Cotec EPO™ Tarpaulin
We use Cotec EPO™ tarpaulin fabric for our Tarmac Duffels, Black Mamba duffle pack, and Diamond Activity Bags. EPO™ is a non-toxic, environmentally-friendly alternative to PVC coatings - which outperforms any other material in this category. We're confident in this claim, as we've tested our duffels extensively from both polar regions, to the Himalaya mountains, to the equator, and always back home to the 'Wet Coast' of British Columbia.
EPO™ can be recycled in-process, post industrial, or post consumer. Water and carbon dioxide are the primary by products of this fabric, therefore it can be incinerated cleanly. For decades, PVC has been the primary material used for fabrics in bags and luggage. Using EPO eliminates the detrimental effects this chemical has on the environment. No dioxins, heavy metals, chlorine, or phthalates are created during EPO™ production, and it meets current European regulations.

The Confidence of a Complete Smile
Tooth loss, though common, is both a cosmetic and functional issue, oftentimes causing embarrassment and discomfort. One or more missing teeth can easily be replaced with custom, cost-effective partial or complete dentures. These artificial tooth appliances provide an essential boost in facial appearance and smile aesthetics, while offering the necessary functional improvements for biting, chewing, and speaking. We design partial and complete dentures to meet the unique needs of each patient to ensure the most aesthetic appearance and most functionally beneficial fit. With a fully restored arch of teeth that looks natural and functions well, you can once again feel confident in the health and beauty of a complete, new smile!
Partial Dentures: Improving Comfort and Function
Patients missing one or more (but not all) of their teeth can receive partial dentures, which are customized to fill in the gaps created by lost teeth. This appliance is attached to remaining teeth by metal clasps and is tailored to fit snugly both on the gum line and around the existing teeth. This ensures that remaining teeth do not drift, causing aesthetic as well as occlusal issues. Partial dentures restore comfort and function for eating and speaking, and are less invasive and more cost-effective than other restorative options. We match partial dentures to the color of your gums and surrounding teeth for the most seamless appearance!
Benefits of Partial Dentures:
• Restores smile aesthetics
• Improves self-confidence
• Protects existing teeth from drifting
• Easily removable for cleaning
• Helps fill out the cheeks
Complete Dentures: Restoring Beauty and Confidence
Patients missing all of their teeth in one or both arches can benefit from complete dentures that restore entire sets of teeth. Personalized to the jaw bone structure of each patient, dentures provide functional improvements needed to eat and speak properly. In addition, we create dentures using only the highest quality materials that look and feel like natural teeth, filling out the cheeks and lips without appearing bulky. Along with careful customization of each denture, we always make any adjustments necessary to ensure the most comfortable and snug fit. While we are creating your final restoration, we provide temporaries, so you will not need to go another day without missing teeth!
Benefits of Complete Dentures:
• Improves biting and chewing ability
• Fills out cheeks and lips
• Clarity of speech and pronunciation
• Improves self-confidence
• Highly aesthetic smile

- Business Insider/Jessica Lin
A Japanese soft-serve and gelato maker known for using Hokkaido raw milk as its main ingredient has opened its second outlet in Singapore, with new non-ice offerings on the menu.
Naganuma Ice – the only Hokkaido company that's Hokkaido government-certified to use raw milk as an ingredient – unveiled its second outlet at Don Don Donki's newest and biggest Singapore branch at City Square Mall on Friday (Jan 11).
While the first store (which was opened in December at Carlton City Hotel) has no seating area, the new outlet is located within Don Don Donki's Japanese-themed food court so customers here can actually sit down and enjoy their desserts.
- Business Insider/Sean Lim
When we arrived at the store on Friday afternoon, the food court was packed and there were hardly any available seats. But that didn't stop the crowd from getting their icy treats.
The opening of a second store also marks the first time Naganuma Ice is introducing cream puffs on the Singapore menu.
- Business Insider/Jessica Lin
We tried the Hokkaido Milk Custard and the Aomori Apple – made from apples originating from a typhoon-hit area in Aomori, Japan. Instead of seeing the apples go to waste, Naganuma Ice engaged the apple farm's owners to create this limited-edition flavour.
- Business Insider/Jessica Lin
The fragrant "Shoe Puff" pastry was filled to the brim with sweet, flavourful custard that smelled like fresh apples. Definitely a hit with us.
- Business Insider/Jessica Lin
The gelato shop refreshes its flavours every two weeks, but the popularity of its anchor stars does not seem to be diminished.
When we were there, the Creme Brulee soft-serve was the obvious crowd favourite – we saw at least eight sold within a short period of time.
- Business Insider/Jessica Lin
The creamy custard base is topped off with a crispy layer of sweet goodness, sprinkled with sugar bits. We weren't big fans of the regular-tasting cone though.
- Business Insider/Sean Lim
The other soft-serve flavours include rich milk (which was sold out), chocolate, apple and matcha, which we tried.
It was rich and creamier than expected. Many well-known shops in Singapore serve icy, dark matcha soft-serve with little hint of cream or milk, but Naganuma's makes good use of the raw milk it is known for.
- Business Insider/Jessica Lin
And of course, the dessert shop also sells gelato in a dozen flavours. Some of the most unique ones include fresh milk, strawberry milk, azuki (red bean), melon, chai, double cheese and huscup yoghurt.
- Business Insider/Jessica Lin
While it might sound like marketing fluff, we were pleasantly surprised to find that Naganuma Ice did indeed stand out from many of its competitors – and it's probably because of the fresh Hokkaido raw milk used.
If you're a fan of Hokkaido milk, flavours such as fresh milk and double cheese were the best at bringing out the silky taste of milk.
But first, you'll have to battle the crowd at Don Don Donki.
- Business Insider/Jessica Lin
Good luck.

Blood is Blood
Our Mission: To encourage the FDA to seek and implement blood donation policies that are non discriminatory towards Gay & Bi-sexual men in an effort to save lives. How? Blood is Blood will hold monthly events to raise awareness & edcuate the community on Blood is Blood, We want to show the community that Gay & Bi-sexual men are very giving & More importantly to inform the community we are HUMAN and we should be treated equally when evaluating possible threats to the donor pool. Why? In October 2015 Jordan Moll Vigrass visited a blood donation center prepared to give blood. Jordan, who is openly gay and has been in a committed relationship for 4 years, was refused as a blood donor after disclosing his sexual orientation during the questionnaire screening process. Outraged by the federal policy and disappointed by being refused the gift of providing lifesaving blood donations, Jordan started Blood is Blood to advocate for change & to save lives
Started 2 petitions
Encourage the FDA to Review Blood Donation Policies that discriminate against Gay & Bi men.
The FDA's Current Guidance on Blood Donations for Gay and Bi-Sexual men is discriminatory and arbitrary leaving countless healthy donors unable to do so.It needs to be reviewed and updated to reflect current science and HIV testing capabilities to determine one individual donor's risk to the donor pool. And each unit of blood donated in the U.S. is routinely screened for various infectious disease pathogens, including five transfusion–transmitted viruses, using nine laboratory tests which makes the restrictions on donations by gay and bi men unnecessary and discriminatory. Jordan's Journey: Worthless is how I felt after I went to donate blood in October of 2015 shortly after I found out that I have Fatty Liver-Disease, a disease that often requires a liver transplant later in life. I wanted to pay it forward in case I would need a transplant and the accompanying blood transfusions, but I was turned away. At the time, I was unaware of the FDA's guidance that indefinitely deferred gay & bi-sexual men, or men who have sex with men (MSM) from donating blood. I felt as if I was a 2nd class citizen - as if my blood was not worth anything. Outraged by this policy, I began researching the issue and founded the "Blood is Blood" movement. On December 14th, 2015 I planned a community rally in Buffalo, N.Y. with Congressman Brian Higgins, to push for a change to the policy that is discriminatory towards gay & bi-sexual men - leaving countless healthy donors unable to do so. Shortly after the Community Rally, in January 2016, the FDA released an updated guidance on this policy, replacing the lifelong ban with a 12-month deferral period. The revised guidance removed the blanket discrimination and merely applied a bandage. The revised guidance is still discriminatory towards the gay & bi-sexual community and while a step in the right direction it was not enough. In June 2016, my heart (like many) was stricken by the hate and violence of the Pulse Nightclub shooting. I, like many, wanted to help my community and donate blood. People flooded blood banks all over the country to donate lifesaving blood to help those injured. While many gay & bi-sexual men were unaware of the FDA policy, they showed up to to donate and were turned away. At this point, I knew that something had to change. We cannot keep having this conversation after every mass shooting or disaster about how this policy leaves countless healthy donors unable to save lives. I had to act, so I contacted the American Red Cross in Buffalo, NY and organized the First Gay Alliance Blood drive that took place on July 27th, 2016 with the mission to raise awareness and spark conversation about this absurd policy. I encouraged men whom were prevented from donating (due to being gay or bi-sexual) to bring a friend to donated on their behalf, as this way lives can still be saved. I started this movement to save lives and affect change. That day was amazing as 53 donors came forth and helped save over 159 lives. I decided to make this an annual event and at the 2nd annual Gay Alliance Blood drive on July 26th, 2017, I vowed a year of celibacy so I could become a blood donor in 2018. Abstaining from sex for a year would be difficult, but I did so to spark a community conversation about the FDAs antiquated guidance.. Last month, my year of celibacy came to end and I proudly donated blood at the 3rd Annual Gay Alliance Blood Drive - a milestone for me, an accomplishment at least It felt like at the time, after all, I donated blood, right? It was not that simple; I soon realized that nothing had changed. I was still that gay man whose blood was not good enough unless I stopped living my life. My year abstaining from sex was very difficult. There was many nights I felt depressed and closed off from the world, afraid that I would put myself in a situation that would ruin my year celibacy. I cut off contact with men whom I had feelings for, essentially putting my life on hold. While I do not regret my year of celibacy, with the FDA's guidance that requires gay & bi-sexual men to abstain from sex for 12 months is detrimental to the mental health of the gay & bi-sexual community. In 2016, the FDA said they would continually review this policy, since then, nothing has changed. The policy should be based on one individual donor risks based on current science. The deferral period should be no longer than 30 days. Current testing technology enables an HIV infection to be detected in donated blood within several weeks of exposure. Even those subjected to the deferral period should be screened by their individual sexual history, not discriminated towards because they belong to one group. This is similar to the policy adopted in Italy in 2001 where donors are assessed individually with questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. Currently, The Williams Institute calculates that there could be at least an additional 600,000 MSM potential - saving over 1,800,000 lives annually if there was no 12 month deferral period. At the local Gay Alliance Blood Drives I have planned, there would have had an additional 134 donors, saving an estimated 402 lives! I encourage you to do your part by contacting local state and federal officials about this antiquated policy and learn more about "Blood is Blood" and our mission at http://bloodisblood.us
My Story - Blood is Blood On October 19th,2015 i went to my local american red cross to donate blood out of the kindness of my heart, and during the screening process i was asked since 1977 have i had sex with another man, I answered yes because i am an openly gay man engaged to be married in a relationship of 4 years. When the receptionist reviewed my answers she told me that i was indefinitely banned for donating blood because i had sex with another man.I never knew that his FDA Law existed until then and when i got home i did some more research,i do understand that in 1983 this law made sense, but it has since been scientifically proven that HIV(aids) is not only transmitted in msm sex and in fact transmitted through open cuts, sores, or breaks in the skin; through mucous membranes, such as those inside the anus or vagina; or through direct injection. and That Unprotected vaginal intercourse is the most common mode of HIV infection worldwide. and that heterosexual intercourse is the most common mode of HIV transmission in many resource-poor countries.. This has nothing to do with protecting the Blood Donations its at this point pure discrimination. The questionnaire they use need to be changed or totally get rid of this law. And in fact that same law states that heterosexuals with multiple partners are allowed to donate blood despite increased risk for transmitting HIV and hepatitis. I have started a group called Blood is Blood at http://fb.me/bloodisblood please follow us and support by signing this petition. and this is my speech from our Communty Rally in Downtown buffalo on Decemeber 14th, 2015 "When this law was first created in 1983 scientists thought that it was a "gay-related immune deficiency also know as GRID" and that it was only transmitted through gay sex. Later that year in January 1983, AIDS was reported among the female partners of males who had the disease proving it could be passed on via heterosexual sex. And in that same year "gay related immune deficiency" was renamed to "AIDS for acquired immune deficiency syndrome" because It was scientifically proven that it was not only a gay man's disease and in fact it could be transmitted through open cuts, sores, or breaks in the skin; through mucous membranes, such as those inside the anus or vagina; or through direct injection. On may 13th,2015 the FDA released a draft guidance a proposed amendment to this law to allow gay men to donate as long as they are Abstinence for at least 1 year. As much as I know this will leave countless healthy donors from donating I know it is a step in the right direction, a token of acceptance and moving forward. The FDA's is classifying all gay and bisexual men as a risk and it needs to be based on individual donors risk, the FDA cannot just throw a blanket over a group of people and say they are all risks. If they were able to do that what about Washington, DC where all residents of Washington DC are not deferred from donating blood simply because the prevalence rate of HIV in the district is considered a severe epidemic and is higher than the general population however all gay men are excluded from donating blood simply because HIV is more prevalent in the gay population than in the general population. not amending this law or instituting a deferral period for all msm is no less discriminatory than banning blood donations from individuals based simply on where they live. The Williams Institute and The American Red Cross - says that currently 9.2 million people donate blood annually, If we were to get rid of the ban completely an additional 4.2 million people will be eligible to donate blood and an estimated 1.36 million of them will donate blood annually saving over an estimated 4 million people. Instituting the 1 year deferral an additional 2.16 million people will be eligible to donate blood which 190,000 will most likely donate blood annually saving over 570,000 lives. The facts are facts Please support and follow Blood is Blood on our Facebook page at facebook.com/bloodisblood There are lives at risk here, Let's all stand together until something changes until lives are saved!"

Most companies that have undertaken a master data management initiative have found success, a new survey shows. But dig a little deeper and the picture gets murkier.
According to the survey, conducted by Baseline Consulting, two-thirds of organizations that have deployed MDM consider their efforts at least moderately successful, with 18% reporting "very successful" deployments. Just 1% said their MDM efforts ended in failure.
While MDM vendors will probably tell you that the high success rate is due to their superior technology, Baseline's Jill Dyche, who analyzed the survey results, has come to a different conclusion.
Most current MDM projects have focused on just "low-hanging fruit," Dyche said. They often tackle jobs like reconciling names and addresses, leaving the more challenging work -- sorting out product specifications and other data from numerous internal and external sources, for example -- for phase 2 and beyond.
Many companies also find success with first-time MDM projects because they work closely with MDM vendors and their consultant for the initial implementation, Dyche said. The vendors and consultants help MDM first-timers establish data governance processes and frameworks for the initial deployment, leaving the customer to apply them to future phases of the job on their own.
As the bulk of the work falls to the customers' internal resources, and as MDM projects expand to include multiple data domains and multiple source systems, "I think we'll see more drama with MDM in the next couple of years," Dyche said.
Data warehousing projects fueling MDM deployments
The survey -- which was made up of 208 respondents, more than half of which reported revenues in excess of $1 billion -- also highlighted the increasingly close relationship between MDM and data warehousing. For example, nearly half of respondents said they have at least one MDM project under way and one or more data warehouses deployed.
At most companies with both data warehousing and MDM deployments, the warehouse probably came first, Dyche said. But with data warehousing becoming a commodity, executives are increasingly demanding a better return on their investments.
To that end, after laying out millions of dollars for data warehousing, companies are realizing they need to improve the timeliness and accuracy of the data itself in order to make the most of it. That's where MDM comes in.
One Baseline client, for example, has spent more than $40 million building up its data warehousing capabilities, Dyche said, only to realize that an effective MDM was also needed.
"MDM is the insurance policy for the data warehouse," Dyche said. "The data that originates on that MDM hub -- once it hits the downstream data warehouse -- will render your analytics and reporting that much more accurate and reliable."
Benefits of MDM outweigh the costs
MDM itself is not cheap, however. Dyche estimates the average initial outlay for an MDM deployment at between $500,000 and $1 million. But the payback is often quick, she said, with some MDM projects that support data warehousing paying for themselves in as little as six weeks.
MDM can help multichannel retailers, for example, reconcile siloed customer data that can then be analyzed and reported against to identify cross-sell and up-sell opportunities. And companies that must follow federal and state regulations can improve their compliance rates and reduce costly fines via complementary MDM and data warehousing projects, Dyche said.

Ambassador Walter J Lindner's visit to the headquarters of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has stirred a controversy in India. Experts say the Hindu extremist group glorifies Adolf Hitler and his "cultural nationalism."
"Visit of Headquarters of RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) in Nagpur and long meeting with its Sarsanghchalak (chief) Dr Mohan Bhagwat. Founded 1925, it is world's largest voluntary organization – though not un-controversially perceived throughout its history..." Walter J. Lindner, Germany's ambassador to India, wrote on Twitter last week.
Little did Lindner know that his visit to one of India's most controversial Hindu extremist groups would trigger a huge backlash on social media, with liberal analysts, journalists and political commentators slamming his RSS outreach.
"The RSS has never made any secret of its love for Adolf Hitler. Both its first Sarsanghchalak [head], MS Golwalkar, and one of the organization's heroes, VD Savarkar, were admirers of Hitler, mainly for his 'cultural nationalism' and his persecution of the Jews," said Sidharth Bhatia, the Mumbai-based founding editor of The Wire news portal.
The RSS is a Hindu umbrella group which is the ideological inspiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rightwing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
RSS, which presents itself as a cultural organization, advocates a Hindu nationalistic agenda under the banner of "Hindutva" or "Hinduness."
Founded in 1925, the RSS today boasts 6 million active members. Most of the BJP's leaders, including Modi, have a long history as members of the volunteer movement.
"The RSS has never praised Hitler or Nazism… In fact, the RSS is the biggest pro-democracy force in the country," Arun Anand, the CEO of Indraprastha Vishwa Samvad Kendra, an RSS-affiliated media think tank based in New Delhi, told DW via email.

Online petition
Pieter Friedrich, a South Asian affairs analyst, has initiated an online petition demanding Lindner's resignation.
The petition alleges that Lindner's visit to the RSS headquarters "condones" the group's ideology, which is "inspired by fascist movements."
"His visit condones the RSS paramilitary as well as its ideological and institutional inspiration by European fascist movements like those of Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy," the petition read.
"Germany must in no way demonstrate any tolerance for fascism, especially for fascist movements like the RSS, which have a demonstrated record of admiring and seeking to model themselves after Nazi Germany and other affiliated fascist movements," it stated.
The petition sought an intervention from German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Heiko Maas in the matter.
"We, the undersigned, demand that Ambassador Walter Lindner resign or, failing that, be recalled. We demand immediate intervention by Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Heiko Maas to achieve this goal," it said.

Lindner's clarification
Defending his visit, Lindner said that as a German he was conscious of RSS's history during the 1930s-40s.
In an interview with The Hindu newspaper on Saturday, the ambassador said his visit to the RSS headquarters was part of his attempt to understand the "Indian mosaic."
He also said that he visited Nagpur city to review progress of a German-funded Metro project.
"I went to educate myself about the organization," said Lindner. "I had read very negative and very positive articles about it, everything from its social engagement to accusations of fascism, and I wanted to make my own impression. So I asked Mr. Bhagwat many questions," Lindner told the newspaper.

A 'wrong precedent'
Lindner's visit was considered unusual as very few foreign diplomats have engaged with the RSS in public.
"This visit sets a wrong precedent, especially because social intolerance is on the rise in India," Sanjay Srivastava, a sociologist at the Institute of Economic Growth in New Delhi, told DW.
Read more: Muslim man beaten to death over cows in India
But Anand, the CEO of an RSS-affiliated media think tank, says that "a number of ambassadors from various countries have met the RSS chief in the past."
"Last year, many diplomats attended a three-day talk given by the RSS Chief in New Delhi. The talk was followed by meeting between the RSS Chief and the diplomats," he pointed out.
"It [the visit] sends a chilling message to India's minorities. The global rise of neo-Nazism, especially its attempts to align with the RSS to promote violent supremacist goals, poses a dire threat to the peace and harmony of the whole world," Arvin Valmuci of the Organization for Minorities of India (OFMI) said in a press release.
But Lalit Mansingh, India's former foreign secretary, came out in Lindner's defense and said that a diplomat can reach out to "as many people" he wants.
"I think it is part of his (Lindner's) diplomatic duty to reach out to people. Are there any restrictions on meeting RSS officials? It's not a banned organization," Mansingh told DW.
"Indian diplomats can also meet with chiefs of any far-right political party in the West as long as there are no restrictions [on such meetings]," he added.
Germany is India's most important trading partner in the European Union and the two countries enjoy cordial diplomatic relations.

MCCRACKEN COUNTY, KY — The McCracken County school district has named an interim principal to replace previous interim Ginger Stewart, who stepped down from that role last week.
Assistant Principal Matthew Houser was named interim principal Wednesday afternoon in an announcement from McCracken County Schools.
Houser has been an assistant principal at the high school since it opened in 2013. He is in charge of house 3. In 2012, he was named principal of Lone Oak High School before the county's high schools combined. Before that, he was a teacher at Hendron-Lone Oak Elementary School from 2006 to 2011 and an assistant principal at Lone Oak High in 2011.
The need for an interim principal McCracken County High School arose when the school's principal, Michael Ceglinski, was suspended last month.
Ceglinski was charged with misconduct and failure to report abuse of a student. The misconduct charge was dropped on March 1, but the failure to report charge remains. Ceglinski has been on paid leave since Feb. 20. The investigation into Ceglinski is one of multiple investigations in which staff and one student from the high school were charged. For our previous coverage of those investigations, click here.
Stewart was serving as interim principal since Feb. 20, but last week she announced her decision to return to her job as the school system's director of district wide programs.
In a news release about Houser's appointment, McCracken County Schools interim superintendent Heath Cartwright says "I have the utmost confidence in Mr. Houser and his ability to bring a sense of healing to McCracken County High School. I know that he has great pride in MCHS and a true respect for the staff and students. He will do a great job of understanding and appreciating the roots that have grown since the inception of MCHS, and will do nothing but strengthen the growth of what is undoubtedly the best place for any high school staff or student to be." Cartwright
also sent out a letter to parents in the district.
Cartwright was named interim superintendent on Monday, after the McCracken County Board of Education accepted the resignation of Brian Harper last week.

Still not bringing my A-Game here. I blame it on the fact I am quite easily distracted by entertainment gossip. First Farrah, then Michael, now Billy Mays? June was a good month NOT to be a celeb. Anyway.
I recently joined a critique group; online of course because as we all know I'm a tad bit too lazy to actually drive somewhere. The critique group is awesome–got some really good feedback on my newest work in progress (on a related side note, I'm too terrified to send the finished one in for crit because I'M BACK TO HATING IT). I was startled, nay shocked, to learn that my BFF–the semicolon–is rarely invited to the party anymore. Apparently in the romance genre, the semicolon is frowned upon. I guess you can still use it in other genres, but in romance it is kind of like a faux pas.
I mourn this. I love the semicolon! Where are these bizarre punctuation rules coming from? I've read on other blogs that only "idiots" put two spaces after periods anymore because this is 2009 and we aren't using typewriters. One person even went as far as to say that editors won't accept your work if you use two spaces after the period. Seriously? I really hope that it just a nasty rumor with no truth to it. Because if not, that really sucks.
I really can't figure out what is wrong with the semicolon. But this apparently means I can bring an old friend, the em dash (–) back into play. In high school, my creative writing teach informed me that em dashes (–) were incorrect in writing and the mark of an incompetent, novice writer. HA, take that…lady's whose name I don't remember. Miss King? Wow, was high school that long ago that I don't even remember teachers names? Sad.
Has anyone else out there heard of this sudden avoidence to semicolon? Heaven help comma, because I would die if a limit was put on his use. A day without commas is like a day without sunshine.
On July 5th, I'm starting two online writing courses. One is on past life regression and using it to create cool characters. The other is on plotting. And, just to throw another wrench in the works, I'm applying to grad school. So, I'm taking the Miller Analogies Test this month too. Because, you know, I've really missed studying vocab and suffixes. In the end, studying for the MAT makes me realize just how much crap I've forgotten. It's terrible to get old.
I think once these classes start, I'm going to repost a three part blog "series" (I use that term loosely) I wrote when I went to a writers conference last year. It's more of a study about how inept I am at maneuvering said conference than anything else, but still reasonably entertaining. So, at least there's that to look forward to.

We're a hawk on the issues.
Watching the Duggars Teach Their 22-Year-Old Daughter to Kiss is the Most Cringe-Worthy Thing You Can't Unsee
On TLC's '19 Kids and Counting,' Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar taught their daughter and her teenage fiancée how to kiss and it was awkwardness at its finest.
The segment, which was recorded before the couple married in November, showed the couple teaching 22-year-old Jessa Duggar and her fiancée, 19-year-old Ben Seewald, how to kiss – since they apparently saved their first kiss for their wedding.
"Both of you'll like the physical relationship but (for) the guy (it) will be kind of like the main focus," Jim Bob explained to his daughter and her fiancée. "But for a woman, communicating is the most important thing, and so taking time each day to communicate – that will mean the world to her."
The young couple agrees, though Seewald admits he sometimes gives Jessa the "silent treatment."
"We like to talk, but it's more than just talking," Seewald said. "You can be talking, but you've also got to communicate."
Wise beyond his years, that one.
Seewald explained why they are saving their first kiss for their wedding, saying, "We think that it could lead to some stuff that we're really trying to avoid before our wedding, and so we just think it's wise for us to hold off."
Then Jim Bob and Michelle stood up to show the younger couple how to kiss.
"Let me show y'all the best way to kiss here," Jim Bob said. "If you kiss straight-on, your noses hit together – see? So you have to turn – she turns one way, I turn the other."
Jessa and Seewald giggle. Did we mention they're 22 and 19?
"Decide ahead of time – you're going to go that way, that was he'll go his way, whichever way so you don't get confused," Michelle says.
Watch the segment for yourself.

Top 5 Things To Do On Gardening Go away
Travel has certainly turn into an enormous part of life for scattered households and with vastly increased national and international mobility we're spread in all places. That is extraordinarily helpful! Whereas I don't travel very often, I journey typically sufficient for it to be a headache for me to plan all of it out. Thank you! Be looking forward to our High Ten Checklist from Virtuoso Travel Week. In the meantime, I wanted to move along a easy tip I realized from our rep from the Four Seasons Whistler. Water temperatures start to develop into a factor for a lot of places because of nights which are getting cooler with the method of winter. Swimming is often comfy within the mornings and somewhat more snug within the afternoon.
One among my neighbours has this phobia. I've observed it seems to be getting worse She has to actually nerve herself even to drive down to the village, simply a few minutes away. It really spoils her life, and that of her husband too. Presently they are in Hawaii for their trip, however she was a basket case earlier than they left! It is just the travelling that makes her so terribly anxious. She was in a automobile accident once. Very fascinating Hub.
For dessert (as a result of there is at all times dessert), there seem to be more Turkish delight and baklava retailers than people on this city of 14.5 million. And waffles; tons of of waffle outlets luring you in with their sweet scent. You'll want to enjoy these candy treats with freshly-brewed, thick Turkish coffee, after all.
Open up the previous water closet and we have replaced the throne with one thing way more critical to glamour camping… an air conditioner. This transportable rolling unit simply matches and makes for great sleeping. Nice lens, one other one I would add to the checklist (that I went away with) is Went away for 10 weeks and had a great time! The price of electrical energy can also vary tremendously in several areas of the country, making a difference of tons of of dollars a 12 months in living costs.
Sometimes it is good to visit your family members! You may discover small, however important travel alternatives along with it. If someone has been inviting you for a very long time, give in to the invitation. Apart from spending time with your family and kinfolk, you'll be able to look for getaways around the city. Well, our final busy weekend of the season is over. Positive, there will likely be a couple of individuals around the park for the subsequent couple of weekends, however we won't be sold out once more this yr like we were final weekend!

Although not a new phenomenon, recent media discussions about lists of "banned" food ingredients at various retail food stores have created new buzz around the issue. But, are these lists based on scientific evidence, and could they actually lead consumers to make less healthful choices than they would have made otherwise?
An apparent trend has sparked in recent years whereby some retail food chains have issued lists of ingredients that are banned from products on their shelves. These ingredients – such as artificial colors, low-calorie sweeteners, artificial flavors, and preservatives – have often been associated with "processed" foods, which are often cited for public health problems in the U.S. But such broad-sweeping lists overlook the important roles of food ingredients for maintaining food safety, quality, and functionality, and do not address unintended consequences and what we know about consumer behavior.
While scientific evidence supports the safety of approved food ingredients used in foods and beverages found in retail stores today, some chains have made a decision to ban these ingredients, citing a variety of reasons, including meeting consumer demand and because the ingredients do not align with their "philosophy." While perhaps well-intentioned at its core, this approach removes choice, and in some cases what remains are higher-priced alternatives or products that have a shorter shelf-life than the banned products and may contain other ingredients that have not been on the market as long or researched as thoroughly as their banned counterparts.
The mere fact that a food ingredient is man-made or "artificial" does not inherently make it bad or unsafe. In fact, many man-made food ingredients have the same properties as naturally occurring ingredients, and they are not under nearly the same level of scrutiny. In addition, many artificial ingredients, such as low-calorie sweeteners and artificial flavors and colors, have been researched and tested to a far greater extent than "natural" ingredients and, as a result, have a strong safety record, as well as a long history of safe use in foods and beverages.
While man-made ingredients have been used to improve the taste, quality, appearance, and texture of our foods, they have also played an important role in improving the nutritional profiles (e.g. reducing the calorie, carbohydrate, sugar, and fat content), as well as the safety of many foods (e.g. using approved preservatives to delay food spoilage, which can cause foodborne illness). For example, foods that do not use preservatives typically will not stay fresh as long as those that do use these ingredients. Should people consume foods after they have begun to spoil, they could be exposing themselves to foodborne illness.
Terms of "Confusement"
Blogs and social media have been abuzz about avoiding products with ingredients produced through biotechnology, also referred to as "GMOs." These lists often include approved, safe food ingredients and additives that are not in fact produced with biotechnology, but may be man-made or "artificial." These terms should not be used interchangeably, as they are different and use entirely different production methods (see the Food Insight article in this issue on consuming nutritious foods irrespective of processing for more information). Despite that fact, both approved artificial ingredients and additives, and approved foods produced through biotechnology, are safe, approved foods and ingredients. For more on which foods/ingredients are produced through biotechnology or contain ingredients produced with biotechnology, visit the IFIC Foundation's "Food Biotechnology: A Communicator's Guide to Improving Understanding."
While the reason cited by some retail food chains for banning certain ingredients is to protect public health, there is no evidence that doing so will lead consumers to make more healthful choices. In fact, the 2011 IFIC Foundation Food & Health Survey found that nearly two-thirds of consumers (63%) prefer to be told what to eat, rather than what not to eat.
While high-fructose corn syrup may be banned from a store's products, sugar, which is nutritionally and calorically identical, generally is not. How does this help improve consumers' health? The message sent to consumers here is one of confusion. A message about practicing moderation and focusing on calories from all sources would be less confusing and more practical.
Moreover, common ingredients on stores' "banned" lists often also include low-calorie sweeteners, which have been scientifically shown to help with weight loss or weight management when substituted for caloric sweeteners. In addition, it is also important to consider the potential unintended consequences of ingredient bans. For example if ingredients that improve the flavor of foods intended for weight loss (such as low-fat and low-calorie products) are banned, people may be less likely to eat these foods, as the most important factor consumers consider when they purchase and consume foods and beverages is taste (IFIC Foundation, 2013). Avoiding low-calorie foods that can aid in weight loss is exactly what the list creators should not want as consumers continue to struggle with weight gain and weight-related chronic health issues.
Attempting to eliminate supposed causes of obesity with lists of banned ingredients is not only lacking scientific evidence, but it is a losing battle, as anything with calories can lead to weight gain if consumed in excess of calories burned, and there is no one food or ingredient responsible for obesity or other public health problems in the U.S. And, in fact, food ingredients have helped to improve the safety and healthfulness of our food. Current FDA-approved food ingredients and additives have undergone extensive research and testing before being permitted to be used in foods and beverages, and have been found to be safe for the intended amounts and uses in foods and beverages. Ultimately, consumer safety and healthfulness should be the number one priority, and safe, approved ingredients can play a role in a balanced lifestyle that includes a healthful diet and regular physical activity.
While a desire to emulate consumer values and meet consumer demands is admirable, what will be more helpful to consumers is to inform them about eating a healthful and balanced diet that includes all of the choices that regulators, scientific experts, and health professional associations alike have deemed safe (taking health conditions and related special dietary requirements of the individual into account), and let them make their own choices.

It is said that outdoor signs are the calling cards for any business. This is what you say and approximate about your company. What signages are actually? Signage is the design using logo, mark and symbol to convey a message to some definite groups or people. This is specially being use for marketing purpose. It also means signs communally or being well-thought-out as a group.
Let me clear the view why outdoor signs are necessary. It is totally dissimilar from labeling which is supposed to carries information of an exact product or service. This is supposed to display for wayfinding information in places like inside and outside buildings and streets to give people mark. There is different form of signs based on place, location and intention. Billboards, murals, street signs, banners, lawn signs, street name signs, and sandwich board all kinds of signage.
Well, the main purpose of signs is to link, to carry information designed to assist the receiver. It is being doing with decision-making which is provided by the information provided or the one who want it.
On the other hand, advertising signage is also designed to convince receivers about the qualities of a specified product, brand or service.

– by Michelle Yeong
The start of 2015 seemed like a gloomy time for local music, with live venues such as Ya-Yas, The Bakery and Deville's Pad closing down. However, like a classic horror movie, we all know it's not over until the masked murderer is stabbed, and shot at a couple of times.
Just last week a new local venue, Jack Rabbit Slim's, launched into the scene, increasing my confidence towards the future of live music venues. And only in it's second week there was a stellar lineup including Hey Geronimo, Braves & King's Justice.
Just as local indie kings King's Justice kicked into their set, two strange men (not sure if they were friends with the band) started pulling people onto the dancefloor. As strange as these men were, their intentions were good, as they wanted everyone dancing to the catchy-as-hell indie-pop tunes. Though, encouragement wasn't necessary, because a few seconds into the quartet's first song already had me bopping and in no time knee bending. What I liked about their set was the residual feel-good vibes experienced after each song; similar to the feeling you get when you take a look at your bank balance after you've just been paid. Tracks like "It's You" and "Full Steam Ahead" demonstrated the bands ability to write clever addictive songs and their sneaky cover of The Cure's "Close To Me" left a lasting impression.
Braves stole the stage shortly after and captivated the crowd with their brand of surfy heartbreak-pop. After attending a few Braves shows myself, I've noticed that they always involve a fun, upbeat affair that makes you feel better about spending ten dollars on an alcoholic beverage. The four-piece have become somewhat of a household name across the indie community and it's easy to see why. Braves have somehow created their own genre in between classic 60s pop songs and fast-paced garage tunes, watching their set was enjoyable and they've convinced me that the beach is a scary place. Towards the end of their set the local legends confidently performed their two new tracks "Dropout" and "Get It Right" which added a cool 90's skate vibe to their repertoire of lo-fi tracks and gave us a taste of what's to come from their new EP.
At this point, the crowd was buzzing with excitement, not just from gaining a high pinball score or eating the delicious fries, but also from experiencing some of the best music in Perth. This set the scene perfectly for Brisbane indie-pop outfit Hey Geronimo. As the band picked up their instruments, all eyes were on bassist Bill Bingley's shirt, which had a nice collection of Ryan Gosling's face on it. Girls were certainly swooning. The sunny Brissy quartet provided the crowd with catchy tunes that encouraged sing-alongs and fist pumping. This was especially the case when the band performed classic bangers "Carbon Affair" and "Lazer Gun Show."
Each song had it's own distinct cheerful melody blended with surf-heavy guitar riffs, making you feel as though you were at a beach party in Kokomo. And it seems writing relatable lyrics for Hey Geronimo comes pretty easy – "I Got No Money" and "Why Don't We Do Something" speak for themselves. During their set, at least fifty percent of my Coke & Malibu spilled to the ground as I tried to move around in time with the music and with everyone else. Even though I was sad to see my drink go, nevertheless, I wasn't mad about it – the music was just too optimistic for that. The set finished up nicely with a funky cover of Talking Head's "Burning Down The House" and the crowd was left with all round good vibes.
Hey Geronimo have defied the indie-pop genre and are currently working on a full length album set to be released later this year.
Jack Rabbit Slim now open for business.

With 10 minutes to go and the scores tied, the ball gets passed in midfield. The team's passing play has been brilliant all night and has found a number of holes in the opposition's defense.
Again the ball gets played up the wing, the fourth official indicates 2 minutes of stoppage time, the crowd is rising to their feet, sensing that the time has come. A pint-point cross into the box finds the striker. His hips move left, but the shot goes right – Score! They win with a stoppage time strike!
In two paragraphs this is what 20 of South Africa's soccer enthusiasts endured the month of February. It was the month of the first ever EA Sports FIFA SA Premier League on Xbox Live.
Live provided the perfect platform for the players to get together and play, what can only be described as the greatest FIFA game ever, if not the greatest soccer game. Making use of the game's in-built league creator, managers could select their respective teams and challenge the other teams for their respective matches.
Liverpool, managed by league organiser, Johann 'Dareno' Gerber, took an early lead to the season. However, this was short-lived as Brett's aka 'PW7H3ad' Bayern Munich gained momentum.
Bayern rushed to nine straight victories with little effort. After about 14 days of fierce competition and with Liverpool still unbeaten after 6 games, it was time for the showdown.
In a fiercely contested battle, Bayern walked off proud winners – 1-0. However, Bayern's season came agonizing close to having the perfect season, only losing a single match and drawing three. Congratulations to those teams causing the upset.
The last week of the tournament had the front runners in trouble. Milni, manager of Barcelona, launched a major title challenge. Beating Liverpool and Lyon, but suffering the dreaded disconnect. This meant that the team could only finish 2nd and after some serious battles managed to finish tied for 2nd with Liverpool and Lyon 4th.
Milni showing good sportsmanship decided that he would settle for 3rd, stating "If Liverpool's game with Manchester United happened, they should've won and Liverpool would've had a clear second.â€
So the battle for the championship came to an end, but with new friendships made and some exciting gameplay. Look out for season two, commencing April 1, 2008. Entries for the second season are open and some managers will surely be looking to avenge previous results. Congratulations to all managers committing to the league and to EA Sports for sponsoring such an awesome event.

What are Kidney Packs Useful for?
- Cystitis
- Kidney stones
- Adrenal glands
How do Ginger Kidney Packs Work?
- Ginger kidney packs assist kidney and adrenal function by strongly increasing blood circulation and movement of body fluids and getting rid of stagnation in these areas.
- The strong continuous heat from the ginger and hot water penetrates deep into the body by dilating blood vessels to move stagnant fluid, helping to break up accumulated mucous, fatty and mineral deposits. Ginger also penetrates easily into the body.
When Shouldn't you use a Ginger Kidney Pack?
- Babies or very old people
- Pregnancy
- Appendicitis
- Pneumonia
- High fever
- If the bowels aren't moving at least once a day, in which case you should look at natural techniques such as psyllium husk (making sure you have good hydration in place first) and enemas to get them moving.
How do I Make a Ginger Kidney Pack?
- Finely chop in a blender or grate about 4-5 ozs of fresh root ginger (or a good tbsp. of ginger powder)
- Place the grated / chopped up ginger into an old white cotton sock tied at the top (no die on it). If you don't have one you can just sieve the ginger off at the end or use a nut mylk bag.
- Put the ginger (still in the sock / nut mylk bag) into a pan with 1 litre of clean water. Bring it almost to the boil but don't allow it to reach boiling point as this will decrease the properties of the ginger. Then turn it down to a simmer for 15 minutes on the lowest heat.
- Drain the hot ginger liquid into a pan and soak some castor oil packing cloth in the water.
- Apply it as hot as you can bear to the kidney area without burning yourself.
- Wrap yourself in a folded towel and pin it round you to keep the kidney pack in place and maintain its heat.
- Refresh the pack in the hot ginger water approx. every 5 minutes until the flesh slows a lasting deep red colour (usually takes 20-30 minutes).
- Use freshly prepared ginger water each time you do a kidney pack.
How Often Should I Use A Ginger Kidney Pack?
- The simple answer is, whenever you feel like! Any time the body or mind is under stress, or you have a kidney related issue such as cystitis or kidney stones, ginger packs can be very helpful, as long as the bowels are working well.
- If you want a bit more of a structure, you could use it 3-5 times a week for a month or you could do a course for a week every day.

Extended trips
In general, the daily bag limits set by Commission rule for saltwater fishing are for a calendar day (24-hour period from midnight to midnight). These limits are also possession limits. Therefore, it is illegal to possess more than one day's bag limit "while in, on or above the waters of the State or on any dock, pier, bridge, beach or other fishing site adjacent to such waters" with regard to most species.
Once you have caught and possess the bag limit for a species, you may not harvest any more of that species until the next 24-hour period. Thus it is illegal to take the catch to shore and then return to the sea to harvest another daily bag limit during the same calendar day.
There is an exception that allows individuals to possess double the daily bag limit certain fish only when fishing from a headboat or charter boat on a trip that spans more than 24 hours and:
- The vessel has a sleeping berth for each passenger aboard the vessel;
- Each passenger possesses a receipt issued on behalf of the vessel that verifies the length of the trip.
Species included in this exception include:
- snapper (gray, red, Atlantic vermilion, cubera)
- red grouper
- hogfish
- black sea bass
- red porgy
- amberjack (greater, lesser, banded rudderfish

Front Suspension
Richard | Apr 07, 2019 | Comments 3
Chris Vick sent us some more photos of his Spoiler II restoration. These close up photos of the front suspension on Chris' Cyclone demonstrate his dedication to detail. Chris wants to point out that all of these natural metal suspension parts are bare metal and not painted, they are all natural finish just like the factory!
Remember when doing a restoration to do your own homework regarding how YOUR car should be done. Depending on the year, month or even day your car was built or the factory it was built in and other variables the correct restoration of your car may not be the same as photos you see on the internet or in books. More than once, in my searches for correct restoration details, I have come across conflicting photos of what were all reported to be a correct restoration. Just because you see it on this site or any other do not assume what you see is correct or correct for your car. If in doubt contact a reputable concours judge with specific expertise in the car you are restoring. Even then, you may find differing opinions from different judges. As an example, the Ford Talladega has two different correct valve covers depending on the date it was built!
Filed Under: Featured • Mercury Spoiler • Mercury Spoiler II • Restoration
About the Author: Some of my first and strongest memories from my childhood relate to cars. I still remember when things happened based on what car I was driving at the time. I grew up and lived in Iowa for nearly 40 years before moving to Southern California and now live in Tennessee. I was a Corvette fanatic for years but then re-discovered vintage American Muscle. My wife, Katrina, and I decided we wanted to focus on unique and rare muscle cars. After a lot of research we fell in love with the Ford Blue Oval Aero Cars. These were only built in 1969 and and aerodynamics became an important part of winning races. The only purpose of these limited production cars was to win NASCAR races using the Boss 429 and 427 power plants complimented with a special, wind cheating, aerodynamic body. The Ford Talladega and Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II are terrific and historic cars. This site is devoted to these car and their owners past and present. We provide an Online Registry for recording the long term history and ownership of every remaining Talladega, Spoiler and Spoiler II.
