56. I have really been trying to make sure I keep my hands busy, even when just watching TV. I find that it helps me to feel productive and feel like I'm accomplishing things. To that end, I've been crocheting on my granny squares and have made great strides! Here's some pictures of my squares.
I'll be putting a border on the blanket, too, so that will add some size to it. I thank God every day that my grandmother gave me the blessing of learning to crochet all those years ago.
57. My poodles just bring me so much joy! They were both groomed not too long ago and doesn't Cookie look just too cute?
58. I've been teaching Mitzi how to do tricks. She can sit, give me "5", shake hands, and do her "pretties". This is when she sits up and moves her paws up and down. She gladly does this for her treats. I was able to get a picture of her doing her pretties. It's a little shaky, but so cute, I had to share this picture of my little blessing.

Love your little note! You just never know and it's always better to be clear about these things :)ReplyDelete
I think linking to other blogs is good because then they link to you, and your web rankings increase! :)ReplyDelete
Hi Disney! You're awesome! I love this post and your heart to help others!ReplyDelete
Cute blog and I think Disney is the coolest name ever!ReplyDelete
I totally agree with you that "craft bloggers are like a virtual family". There is something about creating together and sharing the same passion that brings us together.
Also, the article you read about "linking to other blogs takes traffic from your own" is definitely a fallacy. That's all I do on Ucreate!
Wow! Thank you so much for featuring my project! You're so great!ReplyDelete
This is a great idea and I will be keeping track of your blog to see the other tutes you feature. I am adicted to looking at sewing and craft tutorials online. I am working on writing up a few of my own. I haven't yet figured out how to put things on the side bar. But I know I will soon just haven't had the time to look into it yet.ReplyDelete
What a brilliant addition...you can either show your strength by pushing people down or by pulling them up. I am a firm believer that by helping others you not only show your strength, you show who you are. Well done. (And honestly, who isn't helped by a ruffle! :)ReplyDelete
You are so sweet! I agree, I feel like I have bloggy friends and family out there. And I love it!!ReplyDelete

i would love to be featured!! I havbe a post on making a childs apron & I am getting ready todo one for making a dress w/a onesie!!ReplyDelete
I love your blog and I think that it's so amazing that you are willing to get a little more traffic into a blog that doesnt get very much. I just started my blog, and hardly anyone goes. You're blog is so amazing and I felt so great when you commented on my post on Wardrobe Refashion,so thank you. I really appreciate any comment and any traffic. As for your note, I totally agree!ReplyDelete
You are so sweet for thinking of others.
I'm so glad you feel this way! I will be linking your flutter cape from my How-To Gal's Handmade Christmas Gift Guide- Nieces and Nephew edition.ReplyDelete

I love this idea, one of my fav things to do is to find new blogsReplyDelete
I just love all that you do on your blog...so I am passing on an award...you can check it out at mamathompson.blogspot.com! Thanks for sharing all your talent!ReplyDelete
I love your blog!! Your jewelry is so awesome and the clothing you make for your daughter is so beautiful and unique. I hope that I can be so creative with my daughter's clothing as she gets older. Thanks for sharing all your creativity!ReplyDelete
Thanks for being willing to share the traffic love. You're awesome and your blog is awesome!ReplyDelete
This is such a great idea! I just thought I would tell you that linking is always a really great idea! You can only loose traffic when people click on the link and then never come back to explore more of your own site. The Cure: Just make sure that your link opens up into a new window! (I noticed none of yours do...) There is an html code you can add, but this comment box wont let me add it to be able to show you. I'm sure you can google it to figure it out, or you could email me and I could send you an example if you are interested! good luck!ReplyDelete

The easiest way to learn playing pop music on the piano.
Katy Perry keeps amazing her audience with catchy songs coming out year after another!
"Dark Horse" is no exception. This song incorporates trap music elements, features a verse by Juicy J and of course Katy's specialty – catchy hooks. That's not all, it's very easy to learn, especially with the letter notes we've prepared for you.
The notes show you the melody of the song and to learn it even more easily, we have our own set of stickers that you can print out. They are to the right of this tutorial. They will help you find the right keys faster and basically speed up your learning process.
Tutorial for beginner keyboard and piano players.
Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" is one of her most popular songs, but also one of the easiest. You shouldn't have any problems even if you are a beginner. All you have to do is just follow the notes and play the corresponding keys on your piano or keyboard.
What we cannot include in the letter notes is the rhythm of the song but no need to panic. We provide a video for each lesson so you can see how to perform the song and brush up on the rhythm.
Start the video and play the right notes on your instrument once the noteblocks hit the virtual keyboard. What's good about this technique is that you can slow down the video anytime you want and practice the song at your own pace. Then of course, go back to the original tempo and try to nail "Dark Horse' in one go. Repeat over and over again to become more consistent.

Farewell to my old place.
6 comments:
These last few posts are so interesting with the photos of spaces being taken apart and put back together. Moving a household is lots of work, but also a chance to reinvent oneself a bit, I think. Good luck with it!ReplyDelete
Jouw thuis voor nog enkele dagen zag er altijd heel gezellig uit. Ja. Afscheid nemen...ReplyDelete
Gelukkig vergezellen jouw theeboxvrienden, nachtvrienden,... ook mee. Nooit schrik hebben om de dingen niet te vinden in je nieuwe thuis.
Veel verhuisplezier gewenst!
Ah those vintage groceries!ReplyDelete
the mayo is just the perfect addition,
lucky Billie with such a auntie!
It's funny, we also spent 3 years in our house and we will move in the new one in about two weeks...I know those mixed feeling...very happy to move forward but a bit nostalgic for the past.
Enjoy your new home, Renilde.
I'm looking forward for your new posts!
Oh, I know this feeling too well. Good luck to you & courage!ReplyDelete
i realy like the second picture!ReplyDelete
So fabulous! I love the mayonaise and your wonderful creations for Billie are just so cute! (I missed that post last year when we were travelling). Good luck with the move on Saturday Renilde! KxReplyDelete

When transits are at the edge of a sign and ready to move into the next zodiacal symbol they are always fascinating to observe and with the latest giant wave in Japan it might just attest to the power of the last degrees of any sign. Neptune was on the last degrees of Aquarius and Uranus on the last degrees of Pisces (both in mutual reception) when the power of the ocean (Neptune) unleashed its full force.
There are many astrologers that use the entry of planets into a new sign as a confident predictor for something happening on a large scale, of course, we are talking about the outer transits here. Case in point, and taken from a lecture by Stephen Arroyo on the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction: "Marc Edmund Jones recorded a prediction of Neptune's entrance into Libra in the fall of 1942 bringing about an event so epic that it would drastically change the course of world history.
In the fall of 1942, the first controlled nuclear chain reaction took place in Chicago, and the atomic age began." I examined the chart set for that date with Neptune in Libra a 0 degrees. Though many astrologers would naturally place Pluto in Leo's transit for this massive use of atomic energy and it would be an equally contributing factor. On the face of it this doesn't make much sense, for Neptune in Libra is the universal symbol of love and world harmony, but in fact there was the belief in the fact that atomic energy should not only enhance defence but also "promote world peace."
It is worth paying attention to transits entering a sign as many changes can be seen. The beginning of a sign reflects the first rush of new energy and often exaggerates the sign's energy. Look at Uranus' current transit at the beginning of Aries and the worldwide rebellions, clashes with authority and riots all over the world. Planets at the beginning of signs don't like to enter or leave their area quietly, and one often imagines the mundane astrologer circling the dates an outer planet enters and leaves a sign with a bright red marker. Even natal planets are said to be more extreme in expression when placed in the last degrees of a sign. Events tend to be magnified under transits in the beginning and the last degree of a sign, and we will all observe what happens when Uranus reaches the last degrees of Aries. Astrologer Liz Greene describes the 29th degree as the 'last fling' and it often strongly marks the person with the characteristic qualities of the sign. The astrologer claims that the most typical expressions she has seen of any sign have been 0 degrees and 29 degrees.

Genome Biology volume 1, Article number: spotlight-20001108-02 (2000)
534 Accesses
Research from the 30th Annual Society for Neuroscience Meeting in New Orleans (November 4-9) indicates that functional genomics is now being successfully used to address the issues of nervous system development and pathology. Connie Cepko, of Harvard Medical School, emphasized the particular challenges of working with the nervous system, in particular because of its extreme cellular heterogeneity. One of her favored model systems - the differentiation of photoreceptors in the mouse retina - has, however, proved to be extremely tractable (see the The Retina Microarray Project at the Cepko lab). Cepko has used microarrays and SAGE (serial analysis of gene expression; see the SAGE Home Page) to identify downstream targets of the crx (cone rod homeobox) gene, a locus to which human forms of blindness map. SAGE has been widely used in tumor cell profiling but rarely exploited in developmental biology or neuroscience. By sequencing a concatenated run of short, 10-14 base-pair tags from the 3' ends of sequences derived from an EST database, the gene expression profile a sample cell or tissue can be obtained. Comparison of SAGE profiles from crx knock-out and wild-type mice has revealed a large set of novel, candidate disease genes and potential downstream targets of crx.
At a 'New Neurobiology' press conference at the same meeting, Pat Levitt of the University of Pittsburgh revealed how microarray profiling has identified a single gene closely associated with schizophrenia - the first time microarray technology has been used to probe the genetic basis of a complex neurological disorder. The study, just published in Neuron (Mirnics et al., Neuron 2000 28:53-67) compared the expression of over 7000 gene transcripts in the prefrontal cortex of schizophrenics and control patients. Expression of one gene, NSF, encoding a protein involved in the presynaptic secretory machinery, is consistently downregulated in the prefrontal cortex of schizophrenics. Some of the genes identified by Levitt and co-workers in this study map closely to the chromosomal regions, such 22q11-13, already known to be linked to schizophrenia. As Levitt discussed, however, the data don't demonstrate causal relationships, as changes in the expression levels of some genes may simply represent compensation for the underlying disorder. Nevertheless, the use of a high-throughput method has pinpointed candidate genes at a rate far exceeding conventional approaches.

Customer service Manager at Sépaq
Charlevoix's authentic nature
«I come from Baie Saint-Paul. I spent 8 years on Côte-Nord, but my spouse and I finally came back. We adore the region and find that Québec City is more easily accessible from here.
When I came back home, I worked 9 years at Le Massif and will celebrate this year, my 20th anniversary at SEPAQ!
Due to a turn of events I began working in the great outdoors. I graduated with a diploma in accounting but at the onset of my career, I was changing employment every year. Once I mastered my tasks, I felt like I knew all there was and started getting restless. I tried several business sectors until I discovered, 20 years ago, an environment I really love.
Charlevoix is blessed with two national parks : the Grands-Jardins and the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie national parks. I first visited des Grands-Jardins as a child with my dad. The rocky notches so amazed him and I feel the same. I was 37, when I discovered the Hautes-Gorges national park. They reveal very different landscapes but are both alluring and breathtaking. I often go to one or the other with my family.
In addition to various activities, both parks count several hiking trails of various lengths and levels, with countless lookouts. My work takes me to the parks through the year and every third year or so, I travel all the trails to ascertain their quality. My favorite one is the Acropole-des-Draveurs path which I think is at its peak in the fall. As you reach the top you feel overwhelmed with pride for having successfully completed the climb. And what can be said about the view!
I love living in Charlevoix for all those trekking opportunities the region displays. We count our blessings for the year-round outdoor playground we call home. And I wish everyone experiences at least once in a lifetime, the musical happening Le Festif that takes place in Baie-Saint-Paul in July. »

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
Watch X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) full movies online 123movies.
Synopsis: When a "cure" is created, which apparently can turn any mutant into a "normal" human being, there is outrage amongst the mutant community. While some mutants do like the idea of a "cure", including Rogue, many mutants find that there shouldn't be a "cure". Magneto, who still believes a war is coming, recruits a large team of mutants to take down Warren Worthington II and his "cure". Might seem easy for the X-Men to stop, but Magneto has a big advantage, which Wolverine doesn't have. Jean Grey has returned, and joined with Magneto. The Dark Phoenix has woken within her, which has the ability to destroy anything in her way, even if that "anything" is an X-Man.

"The Zombie Genealogist" because I am always up at all hours of the night hot on the trail of some elusive ancestor or deeply invested in whatever subject I am currently learning. I don't begrudge this encompassing passion of mine; however, I constantly stomp through my regular life exhausted and feeling half dead - like a zombie!
And, honestly, what genealogist isn't trying to raise the dead so to speak? That's our job! We're all trying in our own way to bring the dead back to life, to make them UNdead, to reanimate them, to create our own family "army" of THE WALKING DEAD - right?
So, yeah - the moniker is unique and different... and hopefully memorable! It's topical and trendy these days, at least. And I actually do happen to love zombies - courtesy of my husband who converted me long ago with his horror film obsession.
Positivity | Innovation | Tolerance | Humour
I am not exactly sure, yet, how this blog will work itself out... but a wise genea-blogger once told me that I have to do it for myself and no one else. So this is me, writing for myself, not worrying about an audience or target market [at least not yet], discovering my goals and dreams and genea-voice!
I already know that I hope this blog will help me:
- Bring a new, helpful perspective to this field. **
- BE THE ANCESTOR I WISH I HAD!! In other words, to record and share some of my own family stories and thoughts/feelings about present-day issues as well of the more mundane aspects of my daily life for myself and future generations.
- To inspire others to write their family stories and record their own thoughts and feelings about present-day issues and the details of their everyday life for themselves and for future generations.
- To foster interest in and enthusiasm for family history and genealogy in my family, geographical area and beyond.
- To assist others with their own family tree research, if I can.
- To practice and refine my research techniques and genealogical skills.
- To reel in any potential cousins who may be wandering the world wide web.
- To grow as a person and a genealogist.
Although I will endeavour to avoid repetition of news and events [because there are certainly many more capable and informed bloggers out there than me, at present!!] this may be a place where a hodge-podge of genealogically and historically interesting tidbits collect as I struggle to find my own unique voice and place within the genealogy community.

Yes, The Asterisks Mean Something...
** It is my earnest hope that the perspective of this genealogy N00B and so-called "youngin" will prove insightful, even helpful to those already "in the know". My understanding, so far, is that the genealogy community at large would like to attract the interest of younger generations. Well, I'm in my early thirties and can count on two hands [max!] the number of similarly-aged individuals I've seen attending conferences (in Ontario, Canada)... So, hopefully, the viewpoint of a young(er) beginner(-ish) genealogist can add new juice to the cause, supply a new angle to consider or spark someone else's incredible idea. It is my goal to be provocative (and therefore helpful) if possible but never disrespectful. I fully anticipate that my lack of experience and knowledge will cause the ole Foot-In-Mouth Disease to flare up occasionally; but, please know ahead of time that it is never, ever my intention to be rude or arrogant.
*** ....Or ARE they??? Stay tuned!!

What are Kekkei Genkai(Bloodline Limits)?
Bloodline limits (Kekkei Genkai) are special abilities or bodily constitutions passed down genetically. Generally speaking, only those born into the bloodline possess the potential, although the power level may vary. In some cases the power lies dormant until awakened.
There are mainly three types of Kekkei Genkai. One is Doujutsu, represented by Uchiha family's Sharingan. Another is Nature Transformation, which is to combine two of the five main elements (fire, water, wind, earth, thunder) to create a new nature. The last one is idiosyncrasy type, including Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku.
The Three Great Doujutsu (Eye Techniques)
This refers to ninja techniques executed using one's eyes. They do not require hand seals, but tend to use a great deal of chakra and stamina. The three most famous ones are the Sharingan, Byakugan, and the Rinnegan.
1. Byakugan
Users: Hyuga Family
The Byakugan grants an almost perfect field of vision through even solid objects, except a small blind spot near the second vertebrae behind the individual. The user also gains the ability to see meters to even kilometers further. The Byakugan also detects chakra fields that result from casting ninja techniques, giving the user the ability to detect illusions, and even gives the chakra pathways of other ninja, which led to the development of the signature Hyuuga fighting style.
2. Sharingan
Users: Uchiha Family, Kakashi Hatake, Danzou Shimura
Gives the user the ability to learn and use any ninjutsu, genjutsu, or taijutsu simply by witnessing it. (This excludes other Bloodline Limits, of course.) The user also gains the ability to see faster movements, as well as detect chakra to the point where it's possible to differ between a clone and the real person.
3. Mangekyou Sharingan
Users: Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, Izuna Uchiha, Shin Uchiha, Kakashi Uchiha
The Mangekyou Sharingan is gained upon seeing the dead of a loved one with a regular Sharingan. This upgrade is exponentially more powerful than the original, and grants additional powers that vary from person to person. Using the Mangekyou Sharingan causes excessive strain on the eyes, and the user loses their vision when Mangekyou is activated until they go blind.
The Special Abilities of Mangekyou Sharingan
Unlike normal genjutsu that project an illusion in the target's mind, Izanami affects reality. Affecting the user rather than others, it's possible to turn unfavorable situations into "dreams" and favorable situations into "reality". This comes at a cost however- the eye that casts Izanagi is rendered blind.
The technique created in order to punish abusers of the Izanagi. Like its counterpart, also blinds the eye that it uses. Using Izanami, it's possible to trap the target in an unending cycle of the same event by feeding the memory and sensations of the event through the Sharingan. Instead of escaping a situation, the target is forced to repeat that moment endlessly until they decide to reject the Izanagi illusion in favor of true reality.
The user gains the ability to teleport either themselves or an area in their line of sight into a barrier dimension. This ability can be used to dodge enemy attacks, or absorb enemy projectiles and send them back towards the caster. The amount of time the user can spend in the separate dimension is limited.
A black flame that burns through anything for seven days and seven nights is manifested at the point of focus.
Grants the ability to further manipulate Amaterasu. The user can transform the flames to use defensively as a shield, or shape them into spears of flame for offense.
Creates an illusion where the user is able to control mass, space, and even time. This technique requires eye contact to be performed. Whatever horrors the victim suffers are not visible to bystanders, although they frequently leave the victim psychologically scarred.
An undetectable illusion that implants false memories into a target, controlling them even while they believe they are acting of their own free will.
By bringing shape to the user's chakra, Susanoo provides heavy defense against all ninjutsu, while attacking on the user's behalf. Susanoo also has additional powers that vary according to the user.
-The Sword of Totsuka: A katana that can seal anyone it strikes in a genjutsu for eternity. Used by Itachi.
-The Mirror of Yata: A physical and genjutsu shield that provides absolute defense. Used by Itachi.
-Indra's Arrows: A lightning fast, viciously powerful arrow that pierces the enemy. Used by Sasuke.
-Yasaka Magatama: Orbs of black flame that resemble the magatama shape in Sharingan are created from Susanoo's hand, then fired as projectiles. Used by Itachi, Sasuke, and Madara.
4. Rinnegan
Users: Nagato, Sasuke Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, Kaguya Otsutsuki, Hagoromo Otsutsuki
The rarest and most powerful of the three Doujutsu. In addition to being able to perform all of the nature transformations, the user gains access to the Six Paths, as well as the seventh, Outer Path. Anything summoned using the Rinnegan borrows the power of the Rinnegan and shares visual information with the original owner, giving them the ultimate defense.
The Seven Paths and other abilities of Rinnegan
1. The Naraka Path
Allows the user to summon the King of Hell. He can be used to interrogate victims, although torture might be a more appropriate word. When summoned, a monster manifests from black smoke, and pulls out the target's soul using armlike appendages that come from its mouth. If they lie during the questioning, they are killed.
The Naraka Path also has the ability to resuscitate things, healing any damage.
2. The Preta Path
This absorbs all other jutsu or forms of chakra using the Blocking Technique Absorption Seal. It's also possible to absorb someone's chakra directly with physical contact.
3. The Animal Path
Allows the user to summon different creatures or animals.
4. The Asura Path
Allows the user to summon weapons and armor by modifying their body.
5. The Human Path
Allows the user to read the thoughts and memories of the target by pulling their soul out from their head or chest. The target dies as the soul becomes separated from their body.
6. The Deva Path
Allows the user to manipulate both attractive and repulsive forces. This includes the Shinra Tensei, Banshō Ten'in, and Tengai Shinsei.
7. The Outer Path
Grants the ability to use a high level reincarnation jutsu: Outer Path- Samsara of Heavenly Life. Also allows the user to create chakra paths, as well as control beings via chakra receivers.
Limbo: Border Jail
Allows the user to summon copies of themselves that are undetectable to anyone but the user. They can be used to attack or defend.
Allows the user to shift the positions of anything within a fixed radius in an instant. Ambushes and quick escapes are among the many uses of this ability.
Bloodline Limited Nature Transformation
Some shinobi are able to combine two of the five main elements to create a new nature.
1. Ice Release
Users: Haku, Yuki clan
Created by using Water and Wind Releases simultaneously. This includes the ability to create mirror-like ice blocks in which the user can move freely and quickly.
2. Wood Release
Users: Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, Yamato, Danzou Shimura, Obito Uchiha
Created by combining Water and Earth Releases. The user's chakra is used as a life source to grow plants almost anywhere. Useful for offense and defense, this includes techniques such as Four-Pillar House, which creates an undetectable house, as well as God: Nativity of a World of Trees, which ensnared all living beings and sapped their chakra.
3. Storm Release
Users: Darui
A combination of Water and Lightning Releases. The user can emit a strong laser that can be bent and controlled at will, even avoiding allies and hitting only enemies.
4. Lava Release
Users: Kurotsuchi(the forth Tsuchikage), Dodai, Roushi(Jinchuuriki of the Four-Tails)
Allows the user to create several different materials, such as lava, rubber, or lime, by combining Earth and Fire Releases.
5. Acid Lava Release
Users: Mei Terumi(the fifth Mizukage)
Enables the users to effuse strongle acid liquid. The liquid dissolves everything it touches.
6. Boil Release
Users: Mei Terumi(the fifth Mizukage)
By combining Fire and Water Releases, the user can generate various gaseous materials, such as a highly corrosive, acidic mist, or steam created by boiling chakra, granting the user higher damage or propulsion.
7. Explosion Release
Users: Gari
Blows things up from the inside with a combination of earth and lightning chakra.
8. Scorch Release
Users: Pakura
Combines fire and wind chakra to create temperatures so high they boil targets' insides, effectively mummifying them.
9. Magnet Release
Users: Gaara, Rasa(the forth Kazekage), the third Kazekage, Sasori, Toroi
Allows the user to manipulate magnets and magnetic fields using wind and earth based chakra. Gaara's sand uses this.
10. Dust Release(Kekkei Touta)
Users: Onoki(the third Tsuchikage), Mu(the second Tsuchikage)
Dust Release is the only Kekkei Touta that has been identified. Kekkei Touka is a higher grade of Natural Transformation, and its users can combine three of the main chakra types.
Dust Release is a combination of Earth, Wind, and Fire. Creates a cube that expands outwards, destroying everything within it on a molecular level.
11.Kekkei Moura
Users: Kaguya Ōtsuki, Hagoromo Ōtsuki, Naruto Uzumaki, Madara Rikudō, Obito Rikudō
Kekkei Moura is even upper version of Kekkei Touka. Users of Kekkei Moura are able to combine all chakra types, including the Yin and Yang. These techniques are basically only usable by Kaguya Ōtsuki's descendants.

Precision Fixture Design & Automation
We have delivered many projects where design elements come together to create a custom measurement & inspection machine that is integrated with a new or existing production cell. The machines are customized to the requirements of the production process performing procedures that will ascertain KPI for the parts being built in the process. Every piece of machinery that operates in industrial environments must be safe, needs friendly and intuitive operator interfaces, requires connection to factory data management system which may include such as batch and serial number identifiers, production date and so on.
Furthermore, in many production scenarios, a production cell must cater for a family of related products. Therefore designing precision fixtures which adapt well to production change-overs, provide good and clear ergonomics for operators, maintenance personnel, are key features of a successful machinery. Customers can rely on us to not only supply them with state of the art custom equipment, but also to act as their consultants in many aspects of the design which will impact productivity and ease of use in their factory. We are confident that our previous experience in building automated test and inspection machinery will add considerable value to the design and operation of the custom work stations.

No matter how you fish for trout, fly-fishing, spinning, jigging, trolling or harling, this book will help you catch fish more often.
"Here is a piece of information all fishermen need to know - at any one time, trout are found in less than 10% of the water they live in - often in much less than 10%. This is an important piece of information. In any river, stream or lake only 10 percent or less of the all that water will contain trout."
If you want to become one of the 10% of fishermen who catch 90% of the fish you need to know where trout can be found more often, and then how to fish for them, when you find them.
Tony Bishop has fished for over fifty years and written monthly fishing columns for over fifteen years. First for the New Zealand Fishing News and then, New Zealand Fisherman, and a number of overseas magazines.
His first fishing book 'Fishing Smarter' was published in 1997, and reprinted every year since. He has appeared on numerous fishing programs on television, and hosted radio programs. Many of Tony's articles and stories have a recurrent theme - an exploration of the many factors that determine the difference between success and failure to catch fish.
Tony started fishing as a youngster around Christchurch, then around the mouth of the Waimakariri River, where his family lived for a time. Then trips throughout the South Island followed. In his late teens the family moved to Auckland. Despite working in the hectic world of marketing and sales management and helping to raise three sons, Tony managed to fit in plenty of fishing, both around New Zealand and overseas.
Finally opting out of the "corporate lunacy", forten years till mid 1998 Tony owned and operated one of New Zealand's most well known tackle shops, Just Fishin', in Auckland
It only seems a short while ago that I was reviewing Tony's first book, Fishing Smarter. That's because it was only a short time ago - less than a year in fact. Well, Tony's been a busy boy since then and this latest offering
is proof that he's becoming one of New Zealand's most prolific authors. Luckily, he's also pretty good!
Actually I'm biased. I've always enjoyed Tony's writing and have had the pleasure of editing some of it for the last few years. Quite a bit of the material in this book is familiar to me and will be familiar to regular readers of New Zealand Fisherman Magazine, as it first appeared in these pages. It is mostly worth reading again. The rest is new, and as always with Tony's stuff its often slightly offbeat or tongue in cheek. As he writes early on, what you won't find in Fishing Smarter for Trout is dogma.
What you will find are lots of practical hints and tips that will help you find and catch trout, gleaned from Tony's own experience and wide reading. Its all arranged in easy-to-digest 'bytes' and written in no-nonsense prose. The anecdotes are funny but its the practical stuff I really like - the book is packed with it.
Nearly every conceivable aspect of trout fishing is covered in Fishing Smarter for Trout, some of it in depth and some less comprehensively. There's an emphasis on fishing in the North Island (that's where Tony chases trout) but most of the techniques translate to South Island fishing as well. The lack of trout fishing 'mysticism' and over-use of jargon, often such a feature of 'trout books', is refreshing, but most important of all, the book is entertaining and informative.
Try it, I challenge you not to learn something.
First Published by The Halcyon Press ISBN 0-908685-39-4
My first trout fishing book Fishing Smarter for Trout is now up on this site and
free to read. Includes regular updates and new stuff.
Reading the Water
Most fishermen have a few pet theories about what catches trout and what does not.
One of my theories, some call it an obsession, is that it is not what you fish with, but where you fish, that is the prime factor in determining fishing success or failure.
'Reading the water' to find trout is essential if you want to become a good or better angler.

Fintech has provided customers with a plethora of alternative banking products to choose from. However, you don't have to be tech-savvy to bank outside the traditional banking system. One banking alternative that's been gaining traction in recent years is credit unions, which have been around since the late 19th century.
WTF are credit unions?
Credit unions are financial cooperatives that are owned by their members. Like banks, credit unions provide basic financial services, such as banking and ATM services, loans and payments, and investing. However, in order to join a credit union, you have to have share a certain commonality with the other credit union members, such as location, community, church, or place of employment.
Because credit unions are not-for-profit organizations, whose goal is to serve their members and not their shareholders, these organizations are exempted from taxes. Banks are obviously not down with this exemption, and in 1998, the banking industry won a Supreme Court ruling against credit unions that limited who could join these co-ops and threw into question the status of as many as 20 million existing customers of credit unions.
Not to worry, though. Credit unions have come up with some creative - and community driven - ways to get around that ruling.
Want to join Alliance Credit Union but don't live in Chicago? Just donate $10 to the non-profit Foster Care for Success and you're good to go. Feel like joining the NASA Federal Credit Union but you (sadly) aren't an astronaut? Simply join the National Space Society (free) and deposit at least $5 in savings account.
Talk to me in numbers.
A 2014 report published by the World Council of Credit Unions lists 57,000 credit unions in 105 countries in every continent on planet earth (save Antarctica). These organizations serve 217 million people worldwide, and combined hold $1.5 trillion in savings, $1.2 trillion in loans, $151 billion in reserves, and $1.8 trillion in assets.
Why choose credit unions over banks?
Credit unions' tax exemption gives them an edge over traditional banks in terms of fees: 76% of US credit unions offer free checking accounts, and most have substantially milder penalty fees (such as overdraft or ATM withdrawal fees).
Furthermore, a 2014 survey conducted by the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ASCI) found that credit unions were easily winning the customer satisfaction game: credit unions average an 85 customer satisfaction score, while banks lag behind at 76.
The same report showed that member loyalty is nearly 20% higher at credit unions than at any other financial services the ACSI surveyed, and the complaint rate among credit union members is less than half the rate at banks.
Still, credit unions aren't a deus ex machina with the power to resolve any and all banking problems. As BankRate's David McMillin points out, credit unions don't always win against the banks, especially when it comes to being able to offer attractive rewards programs and innovative digital banking solutions.
Plus, in spite of their get-out-of-tax-free card, credit unions may have to up their fees to meet regulatory expectations, just like banks.
So are credit unions up to digital scratch or not?
That's like asking whether all banks have figured out how to seamlessly digitize all of their services. The answer is yes, and no. Some credit unions -- like the aforementioned Alliance Credit Union and NASA Federal Credit Union, which feature on multiple "best credit union" lists - -are outfitted with up-to-date online and mobile technology, including P2P payments.
Other credit unions, like Tinker Federal Credit Union and Visions Federal Credit Union still have a ways to go when it comes to providing a positive digital experience for customers.Photo credit: Hoffnungsschimmer via Visualhunt.com / CC BY Photo credit: Consumerist Dot Com via Visualhunt / CC BY

New Delhi, Sep 26: The Lodha panel is submitting a report to the Supreme Court on Tuesday saying that the Board of Control for Cricket in India is ignoring its recommendations on bringing changes in its governance.
The Lodha panel was formed by the Supreme Court in the wake of the 2013 IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal. In its report to the Supreme Court on July 18 this year, the panel, headed by former Chief Justice of India RM Lodha, had suggested several changes in reforming the world's richest cricket body.
BCCI has called for a Special General Meeting (SGM) on September 30.
The BCCI held its Annual General Meeting on September 21. Flouting the Lodha guidelines, the BCCI named several committees that will be effective for 2016-17.
Lodha panel had set the BCCI two deadlines – September 30 to make constitutional changes and December 15 for the Board to form a nine-member Apex committee that will replace the working committee.
The BCCI did not accept all the proposals made by the Lodha panel. The BCCI appointed former Supreme Court judge Justice Markandey Katju to review the Lodha panel recommendations and advise on whether to implement them.

Transport of Hydrocarbons in the Oil and Gas Industries
This Paper is an exploratory attempt to examine the distribution of raw and refined petroleum products by all transport modes over the period 1971–72 to 1986–87. The modal shares of the hydrocarbon movements task have been estimated together with the average growth rate of movements by each mode for that same period. Some origin-destination analysis has been undertaken with analyses of coastal shipping and pipeline movements being the most recent. Annually aggregated tonnages moved by the separate transport modes are the primary focus of this study. This study examines petroleum product movements up to 1986–87 and growth rates have been derived for each of the modal tasks up to this date. No forecasting of future movements shares, which would use these growth rates, is attempted.

They say time flies when you're having fun. I agree and will add that time also flies when you're trying to keep up with Chris Scott …as I sit here staring at my computer screen, trying to remember all that has transpired since my last blog post almost two months ago. However, since the reason for keeping this blog is that of a personal journal, I put no pressure on myself for being a bad blogger.
Cajun Coyote was a success, and it will be fun to watch the event grow in the coming years. As with some other events--Bull Run Run and the VHTRC Women's Half Marathon to name just a couple--Chris's creative brain conceives of--along with Mark in Cajun's case--and realizes that conception through to reality before turning over the reigns and moving on. Pretty though not "spectacular" in a Hardrock/UTMB sense, the Cajun course is stellar, appealing especially to those looking for a runner's course as opposed to the more difficult events where one ends up walking much more than actually running. Like Rocky Racoon but a little bit slower perhaps, the entire 20-mile loop is run-able, and being a 20-mile loop, a crew is unnecessary. It would also make for a nice intro to the 100 mile distance. As I said, it'll be fun to watch this event evolve. Given the opportunity (as in two extra days) to get in my 50 trail miles in Mississippi, I opted not to run Cajun this year.
(Tetsuro resting up for Cajun)
Fifty trail miles in Mississippi?? Yep, on the Black Creek and Tuxachanie Trails in DeSoto National Forest which lies between the Gulf Coast and Hattiesburg. The Black Creek Trail is 41 miles point-to-point, so I made up the 9-mile difference on the Tuxachanie, a lovely converted rail-trail just a few miles down the road. The Black Creek is one of the oddest trails I've ever traversed. The Trail suffered extensive damage during Hurricane Katrina back in 2005--and in light of that fact, it's amazing that it was ever reopened (thank you, thank you!). However, in reopening the Trail the Forest Service apparently drove a bulldozer over many, many miles of the pathway, and they regularly bush-hog most of the trail. The upside of this is that the trail was very run-able and I could spend a lot of time looking around. Except for a few miles that go through Designated Wilderness, where the trail was somewhat of a meandering obstacle course of blowdowns (but fun), the Black Creek Trail reminded me of a Nordic ski trail in the off season, the irony of course being that this was Mississippi where it never snows enough to ski. While following the grassy/piney "hiking trail" throughout the day, I found myself repeatedly laughing at the irony. This is not to say the Trail was boring or visually unappealing. There were a surprising number of up-and-down roller coasters, and the trees--especially the long leaf pine and palmettos--were stunningly unique for me. Not surprisingly, I encountered not a soul on either of the Trails. There were quite a few road crossings which enabled Chris and our friend Tetsuro to crew me and run short sections (Tetsuro went on to win the inaugural Cajun 100 in 18:38!). I was extremely grateful for their help. So, Mississippi is done… which leaves 15 more States and DC to go in my 50 Project (see sidebar). This has been a lot of fun.
(It was hunting season, hence the red & orange.)
We wanted Tetsuro to get the full, er, "flavor" of the Deep South, so we visited Cracker Barrel, Piggly Wiggly, and Waffle House before hightailing it to Cajun Country.
(Cooking potatoes and burritoes for Cajun Coyote with Wild Bill.)
After Louisiana we had an unusual lull in travel and were actually home for a whole month. Kind of novel to get into a regular routine for a change: YMCA Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings for spinning, elliptical, and yoga, trail runs in the Santa Monica Mountains most of the other days. (Yes, I love my life.) I also did some mountain biking at Point Mugu State Park and finally rode--down the moderately technical Guadalasca and Multi-Purpose and up the very, very steep Hell Hill--clean, i.e. no dabbing, stopping, or falling! We also tackled some home improvement projects including painting the dining room a vibrant red (we love it--no boring white/beige walls in our house!), getting some new window blinds in the kitchen and dining room (yay, the neighbors can no longer watch us walking around in our skivvies!), and deck furniture (finally--the deck was built over the summer of 2010 and has been sitting empty all that time), and finally--hopefully you are sitting down--a new vacuum cleaner. Exciting, huh?! Understand that, other than the XX chromosomes, Martha Stewart and I have absolutely nothing in common--home decorating not being of even remote interest to me--so I see these projects as major accomplishments.
The year ended with the Winter Solstice, my Birthday, Christmas, and our Anniversary (four years already!) falling within a week, shortly followed by New Year's and a little Fat-Ass "24 Hours of Ray" running event (above photo). This was my brainchild--or, more accurately, one of my many flippant "Hey, we should do THIS for an event…"remarks--that Chris made happen. The idea was to see how many 7.3 mile La Jolla-Ray Miller loops one could do in a 24-hour period, from 8 a.m. on 12/31 to 8 a.m. on 1/1. Surprisingly, we had almost 40 crazies show up to run but probably half of them did just one or two loops. Wild Bill collected the most loops at 11; I'd had enough after 7 but then walked a final loop with Chris and Manley in order to be at "the Loge" at midnight for a bad rendition of Auld Lang Syne. Almost 60 miles, not a bad way to close out 2011.
That almost brings this little journal up to date, but the last week deserves its own posting.

Hi Maggie, thank you so much for all your kind and encouraging words. I am sorry that it has taken me a while to reply, but I actually graduated from medical school last week, so things have been a bit crazy. It was very odd, as here I was expected to be all excited over this huge occasion, this moment that I had been working towards for years, but I was still very much grieving this loss. I think that I have come to realize that, for me at least, this was much more of a loss than any of the other BFN's because these babies weren't just dreams, they were there, they were real, we have an ultrasound picture of the embryos and their fluid when they did the transfer, we got daily updates on how they were growing in the lab. So in some ways that makes the loss more raw, but then at other times I take comfort knowing that we had those little embryos, those beginnings of our babies. So I am not at all regretful that we did IVF, we had to give it a try, and I know that it is successful and wonderful for many couples - and still may be for us someday if we try it again.
Anyway, I completely understand you feeling upset when you got your period. All through this I have been secretly hoping that us not getting pregnant was just a fluke this time, that in the future we will still have the chance to conceive "naturally" (whatever that means, right?). Even now as we are getting ready to take this break from serious hard-core infertility measures, I have this idea that as long as I don't think about it too much, we might get pregnant. That we will be one of those stories that fertile people like to tell about the couple who did every infertility treatment imaginable and were taking a break and relaxing and then got pregnant :)
Wow, sorry that ended up being so long - guess I needed to vent more than I had thought.
Anyway, I would love to hear where you are with everything. Have you started stimulation yet? If so, how is that going? I am really praying that everything is going well with you.

Continuing to study Li Edelkoort trend forecasts and fragrance designers that succeeded to translate them to the perfumery world, I present today our second showcase:
Photo credit: KEROSENE
Last December I was one of the bloggers presenting in first hand groundbreaking news: the birth of a new brand "KEROSENE FRAGRANCES", created by young fragrance reviewer John Arthur (aka Kerosene Trewthe) - click on KEROSENE FRAGRANCES for the article/interview/fragrance review. Hi first launch R'OUD ELEMENTS, a seductive, incensy & woody EDP caught my attention and filled my heart with joy - what I loved the most is that: one - John is a fragrance reviewer like many of us in the fragrance community, with no classic perfumery training, but with a natural skill; two - he develops the fragrance bottles design by himself; three - he is a cool guy with a shy and gentle way, with a modesty that it is hard to find among perfumers. Most of them have huge egos. Today he is going to be the center of my attentions again, because IMO he represents the quintessence of the modern olfactive designer, so let's find out why...
"The more virtual life became, the more tactile we wished to become".
Li Edelkoort
According to forecaster and trendsetter Li Edelkoort, "the globalization of the world as one market brought shopping boredom and uniformity". Today, big chains, such as chain stores, chain food, chain couture, chain coffee houses replaced alternative, unique boutiques. The idea of finding the same products in Paris, Tokyo, Rio, Berlin made us feel equals, connected. That would represents the notion of modern marketing. But is it really the future?
I recall that some people made fun of Le Labo when they launched fragrances that could only be bought in specific towns. Maybe Le Labo is not the greatest niche brand there is, but I think that Eddie & Fabrice knew what they were doing: they were ahead of everybody, launching products that would fight this massive boredom. The concept of making fragrance shopping global was already dead (and this is one more characteristic of the global marketing - it moves fast). The exclusive, the local, was to be yet forecasted as the new trend of shopping behavior, and eventually it arrived. Bravo Fabrice! I also wished people could still buy Havainas only in Brazil!!
As Li continues to explain in her essay, "to answer to this growing global resistance to constant renewal and limitless expansion, humanity and integrity are requested for the years to come. It is time to empower goods with a new dimension; their own character, an invisible energy locked into the design process".
So here we have a young man that decided to be virtual and share his taste for fragrances in YOUTUBE, making fragrance review videos. Fragrance preferences morphed into virtuality. OK, he is not the only one doing it, and probably not also the first one who did it, but John jumped many steps forward when he transformed the virtual dream into reality. Not just any reality, but a handmade one. The more virtual he became, the more tactile and real he wished to be. He wanted make his own fragrances.
As the guru of trends predicts "The growing influence of an all-encompassing digital fantasy world has triggered an enormous quest for the manual and the tactile, with our fingers deciding through feeling long before our eyes start judging form and volume, and with manually-powered production coming back to the fore".
John not only decided to fulfill a dream that he had, but he started a venture that delivers what consumers are looking for: to touch, to smell, to feel. And he did it in a very clever way. Since he had many followers (globally and virtually), why not to reach out and be even closer to them?
"I believe that we will be able to make the object, concept, or service come alive to be our partner, pet or friend, and to relate to us on a direct and day-to-day level. Only when design will be empowered with emotion will we be able to create a new generation of things that will promote and sell themselves; they will have acquired an aura able to seduce even the most hardened consumers on their own terms. Only then will design have acquired soul." (Li Edelkoort)

We now have a whiff of Kerosene in our homes, in a direct day-to-day level. We will have drops of his heart and soul (because he puts his heart & soul into these fragrances he creates) bottled just for us - Li says and I quote her - John fragrances will sell because you will find soul in it, you find emotions in liquid form. Check his page in facebook. You will find the the description of the brand as "notes: guts, passion, storms, love, resonance, experiences". This is olfactive design empowered with emotions! The fragrances do have an aura able to seduce us because he uses raw materials that have been seducing HIM all these years.
A bit of his love & passion: Gordana, his girlfriend, and fragrances!
"Great sharing the love of scent with someone special. MiN NY is such a great place. The atmosphere is unlike a place you'll ever experience. Top-freaking-notch". (extracted from John's facebook wall)
"Craft holds this promise: the turn of this century has witnessed a return to the arts and crafts movement in a step-by-step repetition of the last turning of the centuries. Haunted by similar fears and interested by a similar vision, designers and artists have once more taken on the handmade and the hand-finished with absolute fervor". (Li Edelkoort)
Right now I picture many of you saying "So? What about all the niche brands out there? Aren't they boutique fragrances? Aren't they handcrafted too?" Well, not as much as KEROSENE FRAGRANCES. John has produced every single bottle with his own hands. He does all the painting for all the bottles with automotive paint.
In his own words:
"Although sniffing anything I can get my snout on is quite enjoyable, I began to get bored with sampling scents and I felt it was time to see if I could combine the right notes and create something. My goal; raw, unique, but approachable. With the scents, I wanted the bottle design to match. So I put my painting talents to work, and little did I know, my factory production background would come in good use. Each bottle will be unique, always painted with high quality automotive paint and clearcoat. The result is if a shiny, classic metallic Ford collided with perfume and songs by The Cure resonate out of tiny speakers from the clunky 8-track player". (extracted from MIN NEW YORK website)

The handcrafted design of his fragrance bottles
R'OUD ELEMENTS EDP - both bottle and cap have a clear black coating.
COPPER SKIES EDP - the bottle has green automotive paint, with a small black bird on the right bottom corner, and an imprinted copper label. The cap has a rustic copper wiring rolled on a rustic fabric.
CREATURE EDP - the bottle is the same as Copper Skies, but with an encrusted green cap - as he explained, he wanted a reference to a mossy green monster.

"With a consumer ready to embrace the rare, the unraveled and the irregular in this quest for soul in a product, the arts and crafts movement is back at the forefront of fashion and design. The ritualistic qualities inherent to the making of the craft object or the symbolic quality in the concept of a human service will gradually become more important; in a quest for experience, consumers will want to embrace a spiritual dimension and select merchandise to appease this inner need. Some craft items will become new design collectibles within a matter of decades, and already we see the prices of some textiles, objects and artworks escalating to greater and never-before imagined heights…
Therefore the products of the future will be unique as well as universal. Using regional roots, local colour and universal references related to earth, animals, gardening and home. Living an unplugged yet wired lifestyle, considering rural romantic sources of inspiration, craft and design will merge to inspire a new more self-conscious and mature consumer to be. A consumer that becomes the curator of his or her own life". L.E.
If you go back to my interview with John, you will understand that he is exactly doing what Li says. He is using his regional roots from Michigan and its cold weather as a starting point for his creations. He managed to make a urban concept that does not distance itself from the nature of his surroundings. He is offering not only perfumes, but a lifestyle: his!

Just like an older car, with any webOS device these days, you have to perform some maintenance to keep it running smoothly. And one of those maintenance items you have to do on your webOS device is cleaning out the "var" (variable data) partition.
If your webOS device has any of the following symptoms, the trouble could be that your "var" partition is full, or nearly full:
- Unable to download files, or play streaming media.
- Can't install or update webOS apps.
- Trouble downloading new e-mails.
- Generally sluggish, or very slow to respond to gestures.

The 8 Types Of Kids Who Come Over To Play
Whatever the dynamics at school or on the playground, sometimes the nicest kids turn into whole new people when they come over to your house. Here's a handy cheat sheet of the eight types of kids who show up for playdates and what to do about them:
Dumpers: Named by my friend Sachiyo, these kids love to take a container and dump. Pick up container, empty container, move on. Repeat. You thought your love of buckets and baskets meant your house was organized, but you didn't realize all those plastic containers are like magnets to these kids. You have to decide if you want to deal with the hassle of making everyone pick up as they go or just mumble to yourself as you dig LEGOs out of the carpet once they're gone.
Foragers: These shorties don't just ask for snacks. Instead, they wander into the kitchen and start hunting and gathering. When my fridge starts beeping, I notice the door's been open for a while. Then I see some kid standing halfway inside, snacking on grapes and looking for something sweet. Pantry, cookie jar, a pie cooling in the window — nothing's safe when you've got foragers in the house.
Boasters: In my day, we'd boast that our dad could beat up your dad. Today's kids might be bragging about a new gadget, vacation spot, or even getting to stay up late. Take it all with a grain of salt, and teach that to your own child once the boaster has gone home for the day. Once a boaster starts, the stakes keep getting raised and all the kids involved can get a little braggy. Make sure your kid doesn't pick up any Boasterific habits.
Leaders: It may be your house, but these kids are in charge. "You be the servant and I'll be the queen." Maybe you make your child let the guest choose what to do, but these kids know it and take advantage, pushing everyone around. When it starts to get ridiculous — for example, if you hear "I'm going to cut your hair" from the other room — you might want to step in.
Criers: She's tired. He's hungry. Maybe the playdate is going on too long. Maybe mom comes sooner than he hoped. No matter what happens, this kid starts oozing from the eyes in a span of seconds. You try to comfort, but when there's no actual problem, the weeping gets old pretty fast.
Hangers-On: Planning to get some bills paid while Junior has a friend over? Silly you. If you've got a HO at your house, enjoy being followed from room to room. This kid never offers to help, but wants to be your special friend. Even better if you get one who wants to talk and get some adult conversation in while your own child wonders what's going on.
Shriekers: Once you've had a shrieking kid in your house, every other playdate will be outside at a park. These friends have voices that jump octaves and bring on a migraine within minutes. Doesn't matter if they're happy, scared, or anything in between. Those sounds will make your dog run away and have you counting down the minutes.
Imaginers: Break out the costume box and let them go wild. These are the kids with vivid interior lives — the ones who might get a bit distracted daydreaming at school. They get very into whatever they're playing — watch out if someone says she's a shark or you might get bit. With just a little encouragement and plenty of space, imaginers can spend hours making their own fun. Probably the best kind of kid that could come over, even if you risk being bitten.

Brian Sandoval, business friendly, Conservatives, Employment, GOP, job creation, job quality, Nevada, Republicans, Sheldon Adelson, Unemployment
For years Nevada conservatives have waved the banner of the 'business friendly myth' that low taxes and minimal regulation will attract new business to Nevada. The truth is that 'business friendly' does little, if anything, to attract quality jobs and makes this former Mexican province one of the worst in the nation in societal quality-of-life factors.
Poor Job Quality
Typical experiences of Nevada's unemployment disaster indicate a long-term unemployment crisis and not a temporary business downturn.
In May of this year a master's degree engineering graduate from the University of Nevada wanted to keep his family in the state but had to move his family to San Jose, CA to find employment. Another unemployed resident couldn't find a job because she was "overqualified." Her skills consisted primarily of a stable work history managing a telephone answering service. In Nevada there are no jobs now nor in the near future that will be available for anything but the lowest qualified worker.
While most of the country has experienced some recovery from the massive job losses between 2008 and the first quarter of 2010, Nevada has not, despite the assurances of Governor Brian Sandoval. Conservatives point to wealthy Nevadans as the 'job creators' who will be the source of new jobs. Instead wealthy people like casino mogul Sheldon Adelson have poured millions of dollars into campaigns for conservative politicians ( $70 million so far,) while the citizens of the state have borne the impact of the unemployment crisis.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal article by Ed Vogel stated that of the few new Nevada jobs available in the future, most will be low-paying, low-skill, non-career jobs. The top four fastest growing jobs in Nevada are 1) retail salespeople, 2) waiters/waitresses, 3) cashiers, 4) gaming dealers.
These type of jobs do not provide for a career with a progressive future and leave the worker with little spendable income after basic living costs. The highly qualified worker has little hope of finding a job that matches his/her abilities. This creates a 'Catch-22' scenario. Educated, skilled workers can't find work in Nevada so they go elsewhere and businesses with high quality jobs want quality workers, which Nevada can't retain for a lack of quality jobs.
Nevada is a perfect storm of failure under conservative 'business friendly' policies which financially benefit those who allegedly are the 'job creators,' but leave the citizens in a 'unfriendly' job environment.

Dental X-rays are 2D images that highlight the bones and tooth anatomy in your mouth below the surface of your gums and enamel. There are two types of dental X-rays: film and digital. Digital is replacing film, as it has done in many other technologies, as it emits approximately 80% less radiation than film X-rays, is a quicker process and is easy to archive.
Dental X-rays can either be intra-oral X-rays, which involve taking the X-ray image from inside the mouth, or extra-oral X-rays, which are taken outside of the mouth, generally around the jaw area. Intra-oral X-rays show fine details in the teeth and their supporting bones that allow your dentist to identify cavities, tooth development, root health, and the tooth's anchoring to the jaw bone. Extra-oral X-rays focus more on the larger structural bones of your head, specifically your upper and lower jaw. These images help dentists identify issues such as impacted teeth, monitor jaw joint health and development, and see fractures or breaks clearly.
Dental X-rays are essential in helping dentists identify hidden tooth decay, plaque and tartar buildup, and potential root rot, among other things. Finding these issues as early as possible is essential in implementing an effective treatment plan that can get rid of them. Without dental X-rays, problems that are not immediately visible could go undiagnosed and could get progressively worse, leading to worse problems that are harder to treat and, in some cases, can be extremely threatening to your overall health.
If you are in good oral health and your dentist does not believe you have dental issues that need close monitoring, you will likely only receive a set of dental X-rays once every 24 to 36 months. That being said, each set of X-rays ordered by a dentist is done so on a case by case basis to ensure that you are receiving the dental care that's best for you. If you have dental issues such as, cavities, tooth root problems, gum disease, gingivitis, or concerns about your jaw, you will receive the number of dental X-rays that your dentist deems necessary to keep your oral health in tip-top shape.

A Magnetically controlled Mechanical Propeller for Immotile Sperm
Reporter and Curator: Dr. Sudipta Saha, Ph.D.
Researchers from the Institute for Integrative Nanosciences, IFW Dresden, Germany and Material Systems for Nanoelectronics, Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany have developed something known as the spermbot, a remotely controlled sperm movement controlling robot that could help create babies of the future. It is a magnetically powered robotic "suit" that can strap itself to individual sperm and help guide it faster towards the egg. According to the inventors all the initial tests with the spermbot have delivered promising results.
The purpose of the spermbot is to solve one of the widely talked about causes of infertility in men which is poor motility of sperm. Low sperm motility, or otherwise healthy sperm that just can't swim, can be a big factor in infertility. While the development of the spermbot is in its early stages, this is already being talked about as a promising alternative to existing popular techniques that are expensive and come with a high failure rate. These include methods like in-vitro fertilization and artificial insemination. Only 30 percent of the traditional "spray-and-pray" approach ends up with success, which warranted the need for an alternative procedure like the spermbot. According to the report, initial experiments show a marked increase in the probability of the spermbot-assisted sperm to reach its intended destination. The process of fertilization can be completed inside the body or in the lab, inside a petri-dish.
The spermbot is a coat of microscopic metal polymers shaped into a helix. It can attach itself to the tail of the spermatozoid, and then, using a hybrid micromotor, it can help propel the sperm faster towards the egg. The direction the sperm needs to take is controlled using a rotating magnetic field. In fact, even the motion of the sperm can be remote-controlled by simply adjusting this magnetic field. Once the spermbot propels the sperm towards the egg and the sperm manages to implant itself into the egg, the bionic part of the spermbot detaches itself from the tail.
While the initial experiments look promising, there is still some way to go before the spermbot technique is regularly used. To start off, scientists have very few sample size to correctly evaluate the results, and unless more comprehensive tests are carried out, it would not be possible to start using them on human subjects. Another major stumbling block is that there is currently no way to film the spermbot in action while it is moving inside the body. This also means that doctors would not be able to correctly direct it towards the egg. Another concern is the response of the body's own immune system to the spermbot. The use of the spermbot could trigger a reaction from the body's immune system, the results of which cannot be predicted without comprehensive clinical trials. The idea of the spermbot looks promising right now, but it is still too early to call it a replacement to the tried and tested methods like in-vitro fertilization and artificial insemination. In fact, it would take a few years for the procedure to be made available to patients if clinical trials are successfully completed.
