarterbacks — Kessler, Browne and Greene — before the start of Tuesday's practice to break the news.
He was complimentary of his two backups, saying Browne is going to be a "star" and Greene would be a "great player."
Sarkisian says the announcement allows Kessler and the team to go into Saturday's spring game as well as summer players-only workouts knowing who the starting quarterback is, but he didn't exactly slam the door shut on the competition.
