In honor of Thanksgiving, I am posting the grave of Louis Samuel Fuller, descendant of pilgrim Edward Fuller. Louis was born in Colebrook, Ashtabula County, Ohio, the son of Samuel and Grace (Bently) Fuller. His tombstone gives his date of birth as 1 April 1860, while his death certificate lists it as 1 April 1859. The 1860 census in Colebrook lists his age as 1/12, making the 1860 date more likely. Louis was appointed the pastor of Winchester Methodist Church in 1901. He died in Columbus on 29 April 1928 and is buried in Union Grove Cemetery, Canal Winchester, Franklin County.

Gum Disease and Gingivitis
Periodontal disease is a serious gum infection that can lead to tooth loss and contribute to systemic conditions within the body. This chronic bacterial infection affects the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, it can attack one tooth or many teeth and develops when the bacteria in plaque causes the gums to become inflamed.
Gingivitis is usually the first sign that you are having problems in maintaining an effective oral hygiene routine. Your gums may be red and swollen and they will bleed easily. There is usually little or no discomfort with gingivitis but the bleeding is very obvious when you brush. Gingivitis is reversible with professional treatment and effective at home care.
Untreated gingivitis can rapidly advance to Periodontitis. With time, plaque can spread below the gum line and toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque will irritate the gums. The body reacts with an inflammatory response causing the tissues and bone to be broken down and destroyed. Gums separate from the teeth, forming gum pockets. As the disease progresses, the pockets deepen and more gum tissue and bone are destroyed by the infection process. Often, this destruction has very mild symptoms but eventually your teeth can become loose and may have to be removed.
Gum disease is a very serious condition and its presence has been linked to many systemic conditions including heart disease and diabetes. If you feel that you may be suffering from gum disease you should contact us for an appointment immediately.

Press release: Study regarding communication and collaboration solutions – sustainability is not yet a central topic
International companies face major challenges when it comes to communication, both between their own sites and with customers and partners from around the world. Together with its scientific partner, the iimt (international institute of management in technology) of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, Swisscom examined in a study how these companies use communication and collaboration solutions.
«Successful international collaboration is a key factor for sustainable added value in this globalised world,» says Prof. Dr. Stephanie Teufel from iimt. The study shows that telephone conference solutions are now standard for international collaboration and are one of the key communications instruments for collaboration across borders. Furthermore, around two thirds of those surveyed also use web or videoconference solutions. Flipcharts are now rarely used.
Significant differences can be seen when looking at usage according to branches. The service sector has a pioneering role in all categories. The assumption that the IT industry has a high affinity for communication and collaboration solutions is confirmed. It stands out, above all, for applications that intervene in business processes (customer services, customer consulting, maintenance work). When it comes to management meetings and virtual project/partner communications, on the other hand, this industry is below average. All industries use communications and collaboration solutions least frequently in the area of customer services.
Small companies with fewer than 100 employees and companies with 1,000 to 2,499 employees use the new communications solutions most frequently and were above average for eight out of nine of the solutions surveyed. In addition, small companies with fewer than 100 employees use communications and collaboration solutions to an above-average extent in the fields of maintenance work and customer services. Companies with more than 1,000 employees, by contrast, use these solutions to an above-average extent for access to expert knowledge.
Sustainability aspects are not yet a focus
Regardless of the industry and company size, the majority of those surveyed see the benefits of communications and collaboration solutions in the reduction of costs, increased productivity and acceleration of work processes. Sustainability aspects are not a focus. All industries see the least benefits in this area. This is particularly evident in the retail and manufacturing industries.
|The Global Study
The Global Study focuses on companies that have international sites but whose main office is located in Switzerland. The study was carried out using 946 digital questionnaires and six one-to-one interviews. This resulted in 128 usable data sets.

If you've been paying attention over the past year or so, you might remember that Intel released quad-core Nehalem-derived mobile CPUs before their dual-core siblings. Those only followed in early 2010 after the shrink to 32 nm. Intel's next-gen Sandy Bridge processors will be 32-nm parts from the start, but according to CNet News, the chipmaker is nevertheless planning a similar two-stage rollout, with quad-core parts to hit stores first.
The site says Intel revealed at a "recent investor conference" that the quad-core mobile Sandy Bridge part will launch at the Consumer Electronics Show on January 5, while "more mainstream" dual-core parts will follow at a later date. A less-official industry source elaborated on the latter point, telling CNet News the mobile dual-core Sandy Bridge chips are due in mid-February—and that Intel is forbidding PC makers from discussing them publicly.
Now, keep in mind that the chips coming in January will be Intel's first 32-nm quad-core mobile parts. Most likely, power efficiency will be better than with Clarksfield, Intel's current quad-core design for notebooks, which is still fabbed on a 45-nm process. I'm not holding my breath for quad-core Sandy Bridge notebooks with the same kind of battery life and form factors as today's Core i3 and Core i5 laptops, though.

Blessed Feast of Precious Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ
July 1 is the Solemnity of the "Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
The entire month of July is dedicated to The Precious Blood of Jesus.
The Blood that coursed through the veins of Christ was a part of that Sacred Humanity made possible by the maternity of Mary, whose parents, St. Joachim and St. Anne are honored this month. (July 26). Our Lord's blood poured out on the Cross purchased our salvation, washed clean the robes of the martyrs, and gave birth to the Church as it flowed from his wounded side. The Precious Blood of Christ — now pulsing through his Mystical Body — continues its salvific work, preserving and purifying, repairing and providing nourishment for regeneration and renewal of its members.
The Blood of Christ is precious because it is Christ's own great ransom paid for the redemption of mankind. As there was to be no remission of sin without the shedding of blood, the Incarnate Word not only offered His life for the salvation of the world, but he offered to give up His life by a bloody death, and to hang bloodless, soulless and dead upon the Cross for the salvation of men. There, upon the Cross, He atoned for every form of human sin. "God was indeed Christ, reconciling the world to Himself." He shed His Precious Blood for all - for Jew and Gentile, for heathen and Christian, for Turk and heretic, for the infidel and all unbelievers. In that Blood of Jesus our sins have shed, which is at the same time the price of our redemption.
The feast of the Precious Blood is a call to repentance and reparation. It was shed that sinners might be forgiven, that they might live and not die; that they might live unto Him "in Whom we have redemption through His Blood, the remission of sins."
I found this passage in the oldest document, outside of sacred scripture, from the first century of the Christian era – to be exact, from Pope St. Clement I, dated about 96 A.D. Says Pope Clement: "Let us fix our gaze on the Blood of Christ and realize how truly precious It is, seeing that it was poured out for our salvation and brought the grace of conversion to the whole world."
To understand the meaning of the Precious Blood we must get some comprehension of the gravity of sin, of the awfulness of offending God, because it required the Blood of the Son of God to forgive that sin. We are living in an age in which to sin has become fashionable.
This veneration of the Precious Blood, which is the first element in our devotion to the Precious Blood means that we have a deep sensitivity to the awfulness of sin. Sin must be terrible. It must be awful. It must be the most dreadful thing in the universe. Why? Because it cost the living God in human form the shedding of His Blood.
Lord Jesus, You became Man in order by your Passion and Death and the draining of your Blood on the Cross, might prove to us how much You, our God, love us. Protect us, dear Jesus, from ever running away from the sight of blood. Strengthen our weak human wills so that we will not only not run away from the cross, but welcome every opportunity to shed our blood in spirit in union with your Precious Blood, so that, dying to ourselves in time we might live with You in Eternity. Amen

Let us always remember the Poor Souls
Eternal Father, I offer You the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, for those in my own home and in my family. Amen
Prayer for the Conversion of Scandinavia
300 Days, once a day. (See Instructions.) 54 Leo XIII, April 18, 1885.
O good Jesus , prostrate at Thy feet, we humbly implore Thee, by thy most Sacred Wounds and by the Precious Blood which Thou didst shed for the salvation of the whole world, that Thou wouldst deign to cast a look of pity on the peoples of Scandinavia, seduced from the Faith for so many centuries, and plunged in the darkness of heresy, separated from thy Church, deprived of the participation of the adorable Sacrament of thy Body and Blood, and of the other sacraments instituted by Thee, as the refuge of souls in life and in death.
Remember, O Redeemer of the world, that for these souls too Thou didst suffer bitter death, with the loss of all thy blood. Bring back, O good Shepherd, these wandering sheep ofthine to the one fold and to the healthy pastures of thy Church, so that they may form with us one flock , tended by Thee, and by thy Vicar on earth, the supreme Pontiff, whom, in the person of the Apostle St Peter, Thou didst commission to feed thy sheep and thy lambs. Graciously hear, O good Jesus, the prayers which we offer Thee with the most lively trust in the love of thy Sacred Heart, and to thy most Holy Name be praise, glory, and honor, world without end. Amen.

The Los Angeles federal judge who found county officials in criminal contempt three months ago because of overcrowded conditions at the Orange County Jail will visit the jail Wednesday to see what improvements have been made.
U.S. District Judge William P. Gray has also set a hearing June 24 in Los Angeles on the overcrowding issue, "so we can see where we go from here," he told attorneys involved.
Deputy County Counsel Edward Duran said Monday he thinks there is a good chance that by the time of the hearing the county can fully comply with Gray's order that no inmates at the men's jail in downtown Santa Ana be forced to sleep on the floor because of overcrowding.
Orange County Sheriff Brad Gates two weeks ago transferred 100 inmates from the main jail to the Theo Lacy branch jail in Orange. He has reduced the jail population by another 100 by refusing to house federal and state prisoners for more than short periods.

If you've just gone through or are currently going through menopause, and everything is normal aside from how you feel, we're here to help. Many providers treat menopause care with a one-size-fits-all approach that may not take your unique needs into consideration. If you've been prescribed synthetic hormones and they don't seem to be working right, or if you want to explore alternative options, we'll work with you to get you feeling better quickly.
Many providers use synthetic hormones for menopause treatment. At Abundant Life Health Care, we offer an alternative approach. Our bio-identical hormones, which are compounded at a local pharmacy, reflect the exact same molecular structure as the hormones your body makes. This allows your body to use its natural processes to correct the imbalance you may be experiencing.
Though hot flashes are the hallmark of menopause, in reality, your symptoms may be as subtle as tossing and turning at night or a persistent feeling of low energy through your normal activities. Common symptoms can include:
When you walk into Abundant Life Health Care, you're treated as a person, not just a patient. We've designed our office to be a relaxed environment that looks nothing like your typical doctor's office, and don't prescribe to the typical rush in, rush out method of scheduling appointments. We take time to get to know you, your lifestyle, and how you're feeling so that your care is just as unique as you are.
This attention to details extends to how we test your hormone levels as well. Most providers use blood hormone testing which, depending on the time of day your test is done and the phase of your menstrual cycle, can make poor hormone levels look normal. About half of all the estrogen in your body is produced in glands, and hormones that aren't produced in this way don't even end up in your bloodstream! We use saliva testing instead, which is not only more comfortable for you, but allows us to capture a complete picture of the hormone levels in your body, even as they change throughout the day.
We don't believe in putting you through rounds of expensive testing before you even get a prescription. With over a decade of experience treating menopause, we're often able to give you a prescription that can start you on the road to well being with your very first visit. After a few months, we'll have worked with you to create a prescription and lifestyle regimen that gives you your life back. Our approach doesn't mask symptoms - it puts you on a path to true health that you can truly sustain.
Give us a call today at 208-433-9188 or use our form to request more information. We're looking forward to working with you to get your healthcare on the right track!

Much Ado About Nothing - Benedick and Beatrice
Benedick and Beatrice have close connections in the play, Benedick is portrayed to be a staunch bachelor, whereas Beatrice a combative character, also ironically, due to this being set in the Renaissance era, outspoken. Benedick is seen as very misogynistic.
Benedick is portrayed as a misogynistic character to the audience; this is presented on multiple occasions. Benedick inquires if Claudio would, "Buy" Hero. The verb "Buy" suggests that women were seen as objects in the Renaissance era. Claudio responds to Benedick, "Can the world buy such a jewel?" Benedick's response also backs up the point that women were seen to be commodities in his view as he declares you can indeed buy her, "and a case to put [her] it in". The noun "case" shows us that Benedick's views are presented to the audience about his misogynistic sentiment. Benedick states that all women shall, "Pardon" him. He will do himself, "the right to trust none" explaining that he doesn't trust women.
Beatrice is presented to the audience as being a very witty character, this is shown at the 'masked ball' where Beatrice pretends she doesn't realise that the man in the mask is Benedick. Beatrice's crude comments towards Benedick such as he is the, "Prince's jester, a very dull fool", Incorporating a sardonic tone in order to incorporate excess agony for Benedick.
Benedick is presented as a character that staunchly defends his decision to remain single, claiming he "will live a bachelor" forever. We can tell from the modal verb 'will' that he is in attempt to avoid women at all costs. Benedick's explanation of a perfect women being, "fair…virtuous… rich… mild" is impossibly perfect, presenting him as not wanting a wife due to the fact there was no women with all these attributes in the Renaissance era therefore his status as a single man, a bachelor would remain unchallenged.
Beatrice is...

Hisashi Igou (井豪永, Igō Hisashi) was a student at Fujimi High School and Rei Miyamoto's boyfriend. He, along with Rei and Takashi Komuro, was one of the first to try and escape the rampage at the high school. He is also credited by Rei and Takashi as being the first to name the undead "them".
AboutHisashi is a second-year student at Fujimi High School. He is Rei's boyfriend and friends with Takashi, and he is classmates with both of them. He has a black belt in karate, so he chooses to fight "them" with no weapons, which ultimately leads to his death. He is the first one at the high school refer to the undead as "them", since he realized that "they" could no longer be considered human.
Hisashi has gray hair and brown eyes. He is only ever seen wearing the standard Fujimi High School male student uniform.
Little is known about Hisashi's past. It is revealed early on that he was in the same class as Takashi during the school year prior to that of the main story. As well, after Rei and Takashi escape the school roof by clearing away "them" with a nearby fire hose, it is made apparent that Hisashi had known Rei and Takashi for many years, when Rei mentions an event that had occurred in middle school during a fire alarm (thought the event in question was never directly stated). He was also present in a flashback of Takashi's when he relates his stay at the Takagi estate as being similar to "Mutiny on the Bounty". According to photos during the ending credits of the anime, Hisashi and Takashi sat together during lunch at Fujimi Academy. When he was dating Rei, they passed by a female reporter while she made the peace sign, looking confused. He and Takashi went to a pool when they were in middle school.
Hisashi is usually very calm and collected and able to keep a clear mind in situations where others would panic. He truly cares for Rei, and he is also very loyal to Takashi, which is shown when he believes his story of what happened at the gate without hesitation, while Rei remains skeptical. Even when Takashi hits Rei when they are in the classroom, rather than getting angry, Hisashi understands that Takashi is serious and goes with him.
Hisashi is Rei's classmate and boyfriend, he, Takashi, and Rei were among the first to try and escape the chaos at the school. Upon hearing Takashi's report, he told Takashi and Rei to pick up some weapons (broomsticks) to fight "them". He chose to fight against "them" without weapons since he has a blackbelt in Karate. On their way out of class he was bitten by an infected teacher and subsequently turned into one of "them" afterwards. Aware of his fate he instructed Takashi to kill him before he became one of "them" by throwing him off the rooftop of the school building, but died before Takashi could do so, and rose back up as one of "them". Takashi then gathers himself together and takes down Hisashi permanently. The two leave his body on the roof top. A brief bitterness between Rei and Takashi occurred as a result from his death.
Killed Victims
- Two of "Them".
- Hisashi plays the part of the best friend of the main protagonist who is bitten, infected, and turns into a zombie. The protagonist is then forced to kill the zombified friend. This theme is present in nearly all zombie-related stories and media.
- In Chapters 21 and 29 Saya and Saeko bring up something little about the plot and due to this both Takashi and Rei get shocked faces with a faint picture of Hisashi in the background thus supposing that neither Rei nor Takashi have fully gotten over his death.

This year for Halloween, my son gets to be Superman! This was kind of a last-minute thing, but I lucked out and found the perfect shade of blue knit at Wal-mart of all places. The red fabric came from my stash, and the yellow was left over from these skirts.
We tried combing his hair like Superman, but this little guy's hair does what it wants, so just pretend he has hair like Clark Kent.
I used yellow and red felt for the Superman logo. I found the stencil template here.
The shirt and pants I made with the Winter PJs. The underwear I made with the pattern from The Red Kitchen. I added a really thick waistband (the yellow part) for the belt. I made some belt loops and looped them around the waistband before attaching it. It only goes up to size 6, so I had to grade up to make the undies big enough to wear on the outside of his pants.
For the cape, I just kind of freehanded it, and it worked out nicely. I cut the back to match the back neckline of the PJs, then basted the cape to the back neckline of the the PJs, and sewed like normal. Now we don't have to worry about reattaching it all night long!
Any other Supermans out there this year?

|Me and my babies.
The entire weekend was full of good things: time with the kids, time to myself, fun with family. We started it out right with time in the backyard in the gorgeous weather. Getting out on Friday always makes the weekend seem longer.
|For early May it was incredibly hot!
|Ice cream!
I didn't have to cook dinner Saturday or Sunday, which is just perfect. And Sunday morning I was treated to breakfast in bed, homemade gifts from the kids, and a new spin bike! I'm excited to get some exercise without leaving the house (not always possible with the kids) and watching tv while I spin.
|Spinning and my dance show.
For my mom, we got a tricky puzzle and some flowers. For Jon's mom, we got her one of those fancy adult colouring books with pencil crayons and markers.

Throughout the early stages of his career, Samir Nasri was touted as the next Zinedine Zidane despite being at the young age of 17. Now, the problem with labelling a player as good as the current world's best player or a national icon, is that often that player will never complete that particular self-fulfilling prophecy. As a matter of fact, the player almost always go on to shape their own careers in a very different and unique way, some achieving success and some failing to meet the demands that the most elitist of football players require in order to attain a 'god-like' status, for example Zinedine Zidane. It is down to opinion whether Nasri is or will be as good as Zidane, but I certainly do not agree with the idea that Nasri 'hasn't been up to it' this season or 'hasn't contributed as much as he should'.
After Arsenal signed Nasri in 2008 as a direct replacement for Alexander Hleb he quickly rose to the standard and style of football that is played at Arsenal. A passing game whereby the next player is always looking for a pass either to a team mate or into space, often resulting in a beautiful attacking move that is not only graceful on the eye but as lethal as it is flawless to look at.
However, it all turned sour when Nasri came out with the following statement:
"It is annoying. The work we do is not getting the credit it deserves because we are not winning silverware. It is unfair because I think we have more merit as a club than those who have built their teams with millions of pounds whereas Arsenal have brought in young footballers, who have come here to play a certain kind of football and who have developed." This was Nasri speaking about Arsenal's trophy drought, April 2010.
The seeds of doubt were first sewn through frustration of not being able to win trophies at Arsenal, although it appears all Arsenal footballers have been media trained to say something similar to the above about how bitter the club feels towards heavy and immediate investment in Premier League clubs. Although we know this is false after the £50 Million spent after Arsene Wenger's arrival, signing the likes of Marc Overmars, Emmanuel Petit, Patrick Vieira and Nicolas Anelka.
Whether Arsenal fans like it or not, Nasri made a great impact at Arsenal and the stats are there to prove it:
Appearances: 79 starts, 3 sub appearances
Goals: 18
Shots: 159
Assists: 5
Pass completion: 87%
Moving to City wasn't a decision it appears Nasri took lightly as there were talks of him having discussions with Manchester United for a lengthy time before news broke of our involvement. Samir had clearly had enough of the Emirates with both Manchester clubs looking for his signature, it hardly suggests that he simply left just for money when you look at the league table at Christmas and see the both clubs that were gunning for his signature 1st and 2nd respectively. The League Cup upset against Birmingham in February must have been the beginning of Nasri tilting his head toward the exit door and contemplating his future.
At City Nasri has found his first team opportunities slightly restricted because of the strength in depth and quality City have this season. However, this isn't to deter from the fact that the player hasn't contributed in great lengths to the success of the first half of the season.
It's no coincidence that Nasri had his best two games for City this season in the two of the biggest away victories of the season against Blackburn (1 goal, 2 assists) and Tottenham Hotspur (3 assists) to illustrate that when playing in the side how effective and clinical he can be.
The slight mention of him not performing this season is clearly the work of individuals who have yet to find an unmentioned or undocumented player who hasn't shone brightly enough to earn the plaudits of pundits, whether it's television, radio or newspaper. The proof is in the pudding in Nasri's first half season with the blues, complementing an average of 48 passes per game and a successful 93% pass completion statistic. Considering Nasri is an attacking midfielder, this shows how much a precise and intelligent player he is.
This creativity and intuition is then reinforced through the concept of 'key passes' in which a player has set up a goal scoring opportunity (according to @OptaJoe) from a pass. Nasri this season has made 26 keys passes and had 7 assists in the Premier League, hardly the type of form a 'flop' would be showing. He sits behind Mata and Nani before his team mate Silva sits on top of the creative list so far this season.
Perhaps the ridiculous claims made by the media that Nasri after half a season of being at City is a 'flop' is only because his fellow midfield creative genius that plays alongside him is currently one of the best players in the League, known better as David Silva.
If sitting on top of the Premier League after your first half season with the most scrutinised and pressured club in England means you're a flop then does this suggest that because Lionel Messi outshines the rest of Barcelona team that players such as David Villa, Pedro and Alexis Sanchez are all flops too?
The time to judge Nasri is when he has completed a season at the Etihad and he has been allowed a season to gel with the team and the philosophy of football that surrounds him. Currently Nasri has been the fourth best creative influence in the Premier League this season, ahead of the likes of Luis Suarez, Gareth Bale, Michael Carrick, Mikel Arteta, Rafael Van der Vaart and many more. If that makes Nasri a flop then what does that mean for those mentioned above?
Ultimately Nasri can only continue in the way he has so far this season. He has been excellent in linking up with new team mates and can only go from strength to strength. If you're outshone by Silva in a game, then there is absolutely no shame in that whatsoever.
Keep Calm & Pass to Nasri…….or Silva
Seasons Greetings

Aimee here to share a spooky pillowcase I made with the goblins, ghouls & ghost cut file from The Cut Shoppe
I absolutely love using cut files to make home décor. The best part of making pillowcases, they take up very little storage! I buy the pillowcases at ikea. They cost between 3-8 dollars.
Here I used a glitter vinyl heat transfer from Cricut. I used it with my Silhouette Cameo and just used the glitter setting.
I weeded, and ironed on.
The whole process took about 30 min and that's including the time it took the Cameo to cut the file!
How would you use this cut file?

Stylish design paired with functionality, robustness and low weight
Every biker would love to live out of this suitcase
When the warm spring sun drives away the winter frost, it also arouses the wanderlust of motorcycle fans. Finally set off again, smell the asphalt and conquer the world! Take the machines out to get them ready to go and get started planning short trips or long distance tours. But no trip without luggage. What is the best way to store it? Which luggage systems can give the noble design of the bikes another kick, and which are light, robust, safe and easy to handle?
These are the questions the experts at Hepco&Becker GmbH, have in mind. The company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-quality luggage systems for motorcycles and is based in Pirmasens, Germany. The family business, which also specializes in tool cases, has put its accumulated know-how and many years of experience into a new side bag called the XCEED. The top loader was developed in cooperation with EGON Engineering Goes On, a technology consulting company from Memmingen, and its design is based on high-quality anodized aluminum and the impact-resistant Makroblend® UT6007 plastic from Covestro.
Really tough
"With this combination of materials we make use of contemporary lines and shapes that lend the case elegance and value. At the same time, it is light and handy and can take a lot of punishment in everyday life without its appearance getting immediately damaged," explains Nils Arnold, specialist in design and development at Hepco&Becker.
The plastic is used for the base of the case, which weighs only 4.5 kilograms, the housings of the lid and case lock as well as the edges of the lid and the case body. In addition, the handles of the lid, which can be opened and removed from both sides, as well as accessories such as canister and drinking bottle holders are made of the polycarbonate and polybutylene terephthalate (PC+PBT) blend.
Matte, finely grained surface
"Our material has proven itself in many ways. For example, it is extremely low-temperature impact resistant so it hardly breaks and splinters even at low temperatures, which benefits safety," explains Thomas Vaillant, a plastics expert at Covestro. It is also particularly resistant to typical motorcycle fluids such as oils, greases and fuels as well as cleaning and maintenance products. In addition, matte, finely grained surfaces can be injection molded without any defects and they complement the aluminum look very well.
Good flowability and dimensional stability are another advantage of the elastomer-modified thermoplastic. They ensure that the partly filigree geometries are precisely reproduced, for example in the area of the locks, and that the complete case – it has a capacity of 38 liters – fits precisely into its support and the installation environment.
The different variants of the Makroblend® UT series are also in demand in other motorcycle applications. For example, they are used to produce weatherproof and impact-resistant battery housings for electric motorcycles.
XCEED will appear on the market in mid-2018 and was already presented at the EICMA, Europe's largest motorcycle fair, in Milan November 2017. Detailed information about the side bag can be found at https://www.hepco-shop.de/?___store=english&___from_store=german.

History's 'Pawn Stars' tops cable shows
USA Network wins week, averaging 2.9 million viewersOn the heels of notching its best monthly ratings performance in 15 years, History showed no signs of slowing down as the calendar rolled over to March.
According to Nielsen Live+SD data, History had the most-watched program on ad-supported cable for the week ending March 7 as "Pawn Stars" delivered 5.34 million viewers at 10:30 p.m. Monday.
History's most popular current series eked out the win over USA Network's "WWE Raw," which served up 5.32 million viewers between 9-11:07 p.m. Monday.
For the week, History finished with two of the top five deliveries on ad-supported cable. At 10 p.m. Monday, the night's lead-off episode of "Pawn Stars" drew 4.93 million viewers.
"Pawn Stars" also won the three major TV demos, averaging 3.1 million viewers 18-49, 3 million adults 25-54 and 1.6 million viewers 18-34. The lead-in also put up big numbers as the 10 p.m. "Pawn" took second place among the two largest demos, delivering 2.7 million viewers 18-49 and 2.8 million adults 25-54.
In February, History averaged a record 1.4 million total primetime viewers, a 17% increase of year-over-year. The network finished fifth among the two target demos, drawing 758,000 adults 25-54 (up 24% from February 2009), and 674,000 viewers 18-49 (up 19%).
While History continued to draw a crowd, USA again won the week, averaging 2.9 million total viewers, of which 1.3 million were 25-54. USA also took first among the 18-49 set, drawing 1.2 million, and claimed second with viewers 18-34 (508,000).
Along with "Raw," USA's biggest draws were repurposed CBS drama "NCIS" and "Burn Notice." "NCIS" delivered 4.8 million viewers at 7 p.m. Sunday and accounted for a half-dozen of the 20 most-watched programs on cable last week. Meanwhile, USA's original drama wrapped its third season March 4 in front of 4.2 million viewers, and while that was enough to win Thursday night, the delivery represented a 23% drop from "Burn's" 2009 season finale, which averaged 6.1 million viewers.
Fox News Channel claimed second place on the week, averaging 2.2 million viewers. FNC tied Discovery Channel for 10th among the 25-54 demo, drawing 543,000. The news net landed its biggest audience of the week March 1 as "The O'Reilly Factor" delivered 4 million viewers in its 8 p.m. slot.
Third place went to TNT and its 1.8 million viewers. The Turner net grabbed third with viewers 18-49 (876,000) and tied sibling TBS for third among adults 25-54 (894,000).
TBS took fourth (1.8 million), winning the 18-34 demo outright with an average draw of 674,000 viewers. TBS also won the 18-49 silver, delivering 1.1 million members of the demo.
History rounded out the top five with an average nightly audience of 1.7 million. The network took second place among adults 25-54 (909,000) and finished fourth with the 18-49 set (818,000).
Among the core TV demo, last week's top 10 ad-supported cable nets were USA, averaging 1.2 million viewers 18-49; TBS (1.1 million); TNT (876,000); History (818,000); ESPN (678,000); A&E (669,000); FX (660,000); ABC Family (643,000); Comedy Central (559,000); and Discovery Channel (548,000).
Disney Channel continued to dominate the kids and tweens demos, averaging 953,000 kids 6-11, 1.2 million viewers 6-14 and 777,000 tweens 9-14.

Signature sounds and scents enhance the multisensory environment. The result – A seamless experience with a singular visual vocabulary.

Monthly Visitor Statistics, Alan McIver, Quo Vadis
- A polynomial of the form Y = A*X2 + B*X best fits the data at present, where Y is the number of visitors per month, and X is the number of months since we first went online. Values of A and B are 19.5 and 110 respectively. This corresponds to a growth rate of approximately 18% per month.
- Unsurprisingly, the data is cyclical, with peaks and valleys in December and June each year.
- Word-of-Mouth advertising is 8.55 times greater than visitors who find the site via direct searches of search engines like Google.
- The number of hits i.e., the sum of visits on all pages on the site -- is about 2.5 times the number of visitors
- 1.5+ million Visitors from over 190 countries and over 5000 cities around the world have visited the site thus far, most of whom are from South Africa. However large numbers of visitors from the UK, USA, Germany and Holland and others, in declining order, also make use of the site.
- Viewership in December 2013 reached 89000 per month and will reach 100000 in January 2014 far higher than was predicted earlier. This figure is forecast to reach 150000 and 200000 in December 2014 and 2015 respectively (see the attached graph).
- Cumulative viewership is forecast to reach 2.34 and 3.66 million in December 2014 and December 2015 respectively (see the attached graph).
Bear in mind however that all growth thus far is the result of either personal experience or word-of-mouth advertising -- the ultimate measure of whether or not a site is useful. No attempt has been made to:
- Boost these numbers by marketing the site
- Boost these numbers by "optimization" of its Google ranking, which is currently low (2/10)
- Improve the "visual impact" of the site
- Make the site more easily accessible by giving it a catchy name
Why? Because such gimmicks are not in the interests of stakeholders, who need to know that the above numbers represent potential customers who are seriously interested in travel in Southern Africa rather than web surfers looking for pretty pictures etc. So unlike most other websites, substance rather than form is and will continue to be the approach adopted here.
The above outstanding results suggest that Quo Vadis is ready to go to the next phase of development. I am as a result currently searching for partners able to add value to this initiative.If you know of anyone who may be interested, please ask them to contact me at email@example.com

The place for discussion, debate and nonsense about Bath Rugby.

New visitors please read the house rules before posting
Test your prognostications at our Prediction League
Yes he is contracted to end of next year. As stated on the rumour thread I happen to think this may be a smart move so that big Dave can get rehabilitation and game time in the sun and with a top team.
...as a senior member of the team he should have got himself down the tunnel in the mix and got a few people going...I guess he knew he was off shortly... - this is a joke comment right? If all our injured senior players joined the half time talk, there would be more voices than Mike Yarwood. Captain and head coach would love that.
Quote:I've always thought that Phillips was probably injury dispensation for Attwood; but even if not, the dispensation is what? £450k per season? With all the props we've brought in, there's absolutely no way on Earth we haven't used it all.Tall Paul
Sounds a bit concerning. Have we got a medical joker in the squad already covering his positon/ salary? Chron report suggests perhaps Phillips but thought he was on a standard contract, not injury cover?
Alternatively, he may choose to join Toulon full-time, in which case that's a considerable chunk of our playing budget freed up.
From the chronicle article:
"Salary cap rules state that if, due to injury, a player has not played or been a replacement during a season, they can be discounted from the cap unless their club has brought in a replacement for them under the injury dispensation provisions."
We haven't brought in an injury replacement in the second row, James Philips was signed early on and if hes an injury replacement for anyone, surely its for Ellis.
From an outside perspective, this is a very bizarre story to me. Why would you let arguably your best lock go on loan to the french league. The Japanese league maybe but the French league is even more taxing for Front 5 forwards than the premiership so I just don't think this decision makes much sense.
The equivalent would be sarries asking Billy to go on Loan to Racing seeing as he has been injured for most of this year, Attwood would have been a great boost to your top 4 hopes for the rest of the season so this is just truly bizarre and even if Attwood requested this, I don't think Bath should have allowed this to happen. This seems to me like Attwood is going there on a 3 month trial and Toulon will pay some sort of transfer fee at the end of the season for him
Quote:No they don't. Why should the minutiae of his contract be laid out for all and sundry? I certainly wouldn't want my contract negotiations plastered everywhere.Bath Hammer
The Club needs to fully explain this decision. If its a confidentiality issue Im sure Attwood would waive that right in favour of ending the inevitable speculation. It is a bit worrying that he will see out his contract with us which implies he will not renew We have missed him & could do with him back properly refreshed but why the need for this???
Quote:Outside Bath
I wish BC would actually relate to the fans for a change on this and all the other issues at the club. He promised us progress towards being a top club again, but it just hasn't worked out.
I know he has his minions to deal with the fans, but things are serious enough for the top man to speak for a change.
Quote:Bath Hammer
I agree it seems bizarre but its best not to jump to conclusions before there has been a proper explanation, which there should have been already.
Quote:This has been answered - repeatedly. He can be deregistered due to his injury/loan spell - so long as he hasn't appeared for Bath (including on the bench) this season.DanWiley
It seems to me we've either registered him or we haven't. If we've not, then we'd have been crazy not to spend that money and we can't now register him. If we have registered him, and there's some mechanism that we can use to deregister him and take him out of the cap, then we must not have spent his injury money and you've got to ask why?
Quote:Absolutely, the delay looBath Hammer
I agree it seems bizarre but its best not to jump to conclusions before there has been a proper explanation, which there should have been already.
Quote:If we're back to being overly worried about "what if" for when we're 3 injuries down (you're assuming Charteris, Ewels and Douglas are all unavailable), and someone gets injured... then we're back to wanting a squad of at least 60; whilst we're getting complaints about trying to grow the squad to 44 and stretching things too far, not offering star players enough salary etc.WestonDave
I can see some logic in it from various points of view - however ultimately the one it fails to overcome is the "What if Attwood still being at the club could have made the difference" test. In other words we're scrapping for 4th or 6th, Ewells gets injured again, we're playing on a plastic pitch so Charteris can't play so we're stuck with Stooke and Philips in the second row because we need Garvey in the back row.
Quote:Agreed - it smells to me that this has been leaked to the press before the club expected, and had anything prepared; whilst is a little dodgy, but it happens. I'm not sure if I'd prefer a "this is happening - more details to come" statement nice and early; or a "here's all the details" 3 days after the PR damage has been done.WestonDave
If no other considerations were on the table but doing the absolute best we can this season, he wouldn't be going. That he is might be about salary cap, might be about his long term well being but we don't know because nothing clear is coming out.
Personally not going to be impressed if all we get is a terse statement of "he's going" issued at around 5pm on a Friday afternoon when everyone is on the road getting home from work for the weekend. That will rather strongly hint of a lack of proper respect for supporters.
Quote:Fair point, well madeDanWiley
Well, if you will go back 6 hours in a busy thread (or two) I wouldn't be that surprised.
I wish BC would actually relate to the fans for a change on this and all the other issues at the club. He promised us progress towards being a top club again, but it just hasn't worked out.
I know he has his minions to deal with the fans, but things are serious enough for the top man to speak for a change.
I wonder what the odds are for DA ever appearing in the BB&W again? I am out looking as this is an absolute gold plated bet in my eyes and nothing that has been put out makes much sense or is logical.
I would like to correct my previous posts...... bizarre as it sounds I think we will find out that We have got it all wrong.
Just adds to my belief he is gone for good which IMV is a real shame.
Quote:If it's for personal reasons, I wouldn't expect anything as it's confidential and private.Optimist
If only someone, somewhere - at least one of Toulon, Bath Rugby or Dave himself - would just issue a clear statement about all of this.
Quote:23/04/17 to 06/05/17... So his last 3 matches for BathBathMatt53
Is that 3 games on the trot? Wonder when he last played 3 consecutive games for Bath?

Twelve witnesses over the past five months: the ICC's case against former Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo and his supporter Charles Blé Goudé is not getting up to speed. Already, it is lost in discussions on history, suffers from a lack of evidence tying him directly to the crimes and has slowly moved into closed-door hearings.
When the International Criminal Court's new building [IJT-189] was officially inaugurated by the Dutch King last April, the celebratory ceremony ended with a performance of children singing Michael Jackson's "Heal the World". Three months earlier, there was a totally different atmosphere. On 28 January 2016, you could hear the swelling hymns of the crowd: "Libérez Gbagbo! Libérez Gbagbo! Libérez Gbagbo! (Free Gbagbo)" they chanted. Outside the guarded entrance, armed with megaphones, drums and banners, Ivoirians from the diaspora community in Europe had assembled to demand the release of the man they still consider to be their President: Laurent Gbagbo. Inside, while the court clerk read out the charges, some of the spectators sizzled, others burst out in sardonic laughter. They rejoiced in faith and uttered praises when Gbagbo and his companion in the dock, alleged mouthpiece, spin-doctor and 'street general,' Charles Blé Goudé, plead not guilty.
As the International Criminal Court (ICC) prepares to try its first former head of state when Ivory Coast's ex-president Laurent Gbagbo goes on trial in The Hague Thursday many question if the ICC is balanced in trying only the leadership of one side in the post-electoral violence.
Four years ago, on September 19, 2002, an aborted coup d'état attempt plunged Côte d'Ivoire into civil war and political violence. In October 2003, Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo sent a document to The Hague acknowledging the International Criminal Court's (ICC) jurisdiction over the crimes committed in Côte d'Ivoire since September 2002. The Court finally confirmed the existence of this document in February 2005. However, one and a half years later, and despite several detailed investigations by the UN and NGOs, the ICC prosecutor is "still questioning whether crimes were committed, analyzing the issues of jurisdiction and admissibility, and trying to determine whether the interests of justice would be served by opening an investigation," according to the ICC's report to the UN Assembly General in August.
Three years after his arrest in Abidjan, the former president of Ivory Coast received confirmation, on 12 June, that he will be tried by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

My brother JOsH decided to make a trip to Utah. Of course; to see our brother Andrew and attend a football game at BYU. We were just a bonus since we live here in Utah. Just Kidding...Uncle JOsh wanted to spend a little time too with his niece and nephew. Lindsay and Ryan were excited to camp out in the family room with Uncle JOsh.
The next morning JOsH, Andrew and Dan went out shooting the guns that Dad bought. According to the photos; they seem to enjoy shooting at Andrew's computer part or something. From there JOsh and Andrew headed off to a football game and to enjoy the rest of their time hanging out together. Dan came back home to get cleaned up for some other activities we had planned.
JOsh and Andrew ended up at our house on Sunday for a Family Dinner, chat, and a movie before JOsh's plane took off. We enjoyed having JOsh here. The kids enjoyed having both of their Uncles around. Next time JOsh bring Lorretta and Cali (kitty cat) with you.
JOsh and Andrew taught Ryan to say Oh my Uncle JOSh instead of Oh my ***. Which has been bugging me all week. Now Ryan is saying Oh my Uncle JOsh. I laugh at that phrase instead of getting upset when he used the other phrase. Instead of Oh my goodness, Oh my G**, it is now Oh my Uncle JOsh. Thank you Josh and Andrew.

LDS Prophets warn us of the dangers facing America
This was on my friend's FaceBook. I thought this would be one I would want to have on my blog to share with others. On her FaceBook she says, this was in the April 2008 Priesthood session, President Monson mentioned political machinations. Not knowing what that meant I looked up the word and was stunned as I read the definition. This videos was inspired..."Last days."
I guess I will be looking that up too.

Happy 5th Birthday Lindsay!
Happy Birthday Lindsay! Happy Birthday Lindsay!
Lindsay is now 5 years old. She loves Hello Kitty, Hannah Montana and dolls. Her favorite color is Pink & Chocolate. She loves to pretend she is reading. She reminds me of the little girl in Anne of Green Gables. This is one of her favorite books we read together. She is excited to be a part of a family with lots of cousins.

Happy 11th Anniversary!
October 11th, 2008 was our 11th Wedding Anniversary. What good memories of our actually Wedding Day! Dan was telling me how my brothers were trying to tell him..."Last chance to get out."... "She is your problem once you get married."..."We like you Dan, are you really sure about this." I was cool and claim; while everyone was running around. Until the little old lady asked if I need to use the ladies room before going to the brides room. I ended up throwing up and crying. Ahh... precious memories!
Dan and I have not really celebrated our anniversary for the last 2 years. Our 9th anniversary we were able to take the kids out to dinner from the Christmas box. Then on our 10th anniversary we had a party to celebrate the adoption of our children. Those two years skipped on by. We decided we were going to go away for a whole weekend, just us and no kids.
Our friends were kind enough to take care of our kids and our dogs for the weekend. Dan and I were excited to get away with no kids. We started to plan our weekend. Should we go to Park City for three days. They always have something going on. Or get away to the Anniversary Inn? Maybe take a cruise, or a trip out of Utah? Where should we go?
Did that happen? It seems something always happened. Then with the kids school and last soccer game. I just couldn't put all that on my friend. And on top of all that I was sick at the beginning of the week with an eye infection and a sinus infection. I did not feel up to traveling.
We decided to just send the kids overnight to our friends on Saturday into Sunday. This way Lindsay will be taking and picked up from school by us. She was going through an attachment phase we didn't want to miss. She was trying to and wanted to attach to Dan. We also did not miss Ryan's last soccer game. He really wanted all of us at this last game. How can you say, "No."
We took the children out on a Family Night together on Friday Night. Dan and I decided surprising the kids leaves little for disappointment for everyone. We packed the kids PJ sandwiches, and apples to eat at the movies and watch Igor. This way we feel they had a little bit of a dinner before we take them out for ice cream after the movie. Ryan and Lindsay thought we were the coolest since we had Ice Cream before Dinner. They thought PJ sandwiches were just lunch. We had a nice dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ.
After Ryan's soccer game that ended early since a rain/snow storm came pouring down. We took them to our friends house. Lindsay kept asking if we were going to ever come back. Ryan said, "Good Bye see ya in a week." Our dogs stayed home with us.
That's Right; we stayed home. We took care of our Dogs. We decided to go out for lunch to The Cheese Factory....Yummy food! Brought home the left overs. Dan and I decided we were tried and would take a little nap with no interruption from kids. We LOVED our NAP. I guess you can say as you get older a NAP is a good thing. We were thinking of heading out and decided it was too COLD and a Storm was coming in. We enjoyed each others time.... alone...NO KIDS...together. OK! We were too LAZY to get out of a warm bed. Of course, Dan had to walk 5 feet into the kitchen to get our YUMMY leftovers and dessert.
Dan and I enjoyed 11 years together and we are looking forward to many more to come. Maybe next year we will really get away. I am thinking anything far, far, far away with no kids will be wonderful.

Yes on Prop 8
This video clip has been emailed to us by other friends and family members. Dan and I decided it is important to add this video clip to our blog, just as others have done on their blog. It gives a good example of the consequences to our families if Prop 8 doesn't pass in California. Please go out and Vote this election. If you are not in California, please read your ballot and make sure this is not happening in your state.
This other video clip is also an inspiring message, of the importance of strengthen our Family not redefining Family. This clip touches on the importances of Life, Faith and Family.

Thanksgiving Point Farm Country
Today was a nice day to take our kids to Thanksgiving Point to enjoy the Farm Country. Lindsay Ryan, and myself joined our friends Kari, Ronan, and Charley to enjoy some farm animals.
Ryan and Lindsay did not know about it. I sometimes like to keep things as a surprise. Ryan was asked to get up and get dressed in nice clothes. His response, "Why? Are we are going to go somewhere special." Lindsay response to Ryans reaction was "Yeah! Where are we going? Can we take snacks?" Lindsay and Ryan were excited for today.
I did not say where we are going. I explained to them we can bring one pack. This pack will only have a sweat shirt and a pair of shorts for each of them. Just in case it was a little chilly or if it gets hot. I will pack the travel cooler with our lunch. We don't need anything else. Where we are going is to enjoy something and have lunch. Then we will be back before Nap time. (The Nap time is more for me than my kids.)
Anyways, are friends showed up while I was still getting ready. Ronan and Charley told my kids we were going to the Farm. The look on my kids faces were priceless. This would have been a perfect picture of their expression of confusion. As if they were trying to put a puzzel together. Then it clicked! They were excited and jumping around. We are going to the farm with our friends.
My children found their back packs and started packing there bags. When I notice what they were doing...I wished my camera was near by to take the picture of their back packs. Just Imagine seeing photos of Ryan's Transformer bag filled with toys, sweat shirt and pants. Her Hello Kitty bag had shoes, underwear, hair brush, pants, sweat shirt and her Hello Kitty Doll. She was also asking me if I would get her lip gloss and jewelry. I told her we don't need all this stuff. Lindsay response, "I need my stuff since we are going far, far, far away and I don't know when I will be back." I explained to both kids we don't need all this stuff and packed just what we needed we were off.
Once we got out of the car Lindsay said, "What is that smell? It smells like poop!" As she makes this face and pinches her nose. (Again, I missed another camera moment.) They had goats, pigs, ducks, horses, chickens and cows. They also had horse carriage ride and a pony ride.
Inside the building they showed how milk was produced and had a cow they can milk. Not a real cow. They were facinated to milk this cow. Lindsay and Ryan kept asking, "Why is it ok to touch a cows private parts?" My kids are not quite; they are shouting at the top of their lungs.
Once we moved away from the cow and went outside....The kids were so excited to go on a pony ride. Lindsay wanted to ride the "PURPLE" horse and only the "PURPLE" horse. It took me a while to realize she wanted to ride the horse that had a purple bridel on. Ryan wanted to ride the "Biggest" horse. The horse Ryan was describing was a big horse but also wore the "Purple" bridal. So, instead of them riding at the same time they had to take turns.
I finally pulled out my camera since it had just enough battery time and started snapping some photos. Lindsay was watching Ryan ride the pony and started to yell "POOP, POOP, POOP. Mom look my purple is pooping while Ryan is riding it. Yak." I took a picture of Lindsay pointing and making a happy face. What is it with my kids and potty words?
Once the pony ride was done. They saw other people sitting down at the picnic tables and wanted to lunch. We planned this just perfectly around lunch time. After lunch the kids wanted to feed the ducks. And off they went to the pond. They also had a few buildings the kids can go in and out of. Nothing much since they were pretty empty. I as a parent enjoyed taking a picture of them behind bars at the jail house.
After a few hours...I hoped they will enjoy the trip and picnic. We did have a few melt downs. There were other things they wanted to do there, but was not part of what we were doing. The melt downs came when it was time to leave. I hoped maybe the drive home will make them fall asleep. Nope, only Charley and Myself were tried and ready for a nap.

I usually start with some type of written scenario. After that I convert that into small thumbnail-pages, as you can see here.
I thought, if I'm gonna use acrylics I might as well go all the way. And I started over.
I'm trying different things, like do I paint the lines first or the colours first? (Talk about rigid, to assume everything needs lines anyway. Oh well..)
Many Thanks to Jeroen Funke for the great report! Next week 'Behind the Comics' will continue with Lai Tat Tat Wing!

Symone Wesley has a made a big impact for the Grapevine volleyball team.
The sophomore outside hitter wrapped up the season with 45 aces, 466 kills and 275 points, and her ability on both sides of the ball has not escaped the attention of coach Whitney Woody.
"Symone brings intensity to matches," Woody said. "She has a tenacious spirit on the floor, which she brings as an all-around player."
Aside from being one of the top players on the Lady Mustangs volleyball squad this season, Woody said that Wesley is already setting a good example for her teammates.

"Speaking just from the beginning of this season to now, her role has evolved into one with more leadership," Woody said. "She is learning how to lead her team on and off the floor."
Wesley, 16, said Grapevine started out kind of slow, but thanks to team chemistry and work ethic has improved dramatically, and said she definitely tries to do her part to help the cause.
"I try to brings a lot of energy and aggression for our team," Wesley said. "I feel like they rely a lot on me, and if I can continually bring loads of energy and fire up my team others will feed off of it."
Wesley, who also runs track and plays basketball at Grapevine, said the Lady Mustangs won't be content with duplicating last season's success.
"My goal is for us to make it farther than we did last year, so that means going to state since we made it to the regional finals last season," Wesley said. "I hope to help win Grapevine's first-ever state championship in volleyball."
In order to have a long run in the postseason and reach that goal, Wesley said it will take a few things.
"We'll have to get our middles more involved and speed things up," Wesley said. "We'll also need to try new things. But mostly we'll have to play for each other and put any feelings we have off the court aside and just be in the moment, every point."
Woody said she looks forward to coaching Wesley in the coming seasons and said she feels certain she will see continued improvement from her outside hitter.
"I expect Symone to continue to grow as a leader on and off the floor," Woody said. "She has a great respect for her teammates and continues to work to achieve for her team. It is that selflessness that makes Symone such a great player and leader."

Fox News Estimates Jon Stewart's Crowd at Seven People
Disappointing Turnout, News Channel Says
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – The Fox News Channel reported today that the turnout for Jon Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity" was underwhelming at best, with Fox sources estimating the total turnout at seven people.
"Our total count includes Stewart, [Stephen] Colbert, and what appear to be a few of their friends and relatives," said Fox anchor Shepard Smith. "This has to be a smaller crowd than they were expecting."
But immediately after Fox broadcast what it described as "live coverage" of the rally showing a nearly-deserted National Mall, viewers began to point out irregularities in the images being shown.
First of all, one viewer noticed that the live coverage of the rally was actually being broadcast a full twelve hours before the rally began.
Second, an expert identified the supposedly "live footage" of today's rally as file footage from a Sunday in 1997 when the Mall was completely shut down for reseeding.
Even in the face of such evidence, Fox stood by its story, with Fox host Glenn Beck pointing out that the seven people in attendance were "largely elitists."
"I was struck by how many correctly spelled signs there were," Mr. Beck said. "That's not my America."

Amortization is the monthly recalculation of principal and interest that takes place as you gradually pay down the principal of your mortgage. The portions of the payment that go to principal and interest change with every payment because interest is charged only on the portion of the principal that remains unpaid. The calculations are fairly straightforward and can be done on paper, or with a simple calculator.
Consult your mortgage statement to find your annual percentage rate, or APR, and the principal balance on your loan. The principal balance is whatever you borrowed, less the amount you have paid back. The APR is your interest rate.
Divide your APR by 12 to get your monthly interest rate. For example, using an APR of 5 percent, 5 divided by 12 is 0.4166.
Divide the result by 100 to convert to a decimal; in our example, 0.4166 becomes 0.004166.
Multiply your APR in decimal form by the principal balance to compute the amount of interest you will pay in the current month. For example, a principal balance of $232,000 multiplied by 0.004166 equals an interest payment of $966.51.
Subtract the interest amount from your contractual monthly payment, not counting the escrow portion of the payment, to see how much will be applied against the principal. For example, $1,342 minus $966.51 leaves $375.49 for principal reduction.
Subtract the principal payment from your total principal to get the amount of money on which you will pay interest next month: $232,000 minus $375.49 leaves a principal balance of $231,634.51.

A great review of Quantum in Indian newspaper The Hindustan Times:
'That science is a many-splendoured sexy thing is the radiating message that comes out of this fabulous book. Manjit Kumar writes a pulsating narrative about the history of modern science's most fundamental revolution in Quantum (Hachette, Rs 495). The great debate about the nature of reality — between Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr where they and their 'two schools of thought' face each other off reads like Corleone-Tattaglia feud from the Godfather minus the machine guns, plus the atom-smashers.'
'Even in the prologue of this historical journey of science, Kumar knows how to hook the reader. "Paul Ehrenfest was in tears. He had made his decision. Soon he would attend the wee-long gathering where many of those responsible for the quantum revolution would try and understand the meaning of what they had wrought. There he would have to tell his old friend Albert Einstein that he had chosen to side with Niels Bohr.... In a note to Einstein as they sat around the conference table, Ehrenfest scribbled: 'Don't laugh! There's a special section in purgatory for professors of quantum theory, where they will be obliged to listen to lectures on classical physics ten hours every day."'
'Kumar brings lucidity and a sense of drama to what is usually considered by lay readers as an esoteric, bubble-chambered subject. He does this without sacrificing the 'science of it' at the altar of readability. The triumphs and the tribulations, the politics and the physics, the humanity and the genius of the protagonists all collide to produce the sort of energy that we usually expect in a Le Carre thriller.'

All four districts will be conducting prescribed burns as conditions allow. Prescribed burning reduces hazardous fuels which protects human communities from extreme fires. It also minimizes the spread of pest insects and disease, removes unwanted species that threaten species native to an ecosystem, provides forage for game, improves habitat for threatened and endangered species, recycles nutrients back to the soil, and promotes the growth of trees, wildflowers, and other plants. Find out details of the timing and locations by calling your local ranger district or visiting our prescribed fire page.
