Classified FAIL - one bedroom apartment, great place to crash
Rich enough to own an apartment in one of Brooklyn's up and coming hipster neighbourhoods? You lucky blighter. Well, what better way to sell it to a potential new owner than with your window view across the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge! But wait! Why use a recent photograph to draw the punters in, when you can use one taken nine years ago in the aftermath of biggest ever terrorist attack on US soil? Isn't it pretty? Pity that smog hanging over downtown Manhattan ruins the shot:
The listing on the New York Times website has now been taken down. Odd that.

- CanonCan'tA clever bit of Photoshop recreating the aftermath of the WTC collapse? Well of course, that would be fine.... cock.
- kevit's not real, 9/11 was at 9am when it would have been bright, and all the dust/soke would have cleared by nightfall
- Alan S.@kev are you serious? 1 months after it, and there was still smoke coming out of the rubble.
- charitynjwPlane stupid!
- Paul S.@Kev - yeah, Alan's right - the dust hung around downtown Manhattan for weeks. There are plenty of nighttime images online taken after the attack.

Motorcycle Safety
Every year, over 2,500 motorcycles are involved in crashes on New Jersey roads. Many of these crashes are caused by the motorcyclist's inexperence and lack of training. In fact, 90% of riders who get into crashes have no formal training. They either taught themselves or learned from a friend. Don't make the same mistake - take a rider safety course certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. They're offered at over 15 locations in New Jersey.

Do you like bands combine folk music with modern elements? If your answer is yes, El Gueto Con Botas is a band for you. El Gueto Con Botas is a Sevilla, Spain based ska, fusion, folk music band. They combine Spanish and Andalusian folk elements with ska and related genres. I cannot say it is pure ska. It is Spanish folk music with modern rhythms. It was a good coincidence that I discovered the band and the band's hybrid sound. I have checked their website, but it is only in Spanish. I think the band should announce their music to world music stage. I like their flute oriented sound with a perfect female vocal.
El Gueto Con Botas consists of eight talented musicians that official lineup is David Ruiz, Fran del Moral, Antonio Montes, Manuel Jesus Lopez, Lucas Hidalgo, Sergio Mateo, Frankie Corrales, and Isaac Espinaco. The band also has a female vocal but I do not know why it is not placed in the website. They use wide range of instruments that the variety carries their music to the upper level. Flute is the main instrument of the band. Almost all songs contain excellent flute melodies with ska rhythms. There is nothing to say about musical diversity, because the band's sound is unique. I suggest the band extremely.
El Gueto Con Botas has only one album named in Flor de Frontera. I suggest the album extremely that the unique sound and flute oriented hot ska rhythms make you feel good. Noestare is my favorite song in the album. Hay duendes en el gueto, El amo de las bestias, La guerra no espera, Ahmed Ibn Jig, Para qué quiero yo más vivir, and Leprechaun Jig are the other beautiful songs. If you buy the album, you will never feel regret. You could buy Flor de Frontera album on amazon.com.
El Gueto Con Botas is one of the unique members of Spain's rich folk culture. If you like folk music with modern elements, if you like hot ska rhythms, if you like flute sound, do not lose the band. You could visit their website to listen to Flor de Frontera album. Although the website is in Spanish, you could access the album to listen. You also could visit the band's official profile pages on social networks to listen to their songs. I hope you will enjoy hearing the unique sound!
Bye for now!

Holding that when a single post was in the offering reserving it for specified backward classes would amount to hundred percent reservation and thus contrary to the intent of the constitutional framers, the Supreme Court in a recent decision [State of U.P. v. Bharat Singh] dismissed the appeal filed by the Government of Uttar Pradesh challenging the order of the Allahabad High Court. The High Court had set to naught the attempts of the State Government to provide reservation on the post of Principals in aided and affiliated Degree and Post-Graduate institutions.
The Court inter alia declared the legal position on this issue as under;
34. That brings us to the question whether similarity of the terms and conditions of the employees serving in the aided/affiliated colleges and the effect the payment of salary due to such teachers is reimbursed by the State Government would have the effect of creating a cadre of Principals. Our answer is in the negative. The fact that the State Government offers financial aid to the affiliated colleges in terms of payment of salary of those serving such institutions does not in our opinion have any relevance to the question whether the posts of Principals in different colleges under different managements constitute a cadre. Merely because the Government supports the institutions which are in all other respects autonomous in their functioning, and are managed by individual managements cannot by any stretch of reasoning be taken as a circumstance constituting the posts in such colleges into a single cadre. So also the fact that the terms and conditions of service of such teachers serving in different colleges including Principals are similar on account of such colleges being affiliated to the same university and being governed by the same set of Statutes, Rules and Regulations also does not have anything to do with the creation or the existence of a single cadre comprising such posts. There is no gainsaying that such common features do not in any way impinge upon the autonomous character of such institutions nor does payment of salaries and the similarity of conditions of service of the employees provide a test for holding that although serving in different institutions totally independent of each other the Principals appointed in such institution form a common cadre.
40. We may before referring to the decisions of this Court on the question whether a single post can be reserved, notice the decision of this Court in Balbir Kaur's case (supra) relied upon by Mr. Patwalia. That was also a case from the State of U.P. It related to appointment of a Principal under the U.P. Secondary Education Services Commission and Selection Boards Act, 1982. One of the questions that fell for consideration was whether the post of Principal in institutions offering secondary education was amenable to reservation having regard to the Reservation Act of 1994 referred above. This Court answered the question in the negative and gave two reasons in support of that conclusion. Firstly, the Court found that Section 10 of the U.P. Secondary Education Services Commission and Selection Boards Act, 1982 expressly excluded the post of Principal from the purview of the Reservation Act of the year 1994. Secondly and more importantly the post of Principal in an educational institution being a single post in the cadre such a post was held not amenable to reservation for any such reservation would amount to making a 100% reservation which was found impermissible under Articles 15 and 16 of the Constitution. Relying upon the decision of this Court in Dr. Chakradhar Paswan v. State of Bihar & Ors. (1988) 2 SCC 214 and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh v. Faculty Association & Ors. (1998) 4 SCC 1, this Court held that any reservation qua a single post cadre either directly or by the device of rotation of roster was not valid. The Court also held that since the Reservation Act, 1994 did not provide for clubbing of all the educational institutions in the State of U.P. for the purpose of reservation there is no question of clubbing the post of Principals in all the educational institutions for the purpose of applying the principles of reservation under the 1994 Act. The following passage is in this regard apposite:
"it was held that there cannot be any reservation in a single post cadre and the decisions to the contrary, upholding reservation in single post cadre either directly or by device of rotation of roster were not approved. Besides, as noted above, neither the principal Act, nor the Rules made thereunder or the 1994 Act provide for clubbing of all educational institutions in the State of U.P. for the purpose of reservation and, therefore, there is no question of clubbing the post of Principals in all the educational institutions for the purpose of applying the principle of reservation under the 1994 Act."
45. The decision of this Court in Indra Sawhney and Ors. v. Union of India and Ors., 1992 Supp.(3) SCC 217, continues to be the locus classicus on the subject of reservation. This Court in that case held that reservation under Articles 14, 15 and 16 must be applied in a manner so as to strike a balance between opportunities for the reserved classes on the one hand and other members of the community on the other. Such reservation cannot exceed 50% in order to be constitutionally valid.
46. In Chakradhan Paswan's case (supra) this Court relying upon the decision in Arati Ray Choudhury v. Union of India 1974 (1) SCC 87, M.R. Balaji v. State of Mysore AIR 1963 SC 649 and T. Devadasan v. Union of India AIR 1964 SC 179 held that separate posts in different institutions cannot be clubbed together for the purpose of reservation and that reservations may be made only where there are more than one posts. Reservation of only a single post in the cadre would amount to 100% reservation and thereby violate Articles 14(1) and 16(4) of the Constitution. In Bhide Girls Education Society v. Education Officer, Zila Parishad, Nagpur and Ors., 1993 Supp (3) SCC 527 this Court held that a single post of Headmistress of an institution could not be reserved as the same would amount to making a 100% reservation.
47. The controversy was authoritatively set at rest by the Constitution Bench decision of this Court in Post-graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh v. Faculty Association and Ors. (1998) 4 SCC 1 case (supra) where this Court overruled the decisions of this Court in Union of India and Anr. v. Madhav s/o Gajanan Chaubal and Anr. (1997) 2 SCC 332, Union of India v. Brij Lal Thakur (1997) 4 SCC 278 and State of Bihar v. Bageshwari Prasad 1995 Supp (1) SCC 432 and observed:
"34. In a single post cadre, reservation at any point of time on account of rotation of roster is bound to bring about a situation where such a single post in the cadre will be kept reserved exclusively for the members of the backward classes and in total exclusion of the general members of the public. Such total exclusion of general members of the public and cent per cent reservation for the backward classes is not permissible within the constitutional framework. The decisions of this Court to this effect over the decades have been consistent.
35. Hence, until there is plurality of posts in a cadre, the question of reservation will not arise because any attempt of reservation by whatever means and even with the device of rotation of roster in a single post cadre is bound to create 100% reservation of such post whenever such reservation is to be implemented. The device of rotation of roster in respect of single post cadre will only mean that on some occasions there will be complete reservation and the appointment to such post is kept out of bounds to the members of a large segment of the community who do not belong to any reserved class, but on some other occasions the post will be available for open competition when in fact on all such occasions, a single post cadre should have been filled only by open competition amongst all segments of the society."
48. In the light of the above decision, we have no hesitation in holding that the post of principals in each one of the aided/affiliated institution being a single post in the cadre is not amenable to any reservation. Question No.(ii) is accordingly answered in the affirmative.

Sorry for the delay, and even though I gave you a sneak peek in our save the dates, I thought it was a good time to talk about our engagement pictures! I've always loved looking at engagement pictures, and there was never a doubt in my mind that I wanted to take them once we got engaged. Monsieur P, however, needed a little convincing. He didn't understand the point of having engagement pictures, because we're not really big photo people. On the flip side, that was exactly why we needed them! You see, we aren't very good at taking pictures together… we rarely remember to even take snapshots, and we had absolutely ZERO professional photos that we have taken together, unless you count our photographer's second shooter taking a picture of us at friend V's wedding… which I didn't really count! I thought after 3 years together, we really should have SOME nice photos of us, dressed up, by an actual photographer instead of a grainy cell phone picture.
One of very few "nice" pictures of us, from Monsieur P's MBA graduation in 2011, with Parisian Mom. Still just a snapshot; also does not exist on paper, oops. We seriously suck at this stuff. (photo personal)
"But what the heck would we do with a bunch of pictures of us?" was Monsieur P's second argument.

Cities throughout the United States are taking innovative steps to try to eliminate traffic fatalities. Varying techniques are being employed, ranging from lowering speed limits to pushing non-vehicle transportation, in an effort to achieve "Vision Zero." Some of these plans are modeled after systems used in other countries that have been successful at achieving dramatically lower death rates than the United States.
While no fatalities of any motorist may be an unrealistic goal, it is still a good goal to set if it can focus lawmakers' attentions on the problem of motor vehicle deaths and if it leads to policies being put into place that make the roads safer. Anything that reduces the number of people killed in traffic accidents is a step in the right direction because fewer deaths means fewer families suffering tremendous financial and emotional loss.

Old Rock Day is an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate old rocks and fossils. Perhaps you can start a rock collection. You can go in search of fossils. You can read about rocks or, if you choose, you can just play with old rocks. Not only geologists like rocks. In fact, I'm starting the year off with a display of rocks in the library and all the associated books. Below are some of the books from that display, but you could go further and look at fossil fuels as well. If you do, don't forget Molly Bang and Penny Chisolm's wonderful book Buried Sunlight.

Putri Ular | Edisi Indonesia
Folklore from North Sumatra
Folklore from North Sumatra
ONCE upon a time in Simalungun, North Sumatra, there was a king with her beautiful daughter.
The princess was famous. Many young men admired her beauty.
One of the young men who fell in love with her was a prince from the neighboring kingdom. The prince came to Simalungun and talked to the king. He wanted to propose the princess.
Later, the king talked to his daughter about the wedding proposal. The princess was a very kind daughter. She did not want to disappoint her parents.
She knew her parents wanted her to accept the prince s wedding proposal. The king and the queen were happy.They were glad that finally their daughter planned to get married.
Then, a wedding ceremony was prepared. Everybody in the kingdom was busy. They all wanted to contribute to the wedding.
The princess was also busy preparing herself. One thing that she had to do was she had to take care of her body carefully. She wanted to look very beautiful during the wedding ceremony.
As always, the princess and her ladies-in-waiting were taking a bath in the pond inside the palace garden. The princess was so happy and she was playing around inside the pond. She was not careful and she accidentally slipped. Her nose hit a big stone and got bleeding. The ladies in-waiting immediately helped her.
When they could stop the bleeding, they were surprised. The princess nose was no longer beautiful.When the princess knew what happened, she was very sad. She was afraid that the prince would cancel the wedding.And if that really happened, the king would be very angry. The prince was very sorry, she was not careful in the pond.
However, it was too late. There was no use for her to regret what had happened.
The princess then prayed to God.
"I am not a good child, God. I cannot make my parents proud of me. Please punish me. I cannot live anymore. I don't want to see my parents being sad just because of me, prayed the princess. Amazingly, right after the princess finished praying, the princess slowly changed into a snake. It started from her legs and slowly to the upper body also changed. The ladies-in-waiting were shocked.
They went to the palace and reported to the king. When the king and the queen arrived at the pond, the princess had completely changed into a snake. The king and the queen were sad. They saw their only daughter had changed into a snake. The snake also looked very sad but she could not speak anymore.
Slowly, the snake went to the bushes and disappeared. The snake could not live in the palace anymore and could not change back as a human anymore. After all, that was her prayer to God. ***

Nifty Nappy was started by work at home mom, Vilate. However, Vilate stopped producing diapers for retail. Jeni of Red Barn Cloth Diapers has signed on to make and sell NN and working on Nifty Nappy products!
I also purchased a fitted diaper from Jeni. It's adorable! Compared to the Nifty Nappy Bitty Bums, it's a higher rise, so while GEM has grown out of his NN BB, his Red Barn NN BB still fits!
My little baby is a super soaker, always has been! When he would overflow the disposable newborn diapers in two hours, my Red Barn NN would be soaked, but un-leaky. Is that even a word?? LOL
The outside is a super soft--velour in the Later Gator print, but the inside is her characteristic red fleece. Sandwiched between the two is layer of hemp fleece. Also, a lay-in insert made of hemp fleece on one side and bamboo velour on the other side. It's made to be folded in half, so you get an extra four layers. The snaps are enough to get a tight fit on the smallest of babies!
We used it before GEM's umbilical cord fell off, and the rise sits just below it. Because it is a fitted diaper, it needs to be paired with a cover. I used some covers I had, but Red Barn also makes and sells Red Barn Nifty Nappy Woolies. I'm sure that would make the perfect combination!
I do like this diaper, it worked very well for us, but I just couldn't find the fitted love. It's nothing against this diaper, at all!
Jen is letting me hold a giveaway for a Bitty Bums fitted diaper. Go check out her Facebook page to stay up to date, and also her website to see what she's been up to! Then, come back and fill out this easy form for a chance to win!

The new stamps look fun Gay. I love the retro TV with the Tweedle and I'm quite taken with Cooee although he looks a tad bilious! The watercolour backdrop and script is lovely.

A Resident's Guide to: North Norfolk
Landscape designer Emily Erlam grew up in north Norfolk and returned five years ago to live in a daydream-worthy barn conversion by Rural Office for Architecture. She's shared her insider knowledge of the area with us, and revealed why she thinks north Norfolk is such a special place to live.
Cley Beach
"As a family we really use this beach, and it's beautiful all year round. I love how uncomplicated the horizon is; I think that simplicity is why I find it so uplifting. In the summer we swim here (actually, we swim here for a lot of the year … even if it's cold!), and there are often seals in the water."
Heydon Village Green
"This is special because it's such a uniquely communal space – as you would imagine traditional village life to be. There's a bakery on the green, Husk, which opened a few years ago. It's in an old blacksmiths shop, and it's kept the idea of fire being at the heart of the space. The owner makes the best wood-fired bread, and on a Friday night he makes pizzas. Every Friday families will get a pizza, grab a pint from the pub, and sit on the green together."
Wiveton Hall Cafe & Farm Shop, Holt
"Wiveton Cafe has unrivalled views of the marshes and is a fantastic place for lunch. The fresh local ingredients are elegant and simple. In summer they also do great dinners with music and a jolly atmosphere! You can pick fruit on the farm and walk around the walled garden, or if you're short on time the little shop sells everything freshly picked for you."
Picnic Fayre Deli & Cley Smokehouse, Cley-next-the-Sea
"Two more must-visit food stops, these are both award-winning and do what their names suggest beautifully!"
The Creake Plant Centre, Fakenham
"As a landscape designer, I can't recommend this place highly enough, no matter what you're looking for. Trevor, the owner, is really exceptional … I don't think there's anything garden-related he doesn't know. Even if I go there to buy for other people, I can never leave without buying something for myself, too."
The Gunton Arms & Deer Park, Thorpe Market
"One of the things I love about north Norfolk is that it's still so characterful; it's resisted the temptation to become London-ified! The Gunton Arms is a perfect example of that – it's just done its own thing so well. The food is by far the best in the area, and it has one of the best private art collections I've seen. There are pieces of British art literally everywhere, even in the toilets. The deer park surrounding it just adds to the atmosphere of the place."
Cromer Pier
"Cromer is a fantastic place for a walk, or a family day. The pier has the best fish and chips, and there's a beautiful ice cream shop. There's a great surf school in Cromer too, so our boys often go there for that."
Explore our Rural Retreats collection to see beautifully modern country houses for sale in north Norfolk and beyond.

Sequence of Bases – Raquel Echanique
Sequence of Bases, featuring "disordered portrait scenarios" by Raquel Echanique, runs at the Mooney Center Gallery from September 28 to October 21.
From the artist's statement:
I assemble disordered portrait scenarios that disturb almost as much as they comfort us. My subjects don't believe in gravity; they are lifted by strings that are often extensions of their own structure. Every part of their built faces seems to be knitted by a centrifugal force that enters the scene like a chaotic Prometheus.
My distinctive visual style is characterized by circular motioned brushwork that bursts polychromatic energy. My portraits are stirred up by swirls that pull, twine, divide and modify anatomy in different directions, resulting in a sight of hypnotic relaxation.
Muscles get knitted from underneath and over the skin to show fully constructed areas: eyes, nose and mouth.
I'm intrigued by the notion of narcissism, as I've explored in Ariel Looking into Mirrored Walls, we find a contemporary Narcissus who gets dazed by his own world of extravaganza. Paintings like Genevieve, Trademark with Target, and Red, show an out of the headlines appreciation for the spotlight they have decided to live with. Other works explore more aggressive and demanding gestures as titles like Kepler.
What is both challenging and refreshing are the ways in which I have prepared this cocktail of abstraction, representation and realism to approach to the psychological and aesthetic characteristic of the beings, while preserving shapes that can be found in their internal system.
I have mastered the art of blending spray and oil paint on canvas as my main medium. More than ever, I enjoy giving every stroke a very different direction with precision, to register them separately so that the viewer can unveil the clear canvas where the action emerges from.
Born in 1986 in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Raquel Echanique has displayed her work in numerous collective and solo exhibitions worldwide. The New York-based artist's special projects include the full illustration of the book "Descartes" launched by Ediciones de la Interperie in Buenos Aires, as well as a solo exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts Pedro Martinez in Argentina. Upcoming 2013 shows include Interbifep, The International Biennial of portrait in Bosnia and the show More is More at the Contemporary Art Museum CAC, in Ecuador. Raquel currently lives and works in New York.
There will be an opening reception from 12 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, September 29, which will be part of the New Rochelle Arts Fest, organized by the New Rochelle Council on the Arts. The event will also serve as the opening reception for the Castle Gallery show Debris Field

To insure dollars flowing to the coffers of Philippine military (including police), they have to show that the Philippines is under terrorist attacks. Their latest scenario was a plot of Muslim converts (so not just Moros anymore! ) to bomb the Black Nazarene procession in Quiapo.
The Black Nazarene procession is very dear to the hearts of Manilenos, especially Quiapo folks. The Moros had created a ghetto at the very heart of Quiapo and they know precisely the emotional attachments of the Nazarene devotees. As a rule, Moros and/or Muslims respect other people's religious feelings. The Moros have stayed in Quiapo since the 1960's and not once did they ever bomb or in any way disrupted the yearly Nazarene procession.
And now the bumbling Manila authorities arrested Muslims allegedly plotting to bomb the affair. If one were to disrupt the processions, there was no need to plot. A strong firecracker like a "Super Lolo" or "baby dynamite" could already create havoc in the very crowded and unruly Nazerene procession.
And they arrested a certain Afgani Alonto, a son of the late Senator Domocao Alonto.
They could not have arrested a more unlikely person. Unlike some members of his clan, this guy is unassuming, low-key and appears to be quite religious. But then, from the perspective of the West and the Philippine administration, anybody who religiously follows Islam is most likely to be a terrorist.
The Moros should better beware. Like the affluent Jews of Europe before, they thought they would not be touched by the Nazis. It was too late before they realized that rich or poor, the Nazis were out to get them. And so the Moro elites should start thinking that while the poor Moros have always been the easy pickings of the Philippine police/military, soon they will go after the rich ones, too. Alonto is just the first.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Is taking a combination of vitamins and supplements daily an unhealthy practice?"
I am a 20 woman with no extreme health conditions. I have been taking a combination of MSM, Biotin, DHA, and Acetyl L-Carnitine supplements regularly in addition to a daily Women's multivitamin. I occasionally take Ibuprofen for cramps. I recently began to wonder if this combination will have any negative effects on my health, or if my body could possibly become dependent upon them with further use.
Vitamins are a very important part of our overall health and nutrition. It is well known that vitamin deficiencies can be the cause of many diseases. However, vitamin toxicity is a phenomenon that can occur when people over use vitamin supplements. This is especially true for vitamins A, D, and E. I would imagine that you probably are not at toxic levels for these vitamins, but you are probably have more than enough. I suggest that you schedule an appointment with your primary care physician (such as a family doctor). Make sure to bring with you all of the supplements you are taking including vitamins and herbs (if any). He or she can go through them closely and calculate the amount of vitamins you are likely ingesting through pills and food. I am quite confident that you will have adequate amounts of all of the vitamins you mentioned in your question (unless you have some other condition that requires high dose vitamins). The only unknown is if you are nearing dangerous levels of any of them. In the mean time to be safe, I would suggest stopping any supplementation that was not prescribed by a doctor until you speak to your primary care physician. Good luck.

World War A... (What if Aliens attack Earth?)
People should know what to do if aliens attack. We have been sending welcoming messages into space for 110 years, through broadcasts of terrestrial radio and television. These transmissions have been traveling at the speed of light, in an ever-expanding sphere, the radius of which measures 110 light years. Our signals have already washed over more than 500 neighboring stars. What will first contact look like, and how should the people of Earth prepare for it?
Not long after today's astronomers began searching for planets around distant stars, they soon realized that every star is surrounded by planetary bodies of many varieties. One of the most common types of these exoplanets, is similar to Earth in size and composition and orbit, inside the fertile zone, which is neither too hot, nor too cold, but just right for the incubation of life. The nearest known exoplanet is Proxima Centauri B, only four light-years from Earth, in orbit around the star that is the nearest of our neighbors.
Our planet may not yet have been noticed by the nearest intelligent beings. We may have been heard or seen, but the alien race may be either unable, or unwilling to establish contact. Alien emmisaries may already be on their way to Earth... or they may already be here.
The United States military devised a protocol for approaching a newly discovered exoplanet, which is already occupied by an intelligent race. Surveillance would be followed by brief landings in isolated areas, to obtain plant and animal specimens, and to examine specimens of the intelligent beings themselves. Tentative approaches would be made, with our ships entering the alien atmosphere for short periods of time, with the intention of being seen by the largest number of inhabitants. The last phase would be to disclose our existence to the populace.
But what if they find us before we find them? What if they are hostile? In case of invasion by aliens, if you are prepared with supplies, stay in your home. But be ready to escape in an emergency, by knowing your potential evacuation routes, beforehand.
The targets of the attack will most likely be population centers. If you happen to be in a large city, you should leave in a hurry. A wilderness area would be an ideal destination, but if you are not prepared to go camping, at least travel to a smaller town. If along the way you must hide indoors, be sure that place has a separate exit, because you do not want to be trapped.
Never expose yourself intentionally. Do not go toward the spaceships. Do not approach the military, even if they are the troops of your own country. A soldier may fire his weapon at you by mistake, or he may have been ordered to shoot anything that moves. If you see a roving band of survivors, hide yourself immediately. They may be thieves, ready to take all your supplies, or they may prefer to eliminate any competition, such as yourself.
The best way to live through an alien invasion, is to be prepared for one. Water will be the mostn important item on your shopping list. Set aside fresh water supplies. Purchase a filter, for purification of water having unknown contaminants. Include soap. Bad hygiene leads to disease. Keep an evacuation kit in your car, in case you get stuck somewhere, or you have to make a very quick exit. Stockpile any medication you may need, against the day when medicine is no longer available at the corner pharmacy.
Get yourself some NBC gear. NBC was a United States military term, standing for nuclear, biological, or chemical threat. From face mask to respirator, from dosimeter to geiger counter, and from raincoat to hazmat suit, if you are not already prepared, this could be your last chance. NBC gear might may also protect you, from defensive measures taken by your own military, which are meant to be inflicted only upon the enemy from another world.

Number Three ~ March's Cross Stitch
Hmmmm ..... say no more!
Number Four ~ Chocolate orange cake
baked this morning in the wrong size tin
(I have just two cake tins which have not been packed away)
hence it's flatness
but I will never let it be said that I discriminate against cake.
I can hardly bear to mention the other
not so lovely
things that are also seeking my attention
The laundry basket
The ironing basket
Kitchen cupboard dismantling
The beds that need changing
The grubby bathroom

Thank you Thank you Thank you
I was so very touched by all the heartwarming comments on my last post

It seems there are quite a few of us out there
and I am in very good company indeed
Wishing you all a crafty and cake filled weekend

*read ALL the books on my Summer reading list
*organize the kitchen
*make the last two kits I purchased from Posie: Rosie Little Things
*sew a skirt
*start a quilt
*bike down to the ice cream parlor (and then eat some)
*art journal (I slacked off again)
*relax in the hammock at least once a week
*paint the dining room
*eat lots of grilled veggies from the farmer market
*watercolor (it's been a very, very long time)
This is my "Summer To Do" list. It's started off, well, not quite in the direction I had hoped for. But we'll see what happens.
What are your Summer plans?

Final Fantasy IV on sale for 30% off, FFV coming to Android Sept 26
Final Fantasy needs no introduction as one of the all-time greatest RPGs ever. The series has gone on and on endlessly on consoles, with Final Fantasy XV being announced this year. The shift to mobile has been slower, however, but that doesn't mean it's not a must-have game on your smartphone or tablet. And right now, it's on sale for 30% off. You're welcome.
Right now you can download Final Fantasy IV in the Google Play Store for $10.99 instead of the usual $15.99. So if you don't already have this installment of the epic masterpiece, now is the time to install. It's only for a limited time - one week only - and that week started a day or two ago. Square Enix is the developer behind the Android titles, and while they may be producing remakes of the original classics your dad used to play in the 80s and 90s (check out our top 10 classic games), there's nothing wrong with them at all. Heck, he'll probably want to play when you're not.
Final Fantasy V for Android is not far away either, with the developer just tweeting that the title will arrive on Android on September 26th – that's less than a week away people! It will probably cost around $18, but maybe a little less, so keep that in mind if you're about to spend your last few bucks on the fourth installment. In my opinion, these are two titles worth the money, so get on it and get retro!
What do you think of the Final Fantasy franchise?

The robe coats essentially come with no fastening, shapeless collars and wide sleeves. We have spotted numerous robe coats during the latest pre-fall and fall fashion weeks. The upcoming season comes with shapeless coats, which remind us of home robes as well as bathrobes. It's obvious, when you try on this piece, you already feel warmth, coziness and comfort. During the fashion shows many designers and brands showcased their own creations. Every piece which is shown below is highly practical and certainly cozy. The robe coat, is easy to wear, as we see various epic proportions, amazing fabrics and colors, including bold cobalt blue, camel, gray, olive green, pink, etc.
As we have already mentioned the loose cuts and heavy fabrics, then we think it's the right time to make a step further and show you the latest designers suggests.

How to Make a Volleyball Themed Bedroom
Whether your little one is aspiring to be a future volleyball player, or your teen is a member of a volleyball team, decorate her bedroom to illustrate her love of the game. A bedroom decorated with a volleyball theme is inspiring for the future or current athlete and allows her to showcase her personality through a sport she loves. With some decorative accessories and creativity, you can create a volleyball-themed haven.
Things You'll Need
- Paint
- Decorative accents
- Linens
- Locker
- Bench
Paint the walls in colors that match the hues of a favorite volleyball team. For example, if the colors of the preferred team are green and blue, paint two walls green and two walls blue. Create a striped effect to feature the colors on a focal wall and paint the remaining walls a neutral tone.
Blow up a large image of a volleyball team's logo and display it on the wall behind the bed. Blow up images of volleyballs and display them on the remaining walls of the space.
Display pictures of the room inhabitant playing the sport, or pictures of favorite volleyball players, in frames and set them out on tabletops, dressers and shelves. Install drawer pulls that resemble volleyballs on the dressers in the bedroom. Set out volleyball-themed decorative elements, such as statues of volleyball players, nets and actual volleyballs.
Place a white circular shaped throw rug at the foot of the bed, or next to the bed to resemble a volleyball. Bring in a locker to use as storage space and place a small bench in front of it to create the look of a locker room.
Display books related to the sport on bookshelves. Suspend volleyballs at alternating heights from the ceiling to add an unexpected, whimsical effect to the room.
Make the bed with a comforter that features images of volleyballs, or a comforter that's the same color of a preferred team. Set white, circular shaped throw pillows on top of the bed.

Elected officials and candidates participated Wednesday (July 2) in the Springdale parade that kicks off the annual Rodeo of the Ozarks.
Republican candidate for governor Asa Hutchinson walked in the parade, as did U.S. Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., and U.S. Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark. Journalist Julie Bagley attended the parade and submitted these photographs to 5NEWS.
Hutchinson faces Democrat Mike Ross in the Nov. 4 general election, while Cotton is attempting to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., in November.
The three-day rodeo is the largest outdoor rodeo in the world, according to its organizers. All of the rodeo's events are held at Parsons Stadium in Springdale.

As pit trading at the CME winds down, the Exchange has made a concerted effort to clarify any potential changes in procedures to calculating closing* prices. There are no changes to how housing contracts are closed, but I thought that I'd post a link both here and in the CME Resources section on the front page for anyone who wants a formal review. Net the process remains last trade, or a higher bid, or lower offer. As such, closes over the last few years of rising markets (and infrequent trades) have tended to inch higher as better bids are posted. Those who watch the contract prices closely might see sporadic bids in less-frequently traded contracts. Some of those quotes may have had the impact of raising closing prices and of keeping some sense of a "reasonable" forward curve.
I continue to focus on mid-market levels as a) a somewhat more neutral view of where the next trade might take place, and b) to notice the impact of changes to bids and offers – even if the close remains unchanged. Fortunately, with tighter bid/ask spreads, closes and mid-market levels have converged for many contracts out to Nov '17. Bid/ask spreads are wider (if two-sided markets exist at all) in longer-dated contracts so differences between close and mid might be more pronounced.
Finally, I put an asterisk by closes in the first line as prices are determined at 2PM (Chicago) even though the contracts stay open until 3. (The contracts used to close at 2 but I asked that the close be moved to coincide with the stock market close a few years ago.) While this is only a detail, it has some importance at expiration as the front contract stops trading an hour before the others.
Please feel free to contact me (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you have any questions, or ideas for future blogs.

Will the adaptor work with a JVC RBNV50 player
I own a JVC RB-NV50 Boomblaster which I use for dance classes. My husband has just bought me a nano ipod 7th generation. Unfortunately the JVC has a 30 pin ipod dock and a usb port but wont read the ipod using the usb port. Will it be able to read the ipod using the lightning to 30 pin adaptor?
1 Answer from the Community
I own JVC Boomblaster NB70 with 30pin Ipod dock. The lightning adapter didn't work with it - Ipod touch 5g wasn't recognized as IPod-device. Due to the adapter +new Ipod touch height you couldn't close the 'door' anymore.

Methadone withdrawal will be needed one way or another, after methadone upkeep or a pain management program making use of methadone has actually begun. If your feeling confined by having to go to a Hawley PA center or a drug store daily and undergoing heck if you wish to travel, there is a way out.
Methadone use produces a numb sensation to living, considerable stomach troubles as well as physical reliance that beats all others; that's the short list. All sort of various other health problems that methadone usage generated are uncovered once starting methadone withdrawal. I'll give you some response to assist right now, and also further remedies to deal with the issue to ending methadone dependency for life.
Methadone Use Is Epidemic
Addictions doctors and also discomfort administration centers in Pennsylvania are seriously recommending methadone for opiate misuse as well as persistent discomfort, but exactly what are the consequences of methadone use? I've listed numerous listed below. If you've already tried Methadone withdrawal as well as had issues, I've got some assistance you would not have actually found in other places.
Once it is time to begin methadone withdrawal, lots of people are having BIG problems finishing their methadone usage. Exactly how does one take out from methadone in Hawley Pennsylvania? What difficulties will they have to overcome?
Methadone Withdrawal Challenges
- Methadone use makes people unfeeling, numb
- Even stepping down from methadone can expose hyper sensitivity to discomfort and nutritional depletion symptoms — cramping, aches, nervousness, sleeplessness
- Methadone withdrawal is often 4 times longer and more difficult than heroin once the drug has been abused or used incorrectly for long periods of time
- Withdrawing from methadone can give pains and aches which people can mistake for stress and pain from past accidents
I'm creating for those having trouble with methadone withdrawal. If you are experiencing not a problem withdrawing from methadone, do not worry you're one of the fortunate ones.
The reality is that many addictions physicians and discomfort management professionals in Hawley are acting upon the recommendations from their peers as well as advisors. They are not told of the fatalities as a result of recommended methadone usage nor the problems that sometimes happen when withdrawing from methadone usage.
The concern sadly exists with the customer.
Vital: completely study medicines or medicines on your own before you acquire or take them. The impacts could be gruesome. They additionally may have harmful interactive effects when taken with various other medications.
Many otherwise all methadone results are triggered by nutritional deficiencies. Methadone usage creates dietary exhaustion – specifically calcium and also magnesium deficiency. An additional is B vitamin shortage. This is exactly how these shortages appear.

Methadone Withdrawal Symptoms
- Anxiety over sensations, pains and discomforts returning
- Sleeplessness
- Sneezing
- Cramping of legs and arms
- Bone aches
- Flu or dope sick
Methadone withdrawal will call for a great deal of extra dietary supplementation. That implies it's time to feed the body. Calcium and magnesium will aid with the constraining etc. Yet there will certainly be some trouble lots of will have taking their nutrients – a negative digestive tract.

A Poor Digestive tract
Methadone and also anxiety meds tend to ruin the digestive tract lining. A dripping intestine gives discomforts when eating or allergic reactions, prone to health issues and skin issues. An additional signs and symptom of a leaking intestine is irritation as well as a 'attitude problem'. The perspective can have physical reasons unspoken by the person.
A great idea to assisting the digestive tract trouble is eating great deals of high quality yogurt with online probiotics in it, like acidophilus and also bifidus. One could additionally supplement with big amounts of glutathione – an antioxidant to help the detoxification procedure.
The amount of nutrients needed throughout methadone withdrawal is undervalued so usually that I drink my head in marvel.
Drugs Like Methadone Are Contaminants
The problem with methadone is that it is harmful to the body. Your body recognizes it, however you might not. Taking methadone challenges your body organs to detox the body and also shield the crucial body organs before they are severely damaged.
Toxic substances give the body a difficult time. If you've seen drug users with dark circles under their eyes, gray skin, poor skin, hair befalling, reduced energy, strange ailments, etc. they're obtained dietary deficiencies. Those shortages are tough to recuperate from with food alone. Sometimes that food isn't being correctly digested = poor intestine.

Methadone Detoxification
Purifying the body is greater than simply quiting substance abuse. Substance abuse produces internal body damages you might not instantly acknowledge. Nonetheless, the body will aim to cleanse right after drug use and also recover itself making use of any kind of nutrients readily available. If the nutrients typically aren't offered, the body will borrow (swipe) them from the bones, nerves or other crucial features.
Some will require medical detox from methadone – the problem is that most Hawley methadone detox centers don't use nutritional supplements as part of their program. They just give more medications, and often not the right ones. The lack of full understanding on Methadone detox creates a brutal scene to withdraw from.
The Good News
The good news is that I've discovered the devices and also the detox facilities in PA that can beat methadone withdrawal smoothly and also easily.More:

1. If during a meeting a girl constantly looks into the phone or writes to someone, it is a sign of bad manners, contempt and lack of interest in you. If she is writing something in Instagram or social networks while you and an interpreter are trying to carry a conversation, you should know she is a shallow girl. Do not think that it is possible to have reliable relations with her. An exception may be some important calls. But she will explain what it is and will apologize for them.
If the next day, after the meeting, somebody from the Service calls you and says she liked you and she would like to continue the communication, you should not believe it. She has already shown you her true attitude on the first date.
2. If before ordering a woman discusses something with an interpreter and a waiter and then they immediately make an order, it's a sign she is going to break the bank you're your money. It decodes she is tactless and disrespectful. Therefore, it's up to you to lead the conversation in a way you both discuss a menu. If you do not want to break the bank, order seasonal dishes, ask about special offers and order wine, not cocktails.
3. If a girl came in jeans, sneakers, she is not ready for a first date. You should know she looks at you as a walking wallet. If a woman is interested in a person, she simply makes efforts to look good and respectful.
4. If a woman drinks a lot, it's a sign that she likes to party and hang out often.
Compare what you know about her and how she's behaving at the meeting, and you will understand if she told the truth at all. You will realize if she is family-oriented as it is written in her profile.
5. Pay attention to what she says. If all she is talking about is her appearance, it's a sign she is not smart and not knowledgeable. Perhaps all you can do with her is having sex.
Ask her about her life. If she says only bad things about everyone else, she won't think fondly of you after a while either.
6. Be on the lookout on how she treats others. Look at the way she treats waiters and the interpreter helping her to understand you. You need to find out if she is abusive or sensitive.
7. If she acts frivolously and unrestrainedly, she has no values. Ask her to be specific about her values. If she focuses on things that are purely shallow, like fame and wealth, chances are she won't stick it out through the bad time in life with anyone.
Ask her about her values in a way she does not feel like being asked with purpose.
Listen very closely when she speaks, because most people give away their personalities very quickly without realizing it.
The first date will speak volume about the girl you're going to see. These simple tips will help you to understand the potential of your relationships.

NBC has just released this promotional still from next Monday's episode of "Heroes," in which Claire (Hayden Panettiere) waterskis over a shark kisses Gretchen, played by Madeline Zima (Zima: it's not just for getting teenagers drunk any more). Finally. I don't watch "Heroes" and don't find Hayden particularly attractive, and yet somehow, this has been a story since June.
In other sexually adventurous news, the November 9th episode of "Gossip Girl" will feature a threesome. Not exactly life-changing news unless it's me with Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, but you absolutely HAVE to read the way that Michael Ausiello broke the news:
Attention, Upper East Siders: OMFGWTFHOLLA!
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Gossip Girl's Nov. 9 episode will feature three major characters having sex. At the same time. In the same bed. Together.
And I repeat: OMFHWTFHOLLA!

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — It will be a busy Monday as the City and School District respond to the recent spate of school violence.
New Rochelle High School will hold a series of student assemblies on Monday. This will also be a half day of school.
A controlled access posture will continue to remain in effect for the immediate future. This means that students will be prohibited from leaving the school building for lunch and free periods. While in this posture, students will not have access to the fields or exterior areas of the campus. There will also be limited points of entry to school buildings.
The assemblies will be in the Whitney Young Auditorium. Eleventh-grade students will report during first and second periods (8:15-9:07); 12th-grade students, third and fourth periods (9:11-10:03); ninth-grade students, fifth and sixth periods (10:07-10:59) and 10th-grade students, seventh and eighth periods (11:03-11:55).
Principal Reggie Richardson will review with students the updated safety protocols and procedures, including an explanation of controlled access, the police presence on campus and hall sweeps. He will also report some very creative ideas from a thoughtful and productive meeting with student leaders last Friday. Topics will include creating videos with positive depictions of the school; developing a peer mediation/conflict resolution program; and a campus-wide campaign for kindness.
He will also describe available locations for students to go during free or lunch periods. The school is making the Whitney Young Auditorium available to students during free or lunch periods, periods 4, 5 and 6. Students can do homework, talk to friends, listen to music with headphones or just relax. There will be sufficient staff on hand to supervise activities in the Whitney.
Students can also spend their periods in the cafeteria or the library (there is a maximum occupancy of 100 students). Some teachers offer extra help sessions in their classrooms during these periods.
Superintendent's Day at New Rochelle High School will include a First Aid Session called "Stop the Bleed Training"
DHS Website: Stop the Bleed
Launched in October of 2015 by the White House, Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign and a call to action. Stop the Bleed is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.
No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene. A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss. Those nearest to someone with life threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care. According to a recent National Academies of Science study, trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under age 46.
There will also be NARCAN training on how to deal with opioid overdoes and a Department of Health Meeting.
City of New Rochelle Officials are holding a North Avenue Business Roundtable on Monday, January 29 at Gemelli Pizza at 752 North Avenue in New Rochelle. There will be a media availability at 11:45 a.m.
The City of New Rochelle will host a roundtable with business owners in the North Avenue corridor. The meeting is closed to the media, but following the roundtable, City Officials will hold a media availability to discuss the immediate and long-term response to recent violent events involving students at New Rochelle High School.
New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson, Councilmember Jared Rice, City Manager Chuck Strome and North Avenue Business Owners will participate.

We all know how technology enables communication – email, voicemail, text message, instant message, Twitter . . . the list goes on. There are more than enough ways to communicate, and too often they add up to message overload for employees.
That's why when something is important, nothing compares to face-to-face communication. When a leader needs to inspire people—or move them to action—the best way to do it is to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what they need to know.
Communicating face-to-face sends a message before you say a word. People will not only hear what you are saying, they will perceive the greater meaning of your tone, voice inflection, emotion and body language.
Here are six good reasons for leaders to make the time to communicate face to face:
Demonstrate importance
Being there in person tells your audience they are important to you and the issue you are discussing is worth your time and theirs. Your focus will get people's attention and increase the potential for your message to be heard.
Interpret thoughts and feelings
When you are face to face, you can see and respond to people's reactions – like facial expressions and body language – as well as their tone of voice. Leaders have the chance to show they care by asking probing questions and actively listening to understand the audience's perspective. This is especially critical when you need employees to adopt new behaviors to advance your goals, such as in times of change.
Enhance credibility and trust
Leaders need to build employee trust to be effective. Face-to-face interaction allows you to share your strategy, explain it clearly, and answer questions honestly. Employees see how actions align with words, which enhances leaders' credibility and trust.
Build relationships
Interacting directly with other leaders, managers and employees expands your network and establishes shared experience that can enhance future communication. It also helps create camaraderie that is the basis of cooperation and success across the organization.
Gather feedback
Meeting in person helps employees feel valued and gives them a chance to contribute input to organizational strategies and communication. It gives the leader a chance to confirm people's understanding of key issues, identify gaps and encourage ongoing feedback and engagement.
Address sensitive issues
Finally, one of the biggest benefits of face-to-face communication is demonstrating respect for employees and a commitment to a successful outcome when you deal with a sensitive issue face to face. Whether you are providing specific feedback to increase their success or delivering a tough message, focus on your desired outcome and prepare by understanding the employee's mindset and possible reactions. Ultimately your involvement means a lot and taking the time to meet can help turn a challenging conversation into a trust-building interaction.
What important or challenging issue in your organization should be handled face to face?

COSTA MESA — When Cameron Merage was a 22-year-old Sacramento State University graduate, he told a professor that he wanted to go into development.
"He told me, 'You're too young to do development, why don't you go into the sale of real estate?'" said Merage, chief executive officer of First Team Real Estate, which recently opened new locations in Beverly Hills, Marina del Ray, Pasadena, Westlake and San Diego. "I asked him where, and he said that Newport Beach is the hottest market in the U.S."
Rather than Newport Beach, Merage opened a Century 21 franchise in 1976 in Huntington Beach.
"I packed up a U-Haul and drove myself over here," said Merage.
The office grew and, in 1985, changed over to First Team Real Estate.
"We were paying tremendous franchise dollars," said Vice President of Production Chuck Grant, who served as the office's first manager. "Cam's idea was rather we should be investing that money into our own marketing to build value to the client."

sneaks (Nike, eBay), sweater (LOFT on SALE), denim (Paige see SIMILAR), bag (Clare V), scarf (HM), shades (Ray Ban)
Sure, 'tis the season for giving, but how 'bout 'tis the season for giving to yourself? I have to admit, while I'm busy snagging goodies for the fam and friends in my life, I always just so happen to sneak in a few treats for myself. So remember this post, where I chatted up how great eBay is for getting holiday goodies for your crew? Let's not discount how fab eBay is for gifting yourself some holiday goodness. Case in point: these Nike high-tops I've been on a mad hunt for. I spotted them at one of my local joints here in town; however, they didn't have my size. No store did, for that matter. Then it occurred to me to practice what I preach and try to score them on eBay—and, well, the rest is history. Y'all know I love a good sneak, and these babes don't disappoint. AND, bonus, they're less than what I spotted them for in the store—as are the Vince heels I'm about to snag from eBay! Next on my Xmas list for myself is a clutch for NYE. I've had my eye on a few Kate Spade ones, and eBay has a handful I'm clocking (fingers crossed I win my bid)! I've got my girlfriend here in Lexington to thank for my newfound eBay addiction—she's landed the BEST stuff, and it seems now I'm following in her footsteps!
Alright gang, cheers to a lovely Sunday! We've got Xmas celebrations with our Lexington family before we head down to FLA this week to spend the holidays with my folks. Make it a great one today!
