The first TV spot for Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead remake has arrived, and rather than get immediately in trouble with the FCC by trying to show the film's incredible gore, they've gone the other route and are showcasing audience reactions, which mostly consist of gasps, double takes and general looks of fear. I say "mostly" because the commercial ends with one nice old lady who sums up her thoughts on the "unimaginable" horror happening on-screen with a semi-emphatic "Oh gosh." It seems like she can imagine the horror pretty easily, Sam Raimi, and she's not that impressed. Honestly, the only way this lady cpuld be more awesome is if instead of a mild "Oh gosh" she exclaimed, "Wait, where the fuck is Bruce Campbell?"

Things are so incredibly busy here these days, and I'm working on lots of fun projects that I can't wait to tell you about. Some of those will be soon, but in the mean time here are a few peeks at my latest project. It's another quilt for Coats and Clark and it will be displayed in their booth at the Craft and Hobby Association Trade show in January. They asked me to design a quilt that coordinates with a crocheted afghan that they already had made, and they sent me swatches of the yarns used to make it.
The afghan is made out of hot pink, purple, olive green and tan yarns. It's always a fun challenge for me to work on a project like this because these are not necessarily my go to colors, so it pushes me out of my comfort zone when I'm designing.
I came up with a design that I think will enhance the afghan, and I'm using three prints from Amy Butler's new Alchemy line of organic fabric, Sketchbook in Cream, Imperial Paisley in Blue Sky, and Flora in Coral against a background of FreeSpirit Designer Solids in Lavender. These organic fabrics have such an amazing hand and are so incredibly soft, and I think the prints will really pop against the lavender fabric. This is unlike any quilt I've ever made before, so I'm really excited to put it together. My friend Jill Montgomery of Darling Jill Quilts will be quilting this one for me, using Coats cotton machine quilting thread. I hate that I keep giving Jill all of these projects with tight deadlines, but I'm so pleased with the work she's done so far. I'll be sure to share images of this one, along with the pattern for it, as soon as I can. Meanwhile, I have to get back to work!

When dealing with mold its best to let a trained certified expert that understands how to properly remove and remediate it. Ultimately the goal is to remove it not just cover it up. If mold is not properly removed it can contaminate other areas of your home or business and often lead to a much larger project as well cause serious health problems. Simply spraying a product or painting over it is not going to eliminate the problem.
Rock Emergency will work with you, the property owner, the insurance representative, and an environmental hygienist to formulate the most efficient and effective course of action following the guidelines of the IICRC S520. The highest level of care is required when handling a mold affected area, including containment of the area and protection all of people in it. Air samples are taken prior to the job and post job to ensure the structure is at an acceptable and safe level. We also clean all contents in the affected area. Rock Emergency will work to get the affected area back to a pre loss condition effectively and to your satisfaction.
**The State of New York has passed laws for licensing mold assessment and mold remediation services. These regulations are in place to protect the residents of the State of New York. The laws include specific requirements, preventing mold remediation companies from providing remediation proposals without an independent assessment report.
Offering world class service to our clients while exceeding expectations is at the core of everything we do. We apologize for not having the content you are looking for on this page, but assure you we are still working on perfecting it. In the meantime, remember that we'd love to hear from you, so please call us at 844-ROCK-911 to have your questions answered and concerns addressed.

The rate that undergraduates from poor families pay for student loans will double on July 1. U.S. senators have departed for a one-week break without an agreement on what do to about the automatic increase.
The interest rate for subsidized Stafford loans, available to undergraduates from low-income families, will increase to 6.8 percent from 3.4 percent. More than 7 million students borrow through that program.
With one group of senators pushing for a floating interest rate and another group seeking a one-year freeze, action was postponed until after the new rate takes effect.
Senate leaders have agreed to schedule a July 10 procedural vote on S. 1238, a bill that would keep current rates in place until 2014, said Rhode Island Democrat Jack Reed.
Questions to be resolved when senators return include:
— Should interest rates be frozen?
— Should interest rates be allowed to rise and fall by linking them to Treasury notes?
— If the rates are linked to Treasury notes, should there be a cap, or maximum rate that students can expect to pay?
— Should the interest rate be set exactly where the government breaks even, or should it be higher to bring in extra money for deficit reduction?
"The best option for students is extension of the 3.4 percent rate for one more year," Reed told reporters.
The Education Department can administratively handle a retroactive interest-rate adjustment, he said. That "can be accomplished fairly easily," so "we're in a position where we have a window," Reed said.
"There's no particular drop-dead date," he said.
Debt Loads
The share of 25-year-old Americans with student debt increased to 43 percent last year from 25 percent in 2003, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. During that nine-year period, the average education-loan balance of people in that age group increased 91 percent, to $20,326 from $10,649, according to the New York Fed.
In the aggregate, student-loan debt totals almost $1.2 trillion, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Economists warn that what is owed in student loans may rival home-mortgage indebtedness as a drag on U.S. growth.
"The difficulties borrowers face when trying to manage cash flow may have a broader impact on the economy and society," Rohit Chopra, the consumer bureau's student-loan ombudsman, told the Senate Banking Committee on June 25. "When young workers are putting large portions of their income toward student-loan-payment payments, they're less able to stash away cash for that first down payment."
Loan Types
The most popular government loan is the Stafford.
Subsidized Stafford loans are limited to students with lower incomes, and the interest rate is 3.4 percent, set by Congress. The government pays the interest during school. The interest rate will increase to 6.8 percent on new originations if Congress doesn't act by July 1.
Any undergraduate, regardless of income, can get an unsubsidized Stafford loan at a rate of 6.8 percent.
The federal loan limits for undergraduates are $5,500 the first year, $6,500 the second year and $7,500 in the last years. Graduate students no longer dependent on their parents also can take out Stafford loans.
Another type of direct federal loan, called PLUS, carries a rate of 7.9 percent for graduate students and parents of undergraduates.
On May 23, the Republican-run House passed legislation, H.R. 1911, that sought to tie student loan interest rates to the 10-year Treasury note plus 2.5 percent.
President Barack Obama has a different proposal, that would let the rate float with less fluctuation.

At Von Salmi & Associates, we are master homebuilders who have been constructing and renovating exceptional houses in Greater Boston and Metrowest for decades. Our substantial experience gives us the ability to visualize the big picture without missing any of the crucial details that make great houses work for you and last for years.
We know that building is a process. When followed correctly, successful outcomes occur. But when they aren't followed correctly, we're here to help. We're the area's leading construction forensics experts and often find ourselves working with the clients of other builders — after something has gone wrong.

And if legal action is necessary, we'll act as your expert witnesses — gathering factual evidence and testifying on your behalf.
Hoping to avoid problems in the first place? We will work with you from the beginning of your build or renovation project as your homeowner's representative, meeting with your contractor and sub-contractors to make sure that your desires are met, issues are addressed appropriately, and headaches are handled, so you won't have to worry, now or later.

Boston Globe Interviews Von Salmi
"Whodunit? Bullet fragments, bloodstains, and DNA samples are the clues for crime investigators. But for construction forensics specialists like Von Salmi, telltale signs can range from a bit of mold or a rotten baseboard, often symptomatic of a bigger issue."

SAP HANA XS Advanced, Creating a Simple OData Service
You will learn
Create a simple OData service connecting to your table and data.
Right mouse click on the
js/lib/xsodata folder and choose
Enter the name as
businessPartners.xsodata and click OK.
You want to define an OData service to expose the business partner table. This table is in defined in the
MD.hdbcds artifact.
The syntax of the XSODATA service is relatively easy for this use case. You need only define a namespace (your package path), the name of the HANA Table you will base the service from (
MD.BusinessPartner) and the name or alias of the OData entity (
BP). Therefore the content of the XSODATA file would be:
"MD.BusinessPartner" as "BP";
Save the file and build the Node.js module. Then run the
html5 module (defined as
web earlier). Once it opens a separate browser tab, change the URL path to
/xsodata/businessPartners.xsodata to test this new service. The resulting document describes the service entities. You have the one entity named
You can now adjust the URL slightly and add the
/$metadata parameter to the end of it.
For Example:
You can see the field descriptions for all the attributes of the OData service.
In order to view the data of the entity, you would append
BP to the end of the URL:
For Example:
You are now able to see the data from the
businessPartner table.
You can also experiment with standard OData URL parameters like $top, $skip, or $filter. These options are interpreted and handled by the OData service of the
XSEngine for you. You get complex service handling without any coding. For example the following URL would return only three business partner records and would skip the first five records. Such parameters are helpful when implementing server side scrolling, filtering, or sorting in table UI elements.

Lightspeed Venture Partners
Fund: Lightspeed Venture Partners
Posted by Bob Cell on 2007-10-09
Background: I worked with Peter Nieh of Lightspeed Venture Partners to create MyBuys from the assets of another portfolio company in a very productive and creative manner in 2006.
Deal structure: Peter and his partners were very receptive to the idea of creating a new company with a new capital structure that would be attractive to management. In order for the new capital structure to come together, Lightspeed recapitalized their previous investment entirely and invested in our new venture with a new mindset (a difficult thing for many VCs to do as they often get caught in the emotion of the old deal's issues), new preferences, and a belief in the new team.
Future round assistance: Peter was very supportive in preparing me for our B round funding process. He helped tailor the message of the investor presentation to be well tuned for the VC audiences. He also assisted with many introductions to other VCs as well as providing strong support when discussing our team and prospects.
Funding result: We were able to receive many term sheets that were all significantly above our last round post-money. Lightspeed invested in the B round requiring only one presentation to update the partners on our progress since the previous round (in addition to Peter's reporting on us behind the scenes) and Lightspeed has also reserved for future rounds.
Board Member: As a board member, Peter lets me operate the company - and I appreciate that. He cares about aligning goals, the market, and customer traction. He also cares about the quality and the recruitment of the management team and will actively engage in recruiting team members, if asked. If I were an investor, these would be the things that I would also care about also.
Other Lightspeed assistance:
I have received multiple sales leads (Jeremy Liew's internet background and connections have been very helpful), several high quality employee candidates, and participated in several Lightspeed events as part of their ability to proactively assist their portfolio companies.
Overall: Lightspeed is a very professional and smart group of partners and I would highly recommend them to other CEOs. Please feel free to contact me direclty at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.PRIVATE: Members Only

According to a recent article in AARP if a daily fitness walk could be put in a pill, it would be one of the most popular prescriptions in the world.
Walking has so many health benefits. Walking can reduce the risk of many diseases from heart attack and stroke to hip fracture and glaucoma. These may sound like claims on a bottle of snake oil, but they're backed by major research.
Walking with a treadmill desk is even more beneficial since individuals can walk all day while completing the talks they would normally undertake sitting at a desk.
Walking requires no prescription, the risk of side effects is very low, and the benefits are numerous:
Managing your weight. Combined with healthy eating, physical activity is key to any plan for long-lasting weight control. Keeping your weight within healthy limits can lower your risks of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis.
Controlling your blood pressure. Physical activity strengthens the heart so it can pump more blood with less effort and with less pressure on the arteries. Staying fit is just as effective as some medications in keeping down blood pressure levels.
Decreasing your risk of heart attack. Exercise such as brisk walking for three hours a week or just half an hour a day is associated with a 30% to 40% lower risk of heart disease in women. (Based on the 20-year Nurses' Health Study of 72,000 female nurses.)
Boosting "good" cholesterol, the level of high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Physical activity helps reduce low-density lipoproteins (LDL or "bad" cholesterol) in the blood, which can cause plaque buildup along the artery walls, a major cause of heart attacks.
Lowering your risk of stroke. Regular, moderate exercise equivalent to brisk walking for an hour a day, five days a week, can cut the risk of stroke in half, according to a Harvard study of more than 11,000 men.
Reducing your risk of breast cancer and type 2 diabetes. The Nurses' Health Study also links regular activity to risk reductions for both these diseases. In another study, people at high risk of diabetes cut their risk in half by combining consistent exercise like walking with lower fat intake and a 5% to 7% weight loss.
Avoiding your need for gallstone surgery. Regular walking or other physical activity lowers the risk of needing gallstone surgery by 20% to 31%, found a Harvard study of more than 60,000 women ages 40 to 65.
Protecting against hip fracture. Consistent activity diminishes the risk of hip fracture, concludes a study of more than 30,000 men and women ages 20 to 93.
The list goes on and on. Many other studies indicate a daily brisk walk also can help:
- Prevent depression, colon cancer, constipation, osteoporosis, and impotence
- Lengthen lifespan
- Lower stress levels
- Relieve arthritis and back pain
- Strengthen muscles, bones, and joints
- Improve sleep
- Elevate overall mood and sense of well-being.

I have a few suggestions for improvements. Have a look at the BB at www.aspireoneuser.com. It's also a phpBB. It has a few things I like very much: I stay logged in (in the FOG board the checkbox remember me doesn't seem to work.
And could you perhaps check if there are upload limits? Both Alain and me tried to upload a 8 or 9 Mb perkins manual. I broke it off after 10 minutes, not being sure if something was happening. If it's possible a gauge keeping track of the upload status (speed and Mb's to go) would help.

Mike Littwin's Weekly GOP Presidential Power Rankings, Southern style
Or, how Mitt Romney came to eat his grits.
While Mitt Romney practices his y'alls and jumpin' catfish and boiled peaches and banana pudding with vanilla wafers, he comes South for what he calls "an away game" — two Southern Tuesday races, in Alabama and Mississippi.
Surprisingly, according to some polls, Romney has an actual chance to pick off one or maybe both of these states. A Rasmussen poll out of Alabama has a virtual three-way tie with Newt at 30%, Rick Santorum at 29 and Romney with 28. And in Mississippi, Ras has Romney ahead with 35 percent and Newt tied with Santorum at 27.
This is Romney's best chance for the big upset because he still has the split-conservative vote working for him. If Newt doesn't win both states, he will probably (finally) drop out and leave Santorum to face Mitt one-on-one (plus Ron Paul). It could be fun to watch. I know I'll be at the tube Tuesday, with a plate full of biscuits and chocolate gravy – an Alabama specialty, I'm told. That's almost enough to make you want to visit for a spell. Almost.
Now to the big board (last week's rankings):
1. Mitt Romney. Has anyone ever been hit so hard after winning 6 of 10 Super Tuesday states? (1)
2. Rick Santorum. There is now a Rick Santorum song, "Game On." So, there's that. (2)
3. Newt Gingrich. Do tortoises ever really win races? (3)
4. Ron Paul. How's that caucus-delegate strategy thing working out? (4)
Bonus pick: Sarah Palin. Tells CNN she won't rule out a run in 2016 – which would mean, of course, that the Republican nominee would have to lose in 2012. A run in 2016, though, could mean a sequel for "Game Change." Julianne Moore, keep in touch.

"Very Knowledgeable, Understanding, and Patient"
" I am beyond pleased with my Sales experience at Shockley Honda with David Salvas and Dante Velasquez. David was very patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. He knew all the features being offered on the vehicle I was looking at and went out of his way to make sure that I knew everything my potential new vehicle could do for me. He never made me feel pressured to make a purchase and was supportive of my apprehension. Dante was patient and understanding and helped me look into multiple different options that would best fit my particular situation. I appreciate both of their hard work! Thank you!!! "

" David Salvas is a fantastic salesman! We love our civic! Everyone we encountered was very friendly..We did not feel pressured at all throughout the entire visit at Shockley..with our credit situation we did not expect to get in the car we purchased but David convinced us to try for the car we REALLY wanted and Shockley made it happen with the monthly payment we asked for! Definitely the best experience I have had with a dealership and salesman "
"I just don't go anywhere else... literally. No need too. "
" I love Shockley... I have now been a direct party to 4 vehicle purchases with this dealership over the last decade. I have never once been disappointed with the level of service or the vehicles themselves. Every single time, they impress me. Last week I decided I needed to get a small SUV and I needed just the right one. I was looking online and found the exact CRV I needed... certified preowned... low mileage, great color, perfect assets, safety features, KBB awards... it had it all even the leather seats. But I couldn't get to the dealership being a single mom and I didn't want to lose my vehicle by waiting two weeks. Turns out, that's no problem at Shockley. I applied to purchase it online, sent them my trade-in online, arranged EVERYTHING electronically and THAT DAY they brought my new CRV to my home after work... I signed the papers, handed off my trade-in and that's it! I was done! Only one thing to do - car inspection as I live in a different state LOL! For a single, working momma... this was an incredible value to me as a customer and I got a very, very fair trade in value to boot! I will recommend them forever, and frankly, I'm not that easily impressed. Thank you to Candice Speaks & Bill Collings for making it great! "
"No Pressure, the price is right"
" We bought new 2019 CRV. Justin made our process smoothly. Justin understood what I asked. People at Shiockley seemed friendly. One of them though we were lost. We just wanted to explore the whole place. I was told those people were calm and made no pressure. That was true. I usually got crabby at the dealership, this time I was calm all the way. I was surprised. "

" We haven't bought a new car in over a decade and we were thrilled with our experience! Mark was kind, patient and knowledgeable. He put us at ease and helped guide us through the choice of two vehicles. I work at the Chamber of Commerce and it was important to us that we buy a car from a Chamber member. That being said, we couldn't have been more thrilled with our experience and will be recommending Mark and this dealership to all of our friends! "
"Very supportive and understanding!"

Frank Taylor was very personable and supported us stress free with the finance and service coverage. Dante created us having a satisfying and agreeable contract. Darren did a thorough job of assisting us with reviewing the new computerized features before we left. This is our 3rd successful purchase at Shockley Honda! We will highly reccomend this dynamic team in the future! "

" Friendly staff, highly recommended "
" From the moment I purchased my car, to my scheduled maintenance these folks have been top-notch when it comes to customer service. Being in the customer service industry, myself, I know first hand how challenging customers can be... ****insert me**** Hear me out, folks. This was my first BRAND NEW vehicle. I arrived around 8/830p when they close at 9p/10p. I didn't get out of there until 1145p and it couldn't have been a smoother transaction. I didn't feel rushed, hurried or pressured from aannnyyy of the Sales or Finance team. They actually offered to stay and go over all its bells and whistles, I'm the one who had to call it a night; otherwise, I truly felt they would've stayed overnight just for me. I can't tell you how many follow-up calls I got within the first month of owning my new car. This place has knowledgeable employees who know thier stuff! Even when I (thought) I had an issue and called in giving a poor explanation of what I thought the problem was, it was solved...there was no "issue", it was user error Go buy your next Honda from these folks and ask for Justin. "
" Love love love "
"It was a pleasure to do business with Mark Lawson."
" First-rate Customer Service from Shockley Honda. Like all the best sales people Mark was a great listener and very knowledgeable about the Honda CRV I purchased. He was very professional, friendly and I got all the information I needed to make the decision. Frank Taylor took us through the financial process quickly and efficiently with the same friendly and personable approach. Altogether it was a satisfying experience for what is a substantial purchase purchase for most of us; I really felt that my business was valued. "
" I bought a new Honda Accord from Shockley. I mostly worked with Charlie who made the process easy. Financing was fast and I love my new car! "

" Mark lawson was amazing very knowledgeable. Great customer service. I was very happy to work with you and very happy with my 2020 honda accord "
" Great help with my Honda radio code "
" If you go there to buy car make sure you're buying it because the price is better than any other you can find around. The "Shockly experience" is nothing to be wild about, it's gone gone downhill since I bought my first Honda in 2012. In 2012 they said I'd get free oil changes for three years then they told me it's a total of eight, complete bait and switch. You used to get like time carwashes not anymore! Now I think they give you one free oil change and 100 free car washes. The car wash, what a joke! The last three times I've been to the dealership it was down "for maintenance", so this time I went inside and asked what gives. They told me they don't run the car wash when the temperature is below 40 but the car wash down the street at a line around the corner.... "
"Mark Lawson was wonderful to work with! I recently..."
" Mark Lawson was wonderful to work with! I recently purchased a 2016 Certified Pre Owned Honda Odyssey at Shockley Honda. Mark was very knowledgeable and great at answering all of my questions about the vehicle and the loan process. I highly recommend Mark Lawson and the team at Shockley Honda! "
"Got what I needed for my 2011 Element"
" I went to Shockley to sell my 2011 Honda Element EX. I met with Mark Lawson and he made the experience easy and worthwhile. I appreciated the attention to detail to ensure I got all I could probably get for my vehicle with no extra hassle. "
"Mark Lawson and Frank Taylor were terrific and truly..."
" Mark Lawson and Frank Taylor were terrific and truly helped us each step of the way in purchasing our new 2019 Accord Hybrid!! Mark made us feel very comfortable and welcomed; and Frank was very personable and thorough in explaining all the finance and service coverages as well as additional warranty coverage we got. We just got home and we're very, very pleased with the functionality and performance of our new Honda!! Thanks to you all.

" We were in need of a new car, so we called Shockey. After speaking with someone on the phone, we were referred to Mark. My wife initially looked at a Nissan online, but I wanted a Toyota. Mark found a great 15 Rav4 for us, and we couldn't be happier. Mark is a really nice guy, knowledgeable, and what he didn't know he found out for us. We would definitely go back, or refer someone to Mark for their auto needs. "
"Super Used Car Purchase "
" I bought a Certified Pre-Owned Honda CRV from Shockley for my daughter a couple days ago. It was a great experience. First of all, the car was in excellent shape. We first worked with Mark Lawson on the test drive and the initial information about the car. We'd had a detailed test drive session on a new CRV at another dealership a few days earlier, so we didn't need that level of detail from Mark, though he did provide additional information about the specific car we'd come to see at Shockley. We later worked with Nancy (whose name isn't in the list below) on the service contracts and the financing. She was extremely helpful in making the necessary decisions and recommended a way we could use this purchase to start establishing a credit rating for my daughter. "

| 7.9°C Belfast
Many people are unaware of the links between cancer and diet, body weight and physical activity, a charity said.
The World Cancer Research Fund said that many people do not know that there is a lot they can do to prevent cancer.
The charity said it is working to dispel the myth that all cancers are unavoidable.
A new WCRF poll, released to mark World Cancer Day, found that 49% of people do know know that diet can affect people's risk of getting cancer.
Two thirds of the 2,000 British adults polled did not know about the links between cancer and physical activity and 59% were unaware of the correlation between cancer and body weight.
And more than a third of people (34%) believe that the chances of getting cancer are mainly due to a family history of the disease even though only five to 10% of cancers are linked to inherited genes.
The charity is working alongside the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) to encourage people to take steps to reduce the risk of developing cancer, including:
:: Eating a healthy diet with lots of vegetables, fruit, pulses and whole grains
:: Maintaining a healthy weight with a BMI between 18.5 and 25.
:: Bring physically active for at least 30 minutes every day.
WCRF general manager Amanda McLean said: "On World Cancer Day 2014 it's very alarming to see that such a large number of people don't know that there's a lot they can do to significantly reduce their risk of getting cancer.
"We would like all sectors of society - including the government, manufacturers, retailers and charities - to work together to raise cancer prevention awareness.
"In the UK, about a third of the most common cancers could be prevented through being a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet and being regularly physically active. These results show that many people still seem to mistakenly accept their chances of getting cancer as a throw of the dice. But by making lifestyle changes today, we can help prevent cancer tomorrow."

Before You Get a Tattoo
You know that you want a tattoo, so what comes next? You have to know the laws in your area, make yourself aware of the health issues and concerns, and talk to your parents before moving forward. Tattoos are for life and longer, if you don't make an educated decision there will come a time when you regret what you did. Here, we put together essential information for the tattoo hungry teen.
Are your parents on board?
The most important thing teens need to consider before getting inked is how their parents feel about it. If your parents are not on board nothing else will matter. Ask your parents what they think and how they feel. If they object, listen carfeully and do as they wish. This is not a control issue, it is a waiting issue. You can always get a tattoo when you are older.
Are you legally old enough to be tattooed?
Many teens think that all they need is parental consent to get a tattoo but it is really more complicated than that. Convincing your parents is often only half the battle. If it is not legal to tattoo somebody your age where you live no amount of parental consent will get you your ink. Your parents can not consent away the law. If you are not at the right age, like it or not you will have to wait.
Do you know what you want?
OK, you can legally and parentally get a tattoo, the next step is finding something with meaning. Sure, the tattoo flash that you see on the walls at your local tattoo parlor may be cool but generic art won't be unique to you. Take a flash image that you like and modify it to speak to your personality. Choose a tattoo with meaning for you and you can't go wrong.
Do you know the risks?
There are risks associated with tattooing beyond the obvious short term pain. Unsanitary tattoo parlors do exists and they can be deadly. There are always risks of allergic reactions and disease transmission when you have a tattoo done. You can reduce the risk by knowing about health risks and what tattoo parlors should be doing to keep you safe before getting inked.
Have you found a good artist?
The difference between a nice tattoo and an amazing tattoo all comes down to the artist. A good artist can make your tattoo dreams a reality but a bad artist can turn your tattoo experience into a nightmare. Be picky, this tattoo will be with you for life and longer.
Are you ready to take care of the tattoo?
Tattoos require aftercare in order to avoid infection. Are you ready to look after your tattoo? Do you know what it means to care for a tattoo while it is healing? Everything you need to know about helping your new tattoo heal.

The Fayetteville Fire Department works on a 24/48 schedule which means a firefighter works a 24 hour shift and then is off 48 hours while the other shifts are working. This makes the firefighter work an average of 56 hours a week. Firefighters work 365 days a year, 24 hours a day to keep the City of Fayetteville safe. They do not get holidays off but are able to take vacation days throughout the year.
Below is a typical schedule showing the days each shift works

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Review
Here it is. My first official DIS review. As the new guy, I had to try to curb my obvious excitement and wide-eyed optimism in order to form an impartial opinion of what is, by all accounts, an amazing resort. Let me tell you, it was pretty much impossible.

I don't understand to mean of the sentence: "You get under the duvet before sleeping". What does "you get" mean?. "get" doesn't means "obtain"?
Hi miracle1! 'Get' can have many different meanings depending on the context. In this case it means 'put yourself', like in 'get in the car', 'get in the swimming pool' or 'get in bed'. When you see 'get' in a new context it's always good to use a dictionary or ask someone what it means. It's a very useful word! :) Best wishes, Joanna (LearnEnglish Teens team)

Two Rams Named All-Tournament at Swat Kick Classic
Swarthmore, Pa. – Two Farmingdale State
women's soccer players were named to the Swat Kick Classic
All-Tournament team after this weekend's season opening tournament
at Swarthmore College, including junior forward Kelly LaRose
(Mineola, N.Y. / Saint Mary's) and freshman defender Rebecca
Richman (West Islip, N.Y. / West Islip).
Swarthmore won the 13th annual Classic, after defeating Farmingdale State 5-0 on Saturday afternoon and then a 3-0 victory over Moravian (1-1) on Sunday. Stevens Institute of Technology (1-1) earned a 3-0 win over Farmingdale State (0-2) on Sunday after suffering a heart-breaking 2-1 double-overtime loss at the hands of Moravian Saturday night.
Swarthmore sophomore midfielder Sarah Reece (Manhattan Beach, Calif. / Mira Costa) controlled midfield play the entire weekend, assisting on three of the eight Garnet goals on the weekend, including Sunday's first goal scored by classmate Kelsey Cline (Stanwood, Wash. / Stanwood). Mills (San Diego, Calif. / The Bishop's School), a sophomore midfielder, came off the bench to score two goals to give Swarthmore the final advantage.
Stevens controlled the action in the Sunday's first match, out-shooting the Rams 28-3 on the way to the team's first victory of the season. Ducks senior midfielder Salme Cook (Fairfax, Va. / W.T. Woodson) scored her second goal of the weekend and added an assist to earn All-Tournament status.
In the first day, Swarthmore got a two goals apiece from Colombo
(Arcadia, Calif./ Arcadia), a sophomore forward and freshman
forward Song (San Francisco, Calif. / San Francisco Univ. HS) on
their way to the 5-0 win over Farmingdale State, the 13th
consecutive season opening win for the Garnets. Garnet defender
Laura Bolger (Centerport, N.Y. / Harborfields), also an
All-Tournament selection, added a goal and an assist while
Swarthmore goalkeepers Lauren Walker '09 (Fallston, Md. / The
Hotchkiss School [CT]) and Marie Mutryn '12 (Rexford, N.Y. /
Niskayuna) combined for the shutout.
Moravian freshman forward Arielle Caldas (Cherry Hill, N.J. / Cherry Hill West) broke a 1-1 tie in the 107th minute of the Saturday nightcap, finishing off a pass from All-Tournament forward Alessandra Valdetara (Butler, N.J. / Butler) to give the Greyhounds a season-opening victory over Stevens Institute of Technology.
Valdetara scored the opening goal of the muggy, and buggy, evening alongside Crum Creek, tip-toeing along the end line before finding a hole on the inside post at 19:10. The Ducks (1-0) tied the game early in the second half, when Cook hammered a ball off her laces into the upper left at 55:37.
Moravian senior goalkeeper Caitlin Corrigan (Perkasie, Pa. / Pennridge) kept Stevens at bay, posting 10 saves. Corrigan was selected All-Tournament for her efforts between the posts.

"I want the shirt that's just like that, only I want it to be a dress, with ruffles at the bottom."
"I want leggings like that, but I want the shoes on that other girl."
"I want those fairy wings for my dress-up, only I want them rainbow. And I want a rainbow wand to go with it."
Of course, I always tell her that we'll either make what she wants or we can save up for it or remember it the next time that she needs shoes, etc., but the other day when she showed me a girl on the cover of a magazine, wearing a jewel-encrusted crown, I thought, "Aha! We can make THAT right now!"
And so we did.
You will need:
- scrap typing paper
- large-format Strathmore watercolor paper. You really do need that big size, because it's long enough to fit all the way around the baby's head.
- cloth measuring tape
- pencil
- ruler
- scissors
- watercolor supplies
- white glue
- beads and shells and glitter
- clear packing tape
Cut out the crown front when you're finished--that's your template.
2. Measure around the baby's head--that number is also the length of the crown. It's just made of paper, so don't bother leaving room for growth. You can always make a new one in a few months!
3. Also laying the large-format watercolor paper landscape, measure out the length of the crown. Center the crown front template in the middle of the length, and trace it onto the watercolor paper.
Between the crown front and the ends of each side, draw the crown's band about two inches wide.
4. Cut out your crown.
5. Decorate the crown with watercolor paints, and then let dry.
6. Using ample white glue, glue on all the decorative components that your heart desires--beads, shells, glitter, macaroni, etc.
And when you're done...
