By Tom Ehrich
LAWRENCE, KS – I met a pleasant woman in the laundry room at my hotel here at the epicenter of Jayhawk Nation.
She and her husband were visiting from Texas to care for their ailing daughter. While I folded and she unloaded, she told me about her daughter..
She asked if I was going to watch the presidential debate. I shook my head and said, "If I have to hear one more word from Donald Trump's mouth, I will scream." She nodded agreement and sighed.
So when the candidates squared off in what, I read later, was a lopsided contest between a woman who knew her stuff and an easily goaded bully who seemed deflated at being called out, I was writing an essay.
The essay was about sitting on a railroad bridge beside the Arkansas River in the delightful city of Hutchinson, KS, where, in case you didn't know it, the original masters of "The Wizard of Oz," "Gone with the Wind," and other cultural treasures are stored deep underground in old salt mines.
I listened to train whistles echoing across the prairie. I remembered lying on my bed as a boy and listening to the Monon Line beckoning me away from Indianapolis.
I wonder if Donald Trump has ever heard what Merle called "a lonesome whistle," and felt the power of a Santa Fe freight train surging across the prairie, and sensed the ambiguity of loving home and wanting to leave it, and met a stranger and didn't need to jump her or bully him, and gotten outside himself in a society filled with diverse ideas and people.
The more I observe Trump, the more I am reminded of Scott Peck's book "People of the Lie," about people whose empty eyes, soulless words, and cruel actions are frightening to behold. This campaign has gone on long enough that we have seen the sordidness of Trump's character. He has been reduced to playground taunts in debates, and demagogic mob-inciting in rallies. We know who he is, and the thought of him in the Oval Office is horrifying.
It isn't just his bad policies and rather startling stupidity. It's the mental illness of narcissism for which there is no cure. It's an entitled rich boy grabbing whatever he wants. It's a man driven by appetite. It's a deep-seated contempt for women, for people of color, for the weak and vulnerable – all felt from a self-assigned seat of power that cannot mask his own weakness and failures.
When this is all over and Trump retreats to whatever TV show awaits him, I hope he takes a break from his fawning crowds and tacky hotels, and goes on a road trip by himself in a rental Chevrolet. I hope he stays in normal hotels, eats the food most people eat, walks the streets of their cities and towns, and talks with mothers in laundry rooms. I hope he hears about ailing children, and neighbors who are struggling, and people of color getting shot, and women who fear for their safety every day.
I hope he will see what he doesn't understand about people and about America.
We are a decent people. Even the folks waving assault rifles probably come from decent stock. We have failed, and we have stood tall. We found the humbling grace of aging, of losing jobs, and getting by. We have doubted our worth, and then found a life-partner who doesn't need us to be perfect.
This nation is anything but a playground for the rich and would-be famous. Democracy is tough duty. Making a living is tough duty. Providing playtime and education for our children is tough duty. Going to work every day is tough duty. Growing wheat is tough duty, and so are making automobiles, writing ads, working retail, teaching in classrooms, selling insurance, watching your town die and your church die.
Americans do that tough duty. Day in and day out. To no special applause, for less reward than we deserve, but we do it, out of both necessity and self-respect. We sign contracts and honor them. We pay our bills. We pay our taxes. We serve when called to serve. We give when asked to give.
We listen to train whistles, and to worried parents, and to the cries of the oppressed. At our best, Americans are generous, hard-working, unexceptional people who take life seriously. At our worst, we sound like a rich kid who thinks only of himself.

Let's get down to the Nitty-Gritty of what's in our foods
Here's part 2 in my series based on my journey, it's where the rubber met the road. There have been numerous twists and turns on this path, and I've enjoyed every moment of it because it lead me here to this amazing place. Along the way I learned some unsavory information while twisting and turning jars, cans, and bags to scour labels. I'm now emphatic about knowing what we're eating and how we're choosing to fuel our bodies. Long-term and short-term consequences to your health are easily preventable if you make the right decisions, and you can start right now.
Let's start with Partially Hydrogenated Oil (PHO) and trans fat. First a PHO is created during a process where normal fatty acids are altered by heating oil to an extremely high temperature and then injected with hydrogen molecules. So a seemingly healthy oil is converted to a harmful one. The result of this process is a dense product that becomes a solid at room temperature. PHO was developed in the early 1900's to replace butter or lard because it was cheaper to produce, had a longer shelf life, and improved the texture of foods - a throwback to the days of Crisco and that oh-so-flaky pie crust. Our bodies don't recognize PHO--in fact it's been likened to eating plastic. Trans fat, which you find mostly in the foods that contain PHO, is a fatty acid converted to the trans form. Here we're referring to the artificially derived trans fat.
There are foods where trans fat is naturally occurring: beef products, milk products, and vegetable oils.
Since a PHO is not processed naturally, our bodies don't recognize it as a real food, and you may find the outcome manifests itself in harmful ways leading to disease, discomfort, and other long-term health effects. Conversely, our bodies do recognize and assimilate real, whole foods like eggs, apples, broccoli, and kale all in their purest and raw state. If you're able to resource these close to home, even better.
PHO and trans-fat are found in processed, packaged, and convenience foods like snack cakes, granola bars, crackers, snack foods, and some peanut butters. Sometimes I'm shocked by the foods that contain partially hydrogenated oil, you may be too.
Be aware: even if the label claims 0 trans-fat in the Nutrition Facts, there may still be a small amount present. At the time of this writing the FDA does not require food manufacturers to list trans-fat under nutritional information if there is less than .5g per serving.
Luckily you can identify partially hydrogenated oil in the ingredients, so be sure to read your labels! Original Coffee-Mate™ is a perfect example. Many of their flavors contain partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils and many of the flavors indicate "No Trans Fat," but the proof is on the ingredient list. Also, pay attention to the recommended serving size, most people I know use more in their coffee. Thankfully there is now an alternative from Coffee-Mate, Natural Bliss, which only contains natural ingredients so try this or the real stuff like milk, or half and half.
In 2013 conversations of new legislation to remove PHO and artificial trans-fat from our food supply transpired. This was such good news, however scientists and food companies have already started scrambling to find replacements like Fully Hydrogenated Oil (FHO). FHO has the same characteristics as PHO; it is cheap, extends the shelf life, and improves the texture of food. And some argue there are benefits, because even though the hydrogenation increases the amount of saturated fat, most of it is stearic acid which does not raise LDL the bad cholesterol. From my perspective, there is currently still not enough information about FHO. It's still a process to convert healthy oils to harmful ones. FHO still goes through a manufacturing process where the healthy, natural oils are altered to resemble a butter-like substance minus the trans-fat. Because of the consistency, they typically mix it with a PHO which is referred to as interesterification. Currently there are no regulations on interesterification.
To be clear, the less you do to my food the better. While I do appreciate science and the miracles created, please don't alter the foods I eat. I choose to eat foods in their most natural state because I want my body to recognize them, to feel good, and stay as healthy as possible.
It would be impossible for me to list all of the foods that contain these harmful chemicals; admittedly I'm not even using the word "ingredient" to refer to a PHO. Here is a brief list of items I used to eat, but now I avoid buying them:
- Enriched packaged white bread
- Enriched white hamburger and hot dog buns
- Saltine crackers ™
- Macaroni and cheese
- My beloved pop tarts (That was a heartbreaker!)
My recommendation: Eat whole foods in their purest form - not packaged, processed, or convenience foods - just the simplest most basic form of food. When choosing what to eat daily consider balancing food groups for optimum benefit, health, and satisfaction.
For breakfast try a savory smoothie, or sourdough bread with smashed avocado, lemon, and salt & pepper. Lunch can consist of a salad with a healthy protein, olive oil, freshly squeezed lemons, and salt & pepper. You can even try putting an egg on it if your personal food choices allow. Healthy grains and roasted veggies dressed in a tahini sauce is a delicious option for dinner. There are limitless possibilities for each meal, it may take a moment to shift away from the foods you were once used to and find healthier options. Believe me, it's totally worth it!

Kodak's Carp Says Digital Technology Expands Market Opportunities
Friday, May 20, 2005
PHILADELPHIA, May 18 – Just as digital technology created a bigger consumer photography market, it will provide the same growth opportunities for commercial printers, marketers and data managers, said Daniel A. Carp, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Eastman Kodak Company. In a keynote address today to attendees of the AIIM ON DEMAND Conference and Exposition at the Philadelphia Convention Center, Carp highlighted both the forces transforming the graphic communications industry and the traditions that can serve as guideposts for companies navigating those changes. "During times of industry transformation, change is not a choice. It is a necessity," Carp said. "There was a moment for me when Kodak's direction became clear. We had to change and transform Kodak around a new digital business model. It was a liberating moment, one that inspired our organization to think differently, to change old ways of working and to act on the best ideas. "The digital transformation created new markets, wider markets in these and other industries," Carp said. "We were able to transition from limited conventional businesses into dynamic digital growth markets. Let me emphasize again that NONE of it has been easy. But ALL of it has been enabling, and exciting. We're carrying an iconic brand into the future, to remain an icon—of excellence, and of customer-driven change." Carp stated that graphic communications businesses are moving quickly to deliver on the promise of digital technologies and workflows, and that Kodak is determined to provide them with the products and services necessary for success. "The end client increasingly values a vendor who can be a one-stop shop, that offers database management, prepress services and blend both digital and traditional offset processes seamlessly; a shop that can handle variable data printing in small lots and large one; and that can provide both inventory management and workflow management services. A vendor who can help them do more, better, faster; a vendor who can help them improve their business," Carp said. Carp noted that since 2003 Kodak has invested more than $2 billion to assemble its Graphic Communications Group and to build the broadest portfolio of technologies, products and services in the industry. "We chose—aggressively, wholeheartedly—to become a major participant in this industry," Carp said. "We voted with our feet and our pocketbooks to immerse ourselves in this industry in the midst of all of the transformation. We did it because it's clear to us that while transformation creates risk, it also creates opportunity." Carp concluded by stating, "If you can use the best of digital technology to transform your business to serve the customer—streamlining processes and creating time and producing opportunity, you will find that you are more than successful, you will be the advisor they turn to to help translate their ideas and aspirations into reality."

Friends, readers, faithful followers, I am sad to inform you that this is the last Friday of August, which means that it is also the last Thirsty Friday post of the year. Sniff, sniff...
Sometime within the next week I'll compile a comprehensive list of all the refreshing recipes I gave to you this summer, for your drinking pleasure.
(On a side note, the word comprehensive makes me twinge. It sounds like I'm talking about an exam... Blah.)
I am aware that the summer season is not technically over, but it's almost September and in my mind Fall kind of begins on September first. My brain has already transitioned from slushies and watermelons to pumpkin lattes and apple cider doughnuts. I'm also having to exhibit a gross amount of willpower in order to keep myself from buying all the cute school supplies. It's an annual battle. Pretty pencils and lined notebooks just get to me.
This has been a good Summer. One of the best of my life, actually, and I am rather despondent to say goodbye -- especially to the slushies. However, we are going out with flying colors because that's the only right way to do it.
However, I may have been unfair to punch. Due to my past unpleasant encounters, I utterly disregarded its part in the beverage world. The whole idea of punch is not bad in and of itself.
So, in hopes that I could break down my own unfair misconceptions, I decided to make my own punch. A fruity, green tea based punch that would be a balance of bitter earthiness and sweet, summery fruit, without any of those artificial flavorings.
Our punch begins with green tea. Strongly brewed and lightly sweetened.
To be honest, I am not in the habit of drinking green tea straight up. There is just something about it that I do not find incredibly appealing. I think its grassy vibe steers me away.
However, green tea has some wonderful health properties and I have been eager to find a way to work it into my diet. I found the way, and it includes sweet berries and tangy orange juice.
I used a combination of frozen cherries and fresh blueberries for this punch but you could use whatever you have on hand. I think that frozen strawberries would be especially delicious.
The fruit is blended up with the fresh orange juice and strained through a fine mesh strainer to give us a clean, pulp-free consistency.
The fruit puree is stirred into our cooled green tea, creating a vibrant, purple punch.
I enjoyed this punch best when it was served over a full glass of ice and dotted with blueberries and cherries. Oh, and if your using frozen berries they can be edible ice cubes!
The sweetness of the berries perfectly balances the bitter earthiness of the green tea.
No more pineapple soda punch around here.
Did I mention that this drink is full of antioxidants? Look at us starting the weekend out right!
I am sad to say goodbye to Thirsty Fridays for now, but excited about the new projects that are in the works.
Happy Summer, dear friends. I hope your final August weekend is simply smashing.
Pedantic Foodie

By Chris Berry
Despite numerous statements by market commentators (myself included) on the looming "nuclear renaissance", the uranium market remains stuck in neutral:
The real catalyst for higher uranium prices is the restart of a portion of the Japanese reactor fleet.
Recent elections in Tokyo hint that the political ruling class is in favor of nuclear reactor restarts – but when?
Cameco (CCJ:NYSE, CCO:TSX) held their quarterly and year end results conference call on Monday and announced a scrapping of their plan to produce 36M lbs of U3O8 by 2018.
This is not positive news for the uranium sector in the intermediate-term and has us sticking to the belief that focusing on near-term in-situ production stories in reliable political jurisdictions is the most sensible "investment" over the long-term with high grade hard rock discoveries in the Athabasca Basin serving as a good "trade."
Grinding The Gears
I want to start today's Note out with a clear statement of whom or what the culprit is for uranium's relative underperformance. This is the lack of Japanese reactor restarts (but by no means the only culprit). Many market commentators (me included) had anticipated at least some of the reactors coming back on line at this point. This was one of the mistakes I made in 2013.While it's also clear that the ENTIRE Japanese fleet will never come back online, anywhere from 20 to 30 reactors are anticipated to restart in the coming years. The thinking here is that once some of the Japanese reactors come back on line, this will breathe life into the uranium price and, coupled with the emerging market embrace of nuclear power, push spot and term uranium prices higher, enticing more exploration and production.
In the wake of Cameco's pronouncements from their quarterly earnings call this week (discussed below) it would appear that our initial estimate of a uranium supply and demand imbalance asserting itself by 2016 is still on target. There will certainly be trading opportunities in the interim, but investors should not likely expect much before then.
A Mixed Bag of News in a Long-Term Positive Story
Lest you think I'm painting some sort of a "doom and gloom" picture here, let me be clear that I am not. There are several developments in the uranium space which investors should be aware of including:
- Paladin Energy Ltd. (PDN:TSX, PDN:ASX) announced the mothballing of its Kayelekera uranium mine in Malawi. Management stated that at current uranium prices, the mine was a loss-maker and wouldn't be reopened until the uranium price rose to $75 per pound. This will take approximately 3 million pounds of uranium off of world markets. Other majors in the uranium space have also announced plans in recent months to curtail or halt production until a higher uranium price returns. PDN's one-year price performance is shown below:
- Exelon (EXC:NYSE), one of the largest electricity producers in the United States, recently announced intentions to possibly shut down some of the nuclear power plants it runs (it owns 10) in the face of nuclear energy's inability to compete with heavily subsidized renewables and cheap natural gas in the US. EXC's one-year price performance:
- In recent elections in Japan, Yoichi Masuzoe, an ally of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, won election to the Governorship of Tokyo. Many believe this victory to be a repudiation of anti-nuclear sentiment in Japan, however roughly half of Japanese citizens polled want the country to move away from nuclear power in the future. A weak Japanese Yen is increasing the cost of fossil fuels imported to take the place of nuclear generated electricity. This is hammering the Japanese current account balance, not to mention making electricity more expensive.
The US Department of Energy (DoE) is slowly unloading their stockpile of uranium on to the US domestic market. This is managed, but will amount to at least 5 million pounds of additional uranium supply in the US going forward. This disposition could last for up to 25 years.
Cameco, one of the largest producers of uranium in the world, used their quarterly earnings call earlier this week to throw cold water on any immediate move higher for uranium pricing or uranium equities.
Reading Between the Lines
I have said many times before that I find listening to company earnings calls to be an extremely beneficial exercise. The rationale here is that though it does require the ability to "read between the lines" in some cases, the discussion of a commodity or industry from a major producer in that industry helps to balance much of the noise we hear from the junior space.
Cameco's (CCJ) earnings call last Monday was important if for no other reason that they publicly scrapped their stated goal of producing 36 million pounds of uranium by 2018 saying "it no longer makes sense."
As a point of reference, CCJ produced 23.6 million pounds of uranium in 2013 at an average realized price of $48.35 per pound. The costs were approximately $34 per pound (all figures for the year and in USD).
Tim Glitzel, the company CEO stated, "There has been little to no improvement on the issues needed to help clear the oversupply and uncertainty the industry continues to face,"
He went on to outline the company's plans going forward. Listening to this and reading through the company's MD&A1 was also telling:
- Exploration expenses down by 35 to 40%
- CCJ announced the sale of its interest in Bruce Power which will net the company $129 million. This move was undertaken so the company could focus its efforts on uranium production. Restructuring like this is done to enhance financial flexibility and is the type of move many other majors involved with other commodities are undertaking
- CCJ is content with its composition of reserves and resources and didn't sound particularly interested in any M&A in this market. This is bad for the juniors who look at a takeout as one of the typical exit strategies for shareholders
- Long term contracting for uranium supply has slowed to a crawl. According to the company, while roughly 170 million pounds of uranium is under contract in any given year, in 2013 only 20 million pounds was contracted. The nuclear industry usually enters into supply contracts with a 2 to 5 year window. This implies less need for uranium in the near-term and is likely another major reason why the uranium spot and term prices haven't rebounded faster.
The chart above shows anticipated uranium requirements for US nuclear power plants. Though a small amount of uranium is currently being contracted, it is encouraging to see the gap between uranium pounds under contract and unfilled widening substantially starting in 2015-2016. This implies a need for additional contracted supply. With only four million pounds of domestic uranium production, it will be interesting to see the source of the uranium needed to fill this looming gap.
Facts like the ones listed above paint the picture of a company (CCJ) focusing on sustainability rather than survivability. Survival is the specter haunting most junior mining companies today. Clearly, CCJ will survive the current malaise in the commodity markets given its opportunistic positioning.
What To Do Now?
With a moribund uranium price, I still believe that finding the lowest-cost producers or near-term production stories offers the greatest potential for long-term after tax returns. I continue to believe that stories like UR-Energy (URG:NYSE, URE:TSX) and Uranerz (URZ:NYSE, URZ,TSX) require your attention as they are well run companies that offer the ability to produce uranium at a low cost in a reliable geopolitical jurisdiction. Both companies have had great runs of late, but as production continues (in the case of URG) and commences soon (in the case of URZ) cash flow generation and low operating costs should lead to a higher share price. I own shares in URZ.
URG's one-year price performance:
URZ's one-year price performance:
Special attention should also be paid to the discoveries in the Athabasca Basin. The discoveries in this part of the world are truly world class based on grade and location. That said, it will take a much higher uranium price to make any of these discoveries "economic" and therefore, I would take profits immediately upon any discovery and subsequent share price appreciation.
The Takeaway
Despite the "seesawing" in this Note, I am still bullish on uranium, but continue to believe that the payoff will be delayed somewhat. As I have said numerous times in recent Notes, selectivity in investments is crucial. Specifically, selectivity in the type of uranium mining, in the market cap of a company, and in the geopolitical jurisdiction where a deposit is located must all factor into your analysis.
In a recent video interview2, I called uranium a "contrarian's dream". Many market participants, with other agendas or biases absolutely hate it. I admit that waste disposal, permitting, and several other factors do make uranium investing treacherous territory. That said, there are long-term reasons to seriously consider uranium companies in your portfolio. Even the most sanguine analysts forecast uranium demand to reach up to 240 million pounds in the next ten years over 170 million pounds today. Low prices are closing mines and delaying expansion. A lack of financing (with Uranium Participation Corp's (U:TSX) $50 million bought deal being a notable exception) is making it hard for exploration to continue. Finally, the nuclear power build out in Emerging Markets combines with the other factors I mentioned to paint a positive outlook for uranium going forward despite the low current spot price.

The following is a summary of the Rules of Golf, simplified where possible. For more information, please refer to the Rules of Golf.
Players should at all times show consideration to all others using the course. Although the following points are not Rules as such they are an important part of the game.
• Don't play until the group in front is out of the way.
• Shout a warning if your ball might hit someone.
• Don't move, talk or stand close to a player making a stroke.
• Don't step on another player's line of putt.
• Always play without delay and keep up with the group in front.
• Invite faster groups to play through.
• Repair divot holes and pitch-marks.
• Smooth footprints in bunkers.
• Don't drop clubs on the putting green or lean on your putter.
• Replace the flagstick carefully.
• In the case of a serious breach of etiquette, the Committee has the
authority to disqualify a player.
A good knowledge of the defined terms will help in the correct application of the Rules. These include:
Teeing Ground – the starting place for the hole, defined by two tee-markers.
Through the Green – the whole area of the golf course except the teeing ground and putting green of the hole being played and all hazards.
Hazards – any bunker or water hazard.
Putting Green – an area specially prepared for putting.
Out of Bounds – beyond the boundaries of the course or any part of the course marked as out of bounds by the Committee. A ball is out of bounds when all of it lies out of bounds.
Loose Impediments – natural objects such as stones, leaves and twigs, provided they are not fixed or growing, are not solidly embedded and are not sticking to the ball (dew and frost are not loose impediments).
Obstructions – any man-made object, except:
• objects defining out of bounds;
• any part of an immovable man-made object that is out of bounds; and
• any construction declared by the Committee in the Local Rules to be an integral part of the course.
Casual Water – any temporary accumulation of water on the course that is visible before or after the player takes his stance (dew and frost are not casual water).
Ground Under Repair – any part of the course so marked by the Committee. Also includes material piled for removal and a hole made by a greenkeeper, even if not so marked.
Burrowing Animal – an animal that makes a hole in which to live or shelter (e.g. a rabbit, mole, etc.).
Nearest Point of Relief – the reference point for taking free relief from immovable obstructions, casual water, ground under repair, burrowing animal holes, etc. and a wrong putting green. It is the nearest point not nearer the hole where, if the ball were so positioned, there would be no interference from the condition for the stroke the player would have made from the ball's original position.
Before commencing your round:
• Read the Local Rules on the score card or the notice board.
• Put an identification mark on your ball. Many golfers play the same brand of ball and if you can't identify your ball, it is considered lost.
• Count your clubs. You are allowed a maximum of 14 clubs.
During the round, don't ask for "advice" from anyone except your partner or caddie. Don't give advice to anyone except your partner. During the play of a hole you must not play any practice shots.
Play your tee shot from between, and not in front of, the teemarkers.
You may play your tee shot from up to two club-lengths behind the front line of the tee-markers.
Teeing from outside this area – in match play there is no penalty but your opponent may require you to replay your stroke; in stroke play you incur a two-stroke penalty and must then play from within the proper area.
Play the ball as it lies. Don't improve your lie, the area of your intended stance or swing or your line of play by moving, bending or breaking anything fixed or growing, except in fairly taking your stance or making your swing. Don't press anything down or build a stance.
If your ball is in a bunker or a water hazard, don't touch the ground in either type of hazard, or touch water in the water hazard, with your hand or club before your downswing.
The ball must be fairly struck at, not pushed or spooned.
Playing a wrong ball (except in a hazard) – in match play you lose the hole; in stroke play you incur a two-stroke penalty and you must then correct the mistake by playing the correct ball or by proceeding under the Rules.
You may repair ball marks and old hole plugs on the line of your putt but not any other damage, such as spike marks. You may mark, lift and clean your ball on the putting green. Always replace it on the exact spot.
When making a stroke on the putting green you should ensure that the flagstick is removed or attended.
Ball played from putting green strikes the flagstick – in match play you lose the hole; in stroke play you incur a two-stroke penalty.
If you accidentally cause your ball to move, lift it when not permitted or it moves after you have addressed it, add a penalty stroke and replace your ball.
Failure to replace ball – in match play you lose the hole; in stroke play you incur a total penalty of two strokes.
If your ball at rest is moved by someone else or another ball, replace it without penalty to you.
Ball struck by you is deflected or stopped by you, your partner or your caddie – in match play you lose the hole; in stroke play you incur a two-stroke penalty and the ball is played as it lies.
Ball struck by you is deflected or stopped by someone else – play your ball as it lies without penalty, except (a) in match play, if an opponent or his caddie deflects the ball you have an option to replay the stroke or (b) in stroke play, if the ball is deflected after a stroke from on the putting green, you must replay the stroke.
Ball struck by you is deflected or stopped by another ball at rest – no penalty and the ball is played as it lies, except in stroke play you incur a two-stroke penalty if your ball and the other ball were on the putting green before you played.
Before lifting a ball that has to be replaced (e.g. when the ball is lifted on the putting green to clean it), the position of the ball must be marked. When the ball is being lifted in order to drop or place it in another position (e.g. dropping within two club-lengths under the unplayable ball Rule, etc.), it is not mandatory to mark its position although it is recommended that you do.
When dropping, stand upright, hold the ball at shoulder height and arm's length and drop it. If a dropped ball strikes you or your partner, caddie or equipment, it must be re-dropped without penalty.
A dropped ball must be re-dropped if it rolls into a hazard, out of a hazard, on to a putting green, out of bounds or to a position where there is interference from a condition from which free relief has been taken (e.g. an immovable obstruction).
A re-drop is also necessary if the dropped ball comes to rest more than two club-lengths from where it was dropped or nearer the hole than its original position, the nearest point of relief or where the ball last crossed the margin of a water hazard. If the ball when re-dropped rolls into any of these positions, place it where it first struck the course when re-dropped.
You may lift your ball or have any other ball lifted if you think it might assist any other player.
You may have any ball lifted if it might interfere with your play.
You may move a loose impediment unless it and your ball are in a hazard. However, if you have removed a loose impediment and this causes your ball to move, the ball must be replaced and (unless your ball was on the putting green) you incur a penalty stroke. Movable obstructions (e.g. rakes, tin cans, etc.) positioned anywhere may be moved without penalty. If the ball moves it must be replaced without penalty.
Check the Local Rules on the score card for guidance on immovable obstructions (e.g. surfaced roads and paths, etc.).
Free Relief (except in a water hazard) – if an immovable obstruction (e.g. a sprinkler head) physically interferes with the lie of the ball, your stance or swing, you may drop the ball within one club-length of the nearest point of relief not nearer the hole. If the ball is on the putting green, it is placed at the nearest point of relief. There is no relief for intervention on your line of play unless your ball and the obstruction are on the putting green.
Also, when the ball is in a bunker, the player may take relief from the obstruction behind the bunker under penalty of one stroke.
Free Relief (except in a water hazard) – if your ball is in a position where you have interference from an abnormal ground condition (i.e. casual water, ground under repair or a hole or cast made by a burrowing animal, etc.), you may drop within one club-length of the nearest point of relief not nearer the hole. If the ball is on the putting green, it is placed at the nearest point of relief. There is no relief for intervention on your line of play unless your ball and the abnormal ground condition are on the putting green.
If your ball is in a bunker and you cannot take complete relief, you may drop the ball at the nearest position in the bunker not nearer the hole that gives maximum available relief. Also, when the ball is in a bunker, the player may take relief behind the bunker under penalty of one stroke.
Check the Local Rules on the score card to establish whether the sea, lake, river, ditch, etc. is a 'water hazard' or a 'lateral water hazard'.
Ball in water hazard (yellow stakes and/or lines) – play the ball as it lies or, under penalty of one stroke,
• play again from where you hit the ball into the hazard, or
• drop any distance behind the water hazard keeping a straight line between the hole, the point where the ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard and the spot on which the ball is dropped. Ball in lateral water hazard (red stakes and/or lines) – in addition to the options for a ball in a water hazard (see above), under penalty of one stroke, you may drop within two club-lengths of, and not nearer the hole than,
• the point where the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard, or
• a point on the opposite side of the hazard equidistant from the hole.
Check the Local Rules on the score card to identify the boundaries of the course.
If your ball is lost outside a water hazard or out of bounds you must play another ball from the spot where the last shot was played under penalty of one stroke, i.e. stroke and distance. You are allowed 5 minutes to search for a ball, after which if it is not found or identified it is lost.
If, after playing a shot, you think your ball may be lost outside a water hazard or out of bounds you should play a 'provisional ball'.
You must state that it is a provisional ball and play it before you go forward to search for the original ball. If it transpires that the original ball is lost or out of bounds, you must continue with the provisional ball, under penalty of one stroke. If the original ball is not lost or out of bounds, you must continue play of the hole with it and the provisional ball must be abandoned.
If you believe your ball is unplayable and it lies outside a hazard, you may under penalty of one stroke,
• drop a ball at the spot from where the last shot was played, or
• drop a ball any distance behind the point where the ball lay keeping a straight line between the hole, the point where the ball lay and the spot on which the ball is dropped, or
• drop a ball within two club-lengths of where the ball lies not nearer the hole.
If your ball is in a bunker you may proceed as above, except that if you are dropping within two club-lengths or back on a line, you must drop in the bunker.
If your ball is in a water hazard, you must proceed under the water hazard Rule if taking relief.

Destiny Fails Us | Otome Game
PAYPAL TOTAL: $165 (as of 6:45am PDT, Monday 10/14/2013)
All money received through PayPal will go towards our stretch goals.
In the beginning of Destiny Fails Us, Idril's time is devoted to friends, video games, and a childhood crush named Vincent. Everything in her life gets flipped upside down all in one day. Suddenly, romance, school work, and friendships have become more complicated and as Idril takes a step back to reassess her life, You, the Player, take the reigns and decide what will become of Idril's teenage years.
Your choices will effect everything from your friendships, social status and love life, to your grades and what events you experience in the DFU world. Are you the type of person who strives to hold on to all of your friends and loved ones, or would you rather ignore the wants and needs of those around you to further your own gain? Either way, it's up to you to decide whether you would like to be the perfect angel, or feed your inner demon.
Destiny Fails Us is like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Novel. It's an interactive story that brings in graphics, music, and sound effects together while you make choices that lead you down different paths and to multiple different endings.
When the game is ready to be released, it will be available for purchase at $15, but you can get the game for as low as $10 now by donating to our Kickstarter. The game will also not contain any DRM (Digital Rights Management).
Interested to see what DFU is like for yourself? You can! We have a demo where you can play through the Prologue and the beginning of Chapter 1 available for you to download right now!
Direct Download
Please note that the music and art, like the backgrounds, user interface, and event scenes, are yet to be finalized. In short, this demo is meant to give you an idea of the full game, but doesn't fully represent the final product that we have in mind.
Having a successful Kickstarter Campaign will allow me to continue to work on Destiny Fails Us so it becomes a full, commercial-quality game. I've already put thousands of hours on the graphics, interface, coding, and sound for the demo. With the funding from this Kickstarter, I want to take DFU to the next level.
- $900 - Sprites and CGs
- $600 - Backgrounds
- $300 - Music
- $600 - Programming
- $600 - Fees and Rewards
New to Kickstarter?
You can donate to the project using your amazon account by clicking on the reward tier you want or the "Back This Project" button, located underneath the remaining days. At this point you can change your donation amount and finalize your tier, and you will be taken to Amazon to sign in and confirm your payment information.
If the project is successful, you will be charged upon the Kickstarter Campaign's completion on October 14, 2013. Until then, you can change the amount you're donating and your reward at any time.
If we reach $5,000 we will add another character, One-Hit-Wonder-Boy into the game. One-Hit-Wonder-Boy has appeared in the Destiny Fails Us manga a few times, with such great hits as "Your mom goes to college!" and "It's the final countdown! Dah da de ne, dah ne ne ne ne!"
If he was added into the game, would you take the opportunity to see the person behind those outdated sunglasses?
If we make $7,500 we will create a version of the game for you to play on your Android Devices! I'll also do my best to provide an OUYA port for the game as well.
We'll also look into releasing an iOS version of the game, but we cannot guarantee that.
At $10,000 we will add some secret characters into the game with their own story arcs.
And as an added bonus, we will be able to have Tyler work on the game alongside Ame full time during the winter months, which means more work getting done in a shorter amount of time. This possibly means that the game might be released sooner!
If we get $12,000 we will be able to hire voice actors to act out and voice the important scenes of the game. The settings in the final game will allow you to toggle the voices on and off at your discretion.
If we reach all of the previously mentioned Stretch Goals, we will update this with some more awesome stretch goals at $15,000!
In this section, we're going to take a moment to tell you about us, the creators of this game. Our names are Amelia Hanks (I also go by "Ame") and Tyler Cole, and we're a two person team that met in high school. We shared a few classes together, most notably a computer class where we bonded over long talks about awesome video games. We started dating the summer after graduation, and have been together for over 3 years now.
Hi, my name is Ame. Ever since I was little I wanted to create something that was both visually appealing and that told a story. I remember writing stories in class and drawing illustrations to go with them, and I remember the support I got from my teachers to push me towards my dreams. I started making a manga for Destiny Fails Us back in November of 2011 with Tyler's help and support, and in the winter of 2012, I started working on an Otome Game for the series. DFU has held a special place in my heart for a long time, as some of the characters have existed since 2007. Seeing this Kickstarter reach its goal would allow me to continue this dream and see the game to its completion. I want you all to know I appreciate every bit of support we get, and that I'll do my best to create a quality game for you all to enjoy.
Hello Awesome People, this is Tyler. I've always been one of those people that looks average from the outside. Throughout high school I mostly was a shut in, who minded my own business, and played lots of video games. I've had a fascination with video games and writing both since I was 10 year old kid making my own RPG on RPG Maker 2000. To this day I continue my creative processing/practice by writing often, and reading fantasy, poems, and other odd literature. Since Ame has started Destiny Fails Us I have been behind her with my full support. Despite most of my time going to sleepy hours and a full time job, I have thrown my heart and soul into the writing of this project, and I hope to continue to learn and create the story of Destiny Fails Us with the help of Ame and all of you amazing backers!
If anyone has questions, please don't hesitate to ask us! We'll answer as soon as we can.
Risks and challenges
This game will feature many event CGs, a lengthy story with many different routes and endings, and plenty of unlockables. The good news is, I've already laid down the ground work with a majority of the programming and sprites to be utilized later in development. However, creating the CGs, writing the story, and testing to make sure everything is playable, takes time.
After great discussion and analyzing the time it takes to do what we've done so far, both visible in the demo and taking account the groundwork we've already completed, we've given ourselves over a year to complete and release the game. In this time period, we feel we've given ourselves adequate time to accomplish everything with the possibility of always finishing ahead of time and releasing sooner. And I, Ame, will be working full time on the game up until it's ready for release, with Tyler helping me in all of his spare time and possibly joining me full time in the winter provided we reach enough funding.
In the case that something happens that causes us to delay our game, know that we are doing everything in our power to fix that. We plan on hiring additional help in certain areas to speed up the process, and in the case that someone is falling behind too much in those areas where it affects the game as a whole, we will have to replace them with someone else that can meet our needs.
Destiny Fails Us means the world to me, I will do everything in my power to get you all the quality game you deserve. Helping us fund this Kickstarter, spreading the word, and your kind words and support will not only help us release this game, but will also help ensure that we won't have any unwanted setbacks.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

The New York Knicks might be too serious in preparing for this year's season, but they sure could be fun with Robin Lopez around.
Recently, the Knicks announced they have reached a deal with free-agent center Lopez who averaged 9.6 points and 6.7 rebounds for the Portland Trail Blazers last year. The deal was reportedly worth $54 million over four years.
The 27-year-old former Stanford player and the Knicks' three other free-agent acquisitions were introduced in Las Vegas on Friday, and while most of the talk was about basketball, Lopez kept it light-hearted. He talked about mascots and a Harry Potter-like living situation instead of basketball issues. What a comic man indeed!
When Robin's twin brother Brook re-signed with the Brooklyn Nets and then he signed a long-term deal with the Knicks, many wondered if the two brothers would end up living together. Robin scoffed at a notion that Brook would be living with him in a unique living situation.
"I think he said under the stairs, a la Harry Potter. It's a very 'Muggle' response," he said, using a term that only Potter fans would understand as one describing someone who lacks magical powers. "I think he's trying to hinder or suppress whatever mystical abilities I may have. He can't understand them and I don't blame him for that."
Truly, this newly-signed Knicks center is one with the better comic flair than his twin brother. Undeniably, the Knicks will start their season with fun and excitement as the 7-foot-tall Lopez joins their jaded team.
The Nets and Knicks have always had a small rivalry going based on the proximity of the two franchises to each other. Toss in the sibling rivalry of the Lopez brothers, the Nets and Knicks could now be bitter rivals.
Well, let's just wait for the hard court clash of the twin brothers. Who knows, Robin can beat his brother Brook this time, not with his magical wand, but with his real basketball abilities!

Papa's Tomato Pies, the pride of Trenton, New Jersey. Dubious signage, delicious food. Photo: Flickr/gopf2222
After an exhausting weekend spent exploring the power of whiskey and one-dollar bills during my Philadelphia bachelor party, the last thing I wanted to do was spend Sunday afternoon shoving my face into a hot, oozy pie.
"I think we need to get you a tomato pie," my friend Will said, knee-steering our car from the City of Brotherly Love at a speed that Indianapolis 500 aficionados would appreciate. "It's what you eat in Trenton, New Jersey." He grabbed his BlackBerry and clacked a query into Google. The results unfurled instantly. Phone calls were made as Will rocketed down the interstate. "Are you open?" he inquired of Papa's Tomato Pies. A pause. "Beautiful," Will said in his honeyed lawyer voice, ordering a large pie. "We'll be there in 15 minutes to pick it up." He killed the call. Then he sped up, Trenton's skyline approaching as quickly as a camera's zoom lens.
Perhaps I should pause to explain. A tomato pie is not a savory summertime treat. It's pizza. Then again, it's pizza in reverse. To create a Trenton tomato pie, the ripe red berries of the nightshade family are crushed, not turned into sauce. A thin crust is topped with olive oil and a smattering of cheese, and then the chunky tomatoes and a finishing oily drizzle. Finally, the pie is cooked till it's as crunchy as a Saltine cracker.
In Trenton, the major practitioners are De Lorenzo's and Papa's Tomato Pies (804 Chambers St., at Roebling Ave., papastomatopies.com). Since it was Father's Day, it was only fitting that we chose this paternal restaurant, opened by founder Joe Papa in 1912. Nearly a century later, Papa's is America's oldest family-owned pizza restaurant (a distinction that separates it from Lombardi's Pizza, which was founded in 1905). Today, Papa's looked every one of its 99 years. A vacant adjoining storefront had a taped-on arrow pointing to a door to the right, which was outfitted with a stained glass "P." Yellowing tape held together the awning, featuring a cartoony, mustachioed Italian chef.
Looks can be deceiving. Inside, vintage lights hung from the ceiling over wooden booths, and the walls were covered with photo collages of contented customers. We walked to the cash register and seized our pie, eager to return to the road. "Are you sure you don't want to eat here?" asked Nick Azzaro, the family's third generation of pizza makers, who runs the restaurant with son Dominic. "What's the rush?" I wanted to explain my hangover, how my head felt as it were filled with fighting feral squirrels. In short, I wanted to be in bed. "Sure, let's eat it here," Will said, before I could protest. The box was whisked to the kitchen. We slid into a booth. The pie was placed before us on a round metal sheet. The circular feast was a mosaic of vibrant red and blistered white, the edges cooked as dark as a Caribbean tan. I bit my slice. The crust crunched as if it were a kettle-cooked chip, the textural tomatoes' natural sweetness singing louder than the creamy mozzarella—a contrast to the average New York slice, where the sauce often plays second fiddle to cheese.
Azzaro, who looked a bit like Harvey Keitel wearing Christopher Lloyd's Back to the Future hair, abandoned the kitchen to observe. "What do you think?" he asked. Singular. Delicious. A different kind of pie altogether. Azzaro took the accolades in smiling stride. Then we came back with our question: What's the difference between a tomato pie and a pizza? It's a matter of cost, Azzaro explained. Used to be, every Trenton establishment slinging tomato pies had a vertical neon sign that announced the specialty. Then neon grew more expensive. Since sign makers charged by the letter, cost-conscious owners opted for the more succinct "pizza."
To me, there's still a distinction between a pizza and a pie. In lieu of pillowy dough, a cheesy blanket and a bedspread of zingy tomato, you have purer expression of its ingredients. The result is a regional delicacy good enough to make you—or was that me?—forget about a hammering hangover.

This Artist Paints Incredible Masterpieces With Her Mouth
When Alana Tillman was five years old, she found her passion: painting. But Tillman had to take on a unique technique to pursue the hobby. The Santa Rosa, California, artist was born with a congenital disorder called arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), which causes her shoulder and elbow joints to remain locked. She can't raise her arms over her head or straighten them out, and she can't move her fingers. So, Tillman learned to paint using her mouth.
"In preschool, when I was learning how to write my name, it was sort of the logical thing to do, 'Oh, my mouth works so let me put the tool in my mouth,'" Tillman, now 33, tells SELF. "So it just came naturally."
About 1 in 3,000 babies are born with AMC, according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders. AMC affects joints by permanently restricting them in a bent or straight position. This is called a congenital contracture, and it affects two or more parts of the body for someone born with AMC.
Tillman was born with her arms locked bent and both her feet clubbed as a result of AMC. Corrective surgeries reset her feet so she could walk on her own, and Tillman began exploring art while recovering from those surgeries at ages five and six.
"A lot of times I was in casts and just sitting around the house, so painting and drawing really was an outlet for me," she says. "And sometimes in the hospital I'd be sitting in bed so the only thing to do was to draw."
She says she comes from a creative household—her dad's an architect—and her art was always encouraged. Realizing she was pretty good, she kept at it.
"My parents never made me feel like I couldn't do anything," she says. "They never treated me differently than my other siblings. I'm a twin, and my twin was born able-bodied. But they never treated me different than her."

Today, after studying fine art in college, Tillman is now a full-time artist, specializing in custom artwork and murals, as well as her own original creations. She paints in her kitchen in Santa Rosa, using plexiglass or plastic brushes. The paint lacquer on wooden brushes would come off because of her technique, she says. She works primarily with acrylic paint, and she's part of the Mouth & Foot Painters organization. The group supports painters like Tillman by helping them purchase supplies and take art courses.
Her career has taken off, with a newly-signed contract with retailer Williams-Sonoma, who will sell her original art in their catalog come 2017. And, she's recently gained Reddit fame, too. Last Thursday, a good friend—who considers Tillman family—posted a picture to the site of Tillman painting with her mouth, along with images of her stunning art. The post already has almost half a million views.
"What happened was I painted [my friend] a dog portrait for his dog that had passed, and I just did as a gift," Tillman says. "So he decided, 'Well I should probably share her story. I think other people would like to hear about it.' So he posted it, and it just got a really great response. I've been contacted form all these different people so it's been kind of like a whirlwind. I've gotten a bunch of commissions."

Tillman's happy to share her story, and she hopes it can inspire others and, maybe, help another five year old in the spot she found herself in.
"I'd really just like people to know that they can overcome any adversity, just with hardwork and dedication and trying to stay positive," she says. "... If there's a kid out there that could be doing the same thing as me, maybe I can show them that they can live a productive, happy life."

While not quite managing to dethrone Minecraft (or FIFA, which is a little worrying in sales terms), Toukiden Kiwami and Lego Ninjago at least trot gamely into the top five. Toukiden only makes it no 24 in the PS4 chart and not at all in the all formats, which isn't a great indication of success. Lego Ninjago makes it no 8 in the Amazon UK chart, the PSN chart doesn't update until Wednesday.
1 = MINECRAFT: PLAYSTATION EDITION Sony - 1 20
2 = FIFA 15 EA Sports - 2 27

Five Ways Data Sharing Makes a Difference
Each facility in the healthcare and emergency services field is frequently a silo, with little sharing of patient care data. Sharing data among hospitals and services helps each understand the effect their care has on the outcome of the patient. ImageTrend Hospital Hub facilitates this data exchange, allowing hospitals to view ePCRs from multiple sources and send outcome data back to EMS.
How does Hospital Hub influence data sharing?
- Medics have access to a patient's medical history, enabling better care in the field.
- ePCRs are transmitted electronically to the receiving hospital. The hospital is then able to prepare the resources needed before arrival.
- Shared ePCRs are transmitted electronically to the hospital's EHR – saving time and reducing data entry errors.
- The hospital and EMS data is combined into a single record that can be submitted for billing and to the state.
- Data of the patient's outcome is shared to stakeholders, such as the state, EMS unit and transport unit, allowing for overall situational awareness. Services are also able to evaluate quality of care in the field, monitor trends and report more thoroughly.
Hospital Hub is a resource to make safe, easy data sharing a reality for healthcare and emergency services organizations. If you're ready to explore a collaboration with the organizations in your area, Hospital Hub can help make the logistics easy.

ASE A4 Steering Suspension Practice Test
11. Technician A says two different size tires on the rear of a vehicle will illuminate the amber ABS light. Technician B says the 60 in P225/60R16 89H indicates the tire's section width. Who is correct?
- A. Technician A
- B. Technician B
- C. Both A and B
- D. Neither A or B
Answer A is correct. Two different size tires or wheels on the rear of an ABS equipped vehicle will have a negative affect on the system and illuminate the ABS light. Because of the difference in tire size, the wheels will spin at different speeds.
Answer B is wrong. The three digits following the P, (225) indicate the tire's section width.
Answer C is wrong. Technician A is correct.
Answer D is wrong. Technician A is correct.
12. A front wheel drive vehicle with a rack and pinion power steering system is being diagnosed. During the test drive, the technician notices the steering is binding in one spot, only while turning right. Which of these is the MOST likely cause of this condition?
- A. The rack and pinion gear.
- B. The u-joint coupling.
- C. Loose tie rods.
- D. The steering knuckle.
Answer A is correct. The teeth on a rack gear can become fractured and break resulting in a bind or skip only in a certain spot. Each of the other answers would have a problem making both left and right hand turns.
Answer B is wrong. A binding u-joint will bind in more than one spot, each time the steering wheel makes a revolution.
Answer C is wrong. Loose tie rods make a clunking or popping noise. They result in vehicle wander.
Answer D is wrong. The ball joints or strut mount bushings allow the steering knuckle to pivot, these components are more likely to cause a binding condition.
13. A vehicle's right front wheel is making a growling noise that increases with vehicle speed. All of these will result in this condition EXCEPT:
- A. Excessive caster.
- B. Cupped tire tread.
- C. Worn struts.
- D. Worn wheel bearing.
Answer A is correct. Caster is viewed from the side of the vehicle. It is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering axis. It is not considered a tire wearing angle.
Answer B is wrong. A cupped tire will make a growling noise as it travels down the road.
Answer C is wrong. Worn struts result in cupped or scalloped tires. Cupped tires cause a growling noise while traveling down the road.
Answer D is wrong. A faulty wheel bearing will cause a growl that increases with vehicle speed.
14. Two technicians are performing a power steering pressure test. Technician A says a restriction in the high pressure line results in higher than normal test results. Technician B says if the pressure increases when the shutoff valve is closed, there's a problem with the power steering pump. Who is correct?
- A. Technician A
- B. Technician B
- C. Both A and B
- D. Neither A or B
Answer A is correct. A restriction in the high pressure line will result in higher than normal test results.
Answer B is wrong. If the pressure increases, then the pump is creating pressure as it should.
Answer C is wrong. Technician A is correct.
Answer D is wrong. Technician A is correct.
15. Two technicians are discussing a recirculating ball steering gear. Technician A says to measure worm bearing preload with a foot pound torque wrench. Technician B says an under adjusted sector shaft will result in excessive steering wheel free play. Who is correct?
- A. Technician A
- B. Technician B
- C. Both A and B
- D. Neither A or B
Answer A is wrong. Technician B is correct. Measure worm bearing preload with an inch pound torque wrench. Worm bearing preload and sector gear mesh are both adjustments made to recirculating ball steering gears.
Answer B is correct. This adjustment will affect steering wheel free play. The steering wheel will feel loose and sloppy if under-adjusted or if the gearbox or mounting bolts are loose.
Answer C is wrong. Technician B is correct.
Answer D is wrong. Technician B is correct.

Tricky - Eurochild lyrics
Eurochild by Tricky
Sitting in my day care, yard is decopainted.
Blessed by the drink
Upon the corner [?]
Chased by the planet
Haunted by the medium
Too high to flow toward to break the tedium
Glow from my tv set is blue like neon,
Activated the remote I put the BBC on
I've seen this city somewhere
I'm looking out for no-one
Pallor in my eye it get blue like neon
Hell is round the corner where I shelter
Isms and schisms,
We're living on helter skelter
If you believe what you see then common sense says shouldn't receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
No need to answer till I take further evidence
I seem to need reference to get residence,
A reference to your preference to say i'm a good neighbour I trudge
So judge me for my labour
I walk in a bar and immeadiately I sense danger
You look at me, gawd, if I was some kind of a, a total stranger
Hysterical, ecstatical [?]
Have to get a drink, I go to relax
Upon phono, no go zone I go through
Aching aways just to relocate you
Kill us with your fist
Now baby mix it with me
You see me function better when I get approximately-
-High by my technical flyby
I function better with the sun in my eyes
So goodbye
Take a second of me
You beckon i'll be
And when you're sad I'll mourn
And when you tear I'm torn
Take a second of me (x2)
I stand firm for our soil
Lick a rock on foil
Say seduce me, seduce me
Dress me up in stussy
Show me and I'll [stick em]
Will you be my victim
Take a second of me
Mad over you, mad over me, an analogy
Baby taking up up all of my stationary
Sitting in my daycare, mediocre painted
Colliding with the jam
Until the drink got dated
Window when they go when they go boom
[?] of my room
No sense you can trust me
Climb on my sofa
Roll in a daydream
Spliff make daddy go sleep-a-trip dream

There are a large number of services and app available for mobile/dth recharge but for simplifying our problem we just need one service/app which can handle all of our recharges. So in this post, we are going to discuss its features, why it is better than other services? why do we need to use it? what are its benefits? etc.
"This post may contain affiliate links & we will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on our links" [Read More Here]
Here we are going for an in-depth review by a Question-Answer method so that it will not be boring. ;)
Why do we need to Recharge Online? It can also be done offline and locally

- Online recharge is a time saver. You don't have to go to the shop.
- You can see all available offers online but this may not be possible at local shop.
- and there are many more benefits, keep searching :)
Why do we need to use Third-Party service for recharges? Can't we use Network/DTH provider official website for recharging purpose?
We are sure that most of the person reading this post will have more than one SIM card of different network providers and they may have two DTH services from different providers. If you want to manage all of them through official website you have to log-in & recharge differently for each.
By using a Third-party app you can manage all of these problems from a single page. I hope that this is the clear answer to your question.
So the above questions was the generally asked questions by most of the peoples. Now moving forward to more questions. This will be direct questions about Paytm.

- Paytm coupons are released frequently.
- There are many more benefits of using Paytm which cannot be explained literally.
- You can contact Paytm Customer Care Support anytime and they are very responsive.
What is Paytm Cash Wallet?
Paytm have online wallet system which stores money online once transferred by you, so that you don't have to enter your bank credentials or card details everytime you recharge.
Benefits of using Paytm Cash Wallet

Tips on Buying Essiac Tea for Cancer
Good quality Essiac tea will carry a detectable scent. Just like any other natural product, such as organic coconut oil or garlic, the smell of the product should be strong and should give an impression of freshness. Stale herbs will be less effective since the active elements will have started to deteriorate.
If you are buying online, stick to retailers who have a good reputation for delivering quality goods to their customers. Always use sterile containers and tools when you are preparing the tea.

George Howard: Born September 15th, 1956 - died March 20th 1998 ~ Jazz-Funk / Fusion / Contemporary Jazz an Smooth Jazz Soprano Saxophonist.
Extract from Wikipedia:
Howard was born September 15, 1956 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In the late 1970s, he began touring with Grover Washington, Jr., who was one of his idols. In the early 1980s, Howard released his first and second studio albums, Asphalt Gardens and Steppin' Out. Both albums were well received and ranked high on the Billboard magazine jazz album charts at number 25 and 9, respectively.
By 1985, Howard's third album, Dancing in the Sun, had scaled the Billboard Jazz Album chart to number 1. Each of his next three albums, Love Will Follow, A Nice Place to Be and Reflections would also reach this height in the Jazz Album chart. After the success of Dancing in the Sun, Howard left the label GRP Records in order to join MCA through the 1988 release of Reflections. However, he returned to GRP Records in 1990 and released Love Will Follow in 1991. He stayed with GRP until his untimely death of lymphoma on March 22, 1998. His final album, There's a Riot Goin' On was released posthumously (one month after his death) on April 21 by Blue Note Records.
If you like the saxophone and smooth Jazz then you should get a copy of "The VERY BEST of GEORGE HOWARD and then Some", this is a compilation of some his best renditions, the first track is one of my all time favorites: "Love Will Follow" and track 10. is another: "Love Will Find A Way", so why wait, get a copy and you will not be disappointed.
