Braces as an adult? No way. At least, that was what I thought when my dentist told me that I was going to have to see an orthodontist about my crooked teeth. But my teeth were so misaligned that they were causing me pain when I chewed, so I decided to at least look into it. Turns out braces today are nothing like the ones my friends had when I was a kid. Mine were practically invisible, and I didn't need to wear them that long. I started this blog to encourage other people like me who are nervous about the prospect of wearing braces as an adult. My straight smile is so worth the trips to the orthodontist, and wearing braces was nowhere near as bad as I thought. Read on to find out more about how you can straighten your smile.

Deciding on dental implants is a big decision because getting an implant requires surgery. Before you decide on getting an implant, here are 3 benefits to consider for implants versus dentures.
Long Life
First, dental implants have a long life span and are permanent. The actual implant or screw that goes into your jaw bone for a single implant should never have to be replaced through rest of your life.
Dentures, on the other hand, can get broken, and they may need to be replaced over time simply because they have been worn for many years. Dentures may also need to be remade if you lose more teeth and need to cover a bigger area of your mouth.
If you get implants, the only part of the implant that may need to be replaced is the crown that covers the little splint. Crowns can get worn or cracked, so this would be the only concern an implant should pose. Overall, though, dental implants last longer and cost less in the long run.
Less Discomfort
Second, dental implants are far more comfortable than dentures. Dentures can rub against your gums and cause them to feel sore. Also, sometimes the gripping solution does not hold the dentures in place very well, so they can slip out of your mouth as you eat. This could be embarrassing if you are in a public place eating or talking with dentures that are unstable.
When you get a dental implant, the pain will only last for a few days until the swelling goes down. Once you visit your dentist to get the crown and splint, the implant will feel like it is just another one of your teeth and should not cause discomfort.
The pain following surgery may be very uncomfortable, but the short duration of the pain outweighs the discomfort of dentures.
Low Maintenance
Lastly, implants are also low maintenance compared to dentures. Once you have the implant and the crown in place, you just have to brush your teeth normally.
When you get dentures, however, you have to brush them, take them out of your mouth, soak them in cleaning solution, remove the gum grip that is on them each day, and you also have to clean food out from underneath after eating sometimes.
The benefits of getting a dental implant outweighs the discomforts that come from dentures, so consider these things before you make a final decision and consult a professional, such as Oral Surgery Associates Inc, to get their opinion in the process.Share

GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo junior defender Julia Kim was voted the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Field Hockey Defensive Player of the Year and was one of four Knights tabbed All-Conference, announced Wednesday.
Kim landed first-team recognition while senior midfielder Tess Necaise, senior forward Gabriella Clare and sophomore midfielder Jordan Penkitis all garnered second-team honors.
Kim anchored a defensive unit that allowed a conference-low 20 goals and a 1.24 goals against average this fall, including six shutouts. Midway through the season, Geneseo put together a streak of four-consecutive shutouts and nearly 350 minutes spanning six matches without allowing a goal. The Knights also finished in the top-30 nationally in scoring margin, out-scoring their opponents by 1.75 goals per game. In her second season with the team after transferring from Division I Albany, Kim finished fourth on the team with 11 points on five goals and an assist. She was credited with the game-winning tally in the squad's 5-2 victory at Keuka (Sept. 19) and was credited with both of the Knights' goals in their 3-2 setback to New Paltz in the SUNYAC Tournament Semifinals to land All-Tournament recognition.
Necaise copped her second all-conference nod after also earning first-team recognition in 2016. She was seventh on the team with nine points on three goals and three assists this fall, including two tallies in the team's 7-0 over Nazareth (Oct. 21). She finished her Knights' career making 74 total appearances, including 65-consecutive starts over the last three years, to go along with 42 points on 14 goals and 14 assists.
Clare was named a second-team all-star for the second-straight season after tying for sixth in the SUNYAC with 23 points, including 10 goals that ranked sixth. She put together a four-match scoring streak that included three-straight games scoring two goals, notching two goals and an assist in the Knights' back-to-back 5-0 victories over SUNYAC-rivals Brockport (Sept. 26) and Oswego (Sept. 29). Clare closed her collegiate career seventh on Geneseo's career scoring list with 78 points and sixth with 32 goals while starting 58 of the 73 appearances she made in Blue and White.
Now a back-to-back second-team all-star, Penkitis totaled 13 points on three goals and seven assists that were the seventh-highest total in the conference. She was credited with a goal and an assist in the Oswego and Nazareth victories while assisting both of Geneseo's goals in the SUNYAC Semifinals versus New Paltz.
Geneseo finished the season with a 9-7 mark under first-year head coach Margaret McConnell, including a 4-2 SUNYAC record to clinch its ninth-consecutive postseason appearance. Seeded fourth for the SUNYAC Tournament, the Knights came up short, 3-2, in their semifinal matchup at top-seeded and eventual champion New Paltz.

Stone Age Hunter Gatherers
Here historical expert Martin Patterson shares his vast knowledge of the Stone Age Hunter Gatherer period. His passion and skill is obvious as he shows us a range of replica tools and equipment he has fashioned from natural materials including a flint-headed axe, a scythe from deer antler, a fire-hardened digging stick and a range of spears for hunting - explaining how these would have been used and maintained in the Stone Age. Martin shows us needles from bone; how pine resin, soot and bees wax can make a sort of glue and how stinging nettle fibre would have been used like string to make trapping nets. He stresses the importance of looking after the natural environment - then and now - to encourage new growth and to ensure a regular harvest. http://www.handsonhistory.co.uk/.

The Ringer's James Yorke argues that Barkley was a waste of money for the Blues.
Ross Barkley, £15m, Everton to Chelsea
"One Premier League start, in which he lasted 54 minutes in a surprise 3-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth, and two substitute appearances in cup games make up the sum total of his game time for his new team. That might seem like bad luck, but the issue wasn't hard to see: a mid-August hamstring injury meant that he played a total of zero minutes for Everton this season before his move.
"Barkley hadn't kicked a ball in over eight months by the time he took the field for Chelsea. Even if you concede that he must have proved some level of fitness to Chelsea in order pass a medical, a further hamstring problem has meant Barkley missed all of February and March and is only now being slowly integrated back into the squad, with the season all but over.
"And that's before getting into the other question: Is he even good enough for a club that won the Premier League just last season? He could still come good, but with his Everton contract expiring at the end of this season, Chelsea could have saved themselves a good chunk of change, waited for the player to prove his fitness, and landed him in the summer.
"Instead, they now own a player who has barely played for a year, and hasn't proved his fitness. Why didn't they wait?"

It's been quite a week again in Trumpland. These last couple days, hearings for the Russia investigation have gotten into full swing. We'll be bringing you more on that next week, but this week we're taking a break from that whole affair to focus on something even bigger – climate change.
Last week's big headline was of course Trump's withdrawing the US from the Paris climate agreement. This week, therefore, we have one major action item on climate change, along with three smaller items. Do as much of the first one as you can, but don't forget the others as well! (Note that the 4th one is very urgent!)
1) Defend our climate
2) Keep helping to #FlipThe6th!
3) Don't forget about healthcare!
4) [URGENT][Boston-local] Stop the deportation of Francisco Guardado!
Meanwhile, keep recruiting more people to take the pledge as well!
1) Defend our climate
Last week, Trump announced that the US will formally withdraw from the Paris climate agreement – our best hope of avoiding catastrophic climate change and ensuring a safe future for ourselves and our children. The withdrawal is a gross abdication of US leadership (especially since the US is the biggest carbon polluter in history) and has drawn widespread international condemnation. While some analysts argue that formal withdrawal may be better than staying in the agreement as nominally-participating climate deadbeats, there's no doubt that this is a body blow to our hopes of keeping the world within the so-called 'safe limit' of 2 degrees Celsius.
In the absence of federal leadership, it now falls to us to keep our climate livable. Numerous states are stepping up to fill the void – California, New York, and Washington have led the way in reaffirming their commitment to the Paris climate targets, and many others have followed, including Massachusetts. Just this week, Hawaii became the first state to formalize that commitment in law. Thousands of cities, companies, and other organizations have joined in as well, with a formal statement recently released.
What you can do:
- Call your governor and ask them to reaffirm your state's commitment to the Paris Agreement, if they haven't already done so – or better yet, ask them to sign on to a formal statement, such as We Are Still In.
- Companies and investors have a big role to play here as well – while governments make the rules, it's often up to companies to actually implement them.
- Hundreds of companies have already expressed their support. If you work at or are otherwise connected with a major company, consider asking your employer if they'll join in.
- In particular, most of the CEOs on Trump's various advisory councils have yet to speak up about the withdrawal, except for Elon Musk (Tesla) and Bob Iger (Disney), who have both stepped down in response. Check this list (or the Wall-of-us version here) to see where these CEOs stand, and pressure them to speak up! You can call their companies or post on social media – major corporations like these pay close attention to their Twitter and other public feeds.
- Similarly, major investors can have an enormous influence here – large investors just successfully passed a shareholder resolution forcing Exxon to take better account of climate change in their business plans. If you have retirement savings or other investment accounts with a major fund (e.g. Vanguard, Fidelity, State Street, etc.), tell them you'd like them to speak up, both publicly and in shareholder meetings.
- Universities in particular have a duty to set a good example here, and indeed many university leaders have likewise spoken in support of Paris. Hundreds have signed on to the We Are Still In statement, and earlier this week Ivy League university presidents joined many others in declaring their formal support. If you're affiliated with a university that hasn't stepped up yet, ask them to do so as well!
- While there's not much Congress can do directly about US participation in the Paris Agreement, it's still worth making our voices heard – especially since formal US withdrawal won't happen until the day after the 2020 election.
- Finally, think about how you individually can reduce your carbon footprint. While climate change is very much a systemic and structural problem, every bit of individual action still helps! Check out this useful list of simple things you can do.
- For more information and ideas, check out Indivisible's detailed guide.
2) Keep helping to #FlipThe6th!
The Georgia 6th District special election is on June 20 – that's in under two weeks! With last week's news, it's worth noting that Republican candidate Karen Handel supported Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, while Democrat Jon Ossoff spoke out against the move. All the more reason to take back the seat!
What you can do:
- Donate to the campaign, or better yet, volunteer!
- If it seems like we're giving a lot of attention to this one race, there's good reason for that:
- The race is incredibly close and could be our first major electoral victory of the Trump era
- It's great practice for building organizing capacity for future electoral campaigns
- As we saw with the Obamacare repeal vote in the House, which passed by just four votes, every single seat really counts!
3) Don't forget about health care!
Speaking of health care – with so much else in the news, don't forget that the abominable AHCA is still lumbering its loathsome way through the Senate. Senate Republicans are reportedly optimistic about the bill's chances after fresh meetings this week, and they may push for a vote before the end of this month. For the sake of the 23 million who would lose access to health care and the millions more whose costs would skyrocket, we have to stop them!
What you can do:
- Stay abreast of the current status of the legislation with this tracker.
- Keep calling your senators (and possibly your governor too)! For details, see our previous 'Defend our Healthcare' action item.
4) [URGENT][Boston-local] Stop the deportation of Francisco Guardado!
Francisco Rodriguez Guardado is a father of two and a janitor at MIT. He's lived in the US since 2006, mostly in Chelsea and the greater Boston area. Francisco is facing an ICE deportation hearing next week. Support the campaign to halt his unjust deportation, led by SURJ Boston, Jobs With Justice, Chelsea Collaborate, Mijente and other groups.
A little more about Francisco (information courtesy of SURJ Boston) – his children are US citizens, aged 10 and 5, and another child is on the way. In addition to working at MIT, he runs his own carpet cleaning company. He is a member of his children's school parent committee, of the community organization Chelsea Collaborative, of the church Tabernaculo biblico seguidores de Jesus, and a union member of 32BJ SEIU (Service Employees International Union) at MIT. Mr. Rodriguez pays his taxes and contributes to his community, church, children's school, and workplace. There is no reason for ICE's attempting to deport him other than his immigration status.
That's all for this week – as usual, keep encouraging people to take the pledge, and please share any thoughts or questions with us at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Yours in solidarity and resistance,
Solidarity MIT

Last week she was picking up around the house and asked her daughter to take something to her room and set it on her chair. Her daughter responded, "You mean the chair you use to pray in?"
This little darling's innocent comment awakened this mom to how
the school year and busy routine had robbed her of this important time. Plus, the mom was made aware of how much little eyes do see.
It is not a prayer chair that matters, it is that we pray. Yes,
life is busy, but we can't let the urgent rob us of what is really important.
If you have little ones needing you from sun rise to sunset, don't let that keep you from talking with Jesus as you walk along through out the day. If the actual sit and read time seems like a luxury you cannot afford, then grab one verse and meditate on it all day long. God's word is powerful; hiding one verse at a time in your heart like this may be the richest season of your life.

One thought on "Newton School Superintendent David Fleishman Called Out"
Newton is another over-rated , over priced, politically correct bastion of the hypocritical. Some sections of Boston and the inner suburbs have just as good housing. I notice that you rarely if ever see "progressive" wealthier suburbs advocating for low income housing in their suburbs. Just residents only signs everywhere.

25 Mar What questions should you ask your Cape Coral builder before signing a contract?
Posted at 10:08h in Uncategorized 0 Comments
Building a home is both costly and time consuming. It can also be among the most stressful events in a home owner's life. Asking appropriate questions of your Cape Coral homebuilder before signing a contract is key to making the construction smooth, from contract to completion.
We've compiled a list of questions to ask prospective Cape Coral homebuilder before signing a contract. This is a basic list, so please feel free to add to this list when interviewing Cape Coral builders.
- How long have you been in business? Approximately how many homes have you built?
- What licensure do you hold? Are you licensed and insured in Florida? How many people on your team are licensed?
- Are you familiar with local and state building codes?
- Are you a member of any professional organizations? Do you attend professional meetings and continuing education courses?
- Do you offer a home warranty? If yes, what is covered and what is the process for getting something fixed once construction is complete?
- How do you communicate with customers? Can I call or email the person in charge of my project? What is the time frame for returning calls or emails? How often should I expect to receive updates on the progress of my home?
- How do you handle things when I decide to make a change to my plans? Are there additional costs or fees? How quickly will you let me know what these costs might be?
- How many homes do you currently have under construction? Will there be one person in of my job and do you have enough people to ensure that my home will be monitored appropriately?
- I live in the area and plan to visit the site frequently. Is there a problem with my being on site?
- Do you have recent references that you can provide? Recent customers? Subcontractors? Other professional references?
- Do you have a process for inspecting the home, during construction and at the completion of the project?
- Can I make changes to the basic floor plans? How extensive can those changes be?
- How long will the construction of my home take? What is your percentage of on-time completion? What external factors might impact this timeline?
- When do I need to make decisions about finishes in the home? Do you have a process for this?
- What is your greatest strength as a Cape Coral builder?
In our next blog post, we'll begin answering these questions!

This cake makes the BEST birthday cake. And it's a good one for me to make as, incase you hadn't noticed, I LOVE baking with chocolate! It seems to be making quite a regular appearance in my kitchen. Anyway, I made this cake for my boyfriends birthday last year and his mum, Catherine, liked the cake so much that she asked for the recipe so I thought it was only right to make her one this year for her birthday. After all, everyone needs a cake on their birthday don't they and I'm only too happy to oblige! Plus it fills your kitchen with a lovely orangey aroma whilst you're making it so everyone's a winner.
My Mum gave me this recipe. I think she might have got it from one of the Mums at my primary school but I'm not actually sure. It's a long standing one anyway as it's hand written and the ingredients amounts are all given in ounces (eek!) so I'm going to convert it on here for you all, and also for my future reference as I'm sure I'll be making a few more of these in the future.
If you want to add a little something extra, then i would recommend adding some jaffa cakes to the top. the cake is literally like one big jaffa cake so they make a tasty little addition. Or you could add some sprinkles. Literally anything you like to make it a bit more personal for the recipient.
For the cake
170g margarine
170g caster sugar
3 medium eggs, beaten
170g self raising flour, sifted
2 tablespoons whole milk
finely grated zest of 2 large oranges
For the syrup
114g caster sugar
juice of 2 large oranges
For the topping
114g dark chocolate
14g unsalted butter
Pre-heat your oven to 150°C. Grease and line a loaf tin.
In a bowl, mix together your margarine and sugar. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time to avoid your mixture curdling.
Add the milk and orange rind. Bit of a side note and I know I've said it before, but if you don't have a Microplane then I would strongly suggest buying one as they're SO SO good for finely grating!
Then fold in the sifted flour. Next, put the mixture in to your lined loaf tin.
Bake in the oven for 55 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Take the cake out of the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.
While the cake is cooling you can make syrup. For this, you simple mix together the sugar and orange juice.
When the cake has completely cooled, use your skewer to make lots of holes in the top of the cake. Transfer your cake to a shallow container and pour the syrup over the top of the cake. Leave for around 15 minutes so that the cake can absorb the syrup and gain a lovely flavour! After the 15 minutes, you can re-pour your syrup for extra taste. Once you're happy it's absorbed enough of the syrup, move to a clean container.
Melt the chocolate and butter together and spread over the top of the cake. It's easiest to use a palette knife for this so you can avoid any drips going down the sides! I would also advice adding it in blobs like I've done as it makes it easier to spread.
Keep in an air tight container, or in the fridge. This cake will keep for 3 days.
Enjoy! X

A Blackpool woman who has 'reversed her diabetes' through her diet is continuing her work in educating others.
Ever since Debra Scott was diagnosed with diabetes in 2017, she began researching how to manage the condition and after trying a low carbohydrate diet, she managed to reverse the effects - without medication.
She went from 14st 7lbs to 11st 6lbs in just six months and has been speaking about her experiences at various events. She will be at free The Health and Wellbeing Roadshow at Blackpool Tower Ballroom on Monday, November 25, from 9am until 3pm.
The 57-year-old also appeared on ITV's This Morning in September to share her advice with the nation.
Read more: Blackpool grandmother's low-carb diet helps reverse diabetes diagnosis and Gran turned around her health, her diabetes diagnosis and lost weight by cutting carbs
She said: "I just want to get my story out there to help people. Diabetes is big in my family and my mum, Anna Beattie, who died 14 years ago, really struggled with it, as it affected her eyesight and kidneys.
"When I was diagnosed, I was given a leaflet which stated we could eat what we want and there were no restrictions. But actually I went on diabetes forums which told me to ignore this and actually lower the carbs. As a result, you need to inject less insulin. I read about what sugars were in different foods. For example, I didn't realise carbohydrates turned into blood sugar. A banana has around 10tsp of sugar which is fine if you are not diabetic, but if you are diabetic, that puts your blood sugar levels up."
Debra, a mother-of-two, with one grandchild, now operates low carb clinics at the Central West Primary Care surgeries: Adelaide Street Family Practice; Harris Medical Centre; South King Street Medical Centre; Elizabeth Street Surgery and St Paul's Medical Centre.
She added: "This is for anyone struggling with diagnosis and we also have a patient to patient social prescribing, where patients help other patients."
Patients can phone Adelaide Street Surgery to book in 01253 620725.

These past few days have been hard for most of us due to the many senseless deaths that have occurred. Although I don't anyone that have died lately, I still always grieve as if I knew them personally, I grieve more for the people who knew them that are left behind.
The 2 sad realities of death
- We must move on…
I used to think it was insensitive for people to decide to "live life to the fullest" upon the the death of someone. But the sad reality and maybe a little insensitive reality is that, LIFE MUST GO ON, more importantly and beyond our control, life DOES move on. I grieve for the people who have lost their loved ones more so than the death of such person because, their families and friends are forced to move on. Immediately.
Most people are consumed with various responsibilities, from taking care of their families, jobs, themselves, etc…so where is the time to grieve? How long is too long that it doesn't appear that you've abandoned your important responsibilities? how long can you grieve and also appreciate the living? how soon is too soon to laugh? to go to the movies? Can you go to the wedding of your other friend? Can you go to the naming ceremony? should you go?
Sometimes it sucks that life must go on. By next week something else would have happened, good or bad, that will demand our attention and our emotions. We will forget the people that died and won't remember them and pray for their families till next year, when we are reminded that it is their death anniversary. It is so unfortunate.
- Death awaits us all
Another thought that always lingers in my mind but becomes prevalent in the event of someones death is the reality that, we are all going to die.
When I have this thought, I always wonder how things will be for my friends and family when I die, and also how things will be for me when any of my friends and family die before me. I become so aware of my mortality and that of others even more and it scares me. It scares me because I don't know how I can prepare for such a thing and how I can ease my anxiety about it.
So the question is what do we do with this reality? How do we live with this knowledge? I don't know the answer.

Cinn city
A tour of Tulsa's cinnamon rolls
Tally's Good Food Café
Greg Bollinger
Roll. Bun. Swirl. Snail. Whatever you may call the cinnamon-sugar pastry rolled to perfection and topped with glaze or cream cheese frosting, it's an important staple of breakfast—or dessert, or lunch, or dinner. (And yes, cinnamon snail is a legitimate term for a cinnamon roll, in case you hadn't heard it before. I hadn't.)
I'm something between cinnamon roll fan and enthusiast—not quite sophisticated enough to be a connoisseur—though I'm thinking that probably describes the majority of lovers of this sweet treat. You'll find cinnamon swirls everywhere in Tulsa, each one different from the next. And as exciting as that variety may be, some of us don't want to play cinnamon roll roulette when we just need a strong cup of coffee and some sugary bread in our bellies.
These five places are not the only spots with good swirls, but they each have a distinct character worth noting—and they're available every day of the week, so you can get your fix whenever the craving strikes. Here's what you need to know to be an informed cinnamon snail consumer in Tulsa.
Tally's Good Food Café
1102 S. Yale Ave. and 6100 S. Sheridan Rd.
$3.50, add $1 for pecans
If you're too tired when you order a giant Tally's cinnamon roll, you might be tempted to use this fluffy, doughy delight as a pillow for your weary head. It's that soft. Topped with zigzagging frosted glaze, this saccharine swirl will satisfy your sweet tooth and then some. Bring friends to share with, because you probably won't finish this one by yourself. This is the cinnamon roll dreams are made of.
6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily (Yale)
6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily (Sheridan)
Dilly Diner
402 E. 2nd St. | $6.95
Another sweetie, Dilly's roll comes with either glazed frosting and pecans or whipped cream cheese frosting. (I went ahead and got the cream cheese frosting and candied pecans.) Dubbed "The Jed" after the owner Elliott Nelson's son, the golden edges offer a warm, flaky greeting when you cut into the roll. The cream cheese icing on top is a tart contrast to the gooey compote between the swirls of bread, and the pecans on top added a nice crunchy texture.
7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday–Thursday
7 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday
8 a.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday
8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday
Savoy — Breakfast Any Day
6033 S. Sheridan Rd. | $3.99
I can't stress this enough: If you want one of these bad boys, make sure you get there early because Savoy's cinnamon rolls are made fresh daily at 7 a.m. This softball-sized swirl is perfect if you need a pastry for breakfast. The texture is well-balanced, making this quite the sophisticated, adult cinnamon roll. The cinnamon-sugar mixture twisted inside is present but not too goopy. The bread is soft and light, and as you get to the center, the roll evolves from a slightly golden crunch on the outside to a soft, delectable center.
6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily
Jane's Delicatessen
2626 E. 11th St. | $4 or $8+
The cinnamon roll at Jane's Delicatessen is probably the biggest curve ball of the bunch, because it's made from sourdough. The texture isn't as doughy as your typical roll, but the fluffy bread is easy to tear and share. Mixed with cream cheese frosting, the combination creates a tart contrast to the sweetness in between the swirling layers. "On the weekends we have the ones that are the size of the plate," said co-owner Dane Tannehill. "Most of the time they're $8 but can go up to $10 depending on how much they rise." During the week, they are about half that size.
7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily
Phill's Diner
3310 E. 32nd St. | $1.99
If I had to sum up Phill's roll in one phrase, it would be cinnamon-sugar explosion. The spongy, delicious bread is topped with a classic glaze that fills the swirl's nooks and crannies, collecting in a sugary pool in the base of the plate. The cinnamon-sugar mixture wasn't overbearing, but I appreciated the texture in every bite. This one's circumference is bigger than a softball but smaller than a football.
6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily

The organ is a very fine chamber organ dating from the
first half of the nineteenth century; probably around 1840. It is inscribed
R. Nicholson, Organ Builder, Rochdale. Richard Nicholson traded in his
own name from about 1832-1861 and it was his son who founded Nicholson's
of Worcester.
I was not convinced of the originality of the swell box on my visit but its presence is more likely having discovered later in my inspection that One stop, a flute was non-original; we have recreated an Hautboy on this site (modelled on historical evidence and influenced by that we recreated at Gooderstone).
During my inspection I had cause to bring on the stopped diapason which, because of a broken stop action and a tight slide, had not spoken for many years; to my surprise and delight this stop was remarkably "in tune" to a musical unequal temperament such as was obviously used before the advent of "equal temperament" tuning. With so few examples of original unequal tuning available this was a remarkable find and one that we carefully recorded and documented before restoration. As the metal pipework had never had tuning slides fitted it became possible to discover and restore the original tuning system of the organ. The facade pipes were all covered in gold leaf; it became wise to reguild all of the pipes and the result is spectacular.

Bangalore's real estate growth has been off the charts over the past decade. Railway minister suresh prabhu, during his visit to the town final week, had requested railway officials to expedite the continued mutp-2 initiatives and likewise indicated that some of the Residential Properties In Mumbai mutp-three projects might be inaugurated during prime minister narendra modi's visit to the town in october end, forward of the 2017 civic polls. The act recognises that a big land parcel or a township isn't developed at one go. In fact real property builders might want to change plans of the next projects launched within the township. Residential property market of mumbai is in the lively mode from the final two years. To manage all these projects, there is a big requirement for graduates of hospitality management in india.
Raheja universal is chosen as a "enterprise super model" in 2008 and "consulmer tremendous brand" in 2009-10.raheja common has an ability to establish land and develop tasks with potential for capital appreciation. Supplied by probably the most respected builders in panvel- ekadanta realtors, this challenge is sweet for small families and bachelors who want to spend money on an condo. In october 2011,, the corporate made a tie up with common builders, whereby gpl will act as the Residential Property Mumbai development supervisor, for creating approximately 0.four million square feet of residential villas, spread over 14.5 acres at electronic metropolis, bengaluru. The environmental clearance for the coastal highway venture, estimated to be built at a cost of rs 8,000 crore is pending with the state government. Throughout the year, the corporate signed mou for development of challenge at pune. Mumbai real property has been by way of a road that was at greatest jittery over the last few years. Fadnavis additionally interacted with us industry executives from the us-india business council (usibc) in new york.
These new projects will probably be launched in thane, kandivali, mira street and karjat in mumbai whilst the initiatives in pune will likely be launched at balewadi, dhanori and market yard. We are presently creating residential, commercial and township initiatives New Under Construction Projects In Mumbai unfold throughout 11.89 million square meters in twelve cities. In keeping with the financial occasions the actual property market has corrected by 30 %. In all probability among the projects will probably be inaugurated during prime minister narendra modi's visit to town. I try to perceive, analyse and predict changes of the true estate sector of india & present it to you for a greater understanding & resolution. Further, the realty companies must ensure to present data on their previous and other initiatives regularly by the maharera website. 2. A building differs from a tower in that the previous is taken into account to be a structure that is designed for residential, business, or manufacturing functions.
The society ought to prepare a comparative chart and, after checking the advantage, popularity, technical functionality, experience, financial standing, quality of development and profitable completion of initiatives, it should select the builder. Ask yourself the place they'll stay and how you can get your real property license in texas to make a profit from the growth. According to the official sources, shopping for a residential property in these towers would value anywhere between rs four.5 crore and rs 7-crore. They have set up a advertising division that target to fetch rs 3000 crore by way of auctions this 12 months. Nonetheless, negotiating with 1,167 farmers who owned this land proved to be a tedious activity for metropolis and industrial improvement company (cidco), the state authorities arm for infrastructure improvement and the nodal company for the airport project. It will be the tallest one in the city with its 41-flooring, way forward than 35-story south metropolis, 28-story hiland park and chatterjee international, which sports 24-storys.

In many countries site management plans are not very precise so an investor interested in constructing a crematorium faces the risk of unfavourable interpretation of land-use plan by local authorities. Many times, planning authorities try to refuse the permission and push that decision to other superior authorities or court. That creates delays for the investor and possible loss. In case of superior authorities or court the experience of the crematorium designer has a great importance. Lack of experience, some minor errors in documentation, that are not important in case of any other building, can lead to the refusal of construction permit for crematorium.
That's why it's important to work with an experienced crematorium designer, who knows where a danger is, how to avoid administrative "mines" in the process of getting the construction permit, which procedures are necessary, and what local officials can and cannot do or ask for.
It's always important the scope of the project documentation when evaluating the price of the construction project. We offer a complete construction project, including the gas, water, sewage, electrical installations. Some of companies offer only the general architectural project. In that case the price of the project is lower but can cause protests of local residents at different stages of getting the final construction permit.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- The 2nd annual The Game Awards rocked the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles Thursday night celebrating the best video games in the industry along with new, world premiere trailers for upcoming titles.
Hosted by the show's creator Geoff Keighley, the event was live streamed online across various video game channels such as Twitch, YouTube, Playstation Network, Xbox Live, Steam and sponsor go90.
CD Projekt Red's critically acclaimed fantasy open world epic "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" won big taking home three awards for Game of the Year, Developer of the Year and Best Roleplaying Game. The title faced stiff competition from the likes of Bethesda's "Fallout 4," From Software's "Bloodborne," Konami's "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain," and Nintendo's "Super Mario Maker" among others.
In a surprising unscripted moment, Keighley slammed "Metal Gear Solid V" publisher Konami after learning that series creator and celebrated game designer Hideo Kojima would not be on hand to accept the award for Best Action/Adventure Game. The game's voice actor Kiefer Sutherland accepted the award in his place.
"Mr. Kojima had every intention of being with us tonight, but unfortunately he was informed by a lawyer representing Konami just recently that he would not be allowed to travel to tonight's award ceremony to accept any awards," Keighley said referencing reports of the nasty breakup between the developer and studio following the release of "The Phantom Pain." "It's inconceivable to me that an artist like Hideo would not be allowed to come here and celebrate with his peers and his fellow teammates," Keighley said.
The night was highlighted by exclusive never-before-seen trailers for upcoming game's including "Far Cry Primal," "Star Citizen" and "Uncharted 4." As for new announcements, Telltale Games teased an upcoming Batman game for 2016.
The nights big surprise however came after renowned studio Double Fine announced that a sequel to their beloved psychic platformer "Psychonauts" would finally be developed if fans can raise $3.3 million on new crowdfunding platform Fig.
The Game Awards also took a moment to pay tribute to former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata who died in July at the age of 55. Nintendo of America president Reggie Files-Aime took the stage to reflect on Iwata's life and his many accomplishments in the gaming industry. "Mr. Iwata wanted Nintendo to be about putting smiles on people's faces," Fils-Aime said. "Nintendo at its heart is about making us feel younger than we are today."
"The man was fearless," he continued. "Remember how you felt when you first heard the word Wii.... You may have been puzzled, but he already knew. He had already heard the criticism internally, but he always championed an idea he truly believed in."

Why am I BuckarooBanzai? Why are you BLANK?
Posted 17 July 2006 - 09:55 PM
Bonsai – rough translation "small container gardening" or "tray gardening." Bonsai is the art of miniaturizing a plant/tree through root binding, pruning and carefully controlled hydration. To most practitioners, the art of Bonsai is an expression of Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhists, after all, were the first to perfect the art of Bonsai and introduce it to the world.
Banzai – rough translation "ten thousand years." First, that is a VERY rough translation. Banzai, in Japanese, has very significant cultural implications that are simply not carried or implied by this translation. It should also be stated that in Kanji (the Chinese pictographic words that compose part of Japanese logographic writing), the character for "ten thousand" (the second character of the "word" Banzai) can also be used to express infinity. Infinity, in Kanji, means a LOT more than does our word "infinity." Infinity, in Kanji, is a spiritual expression, not a mathematical one. Banzai, in Kanji, directly connotes honor and/or an honorable leader.
Buckaroo – Another word for a Vaquero or a "working cowboy." Rough translation: "a hired hand who works on horseback."
I am WAY too hot headed to consider myself Zen; Bonsai, as a personal moniker, would be dishonest and (therefore) unacceptable.
So, though I strongly considered using the name "BuckarooBonsai" (lots of fun double entendre there) I choose instead "BuckarooBanzai" as my Mycotopia pseudonym.
I choose it partially because I freakin' LOVE that movie (The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension). I can't explain why, but that movie is, to me, an encapsulation of the 80's. The time during which I came of age.
But I choose BuckarooBanzai MOSTLY because I'm a nut for linguistics and the derivation roots of words.
To me, that word "BuckarooBanzai" (and I left the space out very intentionally, it is INTENDED to be read as one word), connotes a very specific meaning:
"The honorable cowboy who lives forever."
Or, more specifically, applying my own connotations and derivations, BuckarooBanzi is a specific reference to one human archetype: THE GUNSLINGER.
Naming myself Roland Deschain just seemed a little too easy/obvious.
And that is why I'm BuckarooBanzai.
If any of you feel like sharing the reasons behind choosing your pseudonym, I would LOVE to hear them!!!
And by the way, "because it sounded cool" is just as valid a reason for choosing your pseudonym as mine was.
Different strokes, you know?

The name I have chosen is Duncan. It comes from the movie Highlander. His name was Duncan Mc Cloud of the clan McCloud. Born in the Hills of Scottland in the early 1600. He is the Chosen one, there can only be 1. For he is immortal and can not die.
I too seem to feel that way. I was involved in a car/ tractor trailer accident some 17 years ago which should have by all means have taken my life. I hit the fuel tank of the big rig with the front left corener of my car which was a miracle that I first off didnt cause it to blow up and secondly I manged not to go under the truck with my small car and have the rear wheel drive over me and crush me. I ended up in a ditch with a small bruise on my arm. Now my car was totaled and that was painful. I have had other experiences to the same liking and have been spared for a reason or another.
I guess my life purpose hasnt been forfilled yet and my life must go on. I am sure I will add to this as more comes to me.

From one Highlander to another:
Here's to them... brought us this far
And to them we've yet to see,
Them that made us what we are
And them that we will be.
Here's to them that are in need
And to them who help them too,
Them that follow them that lead
And them who's heart's are true.
Here's to them that love this land
All them of Scottish creed,
Raise them now to that Almighty Hand
That spread them Scottish seed.
My Gran'da taught me that one.

Well off and witty

I was getting into playing a MUD (text advanture game online with hundreds of people, the precurser to EverQuest style games) back in 97 or so, and they told me that the name i used was junk, and i needed to come up with a more medieval one.
For some reason i just HAD to be russian (i do have some russian blood in me, along with all the rest of the viking type countries), so i checked out the 8x4 foot world map i have hanging in the living room. After looking at all the different russian cities, i found Pskov. Despite the fact that i still don't know how to pronounce it (i think the ps is like the ps in psionics), i liked it.
By itself it didn't seem like enough of a name, so i added the insky.
Presto! Pskovinsky.
Of course, i screwed up way back then, it should be Pskovinski, russians don't put Y's on the end.

As a child growing up I always seemed to be at a friends house saturday night to watch David Carridene (we didn't have a tv). I absolutely LOVED that show. It shaped my beliefs more than any other external influence (family not included).
I really love working neon because to me it is true alchemy, earth (sand) plus fire equals glass add to that plasma and I literaly bring light to this world. Allbeit the scarlet whore of the advertising world, still it is both an art and a science.
I wanted something that included both my love for neon (glass) and the shaui chiao (kung fu) I was devoting so much time to. Recalling Master Po's engrish translation of his favorite student's nickname, I knew I had found my pseudonym.....

I actually have read this series completely out of order, but after reading Wheels Up by Annabeth Albert, I couldn't wait to read Dustin's brother Dylan's story. Each of the books in the Out of Uniform series is a standalone though, so you can read they in any order though they are interconnected. I enjoyed At Attention as much as I did Wheels Up and I am already anxious to read more in this series.
Lieutenant Apollo Flores thought that he could handle it all, but after losing his husband and being left alone to raise his twin daughters, he knows he needs help. His best friend's younger brother is back in town and is looking for a place to stay, but Dylan is no longer his friend's kid brother he remembers having a crush on him. With both of them seeing each other in a new light and being around one another more, the attraction between them is more than they can fight. But Apollo will have to let go of his past if he hopes to have any kind of future with Dylan.
I really liked these two. Seeing them in Wheels Up, I couldn't wait to see how they had got to the point they were. Their story definitely didn't disappoint, and I enjoyed seeing them figure out the attraction between them. I loved that they had some history, and I felt for both of them. Dylan had had a crush on Apollo when he was young, but the feelings only intensified as he got older and seeing him as a man with kids only made Dylan want him more. I felt for him though because Apollo had been married to someone else and had kids and a life with him, and that was hard at times for Dylan to get past. It would make anyone insecure at times and my heart went out to him. Same went for Apollo, having lost a man he loved and the future he thought was his. They each had things to figure out and move past, but I knew that these two were good for one another. Their connection and chemistry were strong, and I knew that they had to make it work because they belonged together.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. The characters were great, easy to like and relate to, with several layers to them. I really felt connected to them and invested in their story. I loved Apollo's girls and the way that Dylan was with them. They immediately took to each other, and their relationship was just as special as Dylan's was with Apollo. This series is one that I am really enjoying, and I can't wait to continue. If you like steamy, sweet and emotional M/M romance stories these are definitely books worth checking out, especially if you like sexy military heroes!

3 Creative Root to Stem Recipes You Need to Try
In honor of Earth Day, Plated's Head Chef Elana Karp is sharing three of her favorite root to stem recipes.
Head Chef Elana Karp is sharing three of her favorite root to stem recipes, which feature carrots, beets, and fennel. Whether it's through our packaging, portioned ingredients, or the recipes themselves, at Plated we're always trying to find ways to cut down waste. These dishes are a great example of that effort, as they use the entire core ingredient in an unexpected, delicious way. Try them at home and tell us what you think!
1. Carrot Top Pesto
1 bunch of carrots with leaves
1 cup arugula
1 lemon
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoon pine nuts
1/2 cup pecorino cheese
– Preheat oven to 425 F. Rinse all produce. Pick leaves from carrot tops and roughly chop, discarding stems. Halve carrots lengthwise. Halve lemon.
– On a baking sheet, toss carrots and garlic cloves with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer and roast until carrots are tender and garlic is golden, 10-12 minutes.
– In a blender combine roasted garlic, carrot leaves, arugula, pine nuts, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Pulse to blend. Continue to blend while slowly pouring in 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, add grated pecorino, and stir to combine. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
2. Shaved Fennel Salad with Fennel Frond Vinaigrette
1 bulb fennel with fronds
2 cups spring lettuces
1 grapefruit
1 small shallot
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
– Rinse all produce. Separate fennel bulb and fronds. Halve fennel bulb and cut out core. Slice as thinly as possible [or use a mandolin]. Finely chop fennel fronds. Peel shallot and mince. Cut top and bottom off grapefruit to create flat sides. Stand up on one flat side and carefully cut around to remove skin and pith, discarding. Over a medium bowl, slice between membranes to release segments. Allow flesh to fall into bowl along with any juice.
– In a large bowl [big enough for the salad] whisk together champagne vinegar, dijon mustard, honey, shallot, and fennel fronds. Season salt and black pepper as desired. Whisk quickly while slowly pouring in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
– Add lettuces, fennel bulb, and grapefruit to bowl with dressing. Toss to combine.
3. Roasted Beets with Sautéed Beet Greens
1 bunch red baby beets
1 bunch yellow baby beets
1 container greek yogurt
1 teaspoon sumac
1 lemon
¼ cup crumbled feta
– Preheat oven to 450 F. Rinse beets and beet greens. Trim leaves and discard stems. Peel beets and quarter.
– On a baking sheet, toss beets with sumac, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until tender, 15–20 minutes.
– While beets roast, in a small bowl, combine juice of .5 lemon, .75 of yogurt, and crumbled feta. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Set aside. Discard remaining yogurt.
– While the beets roast heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. When oil is shimmering add beet greens and season with .5 teaspoons salt and black pepper. Cook until wilted about 4–5 minutes.
– Serve roasted beets over a bed of sautéed greens with yogurt sauce on top.

he little cat we rescued and took to TAS and who nearly got returned to our alley 24 hours later got a new lease on life...the vet who was going to fix the cat said no way...give it a few more days as the cat didn't seem feral to him. Well, we hadn't heard anything more, so Steve called today for an update. Turns the cat is a she...she's calmed right down and is up for adoption, and she has a heart murmur....so glad they gave her another chance...so very happy for the little one. Just thought you'd like to know...
Hugs Nic
(Ed note: another little cat abandoned on the street, gets a new life thanks to the awesome citizenship of Nic Pulling and her partner Steve. Well done.)

During the medieval period, several empires and kingdoms such as Mughals, Vijayanagara, Nayak and Marathas came into existence.
Muslim Kingdom
Medieval period begins with the establishment of Muslim power. The forces of Delhi Sultanate defeated Kakatiya dynasty of Warangal in 1323 CE and Hoysalas in 1333 CE. By the early sixteenth century, the Bahmani empire was divided into five different kingdoms based in Berar, Ahmednagar, Bijapur, Bidar and Golconda. All together these sultanates were referred as Deccan Sultanates.
Vijayanagara Empire
Vijayanagara empire came into power in early 14th century CE, with the purpose of conquering Mughals. It lasted for three centuries and proved to be a big hindrance in expansion of Islamic powers. The empire reached its zenith of its prosperity and glory during regime of Tuluva King. One of the most renowned Telugu poet and ruler Krishnadevaraya was a great patron of art, dance, literature and music. Vijayanagara empire had well maintained trade relations with Portuguese. Other two outstanding figures who emerged during the reign were Harihara and Bukka. They played an important role in flourishing Hindu religion. The combine forces of Deccan sultanates led to downfall of Vijayanagara Kingdom in 1565.
Nayak Kingdom
Several territories of Vijayangara empire were run by administrative and military governors called Nayakas. After the failure of Vijayanagara empire, governors declared their independence and established their own kingdom. The most famous Nayakas included Nayak of Madurai, Keladi Nayakas, Tanjore Nayaks and Nayakas of Chitradurga. Several magnificent temples were built during Nayaks rule. The striking feature of holy shrines with large pillared halls and long gateway towers are marvelous. The Tanjavur Nayak continued to rule until 17th century and the dynasty was put to an end by Madurai rulers. At the same time, Marathas also grabbed an opportunity to establish their dynasty.
The Marathas came into power under the rule of Shivaji. After the death of Mughal ruler, Aurangzeb, Wodeyar kingdom of Mysore took over the control over major territories of south India. North and east part of Mysore was ruled by Asaf Jahis of Hyderabad. Large portion of Karnataka was controlled by Maratha rulers. By the close of medieval period, Marathas witnessed the arrival of Europeans - French and Britishers.

Heritage Foundation publishes article in support of repealing FATCA
by Patrick Tyrell, The Daily Signal
October 13, 2017
If you're an American living overseas, Uncle Sam is making life hard for you—and he's probably giving your bank a headache, too.
For one, the U.S. government often taxes the earnings you make outside the U.S., meaning you can be double-taxed—both by the U.S. and by your host country. But even if you don't owe U.S. taxes, reporting your foreign earnings to the IRS can be expensive and complicated.
In addition to that, if you live overseas, your bank is probably quite annoyed at you and has an incentive to stop doing business with you. Read more here.
Plaintiffs in FATCA Challenge Seek En Banc Rehearing
Plaintiffs in Crawford, et al. vs. US Department of Treasury, et al. have filed a filed a Petition for En Banc Rehearing in their fight against the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") and related provisions after the Sixth Circuit affirmed the lower district court's ruling that none of the plaintiffs had standing, i.e., sufficient harm to bring a challenge.
For a complete analysis of the reasoning behind the filing, please read the entire document here.
Memo detailing grounds for challenging 6th Circuit Court's Opinion
James Bopp, Jr. (lead lawyer for the Plaintiffs) and Richard E. Coleson have drafted a memo to analyze the 6th Circuit Court's decision could and to highlight where the 6th Circuit Court made mistakes in its decision.
Republicans Overseas vows to take FATCA battle 'to Supreme Court'
By: Helen Burggraf | 22 Aug 2017 | International Investment
'An anti-FATCA lobbying group led by key US Republican Party members has vowed to take its fight against the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act to the Supreme Court, in the wake of a US Court of Appeals decision, handed down on Saturday, that affirmed a lower district-court ruling dismissing a legal attempt to derail the legislation.
In a statement on its website, the Republican Overseas Action group said it intends to continue its campaign against the law, arguing that it is causing "real harm" to overseas Americans – contrary, they say, to what the court said in its ruling.
The Court of Appeals ruling found that the plaintiffs – who included Kentucky Republican senator Rand Paul, who has been campaigning against FATCA almost since it was signed into law in 2010 by President Obama – lacked the standing to sue, and that the harms they claimed to have suffered as a result of the law were not, in fact, directly caused by it.' ….
Read the rest of the full article here.
RO will appeal 6th Circuit Court opinion to the U.S. Supreme Court
The 6th Circuit Court handed down its ruling on August 19, 2017 and found that the Plaintiffs were not suffering any harm as a result of FATCA, and were in no threat of prosecution for not filing FBAR and FATCA forms, and therefore, had no standing to bring the lawsuit.
Republicans Overseas will appeal this decision to the US Supreme Court.
Read the ruling here.

James Bopp, Jr. responds to Rep. Meadows' request for 3 ways to reform FATCA
James Bopp, Jr., lead litigator for Republicans Overseas' repeal FATCA lawsuit, responded to Representative Mark Meadows' request for each of the witnesses at the Unintended Consequences of FATCA Hearing (held April 26, 2017) to provide three ways to reform the existing FATCA law.

The saying, "Something old, something new, Something borrowed, something blue, A silver sixpence in her shoe," dates back to the Victorian era. The "old" is supposed to represent the past, particularly the bond between the bride and her family. The "new" represents the couple getting married and their future together. "Something borrowed" is something that is taken from the families and meant to be returned. By borrowing something, the bride is continuing the link between herself and her family to maintain loyalty and future comfort.
