Roy Hodgson who is the head coach of England national team has said that he is not in the support of penalties till after the group stages are completed during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
He also insisted that he is not in the position to be the burden payer of the England players. Roy who is now 66 years old is optimistic that there will be no more injury cases at the premier league especially as the season comes to its climax.
Hodgson is also said to be naming his squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup this coming Monday. England national team is known to have a very miserable history of penalties that dates back into the Italia 90.
Hodgson's team has to date only won 1 tournament through penalties out of 7. The England manager has however said that the penalty matter will be discussed into details only after his team qualifies in the knockout levels.
When he was interviewed, Hodgson said that the penalties issue bores him a lot and its discussion is scheduled only after a certain condition is met.
He however said that they won't stop practicing a few during the training sessions although it has a negative attitude due to the history they have had for years now. He adds that getting into the penalties should be avoided at all cost so as to do away with this big problem.
Hodgson also appointed the team psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters whom he says has not been recruited with penalties in mind. He therefore said that if they lose or record victory through penalties, Peters will have nothing to do with this.
Roy also says that he won't force the players in his squad to be meeting the psychiatrist when they will be in Brazil. Hodgson further added that he has a team of players who are open minded and very curios.

Let's face it; you may be the best massage therapist in town, however your talent will be wasted (and your pockets will be empty) if no one knows that you exist.
But wait - I have GOOD NEWS!
There are countless simple, effective and low-cost ways for you to promote your massage therapy services without going broke in the process.
Here's ten fast and easy ways to get you started:
1. Always be prepared with an "elevator speech". When you meet new people talk about the benefits associated with receiving a massage - NOT the actual techniques you use to achieve the outcome. In a nutshell, let prospective clients know how solve their problems, not how you do it.
2. Network often and set goals. When attending events, workshops or meetings, don't sit by people you know. The point is to meet new people! Make a goal of meeting 3-5 new people at each event. The key to effective networking is to build relationships and be interested in others; get their business cards and ask questions about their business.
3. Joining various clubs or groups is another way to promote your massage business. Every community has numerous organizations, such as a chamber of commerce, Rotary, BNI (Business Network International), that are excellent places to meet people and talk about what you do. But don't join if you are not going to participate. Simply being on a group's mailing list will not help you build the kind of relationships that generate sales or promote interest in your business.
4. A great way to meet people is to volunteer in your community. Other volunteers will generally ask what you do. Wearing a shirt with your business name will be a reminder of the services you provide. (And don't forget to make use of your massage chair)!
5. Teach a class through the local community education program. Community education programs attract people throughout your service area. Doing this will help you make contacts and also establish you as an expert in your field.
6. Ask for referrals! There is nothing wrong with asking your current clients if they know of others who might benefit from your massage therapy services. You might consider creating a "refer a friend" discount coupon for your clients to give to friends and family.
7. Create strategic alliances with other professionals with non-competing businesses. As a massage therapist you may want to develop a relationship with a chiropractor, a reflexologist or a personal trainer for example. Anyone who shares your target market would be a great candidate.
8. Write a press release announcing your new business, advanced certifications or to let the community know about an industry conference you've recently attended. Most newspapers have a business section and they are always looking for stories on local small businesses.
9. Take advantage of your e-mail. You never know where you emails are going to end up. Make sure to include a 'signature line' in your e-mail that includes your business contact information including a website if you have one.
10. Establish a website presence. Today people surf the web for information on almost all the products and services they buy. For just a few dollars you can post a tremendous amount of information about your services, background and expertise on a basic website.
The bottom line is this; marketing your massage business will definitely require some time and creativity, but it doesn't mean you need to spend a ton of money.
Put these marketing tips into action today and watch your appointment book soon fill up!

And more importantly, how can you use this to help with characterization?
I'm an old soul. At least that's the one thing I can identify with. I've known it since I was in grade school…since I could conceptualize what a soul was…or at least that's what I recall. It started small, like only being able to relate with older peers better instead ones my own age and always feeling a gap with classmates.
I liked people, but would always be slightly disappointed when they didn't 'get' me.
This continued on throughout high school and still happens even now. I've come to peace with the fact that most people will never 'get' me, but on different levels, I connect with almost every person I come in contact with on a lighter level…not a true friend level, but a kindness level that allows me to care without knowing every detail of their lives. I do, however, feel a general responsibility for everyone in my life. Whether we are close or not, I still care.
I'm often times asked for advice. When that happens, I look at the whole picture and hope that I advise them wisely. As…"Wise beyond my years" was the term I heard the most…and that was from the elderly peers that I had contact with.
If you look up 'old soul' you will most definitely find a reference to reincarnation. That somehow the souls that have passed before you affect your genetic make up even before you're born.
Much like others are born to be great athletes or others mathematicians…some people are born to be old. And they instill traditions from the past onto others naturally throughout their actions and conversations sometimes without being environmentally conditioned to do so. Which I guess speaks loudly of some kind of past life interference, but who knows right?
All I know is that I'm the youngest of five and have never felt like the youngest member of the family due to the sense of responsibility I've felt for everyone. I am both an introvert and an extrovert. I like being around people, yet like being alone. I feel like I need that balance in order to naturally see the whole spectrum. I strive to respect everything around me.
The only other tidbit I can give is that I love soul music. Sam Cooke especially. Not that it's a trademark of an old soul, but I would be willing to bet that anyone who claims they are one, does in fact, like soul music.
So how can you use this information when building character sketches? How can this manipulate how your MC thinks, feels, and reacts? Well, for one, old souls can be any person…so no matter what their stereotype is, the old soul will win out every time, so you have some freedom to play with those characteristics. Old souls are grounded. They don't look to others to influence their own self worth. If you create an old soul, you can have a mature character who may not always act mature, but sees the bigger picture.
I would be interested in hearing anyone else's comments on the subject. Or if they know of anyone who fits the bill to please share.

Report: Howard to meet with Rockets
The Houston Rockets will have the first shot at the Dwight Howard sweepstakes.
The team will send a sizable contingent to meet with the Lakers forward shortly after free agency opens at 12:01 a.m. Monday morning, a "source with knowledge of the meeting" told ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman.
Houston's wooing party will reportedly include general manager Daryl Morey, coach Kevin McHale, owner Les Alexander, Rockets legend Hakeem Olajuwon and current players James Harden and Chandler Parsons. The Rockets are considered a favorite to land the seven-time All-Star, as are the Mavericks, who will send owner Mark Cuban and star forward Dirk Nowitzki to meet with Howard on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Chris Broussard.
Broussard also reports that it is unlikely Howard will re-sign with Los Angeles, where he has spent just one season. Howard will also reportedly sit down with the Hawks and Warriors early this week before finally meeting with the Lakers. The 27-year-old led the NBA in rebounding this season (12.4 per game) but finished with his lowest scoring average (17.1 points per game) since 2005-06 — his second season in the league.

There's been more fallout on Capitol Hill over the accusations by several women that Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore made unwanted sexual contact with them when they were teens.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said at a news conference on Tuesday that Moore "should step aside" before next month's special election, joining the top Republican in the Senate, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and several other GOP lawmakers in urging Moore quit the race.
Ryan told reporters, "Number one, these allegations are credible. Number two, if he cares about the values and the people he claims to care about, then he should step aside."
Five women have now publicly accused Moore of making unwanted sexual advances. Moore has denied the accusations, and so far refused to remove himself from the campaign for the special election scheduled for December 12th.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who vacated the seat that Moore is a candidate for, was asked about the accusations at a House Judiciary Committee hearing and said, "I have no reason to doubt these young women."
Republicans fear the effect Moore's candidacy may have on other GOP candidates in next year's midterm elections, but have few options available if Moore remains in the Alabama race.
Sessions has been floated as the most likely person to pull off a write-in candidacy since it is too late to remove Moore from the ballot ahead of the Dec. 12 election. It's not at all clear that Sessions would be interested in going back to his old job.
The head of the Republican's Senate campaign committee, Colorado Sen. Corey Gardner, has called for expelling Moore if he wins.
But there is no modern precedent for such a move. It would first require an investigation by the Senate Ethics Committee, and it's unclear if the panel would have any jurisdiction over something that happened before a Senator was elected.
Republicans acknowledge there may be no legal or constitutional basis to deny Moore a seat in the Senate if he wins next month. President Trump has yet to weigh in on the controversy surrounding Moore. He arrives back in Washington late Tuesday night from a trip through East Asia.

A brief summary of MAF
MAF is a sugar protein that acts as a Macrophage Activating Factor (MAF) in the immune system. It is part of the Active Vitamin D Molecule (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3), produced in the liver, is completely natural and the body expects it. Over 57 research papers have been published that demonstrate GcMAF activates Macrophages in both in vivo and in vitro studies
Macrophages – The 'Big Eaters'
Macrophages function in both non-specific defense (innate immunity) as well as help initiate specific defence mechanisms (adaptive immunity) of vertebrate animals. Their role is to phagocytise (engulf and then digest) cellular debris and pathogens, either as stationary or as mobile cells. They also stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to pathogens. They are specialized phagocytic cells that attack foreign substances, infectious microbes and cancer cells through destruction and ingestion.
Nagalase – collapsing the immune system.
In order to defeat the immune system and be able to grow and spread unchecked, cancers and many viruses secrete an enzyme called Nagalase which prevents the human body from producing its own MAF. At a biological level the human body is constantly under attack so there is an excepted 'normal' level at 0.65 nmol/mg. Levels above 0.65 nmol/mg indicate the immune system may have been compromised and the macrophages are not activated.
85% of autistic children are found to have high levels of Nagalase.
Nagalase's only purpose is to destroy GcMAF and this it does with great precision, time and time again with no other collateral damage. In this simple way Nagalase has been responsible for billions of deaths in human history.
MAF therapy
MAF is simply a protein replacement therapy, giving the body the protein it should be producing and expects.
Dr. Yamamoto's three studies showed that incredibly small weekly doses (100 billionths of a gram—an amount that is invisible to the naked eye) of GcMAF had cured early metastatic breast, prostate, and colon cancers in 100% of (non anaemic) patients. In a fourth paper, he used the same treatment to cure 100% of non anaemic HIV-infected patients.
More recently Dr Bradstreet & Dr Antonucci have performed MAF therapy on over 2000 autistic children with encouraging results. Over 85% have responded favourably to MAF and 15% of these have lost the label of autism altogether
Nagalase Testing
A normal Nagalase level in a healthy adult is around 0.65 nmol/mg, and at this level the Nagalase does not interfere with the body's own ability to generate GcMAF.
Anybody with a reading of 1 or over may have a compromised immune system, but bear in mind that this enzyme fluctuates as viruses flourish and are beaten. Two or more test may be necessary to overcome short term fluctuation.
Nagalase was initially thought to be an indicator for cancer, but because it is generated by many other pathogens, it is a really an indicator of a depressed immune system. However, the level of Nagalase does drop when cancer tumour burdens are reduced, and when viruses are defeated, so it is a good indicator of the beneficial interaction of exogenous GcMAF within immunotherapy.
It is recommended that a Nagalase test is taken before commencing GcMAF and then monitored every 8 weeks so that the GcMAF therapy can be stopped when levels return to normal.
MAF and Autism
In August 2011, Dr Bradstreet, an autism specialist in the USA, made the discovery that his autistic patients have a higher than normal level of Nagalase. Because Nagalase is not a test that is routinely done, he was the first person to make the connection that, perhaps, these patients were deficient in MAF.
He then commenced a small scale trial of 40 patients, ranging in ages between 1 and 21. The initial aim was to see if MAF would reduce the Nagalase levels. The average Nagalase level reading for this group at the start of the trail was 1.93, and at the end of the trial period of 14 weeks that had reduced to 1.03.
Apart from the likely immunological beneficial effects of lowering of Nagalase, substantial improvements in language, socialization and cognition were observed. Using the CGI scale, a scale for psychiatric interventions, this showed improvements in 85% of patients. 40% showed dramatic improvements, with 15% going on to lose the label of autism.
Whilst this report is not intended to be a nutritional guide, and for that a qualified nutritionalist should be sought, there are a few common sense guidelines that should help the efficacy of your immune system and MAF therapy.
The MAF molecule is part of the larger Vitamin D process, and to work effectively, sufficient levels of vitamin D should be available. The vitamin D that the body finds easiest to assimilate is that produced in sunlight on bare skin. Vitamin D3 drops or tablets should be taken where sunlight is deficient, up to 5000 iu per day. Vitamin D is a fat covered molecule so a healthy intake of good quality virgin oils such as olive, coconut or organic dairy produce will help the immune system.
Many autistic children suffer from intestinal problems, so a diet that excludes dairy and glucose products has been shown to offer relief from intestinal problems for many patients. However, certain probiotic yoghurt types can help to rebalance the intestinal flora, and one has been developed that ferments out the lactose and casein elements during production and includes healthy bacterial strains that will encourage the activation of macrophages via the intestinal tract. Good results have been seen by using the two variants of macrophage activation – the GcMAF and the maf yoghurt.
Using and Side effects of MAF
Autism is not limited to, but is the result of many viral and bacterial infections. An awakened immune system will deal with these pathogens in no particular order. Be aware, and make note of any immune responses such as low grade fevers and bacterial flare ups. These can be seen as a positive sign that the immune system is functioning. If the symptoms become aggravated then reduce the dosage of MAF.
With autism, it is best to start at a low dose, these symptoms should never be more than a headache, low grade fever, or flu like symptoms.
It is best to do this under the supervision of a doctor who is knowledgeable with MAF and its actions, but if this is not possible, there is a Facebook group called 'GcMAF' where many parents and patients share their knowledge and experiences.
MAF – moving forward
Although over 3000 patients are now using MAF, the mechanism by which it helps autism is still not fully understood. MAF is a complex and multi-faceted molecule, and much more than just a macrophage activating tool. It turns cancer cells back to normal cells. It activates the Vitamin D receptor pathways. It improves bone density. It works as an actin scavenger, cleaning the body of toxins.
The Nagalase improvements in the autism trial indicate that the viral load of the autistic patients decreases, so it is speculated that a reduction in the viral load creates a reduction in endotoxins which may explain some of the improvements in autistic behaviours.
They simply now have a clearer head, similar to no longer being intoxicated. In addition, there are three common alleles of GcProtein, and it may be that some variants of these may cause the GcMAF not to work on 15% of the population. This requires further study, as all humans need GcMAF, but some may need a different variation.

I am nut-so for NuttZo! Have you tried this stuff? Seriously the most addicting Nut-Butter I have ever tasted. Consider up-grading your almond butter friends since this has to the best thing next to heaven… creamy, crunchy and incredibly delicious.
I am kind of a NUT BUTTER addict! If you read this post, you'll know why. I mean seriously, how can a runner survive without their favorite nut butter?
Even if you're sensitive to nuts, sunflower seed butter or tahini butter make a great pre-run, or post-run snack, "don't you think?"
Recently I found this new NuttZo Power Fuel,
which I hide from my husband by the way, and I just can't get enough of it! I eat it by the spoonful, throw it in smoothies, stir it in oatmeal, stuff my dates, and of course, the famous sandwich! The crunchiness of the flax and chia seeds seriously take this stuff up a notch…or two. Bamn!
It's taken me awhile to make Protein bites with this stuff because I wasn't too keen on running out since most recipes for protein snacks require at least 1/2 cup. This is precious stuff and I didn't want to use it all up! However, since my stock pile is growing because I keep ordering it in case for some reason it is no longer available…GOD FORBID, I decided I could spare some for these tasty treats.
So next time you're in the mood to make protein bites, replace your nut-butter with Nuttzo Butter. I promise even your kiddos will love them. My Tuesday playmate happened to enjoy not only helping me, but couldn't wait to try one…or two.
Who am I kidding! I can never stop with just one either! ENJOY!
NUTTZO PROTEIN BITES (Serves: 16-17 bites)
- ½ cup NuttZo Butter
- 1 cup gluten free oats
- 4 or 5 dates (about 1/2 cup)
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ cup ground flax seeds
- ½ cup dark chocolate covered espresso beans or these
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of protein powder, I used the Shaklee Vegan Plain and Simple
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Soak your dates in Hot water for approximately 5 minutes. Drain and pit. Place the dates in a bowl of a food processor and process until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the NutttZo Butter, honey, and vanilla. Process again. Add the Espresso Beans, (or chocolate chips, or dark chocolate covered cocoa nibs), and flax seeds, process a few times just to break them up a little bit. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl.
- Add in the Shaklee Vegan Plain and Simple Energizing Life Shake and oats. Stir until everything is incorporated. This is where you get to play like a kid again and get your hands messy.
- Form the mixture into balls that are about 1 to 1½ inches. Store in the refrigerator for about a week or in the freezer for longer.

How To Track Stem Cells In The Body
Rice University researchers have synthesized a new and greatly improved generation of contrast agents for tagging and real-time tracking of stem cells in the body. The agent combines ultrashort carbon nanotubes and bismuth clusters that show up on X-rays taken with computed tomography (CT) scanners. The stable compound performs more than eight times better than the first-generation material introduced in 2013, according to the researchers.
"The primary application will be to track them in stem-cell therapies to see if the cells are attracted to the site of disease — for example, cancer — and in what concentration," said Rice chemist Lon Wilson of the compound the researchers call Bi4C@US-tubes.
"Magnetic resonance imaging is currently used for that purpose and it works quite well, but X-ray technology in the clinic is much more available," he said. "It's faster and cheaper, and it could facilitate preclinical studies to track stem cells in vivo."
Bismuth is used in cosmetics, pigments and pharmaceuticals, notably as the active ingredient in pink bismuth (aka Pepto-Bismol), an antacid. For this application, bismuth nanoclusters developed by the lab of Rice chemist Kenton Whitmire, a co-author of the paper, are combined with carbon nanotubes chemically treated to shorten them to between 20 and 80 nanometers and add defects to their side walls. The nanoclusters, which make up about 20 percent of the compound, appear to strongly attach to the nanotubes via these defects.
When introduced into stem cells, the treated nanotubes become easy to spot, Wilson said. "It's very interesting to see a cell culture that is opaque to X-rays. They're not as dark as bone (which X-rays cannot penetrate), but they're really dark when they're loaded with these agents."
The process developed by Wilson's team and colleagues at CHI St. Luke's Health-Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center and Baylor College of Medicine is detailed this month in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.

This post was inspired by the book "Offensive Countermeasures: The Art of Active Defenses" by Paul Asadoorian and John Strand, so if you like this post you should check out the book for more tricks.
Python is an extremely powerful scripting language that allows you to accomplished complex tasks in a few simple lines of code. This month PrimalSec created several scripts that can be used in Cyber competitions. All these tools are available via our Github: https://github.com/primalsecn/python_code/
Below is a quick overview of the tools we are releasing this month:
- iptrap.py – This tool listens on a port for connections and will automatically block any IP via Iptables that makes a full TCP connection.
- Flytrap.py / Flytrap.exe – Same idea of iptrap.py just ported over to work with Windows and compiled into a Portable Executable (PE).
- smbouncer.py- Scans targets for SMB vulnerabilities and automatically launches exploits via msfcli (MS08-067, and MS09-050) with a Meterpreter payload
iptrap.py is a tool that is designed to sit on the wire as a booby trap and block any IP that makes a full TCP connection to that port. Simple SYNs wont cause the script to create an iptables rule, but if you attempt to establish a full TCP connection, such as in the case as banner grabbing iptrap will block the IP. The idea here is you would have this listen on a port that is commonly scanned, but is a service that the host isn't offering. So if this host doesn't listen on 80 you could have iptrap sitting on port 80 waiting for a connection attempt. Below are screen shots of the tool in action:
In the example above iptrap.py was set to listen on port 4444 for incoming connections. Then we used netcat to make a quick connection to TCP 4444 to demonstrate how it will automatically block that IP address via an iptables rule. As you might imagine blocking the loopback address could be a problem, so we built in switches to white list IPs, list the current rules, and flush out the rules that were automatically added:
Flytrap.exe is essentially the iptrap.py script ported over for Windows. It can listen on a port specified via a command line switch and automatically block incoming connections using the built-in Windows firewall. Flytrap.exe is actually a Python script that is compiled into a Windows Portable Executable (PE) using PyInstaller. Later in this post we will demonstrate how you can compile Python scripts into PE files to make it more portable for Windows use. Flytrap.exe uses netsh advfirewall commands that were implemented in Windows Vista and newer, so it currently isn't designed to work on XP. Below is a screen shot demonstrating Flytrap.exe in action:
smbouncer.py is a tool that is designed for rapid enumeration and exploitation of Windows SMB vulnerabilities. It targets MS08-067 and MS09-050, which are extremely common vulnerabilities found in cyber competitions. Normally these can give you some quick wins to dump password hashes and pivot to other machines via Pass-the-Hash techniques. smbouncer.py bounces across the network looking for these Windows SMB vulnerabilities using Python-nmap and then launches an exploit at the service using msfcli with a Meterpreter reverse_tcp payload. Below is an example of setting a target with switch "-t" and a local address to bind the msf listener service with switch "-l":
This tool essentially uses the Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) script smb-check-vulns and it can be run with unsafe checks enabled with –unsafe. Just beware with the switch "–unsafe" you may DoS the service. Looking at the code you can see how you might apply this to other vulnerabilities and exploits:
You can setup Python-nmap to scan for a service and then based on its findings pass the relevant information to an exploit function to invoke msfcli. Alternatively, you could design your script to build a MSF resource file (.rc) and invoke that within msfconsole instead of launching the exploit using msfcli.
Generating Python Executables with PyInstaller –
First we must download the necessary dependencies, which include python (version 2.7 in this example), and in the case of windows, cygwin (or some other variant, we are using PyWin).
Linux: sudo apt-get install python2.7 build-essential python-dev zlib1g-dev upx
Windows: http://www.activestate.com/activepython (fully packaged installer file)
After downloading the necessary dependencies, we can download the current version of PyInstaller from the following link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyinstaller/files/2.0/pyinstaller-2.0.tar.bz2/download
After install –
Next we can run the following command to generate the python executable script: python pyintaller.py –options script/script.py
This will process the python script, pull the necessary import dependencies, and generate a new folder containing a script.txt, a script.spec, and a script.exe. The script.exe can now be used, and the .txt and .spec can be removed.
After building the executable –
The Python script has now been compiled into a Windows PE file and can be executed on Windows without using a Python interpreter. This allows you to more easily move your code between instances of Windows without worrying about dependencies.

My great aunt passed away in November at the age of 93. A wonderful woman we all loved dearly, she was my grandmother's only sister and her death came unexpectedly eighteen months after our beloved grams. We had fully expected to spend Thanksgiving with her but alas, it was not meant to be.
My great aunt had two very good friends, a married couple and the husband is the executor of her estate and my mom, her sister, my sister and I will be meeting them next week to go through my great aunt's things and bring home those things we want.
I'll admit it feels weird to go through someone's things after they're gone. It just feels like an invasion of privacy. My great aunt, if she was still here, would laugh it off. She was one of those individuals who felt very strongly, "You can't take it with you". Her Catholic faith was far much more important to her than any material object. She often asked us what of her things we wanted, and we just had a difficult time with that because well...how do you tell someone "I want this..." and "I want that...". However that's how she was and she was very close to the four of us and of course she adored her only nieces and wanted my mom and my aunt to have the things she cherished most as well as anything she possessed that they could use or would make their lives easier.
Most important to us above all are the family heirlooms, things that were passed down from my great grandmother and her family before her, items that came over from Sicily when my great grandmother emigrated to NYC in the late 1890s. These are things that mean a lot to us. And then comes the usual--kitchen items, garage, linens, furniture, odds and ends. My great aunt had a beautiful home and she and her husbands (her first, my dear great uncle died from Alzheimers after 58years of marriage and the second was Bill, a retired Navy Chief and dear man, who died of cancer a few years ago) had very nice things. And of course they could because they never had children! Seriously though, beautiful things don't mean anything to me. I'm more about sentimentality and functionality. I take great pride in things passed down through the family and I'm all about things you can use for your household, things that don't just look nice, but are functional. My great aunt, who was a very social woman who loved to host dinner parties, believed in both beauty and functionality and she was a very practical woman. She didn't believe in an item going to waste. She would want the things she used every day to go on and be used again and again until they were no longer functional.
Of all the things I could have of hers, what I really want---besides family heirlooms and her craft collection (my great aunt was a naturally-gifted artist!), the wall-mounted flat screen and a few other kitchen items and linens is her....
...bright red toaster oven and matching coffee pot!
Sounds crazy, right? Every appliance in her kitchen was bright red and I have not a single red appliance to my name. And that lipstick-red toaster oven and coffee pot (a red so bright it matched perfectly that red lipstick she and grams wore most of their lives) will look so completely out of place in my kitchen and yet every time I see them that I can't help but think of her. I'll think of the exact shade of toast she preferred, how precise she was about making the perfect cup of coffee, how meticulous she was about keep her appliances cleaned and maintained. Whatever other red things I can bring home, I will. And eventually I will probably wind up decorating my entire kitchen around those appliances.
And I'm sure my great aunt would've approved!
We all miss her very much and I've been dreading this trip because she died at home and the last time we saw her there, she was alive and then there's the awkwardness of dividing up her things. But I just have to keep in mind that yes, they are just things and if she could read this right now she'd laugh and dismiss my silly notions and reassure me as always,"you can't take it with you."

Arsenal are on the verge of suffering their sixth consecutive Champions League last 16 exit, after suffering a 2-0 home defeat to the might of Barcelona at the Emirates on Tuesday evening. The Gunners contained the majestic attacking trio of Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi for sustained periods, but Messi struck twice in the last 20 minutes, to give the European Champions an almost unassailable advantage heading into the second leg in three weeks.
Arsène Wenger lamented his side's 'naivety' after they were the victims of a clinical counter-attack from the Catalan giants, whilst the Arsenal boss also labelled them as 'technically average' in an uncharacteristic public chastening of his side. In his pre-match press conference, Wenger emphasised the importance of keeping a home clean sheet and refraining from making 'stupid' mistakes.
In the last three years, the North Londoners have been beaten by two goals in the first leg, and although they battled valiantly to overturn these deficits against Bayern Munich and Monaco, it ultimately culminated in heroic failure. The 66-year-old was absolutely desperate to avoid a repeat performance, which explains his fury at his side's ill-discipline in the last quarter of the game.
Wenger's tactical shift
In the immediate aftermath of the defeat, Wenger admitted his side were 'extremely guilty' and had 'no excuse' for losing their shape in the latter stages of the contest. The Frenchman compared the defeat to last season's humbling against Monaco. The standard in opposition differs significantly, but once again, Arsenal's overly offensive mind-set proved to be their undoing. Wenger himself has been a target for criticism, although a large proportion of this was unwarranted.
There has been a long-running misconception that Wenger 'doesn't do tactics'. The Arsenal boss isn't in the same egotistical mould as Jose Mourinho, who discusses and lauds his every tactical decision; nevertheless this doesn't demean Wenger's tactical nous.
The Gunners have significantly improved their record in big games over the past 12 months, which has seen them defeat the likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Manchester United (x2) Manchester City (x2), both home and away. Wenger has curbed his side's attacking and impetuous instincts somewhat, and they are able to employ a more disciplined and defensive approach when the situation demands; this approach very nearly paid dividends on Tuesday evening.
Barcelona are without doubt the best team on the planet. Their attacking trio understandably attract the headlines; they've scored an astonishing 91 goals between them this season! Nevertheless, they have enormous quality throughout their team. Even their defenders are ominously comfortable in possession and their instantaneous attacking transitions are genuinely frightening.
If there was one criticism of Pep Guardiola's Barcelona side, they were occasionally stagnant in possession, but Luis Enrique's men move the ball with greater purpose, pace and whilst they notoriously dominate matches, they also pose a significant counter-attacking threat. This is something Wenger noted in his post-match press conference, therefore he decided that his side would be forced to relinquish possession and play on the counter-attack.
However, Wenger's game-plan was mightily effective, particularly in the first half. Barcelona failed to register a shot on target for the first time since Enrique took charge in May 2014. The Gunners employed a high-pressing block for periods of the first half, attempting to suffocate the Barca midfielders from initiating attacks. However, the hosts also managed to retain their discipline and they weren't caught up the pitch, which was a major concern due to the lack of pace possessed by skipper Per Mertesacker. They restricted Barcelona to hopeful crosses or shots from distance, and the fabled front three had very little influence on proceedings.
Despite enjoying just 30% of possession, Arsenal had the best chances of the opening half, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain squandered a guilt-edged opportunity to open the scoring midway through the first period. The second half was a slightly more open affair and Barcelona played with greater intensity and urgency.
Petr Cech was forced into producing a smart save from Neymar as the hour mark elapsed, but Barcelona were still struggling to create clear-cut chances. Arsenal were looking a constant threat on the counter-attack, and Olivier Giroud's powerful header was impressively saved by Ter Stegen as Wenger's men searched for an opener.
Wenger fumes at 'naive' Arsenal
They began to establish a semblance of control with twenty minutes remaining, but crucially, their desire to seize the initiative saw them relinquish it, as Barcelona opened the scoring with a clinical counter-attacking goal; the transition between them dispossessing the Gunners in their own penalty area, and Messi scoring the opener was a mere 14 seconds. It was the key event Wenger had been desperate to avoid.
Francis Coquelin, who performed superbly for the most part, was caught up the pitch, whilst Mertesacker lunged in on the half-way line, leaving Neymar and Messi with just Koscielny and Monreal in their wake. Wenger was seething; his animated reaction on the touchline spoke volumes. He had referenced the fact that 0-0 was anything but a disaster, but his players were caught up in the hysteria of going toe-to-toe with the Champions League holders.
Wenger's decision to start Olivier Giroud raised eyebrows, as the French forward isn't considered as the ideal individual to employ when adopting a counter-attacking philosophy, but he held up the ball extremely well and worked tirelessly to close down Barcelona's back-line. However, Wenger opted to replace the injured Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain with Theo Walcott, before removing Giroud for Danny Welbeck in the immediate aftermath of Barca's opening goal.
Walcott terrorised Barcelona's backline in the 2-2 draw at the Emirates back in 2010 and his pace was seen as a vital outlet for the Gunners. Welbeck also possesses raw pace on the counter, but crucially, the former Manchester United man also has the necessary hold-up play and work-rate to perform a similar role to Giroud. Welbeck had a very positive influence on the game and stretched the game on a number of occasions, but he was the victim of persistent and cynical fouling from the Catalans.
Coquelin's withdrawal proved costly
The only questionable decision made by Wenger was to replace Francis Coquelin with Mathieu Flamini with nine minutes remaining. If Wenger had brought on Flamini for Ramsey or Ozil to shore up the midfield, the decision would have seemed more logical, but it was a like-for-like replacement and a significantly inferior replacement at that.
Flamini had an instant impact, but not the one Wenger desired, as he conceded a penalty within 45 seconds of entering the field of play. In fairness, Per Mertesacker's poor touch forced Flamini into a decision, but as too often with the combative French midfielder, he chose the wrong option.
It was an extremely disappointing defeat for the Gunners, although it was not disheartening. Barcelona are red-hot favourites to retain their Champions League crown and their attacking wealth is unprecedented; however as Wenger admitted, his team had the chances to win the game, before making two errors that were ruthlessly punished.
Players must take responsibility
It's understandable that fans are frustrated to lose in such cruel circumstances, but perspective is required. Arsenal more than matched the best team in the world for over 70 minutes and if they can replicate their performance from Tuesday night, a domestic double is a genuine possibility.
Arsène's desire to win the Champions League remains as prevalent as ever, and the prospect of succumbing to another last 16 exit is disappointing. People can point towards a lack of investment in Arsenal's forward-line, with Olivier Giroud currently enduring an eight-match streak without a goal, and in that respect, Gunners fans may have legitimate cause for conjecture.
However, tactically Wenger got it spot on this Tuesday in the eyes of many. He supplied his side with the perfect framework to overcome Barcelona and but for profligate finishing, we could be dissecting another famous Arsenal European victory.
In the shape of Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey, Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud, Arsenal have the offensive ammunition to trouble any side. They also now have the maturity and experience within the squad to deal with these seismic occasions, but again some senior players were guilty of making careless and critical errors that cannot be accounted for by their manager. There is absolutely no shame in losing to the best team in world football, but if the blame is to be directed anywhere, it shouldn't be towards Wenger. He did his job, but his players let him down.

|Luv this. Reminds me of my buddy climbing a cell tower and throwing a dummy off. His accomplice below popping outta the grass and waving. Kansas farmers thought that was pretty funny...sorta.

This is a pretty solid lesson. Students liked naming items and prices, as well as creating their own stores. For some reason the kids love to yell as loud as possible when reading from the book, so you might have to crack some skulls when you do that part of the lesson.

The Savoy Hotel in London, the Imperial Hotel in Delhi, Christian's Hotel in Luoyang China, the Hotel Icon in Hong Kong, the Polana Hotel in Maputo, the Grand Coloane Beach Resort in Macau and the beautiful and historic San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara. are among the classic or luxury hotels of the world.
Scary Stories, Monsters, Folklore, Myths, Legends and Ghosts in Florida
Hauntings at Ocean Key Resort and Spa, Key West; unusual hauntings of a Victorian guesthouse, Artist House, in Key West (the turret is said to be haunted, both by Anne, the wife of artist and author Robert Eugene "Gene" Otto and by the malevolent spirit of a sailor doll, also called Robert - the "possessed" doll itself is sometimes displayed in the Fort East Martello Museum or at the Old Post Office and Customhouse and is claimed to be the inpiration for the Chucky movies); the pink, horned, serpentine monster of the St John's River; mysterious orbs and noises at the Historic Hollywood Beach Resort; the Fairchid Oak of Ormond Beach, haunted my a male spectre, possibly a suicide; the numerous ghosts of the Cassadaga Hotel, Cassadaga, which embraces its phantom guests and usually has a professional psychic on hand (spectres include girls Katlin and Sarah, Gentleman Jack with his trademark cigar and a rather naughty ghost called Arthur); and the phantom lighthouse keeper at the St Augustine Lighthouse and Museum, are among the true ghost stories, myths and legends of Florida.
The Fountain of Youth, searched for by the conquistador Ponce de Leon; the spectre in a top hat that haunts the Vinoy Renaissance Hotel in St Petersburg; sewer rats so huge that people have petted them like dogs; the phantom of the Olde Marco Inn on Marco Island; the Saint Augustine Monster, a real carcass that has never been positively identified; the ghost of the Jameson Inn, quite modern but already haunted, on Cracker Barrel Drive in Crestview; and the White Lady, Julia, who haunts Rolling Acres Road in appropriately named Lady Lake, along with a hooded phantom, are other legendary tales of ghosts and haunted places in Florida.
The phantom maid who makes a nuisance of herself in the historic St Francis Inn, St Augstine; the ghosts of Miss Sunshine Gibson and Captain Wood in the historic, Cracker styled, Gibson Inn in Apalachicola; unexplained phenomena at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Miami (ghostly events are associated with the fact that the hotel was used as a soldiers' hospital during WW2); strange phenomena at the historic Mary Phifer McKenzie House, part of the Sweetwater Branch Inn in Gainesville; ghostly apparitions at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, formerly the Peabody Hotel; the ghost "Vivian" who haunts the Hunter Arms Inn in St Cloud; and the pink fog of Tomoka State Park that leaves behind only the dismembered skeletons of those it envelops, are more weird folklore associated with Florida.
The Wiccademous Grave of the atmospheric shrimping village Fernandina Beach, on Amelia Island, where the spirit of a witch causes the earth to tremble; the Elusive Muck Monster of Lake Worth Lagoon; the thoroughfare popularly called Bloody Bucket Road and the similarly prefixed bridge and woods in Wauchula where, at night, blood appears in the water below the bridge and the sound of crying babies is heard from the woods (a murderous midwife is said to have been haunted by a bucket that supernaturally filled with the blood of her victims, which she tried to pour out at the bridge); the toilet-lurking Two Striped Telamonia spider; the ghost of a former owner that haunts the Inn at New World Landing, Pensacola; the smelly and sasquatch-like Skunk Ape; spirits of the Agustin Inn in the St Augustine Historic District, including a man in white, who walks through walls and who may also be the ghostly Chiles who "goes bump in the night"; Umatilla Cemetery with its screaming woman and phantom children; the gash-throated phantom of Luc Simone Aury that haunts the area outsde of the Amelia Island Museum of History, formerly the Old Jail where he was hanged, in Fernandina Beach (his attempt at suicide failed and his throat was stitched by a surgeon but the long drop of the gallows caused his wound to open and shower the horrified spectators with blood - Aury couldn't have planned it better if he had tried!); and spectral lights and other mysterious phenomena at the Indian River Inn & Conference Center in New Smyrna, are yet more strange folktales of Florida.
Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and other Wildlife / Fauna of Florida
Muskrats, bobcats, feral Rhesus monkeys on the Silver River, adding to Florida's atmosphere of subtropical paradise, loggerhead turtles, raccoons, green turtles, gopher tortoises, white-tailed deer, river otters, roseate spoonbills, opossums, Florida softshell turtles, bald eagles, alligators, rare American crocodiles, American flamingos, feral Burmese pythons, hawksbill turtles, feral parakeets, feral nine-banded armadillos, manatees, rare Florida cougars (also called Florida panthers), dolphins, leatherback turtles, marsh rabbits, black bears, endangered North Atlantic right whales and pelicans are among the wild animals of Florida.
America is one of the largest, most most varied and most interesting countries in the world.

Environmental Challenge
After decades of Canadian oil refining, Shell Global found themselves holding 135 environmentally distressed properties throughout Canada. These environmental liabilities consisted of former distribution centers for bulk petroleum products, oil transfer and refining facilities, and other sites impacted by years of petroleum-related business activities. Operations on these sites had ceased, leaving behind a large portfolio of shuttered sites impacted by petro-hydrocarbons.
Shell determined that managing contaminated real estate was outside their core business and decided to seek alternative options.
Environmental Risk Assumption & Real Estate Purchase
Shell began searching for a way to divest these contaminated sites and transfer their environmental liabilities, while receiving fair compensation for the real estate. At the same time, due to their role in the contamination, Shell wanted to guarantee complete and final restoration, and eliminate any environmental impacts that may have been caused as a byproduct of their operations. Shell approached Environmental Liability Transfer, Inc. (ELT) for a liability transfer solution – ELT was able to completely indemnify Shell of the contaminated properties.
By transferring environmental liabilities and remedial obligations to ELT, Shell was able to receive corporate indemnification, guarantee that these distressed sites were restored, and reallocate capital and manpower to core operations.
The transaction enabled Shell the ability to divest non-core, contaminated real estate, transfer the environmental liabilities to a third party, and guarantee clean-up of the environmental conditions.
Environmental Remediaion
ELT then tasked their affiliate company, EnviroAnalytics Group, LLC (EAG), with the responsibility of cleaning these properties and bringing them into full compliance with Canada's Ministries of the Environment. EAG entered into a remediation services agreement with Shell Global to address the contamination in accordance with Shell's and the Canadian Ministry of the Environment's requirements, which will allow for full remediation and reintegration of these sites back into productive use.
Sustainable Redevelopment
Remedial work has been prioritized to facilitate the reuse/resale of this portfolio. Commercial Development Company, Inc. (CDC) is currently performing land studies and market assessments to determine the highest and best use for these sites going forward, which could include a variety of vertical development purposes including light-industrial, commercial, and mixed-use.
By transferring environmental liabilities and remedial obligations to ELT, Shell was able to receive corporate indemnification, guarantee that these distressed sites were restored, and reallocate capital and manpower to core operations.

Unique Stained Glass Stepping Stones by David Edenfield
These stepping stones are different! They are BIG, 18" in diameter, and made to walk on. The stained glass design is embedded below the textured concrete surface of the stepping stone for added durability and a safer, non-slip surface. You can find my stepping stones on Etsy as well.
When you order a stepping stone you will receive the one pictured, that is why they are numbered. Each one is unique, so if you order more than a quantity of one I will find or make another as close as possible to the one ordered.

Memo to ad tech: Preserve brand building
Lori Swartz, Managing Partner at Story Tech, vociferously opposes advertising that employs programmatic campaigns without first paying homage to storytelling.
"Too much automation of remnant inventory and hyper-impression focused campaigns could damage an otherwise sound marketing message. Be careful that you don't lose the biggest reason you became a marketer: to tell compelling and impactful stories."
To some, today's marketing seems to be less about creativity and storytelling and more about overall conversions. Marketers' hard fought campaigns deserve results, not just bedtime stories.
But in order to achieve hoped for impressions, clicks, conversions and other key metrics of success, brands must build a cohesive understanding of who they are to the consumer. Brand identity and creative must stand-out — while impressive, web omnipresence might not be enough to drive consumer action if a company is suffering from lackluster positioning.
Memo to ad tech: in this era of increasingly data-driven marketing, remember to preserve brand storytelling.

Basic Criterion for Qualifying for Auto Loan
While many think that getting an auto loan online is difficult, it is not so in reality. There are many auto financing companies that have significantly simplified the procedure related to sanctioning of car loans. While in yester years, the lender s used to check the borrower's credit rating, monthly income and gather all information about financial position before sanctioning the applied loan amount, nowadays, the lenders have become very flexible with the loan terms and conditions. The creditors are also pretty informed about the factors that they need to consider while seeking for auto loan. The borrowers are armed with all the information and tend to check out all the clauses elaborately before signing on the dotted line. Here are some of the essential points that can be followed by a loan applicant which to get an auto loan sanctioned.
While seeking information from the lender, do not overemphasize on the issue of monthly payable interest with the sales executive
Never forget to consider and compare the rates of interest on a particular amount with multiple financing companies. Different firms may charge different rates of interest and hence you must diligently choose one which suits your budget
Compare the terms and conditions and the offers that are provided by different lenders
Carry out a comprehensive research on various auto financing firms, read their profiles, customer reviews and try to gain a good knowledge about their reputation in the domain.
Ask questions minutely and make sure that you have each of the clauses covered. This is the best thing to do in order to avoid situations when hidden charges become imminent
Before signing on the dotted line, it is best to read the terms and conditions very carefully so as to avoid the risk of taking a misinformed decision. In case, you are confused with a particular term of the lender, do not hesitate to ask.
With the soaring competition in the auto financing market, the lenders follow an efficient loan approval system. You can be informed about the loan being sanctioned instantly, within few hours time, just after you provide them with a few basic information and documents. But, it is your onus to assess a few important things before applying for an auto Loan. Firstly, you should decide on your own affordability factor. You should have a clear idea about the rates of interest and then decide how much you can afford. Secondly, you should check your credit history and evaluate whether you are entitled to apply for auto loan.
Although, many car financing companies now readily issue bad credit auto loan, a poor credit rating can still impact on the payment plan. Furthermore, poor credit rating also limits the types of vehicle that someone may seek to buy. There are many car dealers who only offer used cars to people with bad creditors.
If you are applying for a bad credit auto loan, you should always look to increase your down payment. This will increase your chances of qualifying for an auto loan. Having a co-signer with you further increases your chances of obtaining a car loan. A co-signer can be a friend of yours, or a relative who have a affluent financial status and possesses high credit score. Having a co-signer is a kind of assurance to the lender that a person will pays for your loans if you fail to pay the debt.
Obtaining an auto loan is not as hard as getting a mortgage loan sanctioned. However, there are certain things that need to be followed in order to increase the chances of qualifying, especially if your credit score is too low.
