Despite law, cities quiet on kids' gaming machines
Since Gov. Rick Scott signed legislation outlawing video gambling machines last month, South Florida cops have rolled through their cities like the Untouchables, seizing dozens of machines from mom-and-pop stores and cafes and arresting their owners, while politicians deliver fiery orations about rubbing out a cancer on the community.
But everybody has been curiously quiet about another aspect of the law: big, well-heeled — and lawyered-up — kiddie and adult arcades whose machines were also outlawed by the new legislation. A Miami Herald check of popular chains like Dave & Buster's, Chuck E. Cheese's and Game Time found hundreds of machines that don't comply with the new law.
"I'm not going to go arrest Chuck E. Cheese in front of a bunch of 6-year-olds," said Hialeah Mayor Carlos Hernandez, whose city, on the day the law took effect, confiscated 72 machines from cafes and arcades that cater to the elderly. "If the governor and the Legislature want that, they can come and do it themselves."
His words drew a bitter reaction from Jennifer Morejon, who was ordered by Hialeah police to close down her video arcade catering to the elderly and dismantle its 100 machines, or face arrest.
"It's just discrimination," she said. "How can the machines be bad for my customers, who are adults spending their own money, but not for kids? This is something you expect in a country like Cuba, not the United States."
The new law was approved by overwhelming margins in both chambers of the Legislature after the news broke that so-called Internet cafes where computers were set up for casino-style gambling, which supposedly were operated by a charity that sent the profits to veterans' organizations, were actually pocketing nearly all the money.
The scandal forced the resignation of Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, whose public-relations firm had represented the Internet cafes. And it threatened to spread when it turned out the operators had made campaign donations to a number of legislators.
The law effectively put the Internet cafes out of business, as well as making illegal the so-called maquinitas — "little machines," coin-operated gambling games scattered through stores and restaurants in South Florida's blue-collar neighborhoods.
But it also included several provisions that would apply to most popular video arcades. Prizes must be merchandise — not cash or gift certificates — and they can't be worth more than 75 cents. The games must include at least some element of skill. And they must be coin-operated rather activated by dollar bills or swiping a computerized card. The law also upped the potential penalty for operating illegal games to a second-degree felony punishable by 15 years in prison.
The sweeping nature of the law, coupled with the harsh penalty, convinced many business owners to get rid of their machines — especially after Miami cops staged a series of photo-op seizures and arrests. Hundreds of arcades for senior citizens around the state shut down after their association's attorney warned them their businesses ran afoul of the law.
But many arcades that market themselves to children or young adults are simply ignoring the law.
• Literally hundreds of machines in Dave & Buster's arcades in Hollywood and Sweetwater are activated by computerized smart cards rather than coins. Prizes that can be won on a single game play run from a Geneva wristwatch that retails for about $25 to 10 downloaded songs from iTunes, worth about $10.
• Lake Worth's Fun Depot offers play on dozens of actual slot machines. Though the slots have been altered to play with and pay off in tokens rather than coins, they were illegal even before Florida's new law. Many other machines are activated by smart cards rather than coins, and prizes include Beats Solo headphones (retail price: about $200) and Xbox 360 game consoles ($180 and up).
• Most machines at Boomers, a Boca Raton arcade operated by a California-based chain, work on smart cards. Prizes that can be won on a single play include laptop computers, Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation game consoles and iPods.
• Game Time, a Florida arcade chain with a location in South Miami, has smart-card-activated machines offering prizes ranging from popcorn machines to 46-inch televisions that can be won on a single play.
• In Hialeah, Chuck E. Cheese's — a popular kiddie pizza parlor that includes an arcade — has a wind-tunnel machine in which a nimble-fingered child can snatch up to 2,000 prize tickets: enough for a fiber-optic lamp that changes colors. Similar models go for about $20 in stores. And, like all the other arcades The Miami Herald visited, it has several so-called coin-pushers, machines in which dropping a token may cause hundreds of others to cascade out in a jackpot.
Most of the arcade owners didn't respond to calls from The Herald. One who did said she thought her business was complying with the law.
"As we understand it, this legislation is not intended to target restaurant and entertainment companies such as Dave & Buster's, Disney and others who operate games of skill," said April Spearman, vice president of marketing for Dave & Buster's. "While we continue to believe this legislation should not impact us, we are working with local law enforcement to understand the new law and ensure we are in full compliance."
Her belief is shared by some politicians who think the law doesn't include everybody. "We don't have any of those places within the Miami city limits, but I thought there was something in the law so it didn't cover Chuck E. Cheese's," said Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado. Added Hialeah's Hernandez: "That part of the law is vague."
But neither the mayors nor the arcade owners could point to the supposed exceptions in the law. "And how is the law not vague when it comes to senior arcades, but vague when it comes to Dave & Buster's and Chuck E. Cheese's?" demanded Michael Wolf, a Fort Lauderdale attorney who represents the Florida Arcade Association, an organization that includes about 250 video parlors for the elderly.
Wolf filed a suit on behalf of two Broward arcades last month, challenging the constitutionality of the law, which it describes as "arbitrary, irrational and not reasonably related to a legitimate governmental purpose.'"

Quirky Owl Wreath/
Me: "Nate, what do you think about this wreath?"
Nate: "Eh. It's okay." As he runs upstairs.
Me: "You didn't even look at it."
Nate: "I did too. Sticks. Owls."
Me: "Well, I just need to know if it's too quirky."
Nate: "Not too quirky. Just Michelle quirky."
Me: "Okay, good."
As you can see, my quirky owl obsession continues. I've decided to use them to cure my bird phobia. Yes, I'm afraid of birds. My heart races when one is near me or if I can see them plotting to peck my eyes out. I think it all stems from a childhood encounter with an angry momma goose. Mothers, keep your kids away from the fowl. This cute little cartoony owls make me smile though. They're helping me rethink birds. Except for the real owl that lives in the trees behind my house and makes his owly noises while I watch New Girl….as he plots how he is going to take me down. He has me rethinking nothing.
This wreath was quite simple to make. I cut out some fabric and used some super glue to attach it to the front of the body. I sewed around the edges, stuffed it with filler, and sewed it on up. I can make a template for those of you that are interested. I was just not interested in making at template last night. (It's season premiere week. I have priorities.) It's quirky and old ladyish. My favorite kind of
décor wreath.
Do you have a fall wreath up? What's on it? Anyone else using quirky owls to cure their bird phobia? What's are your favorite shows this season?

US Airways offers business class and first class travel to a great number of destinations. The travelers who use the services of US Airways can usually upgrade to business class and first class for all domestic flights. The US Airways passengers can receive complimentary seat upgrades when the travel within North America. Upgrades to your next business class and first class travel are possible and can be made within 24 hours of the departure time of the flight.
When travelers organize their cheap business class travel and make online check-ins they need to follow several steps. The online and the phone check-in is possible 24hours before the departure and at the check-in moment they can ask for upgrade from the economy to the business class or the first class travel seat, using their frequent flyer miles. In case the check-in is done on the phone, the traveler has to inform the ticket agent about the upgrade to the business class or to the first class requested. As a rule the upgrades are valid for one flight only, thus if the travelers have a connecting flight, they need to get upgrade using their frequent flier miles.
When the check-in is done in person, then the traveler should arrive at the airport on time and go to the ticketing gate to speak with the ticket agent. The traveler should ask the travel agent for an upgrade on one's business class and first class travel. In this way the traveler will have the chance to get the upgrade either by paying for it or by using the collected frequent flyer miles.
Travelers should be aware that the flight upgrades to business class and first class travel are usually based on the availability and when the flights are busy such upgrades are not provided. Another important thing that has to be mentioned here is that if there is a special occasion such as a honeymoon, the ticket agents are usually allowed to offer flight upgrades for free.

Eternal Swan - total quality
Reviewed: March 2, 2014 by happy & horny, a Straight Single Male
When we first received and held our Eternal Swan vibrating strapless strap on dildo it felt so good in the palm of our hands.
That was nothing compared to how good it felt when gripped in my partner's pussy and beautifully up my bum while we scissored each other. I came with her with a bang, gripping the Swan tight with my anal sphincter.
We both felt we'd been ravished by the Swan - like Leda was by Zeus. Total Quality!
- Pros
- Tactile, smooth and sensuous, its total quality. No distracting straps or harnesses.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- A wonderful, wonderful way to seamlessly join your partner's crotch with your bum.

Bit of a learning curve
Reviewed: February 18, 2014 by sleepycelia
I was sent this as a tester to review by the lovely people at Lovehoney.
Do not overestimate the size of the Eternal Swan. It is TEENY. It's diminutive! When the bulb part's inserted, the usable portion of the shaft measures five inches in length, sometimes shorter depending on the position you're using it in, and four inches around the widest point. It's absolutely adorable and when I pulled it out of the storage bag I full on squealed, but if you're after something substantial this probably won't do it for you and you'd be better off looking at a Share or a Feeldoe.
The silicone's silky smooth and the toy itself is nice and firm, with the tapered piece from the shaft to the egg having a little bit of flex. It says it's seamless on the packaging, however there's actually a fairly prominent seam running along the underside of the shaft, but you can't really feel it in use. You charge it by plugging the charger into a teeny tiny hole at the back of the toy, above the buttons - it takes 3 hours to charge and a single charge lasts 7 hours. You can also lock the toy for travel, which, yay, amazing! You do this by pressing both buttons down for four seconds, and to unlock you do the same again.
The Swan is quite abstractly shaped and not remotely 'realistic'. The bulb is a perfect size for me, it's not very big, just over four inches around so about the size of a small egg maybe? If you're not very confident about the strength of your pc muscles then I'd maybe invest in a set of good Kegel balls before buying this, or look at strapless toys with larger bulbs, but for me it stays in perfectly and I haven't had it slide out at any unfortunate moments. The shaft might be small for some, but it has this lovely bump that hits my G-spot perfectly, and as it has a tapered tip I also imagine it'd be good for anal play. If you want to get the most out of the length, positions from behind work tend to work best, I found when my partner wore this and I was on top I didn't get a whole lot out of the length.
The Eternal Swan is a bit different from a lot of other strapless strap-ons on the market due to the fact that it vibrates, and it's rechargeable with no weird wired battery packs. It has two motors, one in the 'bulb', and one in the shaft, and they can be controlled independently of each other by using the buttons that are located underneath the charging port, at the back of the toy - just press either button once to turn it on, hold it down to increase the vibrations, and press it again for off.
The buttons for this thing are one of the most frustrating sets of sex toy controls I've ever come across. It's mainly a placement issue. To be fair, there's not really anywhere else they could've put them, it's not the manufacturers fault and I'm the first to admit that I'm not very coordinated - I'm waiting on technology that enables you to control vibration settings with deliberate Kegel clenches, personally - but trying to press and hold the right button when both buttons are identically shaped, you're distracted, everything's covered in lube and you can't actually see either of them is completely maddening. I ended up taking it out, adjusting the vibrations and then putting it back in, which ruins the mood, but not as much as having a laughing fit out of frustration does. I can't help but think that maybe they could've put a raised dot or a number or something on each button so it's at least slightly easier to figure out which one you're pressing?
The vibrations, are irritating as they are to control while you're using the Swan, are pretty great. They're really intense and rumbly, and I like how you press and hold instead of repeatedly pressing down on a button to move up a speed. They're quiet when inserted but I wouldn't call them discreet.
The Swan's a versatile toy, and I've found that you can use either end of it for solo use, although if you were hoping that you can use the shaft internally and push the egg up for clit stimulation you're out of luck - the egg has a little flex, as I've already mentioned, but not that much. I'd be scared of snapping it off that way.
Overall? I like the Eternal Swan, and I'm happy to have it in my collection. It's had a lot of use in the short time I've had it, it's nice to see a strapless strap-on that doesn't look like a dick, and the vibrations are strong and rumbly, and you can lock it for travel. It does have flaws, the charge time is a little long and I hate the button placement, but I'm sure in time I'll get used to them.
- Pros
- It's super cute! The bulb's a nice size, travel lockable, rechargeable.
- Cons
- Location of the buttons, could be longer maybe.
- Bottom line
- Mixed feelings. It's worth the money but it does have some flaws.

forgoten or considered as a part of the history. Because of the popular digital era it is getting very
hard for the general and proffesional public to recognize what is genuine artistic photograph made
also with old photo techniques, her artistic and material value.
Love is the only authentic emotion that feeds us, nurtures us and is the source of our creativitiy. And
love is not just one kind – the one between man and a woman, there are many loves, as many as we
have loving people around us. How could we preserve this love forever?
How the project works:
You choose a partner (housband/wife, brother/sister, doughter/son, mother/father, friend, etc.) with
whom you will be in a huging or kissing gesture for a certain period of time – from a couple of
seconds to couple of minutes. The reasons for long exposure and being still is because of the nature
of the camera we are taking photos with – we are using camera obscura (pinhole)* and paper
negative that we manualy develop, and the other reasons for using this kind of photo process is 1. for
participants to stop for a moment and fully give their attention to the emotion and person with
him/her 2. to get an experience with old photo techniques and the whole process of making a photo
and to show how a artistic photographer works. All participants can join the photographer in his
mobile darkroom and witness the process.
The goal of the project is to make 100 salt prints** on maple wood panels and an exhibition.
Participation is free. Participants get a digital reproduction through mail.
Donation: if you would also like your camera obscura photo made on maple wood you can donate
25€ to the CAS Artotipija and you will recive it in one month through post.
*Camera obscura (from Latin "camera": (vaulted) chamber or room, and "obscura": darkened, plural: camerae obscurae),
also referred to as pinhole image, is the natural optical phenomenon that occurs when an image of a scene at the other side
of a screen (or for instance a wall) is projected through a small hole in that screen as an reversed and inverted image (left to
right and upside down) on a surface opposite to the opening. The surroundings of the projected image have to be relatively
dark for the image to be clear, so many historical camera obscura experiments were performed in literally dark rooms.
The term "camera obscura" also refers to constructions or devices that make use of the principle within a box, tent or
room. Camerae obscurae with a lens in the opening have been used since the second half of the 16th century and became
popular as an aid for drawing and painting. The camera obscura box was developed further into the photographic camera in
the first half of the 19th century when camera obscura boxes were used to expose light-sensitive materials to the projected
**The salt print was the dominant paper-based photographic process for producing positive prints during the period from
1839 through approximately 1860.
The salted paper technique was created in the mid-1830s by English scientist and inventor Henry Fox Talbot. He made what
he called "sensitive paper" for "photogenic drawing" by wetting a sheet of writing paper with a weak solution of ordinary
table salt (sodium chloride), blotting and drying it, then brushing one side with a strong solution of silver nitrate. This
produced a tenacious coating of silver chloride in an especially light-sensitive chemical condition. The paper darkened
where it was exposed to light. When the darkening was judged to be sufficient, the exposure was ended and the result was
stabilized by applying a strong solution of salt, which altered the chemical balance and made the paper only slightly
sensitive to additional exposure. In 1839, washing with a solution of sodium thiosulfate ("hypo") was found to be the most
effective way to make the results truly light-fast.
Project is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture Slovenia.

Goodbye and Goodnight3 comments Published by ashley on Monday, May 14, 2007 at 9:13 AM
I think you can probably guess what kind of post this is from the title.
We've always said that working full-time and taking care of the home full-time can be a tough job. And, well, throwing multiple blogs in there just makes it even tougher. Unfortunately, I haven't mastered my time so well that I'm able to do all of those things to the best of my ability (and being the perfectionist that I am, I settle for nothing less).
So... I have opted to bow out from Onward & Upward for the time being. Don't worry, Beth will still be here posting as she can! But for now I'm going to be focusing a little more on other priorities. (You know you've let things slide when you tell your husband you're going to blog less, and he cheers. Oops!)
But the good news for all of you is that I am still going to be present on the blogosphere! I have been and will continue to update my personal blog, which can be found over at twentysixcats.com. Please come over there and visit me, as I plan to post fairly frequently as time allows.
Goodbye for now!

That's reason enough to dissociate oneself from the provocative jerk. Maybe Dr. Pierce figured out the same about him when Linder was lobbying him hard to be given Kevin's job as Media Director and failed? Who knows? Who Cares?
Linder is one of several sworn enemies of the Alliance today, Wade. Fact! Didn't he "permaban" you from his forum soon after you started defending NA on his anti-NA forum? He did that to several other NA defenders.
He nor his other anti-NA provocateurs can foul our little WB forum, thanks.

Cover Art: The Crimson Campaign by Brian McClellan (Orbit)
Shadowhawk takes a look at the second Powder Mage novel from Brian McClellan.
"A great cover that is superior to the one for the first novel, which was already quite amazing." ~Shadowhawk
About a month ago I did an "Upcoming" post for Brian McClellan's debut novel Promise of Blood (read here). The book will be released on 16th April, and it is a book I'm really looking forward to reading, since I love the premise, the setting is really intriguing, the artwork is great, and Orbit put out some great books.
The mark of a good sequel is that it builds upon what has come before, whether that is the story itself, the characters or the cover. Since currently there is no blurb for the novel that I can find, and the 2014 Spring catalog from Orbit isn't available yet, all I can share with you all is the cover for The Crimson Campaign.
The cover is truly fantastic, much more expressive and atmospheric than the one for Promise of Blood. And it also promises a ton of action, if that battlefield behind/around the central character, Field Marshal Tamas. As Brian himself said on his blog (read here), he had a hard time believing Orbit could top the cover for the first book, and has been pleasantly surprised. My congratulations to both Brian and the Orbit Art team for turning out such a gorgeous cover that reflects the mood from the cover for the first novel, and provides a strong thematic consistency for the series.
Here it is!
The Crimson Campaign will be releasing in February 2014, and I wish Brian all the best for the release of Promise of Blood and post-release success.
What do you think of the cover? Do you like it? Hate it? Ambivalent? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Character Test
And then there are meetings. And speeches. Lord, speeches, how I hate them.
If I am not alone in my inability to endure boredom, there may be an opportunity for a technical minded person - if someone could invent an absolutely minute device that could be hidden inside the ear and could broadcast interesting podcasts and comedy programmes to the wearer, I think there might be a large market waiting. Imagine the joy of sitting through a team meeting or a distant relative's monologue, nodding and smiling, calm, unstressed, all the time secretly entertained by a tiny voice that nobody else can hear.
While on the subject of improvements to modern life, why don't we bury sll those ugly industrial areas that surround most cities - those long stretches of warehouses and panelbeaters and even shopping malls and so forth? Most of them appear to be more or less windowless, so why not build them underground?

No Z, you are not alone in your discomposure when faced with the blight that is a modern bore. I have a theory that most of them (they nearly always seem to be men) know full well what they are doing, and the effect it has on their 'victim'. Probably harks back to a disjointed upbringing or, even further back, being perhaps taken off the breast too early. To the best of my knowledge there is no cure.ReplyDeleteReplies

Mitesh ChandaranaBSc (Hons)
Mitesh states City University London offers beyond helpful staff, it is very professional and as a university couldn't recommend it more.
Why did you decide to do a placement while at City, University of London?
A foot within the door during university was a massive achievement. There are many companies offering placements but as times were tough (and still are), to obtain a placement would have been seen as a bonus on your CV and something that'll make you stand out from the crowd, come graduation.
Where was your placement and what was your role?
I was placed at the National Health Service (NHS) and my role was that of Project Analyst assisting with key projects around Lewisham Hospital.
What has been the most important thing gained from your placement?
Experience, confidence and professionalism.
What do you plan to do after graduating?
Found a role two days prior to graduation. I would however have loved to travel or perhaps consider a Masters but if a position comes knocking at your door, you don't turn it down.
Anything else about City you would like to add?
Beyond helpful staff, very professional and couldn't recommend it more.

Free Maps and Travel Guides
I don't know about yous guys, but I am still in the paper age when it comes to maps. I love the toil of pulling out my file of maps, spreading them out across the livingroom floor and jotting down routes and numbers that ultimately string together to form a route. Call me old fashioned, my GPS is the Girly Pen System. I sometimes even draw little hearts over my I's.
I can of course see the appeal of the GPS, in terms of telling me where I've been, where I am at this very moment, where the next gas station is and all that but I just can't shake my affinity for good ole paper.
Its pretty awesome how many websites give away free maps. Chambers of Commerce, Tourist Bureaus, States, counties… they are all just dying to get you to come visit them. They want to tell you exactly where you can get that warthog whittled from real colby cheese that you just know your Aunt Myrtle would die for. From? No, definitely for. Need a place to stay? No problem. Often along with the maps, you get restaurant, motel and touristy information pamphlets as well.
I know, I know. This certainly doesn

DIG Box Office: "Gravity"
Alfonso Cuarón's "Gravity"is the most profound space film since "2001: A Space Odyssey." "Gravity"is not as much of a movie as it is an experience. It is the perfect example of storytelling – and its plot masters the art of simplicity.
Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a highly skilled doctor with a successful career that has landed her an assignment in space. She and astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) encounter debris from a distant satellite that causes chaos, destruction, and a new mission: to get home safely.
The movie's cinematography is pure art. Not only are there beautiful images, but the overall technical achievements in "Gravity" are simply groundbreaking.
That said, "Gravity"is the best example of the perfect 3D experience. Combined with the IMAXscreen, this film demands to be seen on the big screen the way David Lean's "Lawrence of Arabia"does.
Cuarón takes his time and builds the suspense of the film organically in a way that makes the audience yearning to find out what will happen next.
"Gravity"accomplishes the biggest obstacle that many films fail to master: a beautiful blend of artistic cinema and movie entertainment. You do not want to wait and see this film after it has left the theaters; it may be cheaper to watch it at home, but it certainly will not be the same.

I love this clock but the cord stopped working. I contacted LaCrosse they sent another. The cord stopped working AGAIN.
"Love this clock"
I bought one of these for my husband. Had to go back and get another for myself. I love that I can charge my phone and my tablet at the same time. I read in bed so it is nice to not have the tablet die in the middle of the good part.
I bought five of these. All the charging cords they came with stopped working after a few weeks...

I am sharing the card I made for the sketch challenge I am hosting over at stamptv.com.
I decided to use Carla's color challenge colors and stamps illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger. Bright colors always go so well with Melanie's sets.
I pulled out an older set called The Best Things in Life to make my sentiment. This set is so versatile because you can mix and match words. The sentiment on my card is my favorite that can be made with this set. I also like using the set to make the sentiment "Waiting for God". Such great words to send to someone who might need a little extra reminder that God is always there. :o) I used some CB embossing folders to add texture and I pulled out a newer set illustrated by Melanie called Fun Year Round. I punched out a larger red flower and a smaller yellow flower with Marvy punches. Then I used some of the circle stamps to add a cool design to the flowers. I tied off a small transparent orange button and put it all together. For a little added bling I put a small rhinestone heart in place of the o in God. He is love after all and how appropriate to add a shiny heart. :o)
Stamps: Fun Year Round & The Best Things in Life
Other: CB Embossing folders Birds and Swirls & Moroccan Screen, pumpkin mango striped ribbon, flower punches, orange button
Please stop by the challenge forum and join the fun. A free stamp set is given away to a random participant for each challenge.

Melissa Marr has created a wonderful world in her new YA novel Carnival of Souls.
Mallory has spent her whole life moving from city to city as her father attempts to keep them from being found by the Daimons he stole from. Mallory is about to turn 17 and is tired of running, especially now that she has meet Kaleb.
Though she has trained to fight the Daimons from The City she has never met any or so she believes. Mallory believes that the witches like her father have fled the city in fear of their lives which is only a small part of the story. She is unaware of the large role she has to play in the future of the witches and the city alike.
Carnival of Souls is an incredible blend of fantasy mixed with mystery wrapped in romance and sprinkled with action. So many characters working alone, together as well as unknowingly against or with each other makes for an intriguing story that could easily have been dizzily confusing but isn't.
Flowing smoothly through different worlds while seamlessly blending each new characters story into the fold Melissa Marr has created in a world the I look forward to visiting again in the future. What will happen to Kaleb and Zevi? Will they be able to work with Aya? Will Belias and Aya ever work through their issues?
Of course the biggest question is what will happen when Mallory learns the truth of it all? I can't wait to find out.
This is the first book by Melissa Marr that I have read though her Wicked Lovely series have been out for a few years and she released her first novel in general fiction entitled Graveminders. She also recently released Fairy Tales & Nightmares which I am now even more intrigued to read.
Peruse her website to learn all about Melissa Marr.
I can't wait to meet her in at The Smart Chicks Kick It Tour on September 16, 2012 at Chapters Dartmouth. I hope she'll sign my Carnival of Souls ARC and my copy of Enthralled.

Treatment times vary depending on individual circumstances.
The Chiropractic profession has statutory regulation and is controlled by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC), who are responsible for ensuring that all practising Chiropractors are properly qualified, undergo continual professional development, and abide by the Code of Conduct. It is a legal requirement for all practising Chiropractors to be registered with the GCC.
Chiropractic is extremely safe when carried out by a properly qualified doctor of chiropractic. There has been extensive research showing that chiropractic treatment is significantly safer than common anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDs), painkillers and spinal surgery. When you first see your chiropractor you will receive an extensive examination, which may include orthopaedic, neurological and chiropractic tests. You will then be given a report of exactly what has been found in the examination. If your case is accepted by the chiropractor you will be offered a treatment plan, outlining the probable length of the course of the intended treatment, and we will inform you of any possible risks and discuss with you any concerns you may have. When you are satisfied that you fully understand your particular condition then the treatment program can commence. Should the chiropractor find that further examination is necessary she will refer you to your GP or the relevant health professional.
Chiropractic treatment carried out by a properly qualified doctor of chiropractic, is generally painless. Occasionally if you have an acute condition with a lot of muscle spasm there may be some discomfort, however your chiropractor will always use the most appropriate technique to minimise any discomfort, and give advice on how to help yourself at home.
All condition are different and response to treatment will vary significantly. As a general rule the longer you have had a problem the longer it takes to get better. Most people will start to feel some improvement after 2 or 3 treatment sessions, but treatment programs often involve around 8 sessions to achieve a long term resolution of the problem. The recovery time is also very dependant on your commitment to the treatment program, including following any advice regarding lifestyle changes or exercise programs deemed necessary by your chiropractor. Most patients choose to consult their chiropractor periodically to minimise the likelihood of a relapse. You can discuss your options for long term care with the chiropractor once you are feeling better.
All treatment programs are designed to ensure as rapid a recovery as possible, and all conditions vary, but generally 2 treatment sessions a week for a couple of weeks then spreading out the intervals as the condition stabilises. You will be given stretching and exercise advice to help your condition settle down. Many people have come to understand the importance of their spinal health and see their chiropractor periodically in order to prevent back problems occurring. The decision to continue with chiropractic care is always up to you, there is no obligation to continue your treatment program.
Your first session with a chiropractor will take between 45 to 60 minutes. After that most treatments will be done in around 15 to 25 minutes. It is important to remember that all conditions are different and your chiropractor will take the time necessary to ensure that you get maximum improvement as fast as possible.
You do not need to see your GP prior to seeing a chiropractor. Chiropractors are primary contact practitioners and are fully trained to diagnose whether yours is a chiropractic case or not.
If not then you will referred on to your GP or other healthcare practitioner.
Most insurance companies will cover Chiropractic treatment. Generally you get a claim form from your insurance company, some require you GP's signature, and when your treatment program is over you return the form, filled out by your chiropractor, with an itemised receipt of costs incurred to get a refund. The best course of action if you wish to claim treatment from an insurance provider is to call the provider directly and they will advise you.
In a chiropractic adjustment the working surfaces of a joint are moved apart a very small distance in order to restore normal joint function. When this occurs there is a reduction of pressure within the joint resulting in a popping sound as the joint separates. This is painless and harmless, but if you find the noise alarming your chiropractor can utilise different techniques that do not result in this sound.
Chiropractic treatment is suitable for all ages from the new born to the very elderly. Chiropractors are trained to adapt their techniques so as to be able to deliver safe effective treatment for all. Children like adults can get functional problems with their spines which may cause wide variety of symptoms. Parents often chose to bring their children for chiropractic check-up as many childhood conditions respond well to chiropractic care.
Chiropractors are trained to treat pregnant patients and can frequently help with many back and pelvic conditions during pregnancy. Many women choose to have regular chiropractic checkups during their pregnancy so that their spine and pelvis is supple and well balanced, possibly helping to reduce problems during labour. After childbirth chiropractic can help restore the normal mechanics of the pelvis, and give advice as to effective rehabilitation exercises to counteract the loss of spinal function due to the pregnancy.
Chiropractic treatment generally is suitable after surgery, chiropractors are trained to understand the implications of surgery and therefore know when it is safe to treat a particular condition or not. Many people get effective relief from their post surgical pain and in fact many also choose to opt for safe chiropractic treatment to avoid unnecessary back surgery.
The Anglo European College of Chiropractic and the University of Glamorgan offer Chiropractic degree's which involve a minimum of four years full time study, followed by one year postgraduate training with the British Chiropractic Associations Vocational Training Scheme. Upon successful completion of this a Diploma in Chiropractic is awarded and the Chiropractor is eligible for membership of the British Chiropractic Association and Scottish Chiropractic Association.

The Feast of St. Michael and the Archangels and its relevance to today
Yesterday was what used to be called Michaelmas or the Feast of St. Michael. The modern calender includes the other archangels, especially Raphael and Gabriel, but there are also lesser known angels like Uriel, the Angel of Death (a role some ascribe to Michael).
To understand the legend of St. Michael, you must understand the name. Modern renderings are lazy, abbreviating it to God-like, which is exactly the opposite of its intended meaning. In reality, Michael is correcting rendered as the question "Who is like to God?" Indeed, it is almost a taunt because the answer is no one. It was first asked, presumably by Michael, of the highest angel among all angels, Lucifer, when he believed his worship at the throne of God was more worthy than the sacrifice of the God-man, Jesus. The asking of this question had Lucifer, and all his supporters, tossed from the Heavens because they could not bear the answer that they were not. They could literally not face God with the knowledge of their presumption.
This is an important question for us today as well. It affects our worship, our morality and our charity.
Our worship is for us, not for God. Our best efforts are but a reflection of God's glory and are for us to allow God to come for us - we cannot make the journey to God. God accepts our worship because He loves us, not because it is essential to Him. Indeed, our worship (especially the singing in most parishes) is art on God's fridge. The worship of the angels is simply a better brand of refrigerator art when compared to the ultimate Harmony of the Blessed Trinity. We must keep this in mind whenever we attempt spiritual works, such as prayer and fasting (for example, the 40 Days for Life).
Our morality, likewise, is for our benefit - not to meet some divine ideal. God is perfect and has no need of morality or of moral behavior on our part. Rather, all moral behavior is designed to make us happy in our humanity and any moral teaching that does not lead us to that end is not from God. This is why the remarks of then Cardinal Ratzinger about the disordered nature of homosexuality are so off the beam. For those who were born gay, the best way for them to be is gay. They are wonderfully made and our votes in Maryland in support of their right to marriage should reflect that, as the alternative is to say that fidelity and promiscuity are the same thing - an obvious lie.
Finally, there are the issues of charity and justice. We do not do charity because we are trying to earn points with God. Instead, we do so because we are already in God and God is in us (even the unbaptized) and our works are a reflection of the love that comes from the Creator. God uses us to help in His work, but it is not our work that we are doing, so we have nothing to boast of. That being said, we need to look for politicians to vote for who will create a charitable society, rather than one that is based on self-reliance, which has its root in hubris and the sin of Lucifer. We always need to ask ourselves, "Who is like to God?" and the answer is still the same. Nobody. Still, I would not vote for a lifetime supporter of Ayn Rand, even if he is Catholic.

Today marks one week since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. The Internet has come together, as they often do in cases like this, to try and show their support. I wanted to pass along a few of the great projects I've found.
Beanies for Brave Students
I found this project through The Curious Pug. The idea it to create beanies (stocking caps) for the entire Sandy Hook school. I plan on doing this one once we're back from Oregon. (There are specific rules, however, so definitely check out the link if you're interested.)
Kitchy Digitals fundraiser
All of the proceeds from the sale of this crosstitch pattern will be split between the Sandy Hook Support Fund and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
The pattern was inspired by a Mister Rogers quote: "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me. 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers—so many caring people in this world."
#26Acts movement
This project was inspired by a tweet by Ann Curry:
Newtown's heartbreak has a lot of us asking, "What can I do?" Thinking about this, I took to Twitter and asked people to imagine what would happen if all of us committed to 20 acts of kindness to honor each child lost in Newtown. I added, "I'm in. If you are, RT #20Acts."
Tens of thousands of people on Twitter and Facebook not only seized the idea, they increased it to #26Acts, to include the heroic teachers, and are launching acts of kindness big and small all over America. The acts are spreading overseas, including one tweeted from Borneo.This one can be done on so many levels. Even if you don't complete all 26, even one small gesture might make a huge difference in someone's life.
If you've heard of any more of these projects, please let me know in the comments and I will add them to the list.

One Small Victory
Jenny Jasik has a secret she can tell no one, not even her family, and if anything goes wrong, it may get her killed.
Life can change in just an instant. That's the harsh reality that Jenny Jasik faces when her son, Michael, is killed in an automobile accident. She is a single mother with two other children, Scott and Alicia. Ralph, her ex-husband, left her six years ago for a younger woman. He moved to California and has all but abandoned them. When Jenny sees an item in the newspaper about a special task force forming at the local police department, she goes to the station and demands to be part of that team. She stands firm in the face of objections from Chief Gonzales. He finally agrees to let her work with them as a Confidential Informant if she passes a physical fitness test and a psychological screening. He also tells her that if she works with them it will be in the strictest confidence. She is to tell no one. Not her kids. Not her mother. Not her best friend. Not even her dog.
As the weeks pass and Jenny gets deeper into the drug scene, hiding what she's doing from everyone becomes harder and harder. How many more lies can she tell to explain why she stays out half the night? Then there's the problem of Ralph. Scott has been dumping his frustration on his father, and Ralph threatens to start action to get the kids if Jenny doesn't stop whatever it is she's doing.
Further complications arise when Chico, the dealer Jenny has been buying from, disappears. The DEA agents report that unusual things are happening at the ranch where the Main Man does his business. There is concern for the safety of all involved in this sting and Jenny is offered a chance to get out, but she stays.
A plan develops to take down the Main Man, and for Jenny, that moment can't come soon enough. All she has to do is get the details of the big buy recorded, and then the police can arrest the Man. That scene unravels quickly, and Jenny is forced to shoot a man who is turning a gun on her. This was not part of the plan and definitely not something that Jenny wants to tell her children or her ex-husband.
Maybe Michael will understand.

Kapani is an exclusive camp situated on the banks of one of theLuangwaRiver's many ox-bow lagoons. It is located close to the main Mfuwe area of the South Luangwa, one of the finest National Parks in . It is a luxury safari lodge, accommodating just twenty guests and is open throughout the year. This is an ideal place from which to start your Zambian safari experience. Above all else the wildlife game viewing in the area close to this camp is as good as you will find anywhere in Zambia, if not Africa. Each of the eight standard suites has its own lounge with bar fridge and the beds have overhead fans inside their walk-in mosquito nets. Our two Lagoon Houses are even more spacious with private views and are ideal for honeymooners or those looking for a little more space and seclusion. The camp is on mains electricity and offers most modern facilities. A thatched building in the centre of this luxury safari lodge houses the lounge and library. It is pleasantly cool in the hot weather and warm and cozy in the cooler months with an open fire. According to the season, dining is al fresco with dinner taken either on the terrace, the spacious deck, or by the swimming pool. Private dinners can also be arranged for guests seeking a little more seclusion. The bar and dining area is set on a deck overlooking the Kapani Lagoon and adjacent grazing lawns. Some guests choose to miss the odd safari trip into the National Park in favour of staying in camp to see what wildlife will come wandering by. The location of the camp in the main Mfuwe area of theSouth Luangwaensures an excellent safari experience at all times of the year. The game drives and walks from this camp are as good as you will find in any of 's National Parks. We have a small gift shop offering books, clothes and local crafts as well as a secluded swimming pool at the far end of camp. Kapani means - place of mopane trees.

text: I was just putting together a utility class (a non-case-sensitive String Map implementation) and I happened to look at some code in java.lang.String: public int hashCode() { int h = hash; if (h == 0) { int off = offset; char val[] = value; int len = count; for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) { h = 31*h + val[off++]; } hash = h; } return h; } All the hallmarks of non-threadsafe code. I think this is only threadsafe because: a) In any race condition, it will always compute the same value (everything else is final) b) The field type is int, not long (atomic write for int, non-atomic for long) I have a feeling I'm right here, if only because otherwise nothing in the JDK that uses a String is likely threadsafe. -- Howard M.

A few years ago, where I work, I created a wiki for me and my co-workers. We work on a lot of old programs and to help with cross training, we put a lot of our notes in the wiki.
Sadly, the wiki was hosted on my machine and my machine has died. I can pull the drive out and hook it up to an enclosure and still see the files, etc. I want to know...is there a way to get the files/pages from that wiki somehow. I think they are stored in a mysql database somewhere. Yeah it sucks and I had a lot of stuff on that drive but the most important thing for me now is to get those notes (wiki pages).
Any help would be appreciated.

Go ahead. Drool all you want over photos of those eight-layer chocolate mocha wedding cakes.
While you're at Pinterest scrolling through the thousands of enticing photos of strapless gowns, cute puppies, breath-taking sunsets and stiletto heels, I'll be creating Boards around a common topic and using my pins, or images, to pull viewers back to my blog posts. Pinterest is the hot, hot, hot social media site that lets you create virtual pinboards, load them with photos, and link back to your website, or the site where you found them.
In January, Pinterest pushed more traffic to websites than Google+, YouTube and Twitter combined!
I created my first board just now and it's called "Best Ways to Get Free Publicity." Here's quick peek:
Each photo has the headline of the blog post underneath and links back to the post.
Now for the best part. Those posts are filled with content-rich tips and free advice, as well as links to products I sell at my website, links to the page where I explain all about The Publicity Hound Mentor Program and even affiliate links where I earn a commission for selling other people's products and services. You can follow The Publicity Hound on Pinterest here.
My Most Important Tip:
With so many concerns about copyright violation, it's imperative that you use Pinterest's "Pin It" button on your toolbar. This ensures that the photos you pin will be linked back to the website where you got them.
My Second Most Important Tip:
After you create an account and complete your profile, don't start creating boards unless you're fairly comfortable with the site.
Don't just start pinning willy-nilly without making sure that you credit the source. I started pinning a few weeks ago before I knew what I was doing. And I need to go back and make sure that every photo is sourced.
Want to Learn More About Pinterest?
I'll be explaining this cool technique for linking back to old blog posts, as well as beginner's tips and advanced strategies, when I host the webinar "How to Use Pinterest to Generate Clicks, Traffic, Links, Leads and Sales" at 3 p.m. Eastern Time today, Thursday, March 15. If the time is inconvenient for you, register anyway because I'm recording it and I'll email you the link to the video replay, the slides and the other materials within 72 hours.
After you create your first board, come back here, comment and give us the link so we can see what you've done. Then, after a few weeks, come back here again and report on what kind of traffic you're seeing from Pinterest.
If you need an invitation to Pinterest, email me at JStewart (at) PublicityHound.com with "Pinterest Invitation" in the subject line and I'll send you one.

Drawing is the fundamental skill of the visual arts that can - and should - be learned by all children.
Young Rembrandts teaches the drawing skills children need while developing learning skills that give children an academic advantage in the classroom.
Young Rembrandts is an exciting new educational, after-school drawing program in the Arab Middle East!
Young Rembrandts is an award winning art enrichment program that has given the power of drawing to thousands of young artists across the US, Canada, Germany and Korea. And now, we're excited to bring that power to the students in Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
What do we do? In each week's new exciting (and kid-tested!) lesson, we use a step by step method that assures every student is a creative success. As we learn and use technical drawing skills, we discover that all complex objects can be broken down into familiar shapes; then use problem solving skills, innovation, and imagination to put them all together into eye-popping masterpieces!
Using our unique 20+ year method students will also improve their fine motor skills, patience levels, focus and ability to stay on task. Best of all, they'll gain a new found confidence in a skill they never knew existed - the ability to say "I can do it!" And yes, all that learning comes with a big bunch of fun.
Bring our award winning, skill-enhancing, and affordable program to your school by contacting us at:

Massive thanks to everyone that came out to support our "Stop the Cuts" protest yesterday in our campaign to lobby the Leicester City Council reviews and cuts of Child and Youth services and voluntary organisations.
The Race Equality Centre Jobs & Skills Fair
The Race Equality Centre (TREC) supported by Jobcentre Plus and Highfields Centre hosted a Jobs & Skills Fair on Thursday 13 February 2014 at the Highfields Centre. Fifteen employers, training providers and advice agencies showcased their services and job opportunities. The event promoted employment and development opportunities to the people of Leicester. Over 500 individuals attended the event, 80% of whom were from racial minority communities.
Two workshops were also delivered by business mentors from TREC's Enterprising New Arrivals programme for people who wanted information on starting up a business. And, an internet café was set up for people who wanted access to online facilities to look for jobs.
The majority of the people attending said that they were satisfied with the quality of the information on offer from employers and service providers and with the overall event.
Exhibitors were each asked to provide structured, formal feedback on the benefits of the day. Richard Atkinson from Westminster Homecare who was advertising vacancies at the event stated:
"We were very impressed with the event yesterday and the standard of applicants we had. We are holding interviews for some 20 people who expressed an interest in our vacancies. But just to say that this was a well organised event and thank you for inviting us to take part."
It is hoped that this will be the first of a series of employment related activities organised with the public and voluntary sector working in partnership to improve employment outcomes for Leicester's residents.

Stuart Hall's
Stuart Hall's early work on racism and reaction articulated the effect of the world's history on shaping English history. He stated 'the outside history that is inside the history of the English ….[that] There is no English history without that other history.." With this he established himself as an essential critical theorist on matters of identity and ideology, articulating and expanding on theories of 'historical amnesia' – a concept that remarkably still as currency today. Following this introduction to critical thinking, Stuart Hall joined the Routledge Critical Thinkers and elaborated on his earlier work within the sub publication 'Racism and Resistance'.
Hall was one of the first academics to define and critically describe the notion of a multicultural society (which he distinguished from a multi-cultural state). He expressed the view that a successful British society would only be determined when individuals in Britain are recognised as having strong but different attachments – thus challenging the notion of a uniquely homogenous British cultural identity.
Stuart Hall has epitomised through his dialogue (written and verbal) the very essence of The Race Equality Centre's raison d'etre
The quality of this man has been summarised by Diane Abbott, the Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington who said: "For me he was a hero. A black man who soared above and beyond the limitations imposed by racism and one of the leading cultural theorists of his generation."

100 ml. / 3.4 fl oz:
December 1978, Armando's Le Club, Acapulco, Mexico. It's a sultry night of disco, plunging necklines and champagne-soaked skin. Lights flash and strangers kiss, but it's her, dancing, that commands the attention. She moves, panther-like, her honeyed skin creating an addictive sweetness and magnetism that only a deep chypre fragrance can deliver. She's met her match on the dance floor, and it's her animalic instinct that follows him outside, onto the golden beach, under a silvery moon. A floral chypre fragrance with notes of: Cannon ball tree flower (curupita), angelica root, Turkish rose, jasmin absolute, cardamom absolute, patchouli, civet, vetiver and a chypre accord. Olfactive pyramid: Top notes- Cannon ball tree flower (curupita), angelica root, carrot seed enriched essence, Turkish rose. Heart notes- Jasmin absolute "vintage crop", cardamom absolute, black buckwheat honey, ambergris. Background notes- Patchouli, civet, vetiver, cigarette smoke accord, chypre accord. Developed with Rodrigo Flores Roux.
A voluptuous chypre scent evoking the 1970s glamour of a beautiful Latin girl. Large 100 ml / 3.4 fl oz. bottle of the highest Italian quality with our signature 'A' engraved metal cap, as well as the newest technology for an invisible spray tube.
- ÉL and Ella were inspired by the decadence and glamour of Acapulco in the 70s. December in Acapulco was the obligatory stop in the jet set calendar, with lots of beach and pool time and endless partying. The 70s were an era of glamour and sensuality heightened in here by the heat, the magnificence of the bay and magical sunsets.
- With Él and Ella we were looking to create the impression of a scent macerating on skin, something more sensual and playful. The idea was to recreate the scent of HIM and HER just as they leave the disco, they come together and embrace…what would each smell like? HIM with his unbuttoned shirt and his burly scent, her with her plunging neckline and her voluptuous femininity. In ÉL and ELLA skin, sweat, cigarettes, champagne, sand and heat all come together under in a sophisticated way.

The Wizard Greenwie, who gave Mio the beauty.
Feeling and looking good are important to each
individual's emotional and physical wellbeing.
It often happens that children don't want to brush their teeth and take a shower. Some girls with the long hair don't like to comb it, probably because the process of combing after a night is really painful for the child. The parents have to convince and teach those children to do personal care.
This book will help your kid to understand that it's very important to maintain hygiene and look after themselves to look neat and find out how the tidiness helps in everyday life.
Generally, this book will affect the girls' feelings, but it will also serve as a good example for the boys that often don't notice their untied shoelaces.
Magnificent illustrations, made by the excellent painters (especially in the printed version of the book) won't leave you and your children indifferent. This book will also be a perfect present.
Buy our books and be closer to your child!age 2-8, Bedtime story, grades P-K, Liza Lucky, magic, picture book, self confidence, transformation, wellbeing
