Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers in Chesterton, Indiana
The location of a rehabilitation center is almost as important as the quality of services it renders. Chesterton is a haven for anyone who wants to break free of drug and alcohol addiction. Chesterton is a part of the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet Metro Area and is considered a hub of arts and culture and an epitome of economic and cultural diversity. It also offers a wide variety of lodging options for you and your family, such as the Hilton Garden Inn, Best Western Indian Oak, and even a relatively inexpensive Super 8.

College student Toni Harris became the first woman to sign a letter of intent to attend a university on a full football scholarship. The 22-year-old defensive back dreams of becoming the first woman to play in the NFL and proving that it's great to play like a girl.
One giant step for womankind: NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch will be participating in the first ever all-female spacewalk. They're scheduled to head out to space on March 29th, a great way to celebrate the end of International Women's Month!
Where are all the women? New York City announced that it will add four statues of influential women in an attempt to combat the gender gap present in public art. The women to be memorialized include jazz singer Billie Holiday and pediatrician and activist Dr. Helen Rodríguez Trías.
Girl power for generations to come! Mattel is releasing a Barbie doll of activist, model, and Gurls Talk founder Adwoah Aboah. The doll will be part of Mattel's "Shero" program, which highlights influential women like Ibtihaj Muhammad and Laurie Hernandez.

Vitamin-Mineral Testing
Nutritional status is the single most important determinant of health. Nutritional status plays a role in the root cause of many chronic health conditions, and in order to experience long-term relief and complete remission this factor has to be addressed. True prevention and wellness cannot take place without addressing nutrient status.
What are micronutrients?
Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals. They are essential nutrients that we need in small amounts in order to function optimally. A comprehensive micronutrient assessment can test the levels of over 35 vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, and fatty acids, making it a key component to a wellness plan.
In contrast to macronutrients, which are the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that we consume through our diet.
Health conditions correlated with micronutrient status
Autoimmune Conditions
Digestive Health
Fertility (Female & Male)
High Cholesterol
High Blood Pressure
Hormone balance
Skin Conditions
Sports nutrition
Weakened Immune System
Factors that can increase your need for vitamins/minerals
Medication (many medications cause nutrient depletion and create dependency as a result)
Physical activity/Weight training
Surgery healing
Toxic Load
A word on hair mineral analysis.
Hair mineral analysis tests have become popular and widely available. However their utility is often misrepresented. Hair mineral analysis can give an indication of excretion of minerals. They are not a measure of the levels of vitamins and minerals within your cells. Levels of some vitamins can be measured in urine. However a blood test is needed in order to get a complete assessment of vitamin and mineral status.
Why micronutrients should be re-tested?
Nutrient status is dynamic. It changes with our lifestyles and as the demands on our body change. Depending on whether you have a health condition and the severity, this would impact how often you would need to re-test your nutrient status.
Does Insurance cover micronutrient testing?
Some insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of micronutrient testing if you have a diagnosis that demonstrates medical necessity but usually there is still a substantial co-pay.

We have two brand new books on game development available right now! We're super excited! Check them out?
This year, we gave a talk at GDC called "Making Night in the Woods Better with Open Source". In it, we talked about how Night in the Woods, which came out last month and you should totally go buy, used the open source process in its development.
Unlike most of our other talks, we did something a little ridiculous with this one - we built an entire presentation system, from scratch, into Night in the Woods. We're actually pretty proud of this, and so we put together a video showing how it was done. Check it out!
The talk from GDC is also available online, and we've embedded it below:
Earlier this year, we were approached by the rad folks at Infinite Fall with a very interesting challenge: could we please add support for localisation in Yarn Spinner, the dialogue system we wrote, for Night in the Woods?
Yarn Spinner was written to be a more advanced interpreter for the Yarn language, a Twine-inspired tool for writing interactive dialogue. Yarn Spinner lets you write your game's dialogue in a very natural way, with minimal technical syntax and a strong focus on getting your words into the game.
Because Yarn Spinner has such a strong focus on minimising the amount of stuff you have to write on top of your dialogue, we have to be careful whenever adding new features to the language. Our goal is always to reduce the amount of stuff you have to think about when writing. However, any kind of localisation system requires you to add additional information, in the form of a key that links a line's original text that of a translated version.
We created what we think is a pretty neat solution to this: hashtags. To localise a line of text, you add a hashtag that contains a short tag, like this:
However, Night in the Woods has a lot of dialogue. Like, buckets of it. Tagging each and every line would be hugely laborious. Fortunately, we already have a tool that's very good at quickly and thoroughly processing large amounts of Yarn dialogue: Yarn Spinner itself!
We therefore put together a little tool that can extremely quickly (like, 2 seconds quickly) tag every single line of dialogue that needs it. The tool only counts text that needs localisation - that is, anything that a player will see. It ignores all other stuff, like if statements and other behind the scenes stuff, as well as any line that already has a tag, which allows you to run the tool on files that have been partially tagged. In other words, it's a tool you can feed your dialogue through without worrying about anything it's doing.
Once you have some tagged dialogue, you can then generate a file that contains every line's text, as well as its localisation tag. The tool generates a CSV spreadsheet, which is the easiest format for most people to read.
Once you have the spreadsheet, you can send it off to your translators. In our case, we sent it off to a translation team in Italy, who converted the entire text of the Night in the Woods demo into Italian. They then sent back a spreadsheet that contained the Italian versions of all of the lines. We then dropped this into the Night in the Woods demo, and presto: localised!
The code for the localisation tool has already been merged into the development branch of Yarn Spinner, and we'll be putting out more info on how to use it soon. We can't wait to see more games in more languages using Yarn Spinner. Stay tuned for more!
Complicated stories don't have to be complicated to build. We've already seen how Twine has made it easier than ever to create interactive fiction. Another tool, Yarn, has taken inspiration from Twine, and made it awesomely simple to craft interactive fiction.
This is where we come in. We also love telling stories, so we're absolutely delighted to introduce Yarn Spinner, an open source implementation of the Yarn language that's designed to make dialogue in your games a snap.
We built a tiny little demo game, which is set in space and available for you to play right now! It requires a keyboard to play it, and is compatible with most modern browsers.
What's Yarn?
Yarn is a very simple text based format, designed to let you write interactive, branching conversations with the greatest of ease. Here's a snippet:
// Check to see if we've spoken to Sally already <<if $spoken_to_sally is 0>> // We haven't spoken to her - run the initial conversation Player: Hey, Sally. Sally: Oh! Hey. Sally: You kind of snuck up on me. Sally: Don't do that. // Remember that we've spoken to her <<set $spoken_to_sally to 1>> <<else>> // Run a different conversation Player: Hey. Sally: Hi. <<endif>> // Now present some options to let the player choose how they'll respond. [[Anything exciting happen on your watch?|Sally.Watch]] [[See you later.|Sally.Exit]]
Yarn's used in a number of cool games, including Night In The Woods and Knights and Bikes.
What's Yarn Spinner?
Yarn Spinner is a parser and runner for Yarn. It's written in C#, and is designed to be super simple to integrate into Unity games. You just drag and drop a few objects, drag in your Yarn file (which you've written using the excellent Yarn editor), and you've got dialogue running!
I'm already using Yarn's original parser. What does Yarn Spinner do differently?
Yarn Spinner adds a number of useful features:
- Functions are now part of the language, and you can write your own in C#, where they'll be available to your scripts.
- The expression parser is quite a bit more powerful, and can handle most things you throw at it.
- Yarn Spinner is available as a separate .DLL file, which means that it's more separated from your Unity code.
- Yarn Spinner adds more types of values to the language. Where you previously only had numbers, you now also get strings, booleans and null! Woo, programmer toys!
Is it Open Source?
Yes! The whole source code is available under the MIT license, which means that you can use it in commercial games if you want! The only requirement is attribution.
Where can I learn more?
Check out the Yarn Spinner page, here on our site, or the GitHub page to learn more.

Dr. Nitzberg is the best dentist I've been to by far! I have had a fear of dentists since I was young but he really helped me feel comfortable in his chair - he also has these beautiful blankets to you help you get nice and cozy. He really explains every detail and is very gentle, not to mention he's easy on the eyes! Happy to have found him and can't wait until my next visit 🙂

Where the hell have ya been?
Hey Everyone,
I'm sure you all have been wondering what has been up with the studio in 2018. I apologize for forms filled out that have gone unanswered, and emails that I haven't responded too. My contract at audible studios in Newark, NJ has been absolutely amazing, but unfortunately has left me more busy than expected in 2018. I have been working on as many projects as I can while on this contract, and will know more about the studio's schedule and how everything will pan out within the coming months. Thanks for bearing with me, I see your emails, and I promise that if you are looking to record at Exeter, we will make it happen at some point in the future.

My little one/children photographer Singapore
This is my youngest one, just turned 5. Even if he will object all his life he will always be our baby, thats just nature being the last kid and having 10 years up to his older brother.
He is the sun in our life, he makes us laugh and feel everyday. Just a few days ago he left his kindergarden he has been at since he was 19 months old for summer holiday and in August he will join his older brother for school.
How can that be such a sentimental moment for me? Saying goodbye to kindy. No big deal. But things like this is super emotional for me, maybe its my inner voice telling me life goes to quickly, you better enjoy it now not later, or just time flies. I'm always the one shedding a tear at school concerts just because I feel the kids are so brave, for summer ending at Swedish school when the kids are singing Swedish summer songs….oh boy, that is a tough one for a softie like me.
I will listen to my inner voice. Once in a while:).
Have a fantastic day,

One of a kind
We all have a beauty running through us like colorful cascades of wonderment. Some colors are subtle others strong and bold. Sometimes we feel like our color is fading and that's when we need to stop and reconnect with ourselves and the earth. Never lose your color or let fade to black permanently. Self care means taking time to recharge and refuel your color so you can give to the world what you were meant to.

Grim reading in new sentencing guidelines on burglary
Crumbs of comfort in today's new guidelines on burglary from the Sentencing Council. The age of those convicted, or their 'lack of maturity', is listed as a mitigating factor when it comes to sentencing. Drug rehabilitation, rather than prison, is recommended for those where there is a reasonable prospect of success (though committing a burglary while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is also treated as an aggravating factor).

Cops hunt for gunman after professor is killed on Delta State campus
A professor was shot to death at Mississippi's Delta State University on Monday — and the campus remained on lockdown as police searched for a "person of interest" who is also a professor at the school.
Authorities were searching for Shannon Lamb, 45, after Dr. Ethan Schmidt was found fatally shot in his office at Delta State Monday morning, said Cleveland Police Department Chief Charles Bingham. No students were injured, according to police.
Police first named Lamb, who is listed on the school's website as a geography instructor, as a "person of interest" but later identified him as a suspect in the shooting.
Investigators believe Lamb might be in a 2011 black Dodge Avenger with the license plate number STF015, and asked anyone who saw Lamb or the car to call police because he is considered armed and dangerous.
Bingham said Lamb could have been involved in a homicide earlier Monday in the town of Gautier, which is about 300 miles south of Delta state.
Police hadn't determined a motive for the campus shooting, Bingham said.
The school's website lists the victim, Schmidt, as a professor of American history.
The school remained on lock down Monday afternoon, even though investigators had swept each building and believed Lamb had left campus, Bingham said.
But, he added, "We're not taking anything lightly."
A post on the school's Twitter page at about 10:45 a.m. local time said: "An active shooter has been spotted on campus near Jobe Hall. Please take immediate lock down action." Students and staff were also urged to stay away from windows.
Hundreds of officers from Mississippi Highway Patrol, Cleveland Police, Bolivar Sheriff's Department and the ATF responded to the scene.
Delta State later tweeted that police were clearing all campus buildings.
Students and staff could be seen spilling on to the streets on the outskirts of campus at about 1:30 p.m. Many were led into the Walter Sillers Coliseum, about a block away from the school. School officials said they were sending food, water and counselors to the arena.
The nearly one dozen schools within the Cleveland School District were also placed on lockdown as a precaution, a district spokeswoman said.
Delta State classes were canceled through Tuesday, but counselors would be on campus on Tuesday, according to a statement from the school.
Taylor Blue, a freshman at the school, said she woke up Monday to a text message saying the school was on lockdown.
"I was scared to death," Blue, 18, told NBC News. She said she thought the campus was safe. "It's such a homey atmosphere, and I never thought this would happen," she said.
Blue was still on lockdown in her dorm room at 1 p.m. Monday, and said she didn't know where her roommate was. She said she was relieved that she was able to let her family know she was unharmed right away.
"My mom called me in a panic. My sister called me hysterically crying," Blue said. "My entire family is really worrying right now."
More than 4,000 students attend the university, which is near the Arkansas-Mississippi border.
"We are grieving on this campus with this loss, and our condolences are with the family at this time," Michelle Roberts, the vice president of university relations, said in a statement.
Delta State English professor Don Mitchell said Schmidt was "a wonderful family man."
"He was a great scholar, a great friend and a gentleman in every sense of the word," Mitchell told NBC News. "We are heartbroken, especially for his family and three children."
"He's just the all-around good guy," said Schmidt's aunt, Barbara Schmidt Unruh, from the professor's hometown of Peabody, Kansas. "He was the best family man I have ever known," she added. "He would do anything for his family."

Topic: TWDT 3.23.14
Author: ThumperTDC
Posted: 03/27/2014 6:16:18 PM
It as a nice day out this past Sunday and what better way for a two wheeled dirt therapy session.
TWDT 3 23 14 short
A nice early spring day means only one thing, two wheeled dirt therapy
Onboard for one lap of my private trails that are so close to being completely cleared for the year.
I have to say the turn at 1:27 in the edited version has to be my favorite pare of the 3.5 mile loop as I have recently just mastered this tight 180 degree turn. Before it was always having to bounce the front off of the tree. If you are curious as to how I figured this out, check out this video to show you the technique I have discovered to work really well for this.
The trails I have built at my inlaws are brutal, tighter than stuff I have ridden else where, but its the things like the 180 degree and mastering it are why I built it the way I did
Reply by OffRoadney on 01/24/2016 7:26:35 PM
nice! where's this trail located?
Reply by Admin on 01/26/2016 12:05:20 PM
I believe that's Tillamook State Forest in Oregon.

More often than not, Rita Ora looks a million dollars, but sometimes, she kind of looks like she's not from this planet.
The singer and actress was sporting a unique Adidas Originals design jumper, skirt AND leggings in black and white while out with boyfriend Ricky Hil this week and just looking at her outfit gave us a bit of a headache.
Rita matched her eye-popping attire with a pair of 'flatform' black and white shoes, black shades and a beanie hat as she strolled through LAX airport in Los Angeles on Saturday wearing pink lips.
She has her own collaborative range out with Adidas Originals and it seems as though her wardrobe doesn't have a lot else in it but her own designs, which she models EVERYWHERE.
The 23-year-old star, who was clearly trying to keep a low profile and failing miserably, was with her green-haired beau, who stood out just as much as his girlfriend with his bright locks, tattoos, baggy tracksuit bottoms and black bomber jacket.
Just in case the paps didn't spot her at the airport, Rita also took to Twitter to let fans known she was popping over the pond, posting simply: "Bye. See you soon LA."
Before Reets headed over to El-Lay, she headed to a tattoo studio with DJ pal Nick Grimshaw to get inked AGAIN and decided to wear a fun Mickey Mouse hat for the visit.
The blonde star was spotted getting a new design on London's Portobello Road on Friday, and although we haven't been able to see what she got yet on her lower right arm, it adds to her collection, which also includes a ballerina and a massive drawing of an Alberto Vargas pinup girl.
She's obviously still got the tattoo bug, then.

This year has been particularly wet, dark and grueling for us in the Pacific Northwest. So when my friend, Cori, said she was going to be in Barcelona for work, I jumped at the opportunity for an international trip! Our goal was to spend a week surfing and relaxing on a warm beach. We ended up choosing the Lazarote, an island of the Canary Islands.
Before meeting up with Cori on Lanzarote, I decided to spend three days in Barcelona solo, exploring the city and seeing the museums. Basically took myself on a 3-day art date through Barcelona to see the Fundacion de Juan Miro, the Contemporary Art Museum, and Sagrada Familia. I packed my overalls as to best stuff myself with tapas and red wine.
After three days of roaming the streets and museums of Barcelona I was pretty exhausted and ready to head to the islands. I jumped on a plane and took a 3-hour flight to Lanzarote—an island of the Canaries, located off the coast of Morocco.
Lanzarote, similar to islands in Hawaii, is a volcanic island. Just 300 years ago, a series of volcanic eruptions lasted for 6 years, dramatically changing the island. Even though that seems like a long time ago, I imagine it takes a long time for an environment to blossom from molten rock and fire. At first glance, the island looks like a desert. But the longer you spend on the island, you start to notice all the different sorts of vegetation braving the intense wind and sun. Everything was very low to the ground—even the palm trees were short and squat. You can tell the island endures a lot of wind throughout the year.
I've been getting in the habit of making short videos of trips. They are so much fun to look back on. Moving pictures transport you back to that moment and place so much more vividly than a photo. So here's a little thing I made of this trip :)

How to Troubleshoot the Electrical System in a Ford Focusby Contributor
The Ford Focus appeals to people who like what "Ford" stands for, but who still want an economy car to combat rising gas prices. The Focus fits the bill on many levels. Its electrical system runs about average, which means the longer you own one, the more electrical problems you're likely to see. Most of them are a quick fit.
Step 1
Check the relay for the air conditioning if you're not getting any air through your vents. If it checks out and you have Freon, look at the low pressure switch on the air conditioning system. A bad lower pressure switch causes the compressor clutch to shut down.
Step 2
Look in the resistor network of the blower module instead of the fuses when you get air on one setting, but not the others. Most likely, your Focus has a blown thermal fuse. If you're adept at auto repairs to the blower motor, you might be able to do this repair yourself.
Step 3
Consider a water leak in the Climate Control Heater Blower Motor Case if you have a Ford Focus from 2000 to 2003. Models from those years occasionally have problems with leaks. The cowl area needs to be sealed.
Step 4
Reset your car's computer if you've made a fix, but the warning light continues to come on. You'll need to remove the battery cable from the connector for at least 30 seconds to reset the computer. The Ford Focus sometimes gives off faulty warnings that can lead to costly trips to the mechanic to find out why a warning light is on.
Listen for a click when you try to start your Ford Focus and fail. It's a sound car owners dread hearing because it often means an alternator needs replacing, often a costly repair. First, check that connections are clean, tight and rust free. Also, a loose alternator belt won't charge.
- If you do need to replace your alternator, look at purchasing a rebuilt one for less money.

The Wapping Group is somewhat curious. Originally formed to record the River Thames and shipping in the Port of London (at Wapping). Its members have continued to meet since 1946 to paint the River Thames "en plein air" from Henley, along the banks of the Thames and out to its estuary in Essex and Kent .
|Paintings by Paul Banning and Derek Daniells
I'm not quite sure what they mean by "statutory" as it normally means "required, permitted, or enacted by statute". I'm not quite sure what law deemed 25 members sufficient.... Maybe the word they mean is 'maximum'?
|Paintings by Trevor Chamberlain and looking through the two more galleries of paintings
|This wall included pastel paintings by Rick Holmes
|Winter light, Isleworth by Graham Davies SOLD
- the painting of some of the older members is not what it was in the past
- they have three candidates up for membership - Chris Burdett, Graham Davies and John Walsom - each with three paintings in the exhibition. I was particularly impressed with the paintings of Chris Davies who seemed to capture the soft vaporous colours of the riverside.
- there's rather a lot of views of London - of places away from the River.
|Paintings by Bert Wright and Sidney Cardew
|Paintings by Alan Runagall
- painting the River Thames
- the boats seen along the river,
- the land and buildings on the banks of the river and
- some of the people and places associated with river activities.
That gives lots of scope for a great exhibition. There's really no need for paintings of soldiers marching or the streets of the City of London.
Maybe the Group needs a new rule which says something along the lines that the maximum submission by any member of anything away from the River and river activities should be limited to one per member?
|Paintings by John Killens and Michael Richardson

ring in the changes….
So I didn't make any New Year Resolutions even though I probably should have! Queen Michelle is trying to cut out sugar, must email her this morning and see how that is going?
Needless to say everywhere you look there are articles about fitness, diet and endless gadgets and gear to help you get in shape. I normally ignore them all, the way I ignore people who tell me I should eat less bread ( which I really know I should) But the the Motiv Activity Tracker Ring did catch my eye . I must confess the fact that it is made of titanium is probably what did the trick!!!
Much better than a lumpy watch or wristband, The Motiv is an ultralight titanium ring equipped with many of the same health monitoring features as its wristband counterparts: optical heart rate sensor for exercise and sleep monitoring, a 3-axis accelerometer, Bluetooth connectivity, and waterproof construction. All this tech in a simple ring band design available in either Slate Gray or Rose Gold finish.
Each 90 minute charge using an included plug-in USB magnetic charger is rated to last 3-5 days, with the addition of a keychain charger for travel.
The Motiv Activity Tracker Ring works in conjunction with an app to display the wearer's resting heart rate, steps taken, calories burned, and quality sleep throughout the night.
It will be available this spring, with pre-ordering available today for $199.
It's pretty and it's clever but am I really tempted?
No. Now pass me that plain loaf, I think there is an outsider left in there just begging for the toaster...

Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said today he was uneasy over a massive US-Saudi arms deal announced at the weekend, saying it was part of a "crazy" regional arms race.
Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said today he was uneasy over a massive US-Saudi arms deal announced at the weekend, saying it was part of a "crazy" regional arms race. In the first public comment by an Israeli official on the USD 110-billion US sale of ships, tanks and the latest anti- missile systems to the kingdom, Lieberman said he had expressed his concerns in recent talks with US National Security Advisor HR McMaster. "I'm not at peace with any arms race and the huge Saudi purchase for sure doesn't add much to our peace of mind," he said in an interview with Israeli army radio.
"I'm not at peace with the whole arms race in the Middle East," he added. "It's not just the Saudis, its also the Emirates, also the Qataris, also the Iranians; they are all acquiring weapons." "Weapons deals in the Middle East just in 2016 reached USD 215-216 billion and this is no small sum," Lieberman said. "It needs to be understood that there is a crazy arms race going on, the amount of arms all the players in the region are acquiring and the desire to produce weapons in places like Yemen and Lebanon." The Saudi deal, to be phased over 10 years, was announced on Saturday as US President Donald Trump began a two-day visit to the Gulf state before travelling on to Israel.
Also Watch:
US administration officials say it is the biggest single arms deal in American history. Nevertheless, Lieberman said, "We are following developments and are aware and have ways of dealing with this." The White House said that in talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday, "President Trump underscored the United States' ironclad commitment to Israel's security, including to the maintenance of Israel's qualitative military edge."
The thrust of the deal with Riyadh aims to help the Saudi military bolster its defences to deter bitter rival Iran and its missile programme, which Netanyahu has said potentially poses an existential threat to the Jewish state. During his trip, Trump pitched the idea of a coalition of Sunni Arab states against Iran and "Islamic extremism" and said Israel could find a communality of interest with such a grouping.

On the London-Tel Aviv leg of my flight on Tuesday, I was sitting next to a Leftist, professor-looking type (so I conclude from the facts that he spoke unaccented Hebrew, read English and had a very different meal than mine) who was reading an article in the Financial Times about Britain's intent to become the largest Islamic banking center in the world outside the Middle East.

Douglas A. McIntyre can be reached at [email protected] He does not own securities in companies that he writes about. I won't even go into how this also destabilizes a market on a stock and the related companies. Shares of InterContinental Exchange (ICE) have traded in a $93.90 to $98.45 range today and shares of Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) have traded in a $533.50 to $546.98 range today. Toyota, Honda, VW, Nissan, Ford, Daimler and a pack of other companies want the share as much as GM does. Why Thomson would market a phone exclusively with one of the smaller VoIP companies is puzzling.
After early service like Ebay's Skype and Vonage signed on millions of customers, the cable companies (especially Comcast and Time Warner) found the ViOP was a good way to steal customers from their telecom competitors. He's probably right – outsourcing to China is reducing and some American companies are reopening or building new production facities.
The Wall Street Journal also writes that a study by Harvard and Cornell indicates that 850 CEOs of public companies received incorrectly dated options which increased their pay an average of over 10%. However, it's not clear that those will actually appear on the books of manufacturing companies, since many facilities are built and leased by other companies.

It's a Small (small) Thing
It's mostly, like, functional, and not really rhetorical at all, but I'm still proud that I managed to sneak a set of parentheses-inside-parentheses into a somewhat official-looking (and actually, like, you know, official) blurb at the place where you can buy tickets for one of O, Miami's many wonderful poetry events (I'm actually quite proud of the programming on this one ("
Competitive Political violence! That's why you're here!")).

Last week I discussed my SoFoBoMo 2011 project, a photo book titled Treasure Pond. It is available at the SoFoBoMo site, and also as a Blurb version.
In the above photograph you see all the photo books I have made so far using the Blurb service. If you want to know more about making photo books, see my instructions page.
It took some time for the printed Blurb book to arrive. I got the shipping confirmation on Monday, July 18th, and the book arrived on Friday, July 22nd. Last year the delivery was much faster - I got the shipment the next day after receiving the shipping confirmation. I guess the "priority" delivery isn't so priority after all (it is the cheapest option).
The quality was as expected, not big surprises. Some things need to be improved next time, if there is one, for example I forgot to check the placement of the matrix barcode on the back cover, and it was overlapping with the last character of the text there. And the placement of the title text should have been a bit further away from the gutter.
The image quality was good - I was using the premium "lustre" option - and there were no physical blemishes in the printed book.
The photographs of course could have been better; maybe I should have deleted a dozen more. However, I have often felt a bit of disappointment after looking at the printed copy of the finished work.
It is good to let the book rest a bit and only then make an appraisal. The SoFoBoMo books from last year seem now much better than they felt right after the event.
Anyway, I like the Blurb service, as the output seems to be of reliable high quality. If I were making individual prints then there would be room for much more finetuning regarding the print quality, but for making a photo book, the Blurb service works fine. (Especially given my radically simple jpeg workflow.) And despite that there was a little bit of extra work needed with Blurb, I think it isn't such a big deal.

Juha, during the weekend I finally got around reading the pdf version of your book. A fine work it certainly is, despite your own critical remarks. I regard it as consistent, well put together with your texts, and it is exactly of the kind of books that I enjoy: Amazed about the wonders in one's own neighbourhood, yet sober and poetic but without all that sweetness and romanticism that makes so many landscape books hard to digest.

Did you know that Halton's waste audits show that seven per cent of the average garbage bag contains textiles such as clothing and linens? There are several options that exist right in our own community to reuse and recycle these materials instead of sending them to the landfill.
Clothing in good condition can be donated to local charities for reuse. Some of the donated clothing is distributed free of charge to people in need including women's shelters. Other clothing is distributed to second-hand stores operated by the charities, where it will be re-sold for others to use and enjoy. Visit www.halton.ca/reuse for a list of local reuse charities.
Old clothing and linens can also easily be recycled into new items such as backpacks, hand bags, laptop covers, quilts and blankets. Ripped and stained clothing can also be recycled with some organizations and turned into industrial cleaning rags or shredded to become the filler for car seats. Please remember to contact the organizations directly to determine which items they are willing to accept.
Let's all do our part to reuse and recycle old clothing and linens. Working together we can all help to extend the life of Halton's landfill site, support local charities with their fundraising and help those in need.
To learn more about how a local organization called Clothing For Charity Ltd. reuses and recycles used textiles in Halton Region take a look at this three minute video blog from Halton's Waste Management Program. You can also follow Waste Management on Twitter @HaltonRecycles.
As always, if you have any Regional concerns or comments you would like to share, please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also find me on Twitter @garycarrhalton or on Facebook.

The first thing to do if you see a homeless person in Nottingham is to contact the Street Outreach Team who can offer front line help and support.
If you see a homeless person in Nottingham, the first thing you should do is report this to the Framework's Street Outreach Team, who are at the front line of the fight against rough sleeping and homelessness.
Framework's Street Outreach Team serves two main purposes: to engage with and help rough sleepers and to quantify the extent of street homelessness in partnership with other agencies such as local authorities. They work to offer help to those that need it most to address the often complex needs of individuals which lead to homelessness.
The team actively looks for rough sleepers in known hotspots, but they cannot possibly find everyone in need of help, which is why it is important that members of the public contact the team to report any homeless people that they see.

Edge of Tomorrow (Doug Liman, 2014)
In Oliver Stone's Born on the Fourth of July, Tom Cruise plays Ron Kovic. Failing to win a critical wrestling match, Kovic looks to enlist in the military as a means of reasserting his masculinity and redefining his standing in his small suburban neighborhood. It's the beginning of the Vietnam War and Kovic looks to fulfill the narrative that defined his forefathers - to defend a national ideal that he loves. His identity is tied to his family, his neighborhood, and the perpetuation of a cultural embrace of the patriotic. But his identity is compromised when, after a paralyzing injury, Kovic feels like an outsider in his home and country. The film's central narrative, where a man embraces the ideals of one particular identity only to see it compromised, is also explored in Doug Liman's Edge of Tomorrow - a Tom Cruise vehicle of unexpected gravitas.
This time around, Tom Cruise plays Officer Cage. He's a media relations coordinator who attempts to rationalize a Normandy raid against an alien foe that could result in massive international causalities. He's successful in gathering the public trust, though is advised by his commanding officer that he will be on the front lines. Cage is not an especially likable figure from the start: he attempts to weasel his way out of the situation through blackmail. But those efforts are largely unsuccessful as he's detained and thrown into the battlefield. With no experience manning a newly developed military body suit, his first trip to Normandy is an exercise in visual and audial digestion; he looks upon the chaos of war with the same sort of terrified reserve that we saw him employ as Kovic in Born on the Fourth of July when combating enemy forces.
The primary narrative conceit to the Edge of Tomorrow sees Cage relive this day of combat. It's a genuinely terrifying exploration on the nature of death in relation to the battlefield, though it grounds the physical horror amid a more lax humanistic perspective. That's to say, this isn't quite as cerebral as one would expect, opting instead to observe Cruise's celebrity as more of a figure of growing human integrity. Cage interacts with Rita (Emily Blunt), a soldier who once had the same ability to relive the day. She aids Cage in developing as a soldier, ultimately helping him progress on the battlefield.
Edge of Tomorrow's screenplay, from a triad of Liman and Cruise regulars adapting Hiroshi Sakurazaka's graphic novel, avoids overanalyzing its mechanics, opting instead to treat the material with a measure of good humor. The film tinkers with methods of exposition and how it's expressed to audiences. For example, a farmhouse sequence between Rita and Cage is offered a measure of unexpected sensitivity when it's revealed that Cage has already relived this specific day; he's simply looking to make the day last a little longer with a partner that he's grown attached to. The audience is placed in Rita's position: we were unaware that Cage had lived this day previously and are taken aback by what Cage knows about the day. Other sequences, such as when Cage retreats from the base camp and takes to a tavern in London, expands the narrative scope by capturing the depressed and haggard mental state of its perpetually dying main character as well as seeing how his actions can carry significant weight outside of the battlefield.
Cruise is critical in the central role. From his initial reluctance to his acceptance of fate all register as convincing moments of self-revelation. His performance recalls the physicality of Buster Keaton and the humanistic warmth of Charlie Chaplin - it's one of Cruise's most accomplished efforts. The film's final sequence, a final relived moment, borrows from Charlie Chaplin's City Lights. It's an unexpected but appropriate final scene that exists according to its mantra: learn from your past.

Things you Should Know about Essential Oils
Essential oils are highly concentrated liquids which are extracted from parts of a tree or other plants, and it is done using the various methods of extraction.
Many people know of the essential oils since they are abundant in the market and they actually think they know everything about them and any person trying to teach about them is just informing them of what they already do. You will not have an option other than choosing the best essential oils which will work for the purpose you are buying them for because if you make a mistake or allow the seller to deceive you, you might get some problems which come with the wrong use of the oils.
Most of these oils have some definite shelf life and therefore they are required to be stored in a place where it is best for them and sold within the time they are supposed to. The Amount you get for the essential oils is dependent on many factors most of them being related to the ways of extraction as well as what are the elements about the plant where they were gotten from like how can one get the plant how it is grown and so many other things.
Making the essential oils from a rose is costly, and people know that because rose flower is rare and at the same time a rose flower will produce tiny amounts such that you will require a lot of the flowers to make a sum that is needed for sale. Every time one is considering buying the fuels they are supposed to ensure that they will get is good quality and therefore carrying out some of the tests to ensure they don't get the fake oils.
Every a person know that when people are dealing with some significant things from their bodies that will need the use of essential oils they should be aware of the specific need and not generalize in terms of the products from a particular plant. People who know what they need will make sure that they allow themselves to get training on the essential oils since even though many people consider natural to be gentle it can be the other way round, and therefore one needs to be keen. Some of the oils should not be used by people who are in some conditions that are not good for their body like high blood pressure, and therefore one thing they need is to ensure they are open to people selling the oils so as to get the right one for their body with that condition.

Want to elope to Paris and looking for more information ? This blog post is for you!
How much does an elopement in Paris cost? Where in Paris should you have your vows exchange ceremony? Which packages do you offer? These and other questions are answered below!
Elopements in Paris are always amazing! The city of lights becomes your natural and free backdrop for fantastic wedding photos, ice cold champagne is particularly tasty here and French patisserie is really irresistible. Yet, there are some details that you need to take into consideration when booking your elopement planning service in Paris.
5 good reasons to book a private venue for your elopement and vows exchange ceremony in Paris
Trocadero square and other free public locations seem ideal for an intimate vows exchange ceremony, so why pay more for a private venue hire? The answer is simple, yet invisible on most of those gorgeous photos you see on Instagram.
First, if you want to have your ceremony in a public place, you will probably have to wake up very early. Most ceremonies start at 7-8 am, which means that you will need to start your make-up and hair preparation as early as 5-6 am. It is up to you to decide whether you want to start your special day that early.
Second, Paris is a lively city with its noises, odors, and residents. Some of them are nice, some of them are not. It happens from time to time that some local weirdos make it impossible for a photographer to work. They obstruct the view, swear loudly or just wander around your bags making you feel really uncomfortable. Luckily, it doesn't happen all the time, but it happens and you don't want it to happen to you!
Third, the thing that you don't see on pictures taken from Trocadero square, is that there are easily eight to twelve photographers and couples doing photos at the same time! It doesn't really impact the quality of photos, as photographers are very respectful (and they often know each other) and they always try to let others taking photos without obstructing the view. Nevertheless, when you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience, you don't want to be a couple among others doing exactly the same thing. Having your own venue will make your photos and most importantly your experience absolutely unique.
Forth, there are loads of events taking place in Paris every year. You might have planned a ceremony with the view on the Eiffel tower, but if the local administration decides to organize a marathon on this day, you will need to find a B plan urgently, as the public place of your choice might be inaccessible.
Having a private venue takes off all the inconveniences mentioned above. You can have your ceremony at any time of the day (think of a beautiful sunset or early twilight) and you don't have to wake up at 5 am to get ready. It means that you will still be having a fresh make-up and hairstyle for your celebratory dinner, and most importantly, you won't be tired (waking up at 5 am and staying awake till your late night dinner is a challenge, believe me). Besides, having a private place means that your ceremony is really private. No passers-by, no tourists, no other couples. Just you two and your team of assistants (I mean your photographer, celebrant, and musician).
Choosing to have a private venue for your elopement in Paris also means that you can create a truly unique atmosphere. Dreaming about a champagne table for two with loads of flowers and candles? Or perhaps a massive floral decoration to sublime your special moment and make it look incredible? Maybe you want to have a tailor-made decoration designed and installed for you? It is only possible when you have a private place. Yes, there are photos on Instagram of tables for two being installed right opposite the Eiffel tower, but what you don't see on photos, is that they are installed on the parking slot! (or near the bridge that some people use as lavatories…)
Even though your pictures will look amazing anyway, it is impossible to get the same experience without booking a private venue. It doesn't have to be super expensive, there are interesting offers available at reasonable prices, like 1-2k€ and gorgeous spots at 3-5k€. Elopement, even though it is often celebrated in a romantic tête-à-tête or in a small company, is still a lifetime event, so don't take a risk of trying to save on your unique experience.
Which budget for an elopement in Paris?
Let's talk about your elopement budget now. At So Special Events, we adjust our offer to fit in your financial requirements, but to give you an idea of the price, you can expect it to vary from around 2700€ to 8000€. The bigger is the budget you are allocating to your elopement planning in Paris, the more extraordinary and authentic your experience will be.
For example, the 2700€ price will include the photo shoot, bridal make-up and hairstyle, bridal bouquet and boutonniere, planning fees and your celebrant's services. An offer at 8000€ will provide you a more unique experience and will cover the following: photography, wedding film, private venue hire, floral decoration of your ceremony, bridal bouquet and boutonniere, make-up and hair artist's services, musician, small wedding cake, as well as planning and celebrant's fees. It will also allow you to upgrade and choose trendier wedding professionals.
