Bob in Keokuk, Iowa: Reed and Anthony, On last weeks show a question was asked about the difference between salt bath nitriding and chrome lining. Chrome lining applies a thin layer to the surface of the barrel. The barrel and the rifling would be cut larger depending on the thickness of the coating.
The salt bath penetrates into the steel actually changing the surface of the base metal. Both Nitrogen and carbon are interstitial atoms in the crystal structure of the steel. While elements like Cr, Ni and Mo replace iron atoms in the crystal matrix, smaller elements like carbon and nitrogen sit between the iron atoms. At higher temperatures and high concentrations these interstitial atoms will penetrate into the steel. When they talk about a case depth or thickness in this case it is the depth that the nitriding penetrates into the steel.
By shoving all of these interstitial atoms inside of the crystal structure you greatly reduce the ability for the larger atoms to move around each other. Think of those beaded seat covers. If you have two and you pull one across the other it is bumpy but they will slide. Now take some marbles and shove them in the small spaces in between the beads. Now when you pull them across each other it takes more effort. This is a simplified way to think of how adding these interstitial atoms harden the steel. There is of course a lot more going on there with intermetallic carbide and nitride formation but I think that helps get the idea across.
The advantage I see is that the nitriding does not change the dimensions of the barrel and cannot "flake" off because it is actually part of the barrel. Will the average shooter know the difference I don't know. I went with a stainless barrel for my build. Below is a picture. I had an aimpoint on it at first but Reed says I need to learn to shoot iron sights so by god I am going to learn to shoot with iron sights.
PSA blemished lower. BCM blemished upper. PSA lower parts kit. PSA BCG CAA Interchangeable pistol grip UTG fixed stock. YHM free float hand gaurd Rainier arms .223 wylde, 18", rifle length gas system stainless barrel. Troy industries fixed battle sight YHM folding gas block height front sight.
I have about three hundred rounds through it at this point with one failure to eject. The gun was hot and a steel tula case stuck on me.
Thank you for inspiring me to jump in and build a complete rifle for my first AR. I really enjoy the AR15 podcast an all of the shows on the FRN.
Arturo: Hi Reed, How's the weather in Texas today?
Listening to ep #81. Just heard you mention your use of the forward assist. Have an topic idea for a podcast ... proper methods to recover from malfunctions. For example, today I don't think that using the forward assist when the bolt fails to go into battery would be recommend for example. Do you really want to jam a round in chamber if the gun failed to load a round normally? Could cause further trouble depending on the cause for the malfunction in the first place.
Regarding Anthony's problems with steel case ammo. He could try a lighter weight buffer, and/or switch to a low-mass bolt carrier. However, I think his problem maybe that the gas port on his barrel maybe too small for the steel case ammo he's using. Has he tried using different vendors/loads of steel case ammo?
Rob: Aloha, I know shooting eye dominance is not just for ARs but eye dominance will affect AR shooting. Have you or any of the GREAT GGR shows covered?
How about a back to shooting basics AR show? Safety, proper handling, basic stance etc. If ya think it's boring it means ya need a refresher!!!! Have ya ever gone to a friends house and he wants to show you his new firearm by whipping it out sweeping everyone in the room....luckily the girlfriends/wives have likely wisely fled the room.......and YOU have to ASK him to clear it? Oh, and then he gives you that superior it's not loaded look?
Love da show!!!
DrD: Here are a couple of links worth reading that pertain specifically to topics you've covered recently and in the past few months. (I had sent these to Reed, but didn't see them posted and got no response, so I guess he never received them) Enjoy!
Re: MSR Failing episode http://www.defensereview.com/the-big-m4-myth-fouling-caused-by-the-direct-impingement-gas-system-makes-the-m4-unreliable/Re: FN SCAR episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_98MeKrCzwkRe: Barrel episodes (Be sure to read the comments as well as the article. Many of the responses are quite enlightening) http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/10/daniel-zimmerman/the-truth-about-barrel-length-muzzle-velocity-and-accuracy/Tim C: Reed, You talked about steel ammo causing failures in the AR. You might want to take a look at this article: http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/brass-vs-steel-cased-ammo/. This article is pretty exhaustive in analyzing ammo and its affect on the rifle over thousands of rounds. Of particular interest given your show is the lacquer coating you referenced. In reality, the only lacquer-coated ammunition they tested was the Brown Bear. Tula and Wolf have polymer coatings-mainly for the prevention of rust. Also, their conclusion about the lacquer affecting failures was, "We found no evidence to back up the claim that lacquer coatings melt in the chamber and cause extraction failures." In fact, they say earlier that "We shot them until they were too hot to hold – hot enough that a chambered round would cook off in ten to fifteen seconds. We also tried leaving rounds chambered before temperatures reached that point. None of this harsh treatment caused extraction problems." Hopefully this will add to your knowledge base. Love the show!
Mr. King: Happy Fourth of July, or Independence Day, or... Heck with it. Happy Birthday, America!
On your earlier show #078, you mentioned go/no go gauges. Might I ask you guys what these are, how important they are, and how to use them?
I'll be buying the Magpul adjustable stock and buffer tube next Thursday, and want to stay ahead of the game. I've already bought the vice, punches, hammers and other tools needed -except for the armorer's wrench.
I'm finally all caught up with your shows, and looking forward to the next one. Have a great holiday weekend.

And the Birth is Just The Beginning...
She didn't know that the birth was ONLY the beginning.
This picture was taken a couple of hours after Jazz was born at home back in 2008, you can see she's still just wrapped in an old towel and I look high from all the oxytocin.
Exhausted, euphoric, shocked and amazed all in the same moment. With no idea what an epic journey was ahead of me.
I found the first few months of Motherhood both blissful and very challenging. I adored my little baby but found her constant demands frazzling. I found my new great big wide emotions frightening. No one had warned me that I'd feel SO MUCH!!! She breastfed every 1-3 hours through the night for about six months, which is perfectly normal but the sleep deprivation made me delirious, paranoid and sometimes furious. I JUST WANTED TO SLEEP.
None of my friends or sister had children then - some of them still don't, and my Mother was a few hours away. I'm sure it's the same story for many many other New mothers all across the western world living in bubbles in the City.
But we aren't designed to mother in isolation. It causes anxiety and depression. NEW MOTHERS NEED MOTHERING. You need a community close by for daily love, reassurance and company. A friend to say that everything IS OKAY... this is the normal rhythm of things, time will pass and everything will settle. Someone to hold you with compassion.
If you're expecting your first baby build your community now.
Attend groups and classes and courses and drop ins..... and whatever you enjoy so that you have a solid tribe of women who are sharing the same moment with you.
Surround yourself with Mothers and Mothers To Be in Pregnancy, let your Mother, Sister, Friend come and stay with you when your partner goes back to work.
Don't be alone. We are meant to do this together.

As I continue my sea travel journey throughout Europe, I am so reminded of our early critical bonds and alliances.
America ultimately secured her hard-won independence, and endured little interference from her European cousins, bound as they became within colonial entanglement and internecine strife. There did come a time, however, when cousins were called upon to aid their familial bonds. World War I was such a necessary occasion – and surely Americans viewed this as an engagement limited to rendering aid and supply. Nonetheless, Europe's losses in men and capital were so costly that it affected the prosperity of entire generations and, if truth be told, laid the foundations for World War II.

For shop owners, a necessary part of running a business is knowing how to attract customers. To do this, experts usually recommend outfitting your shop in a way that makes it look neat and organised. There a number of suppliers on the market right now that sell interior furniture or equipment for business establishments. Here's a closer look at some of these tools:
1. Wall Brackets and Channels
The purpose of wall brackets and wall channels is to support any object or product that is placed on them. They're installed on walls firmly that they won't fall off in case of earthquakes or heavy loads.
2. Display Shelving
These shelves are used for displaying products in plain sight so people can easily spot them. The height of the display shelves is designed to be easily reachable for customers.
3. Parts Boxes
In case of small parts like screws and bolts, these need to be organised in a compact yet easily seen box. This is why boxes could be seen in hardware stores and computer parts shops.
4. Storage Cabinets
For extra products or supplies that would no longer fit in the shelves or boxes, they can be placed inside storage cabinets for the meantime. This would prevent you from losing any unsold products.
5. Sign Holders
Sign holders can keep things orderly in your store by guiding shoppers where certain products are. These can also be used to alert customers of any sale or any event in your establishment.
Shop owners need to keep their establishments neat and orderly. Doing so would make buying a breeze and make organising easier for employees. Investing in must-haves like sign holders, parts boxes, or wall brackets can get you a step ahead of your competitors.

What do you want from your relationship with your dentist? Oftentimes, this question is answered when there is a dental problem or emergency requiring immediate attention. There is a different approach to your relationship with your dentist that relates to your own needs and the dental plan you have. This approach is designed to help you create the kind of experiences you want with your dentist.
You have a choice about this relationship and how it can support and assist you in your life. It begins with the simple question stated at the beginning of this article: What do you want from your relationship with your dentist? Are you just looking for a doctor who can take your dental plan? Or, do you want more?
The answer to this question can take many forms. For some people it may mean having a lot of information about their dental health and future. They seek facts to know they are making good, informed decisions. Others may want a friendly relationship in which openness and communication are valued.
They want information your dental plan, but more importantly, they want to know they are important to the dentist and the dental team. Some individuals want minimal information and discussion -- just the facts and the solutions to take care of any problem.
We all have different wants in our relationships with health professionals such as dentists. Here are five tips to assist you in deciding what you want in your relationship with your dentist:
Each person looks for different things in their relationships. It is your responsibility to determine what you want and look for that in the relationship with your dentist. The answers to the questions above will tell you something about this.
The next step is communicating what you want so that you are understood. Only you know when someone else understands you. Here are four tips to assist you in this communication process:
Communicating what you want is important to your dentist for it is the best way for him or her to maximize your dental plan for you.

RW Thailand: Party THAIme
On August 18th, 2017, 14 new Booth students approached O'Hare with a bit of nerves and excitement as we were about to embark on our first formal Chicago Booth event, a Random Walk to Thailand.
The journey began alongside two other random walks, Indonesia and Vietnam, who accompanied us on the first leg of our trip to Hong Kong. Right away, we were able to make not only new friends from our trip, but meet other Boothies that were headed to the same continent. All together on the airplane, we had a solid 14 hours of talking and bonding time (and in my case, most of these talks surprisingly centered on philosophy since my airplane buddy was reading Friedrich Hegel).
We started our journey in Bangkok, a beautiful, bustling city. We toured the Grand Palace, bowing and marveling at the Emerald Buddha statue in reverence. We walked through the city's markets and streets, taking in the culture, smells of delicious food, language, and ambiance. We enjoyed the wonders of the city's night life by starting with a traditional Thai dinner and some very icy local cocktails.
On the next step of our journey, we jet set off to Phuket, where we enjoyed a lovely boat ride to the gorgeous Phi Phi Islands, which are beautiful islands donned by large cliffs and mountains. We spent our first day there taking in the sights and sounds, relaxing on the white sand beaches, listening to the local boats crashing toward the pier, and enjoying the marvelous sunset from a top the island's highest peaks post a very scenic nature hike. The RW Thailand crew finished the exploration of Phi Phi by donning their best neon apparel (on Phi Phi Don, pun intended) and exploring the various beach venues of the island, stopping along the way to appreciate Thailand's version of an Ibiza pool party.
While sad to leave the islands we were grateful for the memories we left behind as we boarded our boat back to Phuket. In Phuket, the group relished in the night life, taking several trips to the infamous Patong Beach. We soaked up the last few days of sunlight and beach time at the Phuket resort (and of course, savored the unlimited brunch specials), and made our way back to Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, we were able to see the city from the highest vantage point possible – a top the open ceiling venue at the Ritz Carlton where we relished our last few hours in Asia.
Random Walk Thailand was an incredible experience. Lifelong friends, two beautiful countries, and endless laughs, memories, and late nights really brought together this amazing group of Boothies. Can't wait to apply to lead Random Walk next year with people from this great group!

Vancouver's Hashteroid takes stoner rock in a thrashy, high tempo direction, proving the genre capacity is not contained to slow, droning riffs.
"We like to go fast," says the trio, whose stoner rock/metal songs emit sonic reflections of bands like Motorhead and Black Sabbath.
While the new album was released this April, we can expect a limited run of about 300 records to be released soon. The band expresses their love for vinyl: "Records are like artifacts. It's one thing to release something digitally, or as a CD, and another to release a vinyl."
The band attributes their sound to key pieces of gear, such as a custom snare made of a sewer pipe, a Gibson SD (notably played by Toni Iommi of Black Sabbath, and occasionally Jimi Hendrix), and a Rickenbacker Cheyenne bass. The band takes lyrical inspiration from their frustrations with the world, and the pace at which things are changing.
"I'd say the lyrics are concerned with eschatology, heresy, and historical materialism," says guitarist and singer Alex Gidora. This highlights that the band's high tempo, thrashy music is not just angry in a juvenile or unjustified way – the band cares deeply for the state of the world, and for frameworks in society.
"'Black Tide' is maybe the most critical," Gidora explains. "It's about turning our sense of origin on its head. I think there's a real danger in believing you come from something good. In reality, concepts of the good play out in moral hierarchies. Good is good against the bad. If we cleave to these myths that we come from and belong to pure stock, noble foundations, or the supreme revelation of truth, that creates a psychological necessity in the subject to preserve those illusions, and we mistake our own worth with that of belonging to this thing wrapped up in this purity myth, whether that thing be a religion, a nation, a race, a civilization, a tribe, or a mode of production. 'Black Tide' says we're not pure – we come from scum, which is in a sense literally true."
This care for the world and societal frameworks seems to transfer over into a love for their surroundings and the Pacific Northwest in general. While Hashteroid may be classified as stoner rock, or stoner metal, they fall far from the generalized stereotype of couch potato, lazy, bong-ripping bros. The cannabis reference is deeply rooted in the band's name and aesthetic, but so is what could be interpreted as an asteroid, quickly moving through space. They like to get things done and enjoy themselves. When the band isn't making music or touring, you can find them doing "west coast things" like hiking. This contrast between lifestyle and musical tempo within the budding Vancouver stoner rock/metal scene leads us to turn a new leaf on all the genre encompasses.
Hashteroid kick off their Canadian Tour with Dead Quiet at the Biltmore Cabaret on June 15.

Visual Sound GarageTone Pedals
THE ECONOMIC APOCALYPSE HAS HAD one positive effect in that gear companies are expanding their lines with lots of easier-on-the-pocketbook offerings. Visual Sound's great sounding pedals were already reasonably priced, but now they've gone one step farther with the new GarageTone series stompboxes, which are budget priced, but not budget sounding.
You could own all five GarageTone boxes for less than the price of some individual boutique pedals, yet these units feature solid 18-gauge steel enclosures and have the same handwired jacks as Visual's standard-line V2 pedals. Redundant connections on the vintagestyle footswitches add reliability, as does the power-protection circuitry, which prevents damage to these pedals if you plug in the wrong type of power supply.
I tested the five GarageTone units with a 1965 Fender Strat and a Fernandes Telestyle (both equipped with DiMarzio Virtual Vintage pickups). For amplification I used Orange Tiny Terror and Egnater Rebel 30 heads, both of which were driving a custom-built 1x12 cab with an Eminence Texas Heat speaker.
Equipped with Speed and Depth knobs, the Oil Can ($59 street) is a classic sounding phaser that provides all the viscous analog goodness you could want. This pedal excelled whether used to summon overdriven Van Halen whoosh or clean, Stuff-style funk, and I found the rate range to be perfect for dialing in anything from slow subtle sweep to fast Leslie froth. The Oil Can doesn't offer any bells or whistles, but its rich phasing mojo doesn't get much better at any price. For all it does and at such a great price, the Oil Can Phaser earns an Editors' Pick Award.
KUDOS Gorgeous analog phasing.
CONCERNS None.
Visual Sound's Bob Weil, who co-designed the original Reverend Drivetrain (now discontinued), has updated it and repackaged it in a smaller enclosure. As with the original Reverend pedal—which was my go-to overdrive for years—the new Drivetrain ($59 street) sounds like a less compressed Tube Screamer, though the 2-band EQ sure makes it easier to get the right balance of low-end thump and top-end presence. The dynamic response and wide overdrive range of the original Drivetrain is very much in attendance here. From clean, relatively transparent boost to singing sustain and smooth rock crunch, the new Drivetrain covers it all while sounding warm and natural.
KUDOS Warm, dynamic, tube-like drive. Versatile.
CONCERNS None.
The Chopper ($69 street) features an opto-isolator and analog circuitry, and it has Speed and Depth knobs along with a clever Wave control that lets you dial in Fender-, Vox-, or Ampeg-style tremolo effects—each of which has its own unique character of volume modulation. The Chopper doesn't venture into full slicer territory on any Wave setting, although it can get angular and fast enough for Oz Noy-style stutter effects. Bottom line: If you're looking for a pedal that specializes in vintage-style tremolo effects, the Chopper is an ideal candidate.
KUDOS. Warm sounding. LED blinks in time with the tremolo speed.
CONCERNS Not as choppy sounding as its name would imply.
More of an aggressively toned overdrive than a distortion pedal, the Chainsaw ($49 street) provided enough level boost to get my Orange Tiny Terror head to break up, but did not generate gobs of gain on its own. That said, it serves up some terrific Stonesy rhythm sounds, and has a cool upper-mid musical nastiness that really helps you cut through a mix. At full drive it only delivered about as much breakup as a cranked vintage Marshall or non- Top Boost Vox AC-30—meaning it's fully sufficient for Keith Richards/ Chuck Berry stabs and double-stop riffing, but a little short on sustain. For soaring single-note soloing, I ran the Drivetrain on clean boost into the Chainsaw, to which it responded much like a real amp while delivering its own brand of Brit-flavored lead wail.
KUDOS Packs a distinctive rock-and-roll overdrive voice.
CONCERNS Could use more gain.
Featuring a hybrid digital/analog circuit, and equipped with Time (delay), Repeats, and Level controls, the Axle Grease ($69 street) leans more toward the analog side of delay in the way its repeats break up in a pleasing, almost Echoplex-like fashion, while the original note remains clear and distinct. Only when performing some runaway feedback tricks did the Axle's digital factor become evident, and this was not so much in the sound, but in the way the pitch changed when I varied the Time knob. You may or may not dig the more extreme effects this pedal is capable of, but as a basic delay for faux-reverb or rockabilly-style slapback effects, the Axle Grease lays on the lube in a very cool way.
KUDOS Authentic analog/tape-type delay sound.
CONCERNS Feedback tricksters might need pure analog.

As winter turned to spring, collaborations were afoot at Wedge Studios. Highlighting nature through their individual style and medium preferences, resident artists Elise Okrend, Tessa Lang and Jen Gordon joined forces for the show Natural Elements. Okrend's pastels depict grasses, sunsets and sunrises; Lang's use of oil bar in a contemporary animal series reflects her abstract style; and Gordon's mixed-media work employs found and reclaimed objects as well as papermaking and wax painting. The artists' selected creations may be viewed in the Cloud Room at Wedge Brewing Co.'s Foundation location starting Monday, April 2. There will be an opening reception Wednesday, April 11, 5:30-7:30 p.m., and the exhibition will be on display through April 30. Free to attend. wedgebrewing.com/location-wedge-foundation.

From Fixed to Growth Mindset in One Word/
We've all seen children and adults alike trying something for the first time and after - in their words – a failed attempt, they definitively decide never to do it again.
It can feel awkward, uncomfortable, embarrassing, overwhelming and much, much more when something that we want to be able to do escapes us.
Likewise, we've probably all had experiences of being told that we're not very good at something and it has prevented us from trying to get better or even trying at all, assuming that the card we have been dealt can never be changed.
I remember the feeling so well.
As a young child I loved writing stories and poetry and making little books and would happily spend hours in my bedroom or sat in the garden writing. There was no thought about whether it was good or bad, it just was.
Fast forward from that 7 year old girl to the 14 year old girl getting feedback from her English teacher about an essay on an anthology of war poetry – a topic low on the interest list of most 14 year old girls.
"You need to connect to the authors more, be less formulaic in your writing, you have missed the point and you must try harder".
Well, in one foul swoop my joy and pure enthusiasm for writing disappeared.
In one foul swoop I went from freely writing to feeling constrained.
In one foul swoop I saw myself as bad at writing and placed myself in that box firmly shutting the lid on top of me, never to see light of day again.
I went through the next 20 years of my life stuck in that box never once considering looking what lay outside of it.
That was until one day when someone asked me to write a book.
I laughed knowing that it was a ridiculous idea but deep down wished that somehow it could be possible.
It took a lot of convincing – added to the beautiful knowledge that writing this book would help many disadvantaged people - to open the box and consider the possibility that I could transition between boxes or even not need to sit in a neatly labeled box at all.
I decided to go for it and in the process rekindle the love of writing I had as an 8 year old.
One book led to two and now to a meaty third.
Yet, what I now realise is that all it would have taken in my teenage years was to consider the use of one simple word.
I can't do it YET but I will learn.
I haven't seen the answer YET but I will keep trying.
I don't understand what you're saying YET.
Everything changes.
The more fixed our mindset is at any age, the lower the chance of breaking down the walls of impossibility and experiencing the world of infinite possibility.
Whatever you want to do, are trying to do or are secretly hoping to do but can't, know that the door to possibility starts with the power of yet.

It was obvious today was going to be a long day
That would be full of hard work and no time for breaks.
As I ran around like a dog chasing his favorite toy, energy that was inside of me slowly faded until I couldn't tell you what was going on.
The day slowly faded so fast in front of me, and darkness was all I saw when I finally slowed and looked at the night in front of me.
The moon shining so brightly made it obviously clear that even though I got a lot done that day.
I didn't really get to live in the moment and just breath in the relief when everything worked out.

A while ago I wrote about not-quite dates, and how much of a turnoff I consider them. Well, this article is by a guy, and he also decries the "not-yet-a-date." He says that it kills the romance by placing you immediately in the friend zone. Instead of getting flirted at, you're held at arm's distance, because the woman has no clue what's up and whether she should consider you differently.

Second World War veteran awarded Legion d'Honneur two days after his 93rd birthday
A Second World War veteran has been awarded the Legion d'Honneur medal, France's highest honour, two days after his 93rd birthday.
John Newton, known as Jack, broadcast war communications from Normandy after the D-Day landings.
Mr Newton, from Aspley, Nottinghamshire, left school at 14 to work as a telegraphist at the General Post Office.
He joined the Home Guard when he was 18, and enlisted in the army when he turned 18.
He served with the Royal Signals - and was sent to France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Greece and Egypt.
His nephew, Jonathon Smith, got in contact with the French government about awarding his uncle the medal.
The ceremony was arranged to coincide with the week of his 93rd birthday.
Mr Smith said his uncle had been "typically humble" about his achievements.
Mr Newton said he was "very grateful" to his nephew for organising the ceremony.

Indian American father, daughter murdered
A man named Iftekhar Murtaza murdered his ex-girlfriend's father and daughter for objecting to his relationship with the said girl.india Updated: Jun 14, 2007 13:29 IST
A young Muslim man has been charged with the murders of the father and sister of an Indian American Hindu woman who stopped dating him following objections from her family.
Iftekhar Murtaza was arrested Wednesday on charges of murdering Jayprakash Dhanak, 56, and his daughter Karishma, 20, and severely beating Dhanak's wife Leela, 53, last month.
He allegedly also set the family's Anaheim Hills home in California on fire. Leela is still in hospital and investigators have not been able to interview her.
If convicted, Murtaza could face death penalty or life imprisonment without parole, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Police said Dhanak disapproved of his younger daughter, 18-year-old Shayona, dating Murtaza.
According to court papers, the young couple had broken up due to family pressure a few weeks before the murders.
Initially, investigators were baffled by the incident. They zeroed on Murtaza after tracking his cell phone records, which showed it had been used near one of the crime scene an hour or so before the slayings although he told authorities he wasn't in Anaheim Hills on the day of the incident.
Murtaza was arrested at the Phoenix airport here a few days after the killings. He had an air ticket to Bangladesh.

My Story and Mission
How it all started
Deanna Scherrer Jewelry was born out of the beauty and resources of Boise, Idaho. After moving to Boise for school, I quickly discovered the endless outdoor opportunities and worked for most of college as a backpacking, whitewater rafting, rock climbing and bicycling guide. These experiences have inspired my work.
I simultaneously studied at Boise State University and earned degrees in Visual Arts with an emphasis in Metal Art and Art Education with an emphasis in Art History from Boise State University in 2016.
After college, I combined my love for the outdoors with my dedication to metalsmithing and created Deanna Scherrer Jewelry.
My Mission
My ultimate goal with Deanna Scherrer Jewelry is to help people hold on to their adventures for life. I often find myself dreaming of trips past and I know I am not alone. I want you to have a little piece of adventure that is handmade with love by a fellow adventurer.
I strive to to monitor my environmental impact with everything I do with my business. I recycle my metals, buy recycled metals and get my marketing materials made with recycled paper products. While businesses inevitably have an impact on the world, I aim to make mine minimal.
I believe strongly in making jewelry that will last forever and never go out of style. I want you to be able to wear your Deanna Scherrer product for life and be proud of the story it tells.
Sustaining Our Communities
Giving back is an important aspect of my business. I have donated business earnings multiple times since I began Deanna Scherrer Jewelry. One of my proudest accomplishments in this area was donating over $500 to the building of the Bears Ears Visit with Respect Education Center shortly after the national monument was reduced in size.
I live by the Leave No Trace principles. When I recreate outside, I take everything I bring in back out with me and leave what I find in nature to continue to add to the environment. I spread these ideals through marketing and my products. Instead of taking something from nature to preserve a memory, get a River Necklace and wear it with pride.
An early generation

England and Brazil are heavyweights of world football, and when these two teams meet for any kind of a match, be it a friendly or a major event, the atmosphere is expected to be gripping. Wembley Stadium will host both the nations on Tuesday, and there is a huge sense of excitement and euphoria about the friendly encounter.
Both the nations were brilliant in their respective qualifying campaigns. They secured their World Cup 2018 ticket and will be looked upon as favourites for the title in Russia next year. Such kind of matches, though friendly, will give both England and Brazil a chance to test their players, before announcing their squad for the World Cup.
England are missing out on some of their key players like Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Dele Alli among others for Brazil match, hence the hosts will be captained by Eric Dier. However, they did play some good football against a good German side. The match ended 0-0.
Despite some players not available, England have a decent team, with the likes of Jamie Vardy leading the line for England against Brazil. Gary Cahill is available for Tuesday's clash.
England manager, Gareth Southgate is not afraid of giving chances to youngsters, and Dominic Solanke, Lewis Cook and Angus Gunn could feature against Brazil. Though England may lack experience against Brazil, the game at Wembley is expected to be top-notch.
Brazil are one of the best in-form teams in world football. They have not lost a single away game in their last nine matches, which is a tremendous record. After Tite became the coach of Brazil, the South American side have gone from strength to strength, helping them improve in all departments of the game.
They have some especially talented players in world football, including Neymar, Philippe Coutinho and Gabriel Jesus in the attacking front. It would be a challenging task to keep these Samba boys silent on front of goal.
Their backline is equally brilliant, which can be understood from their 11 clean sheets in 16 matches under Tite. It remains to be seen if their backline will be tested much, but the home team will be looking to use Vardy's pace and energy to trouble Brazil's defence as well.
Where and when to watch live
England vs Brazil is scheduled for 8 pm GMT, 1:15 am IST, 3 pm ET. Here is the TV and live streaming options.

My late father was a mining engineer. He had lots of interactions with economists over his long career in government, the private sector, and academia. His take: "An economist is someone who goes from an unwarranted assumption to a foregone conclusion."
I was reminded of his view by a report in Electricity Daily of a study from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, predicting the beginning of the end for coal and natural gas in electric generation (peak fossil fuels) in 2025, extraordinary investment in wind and solar, widespread use of electric vehicles, and economic battery storage.
And if you believe that, I have a bridge for sale…cheap.
Let's start at the top, with peak fossil fuels. Bloomberg says coal and natural gas will fade as generating fuels, despite low prices. "Around 2027, new wind and solar gets cheaper than running existing coal and gas generators, particularly where carbon pricing is in place," says the report's executive summary. The full report is not publicly available.
This post has some telling graphics, thanks to Michael Shellenberger.
That's probably bogus, as carbon pricing regimes in effect so far produce carbon prices far lower than would drive a move away from cheap fossil fuels. But it's a good unwarranted assumption.
Electric cars? Why would anyone buy an electric car when gasoline is cheap? Even in Europe, where gasoline prices are taxed to the roof, electric cars are not flourishing. In part, that's because battery technology, after more than a century of research and development, is still not competitive with internal combustion. Another unwarranted assumption.
Then we move to batteries themselves, which, says Bloomberg, will see lower costs "through technology development, economies of scale and manufacturing experience. Cheaper batteries increasingly bring small-scale and grid-scale storage options into play." "Technology development" is another magic wand assumption.
Finally, renewables. Here is where Bloomberg plays the "capacity game," predicting huge increases in generating capacity from wind and, particularly, solar. Now, we all know that capacity and energy aren't the same thing. All megawatts are not created equal. I suspect Bloomberg's economists grasp that basic concept, but the executive summary does not translate capacity additions from intermittent resources into energy reductions through retirements of fossil plants.
The "capacity game" is frequently played by advocates of renewables and foisted off on inexperienced or credulous reporters to demonstrate how wind and solar are kicking fossil fuels off the planet. But it is a game, and a losing one at that.
Call me skeptical, please. That's my job. But I don't view the current flood of reports about how the world is going to look in terms of energy usage in 15 years or more with any more respect than I looked at reports in the 1970s and 1980s about how the world was going to look in terms of energy in the 21st century. Those also featured lots of unwarranted assumptions reaching foregone conclusions. None were even close to correct.

JAMESTOWN – A Frewsburg Junior-Senior High School teacher has been arrested on three misdemeanor charges for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old student, according to State Police in Jamestown.
Steven D. Hess, 39, of Jamestown, a business education teacher, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, forcible touching and third-degree sexual abuse, according to the state police. He was to be arraigned Tuesday in Carroll Town Court.
State Police said school officials notified them in May of a possible inappropriate relationship between a teacher and a student. Investigators said that the alleged inappropriate contact took place on school grounds in April and May.
Hess, a 1994 graduate of the school, has been a faculty member since 2008 and has coached the boys' and girls' bowling teams.

Complex DNA Testing - What is it and why do markers matter?
As a legal professional you may be used to requesting DNA Testing, and when the report arrives simply turning to the conclusion to see if your client is related or not.

Paternity Testing: What You Need To Know
Aside from cases such as surrogate pregnancy, it's usually pretty obvious who the mother of a child is. However, this is not the same with the father and in cases of doubt, many families have to resort to DNA paternity testing for a definitive answer. It is estimated that between 5% and 20% of children have the wrong man identified as their father. Whilst many people would argue that a man does not have to be a child's biological... Read More

Does Anyone Get Engaged On 'Bachelor In Paradise' Season 4? Things Could Be Different This Time Around
Monday night marks the start of the most highly anticipated season in Bachelor in Paradise history. After the scandal that happened this summer, the hype around this season, and it's contestants, is unlike ever before. Paradise has proven successful for some couples in the past, but this season's shorter shooting schedule, due to production being shut down earlier this summer, might have fans wondering if there was enough time in paradise for engagement-ready relationships to actually develop. This bring us to the question on Bachelor Nation's mind: Does anyone get engaged on Bachelor in Paradise Season 4?
The trailer for this season gave us a look at all of the love, drama, and tears that we can expect, and judging by what the promo teases, it is totally possible that more than one person could leave with a Neil Lane sparkler on their finger.
This inside peak at the upcoming season dropped the "L" word more than once and fan favorites were seen professing their feelings in paradise. For example, Derek Peth, who vied for JoJo Fletcher's heart on The Bachelorette, was caught on screen telling Taylor Nolan, who competed on Nick's season of The Bachelor, that he is "absolutely falling in love" with her while the two were lying in bed. Derek was not the only one shown sharing serious feelings. Jack Stone confessed to the camera that he and Christen Whitney have real love and he can 100 percent see himself marrying her one day. Raven also joined in on the engagement buzz by looking at her ring finger during her confessional and saying, "I might get engaged."
There is so much speculation surrounding the couples on BiP this season, but one couple in particular has been sparking headlines ever since shooting wrapped. At the end of July, a photo was released showing Amanda Stanton and Robby Hayes holding hands while attending an L.A. Dodgers game with other Bachelor Nation stars Ashley Iaconetti and Jonathan Treece aka the Tickle Monster.
This photo seemed to spoil some of the fun that is to come on Bachelor in Paradise. During the promo for this season, Robby made this cryptic statement, "Amanda is beautiful and it's safe to say we we're off to a hot start but I love the idea of falling in love with Raven." The photo of the pair strolling around hand in hand seems to nullify Robby's pursuit of "the idea" of Raven (whatever that means) and most likely reveals that he ended the show with Amanda. What is unclear is if the pair left the beaches of paradise as an engaged couple or just boyfriend and girlfriend.
In an interview with Us Magazine, Amanda gave viewers some insight into the effect the shorter timeline had on relationships and said, "Since it was so short, nobody really took it as seriously this time." She also said that she could see some couples getting engaged on the show's live finale instead of Mexico and followed up with, "I can see it happening. Yeah, and they have time to date in the real world so it makes sense."
Amanda words seem to confirm the theory that the shorter shooting schedule might have affected the number of couples who got engaged in paradise this time around, and her idea of a couple getting engaged on the live show would be great for the drama factor.
We won't know until later this summer if Amanda idea comes true, but it is clear that this season of Bachelor in Paradise is going to be one for the ages.

Her email came out of the blue.
She was a college student studying photography and she wanted to work with me. I had received requests like this before, but hers seemed different.
After a phone chat and coffee meet-up, I invited her to assist me on an engagement session.
I remember the couple we photographed being very surprised that this was our first time working together. Even from the very beginning we clicked and were in sync.
And now, years later she has seen sooooo much of the behind the scenes of my photography journey. The moments of panic, the breakdowns, the joyous fist bumps, and elation. I've been so grateful to have her at my side.
And it's my honor to celebrate her achievement in completing her Masters! Yobo, I can't tell you how proud I am of you. You have worked so hard and persevered through so much. Congratulations to you! I pray that all the ways you have given to my business and me come back to you a hundred times over!

The maple sap is flowing, albeit a little sporadically. We finished bottling about 7.5 gallons last week and are now cooking our next batch. Matt is sludging through the mud, as we speak, to empty the buckets!
The sheep also had their yearly haircuts yesterday, thanks again to Wyatt. They look great though are stuck in the barn for another day to keep them from getting chilled.
And Griswold was a perfect gentleman when meeting the new goat kids. He even sat next to me, leash-less, while we tried to take their pre registration pictures.

The community garden (CG) needed help desperately as they were trying to rescue a badly overrun medicinal herb garden. The herbs were planted organically to help cancer patients using alternative medicine to help them during their chemotherapy. The organiser was reorganising the way the CG was run as a TROLL had apparently visited it ... pulled out many of the plants and signages that were done sometime back.
I've seen this garden grow cos' I usually look at it when I pass by as I return home walking from the bus stop. It was lush some months back and I've seen a couple of people working in it. Now with many plots empty without plants and plans and overrun herbs .... I can't help feeling sad for the many trials it had endured. I can only try my best to see what can be done and hence the birth of this blog ...Gardening Dream Inspire.
Let the pics do the talking ....
The CG looks pretty bare now except for the medicinal herb section and my neighbour has been desperately trying to plant as much as she can. I heard that tomorrow the Minister will be here to plant a tree.
Plans for the garden .... (roughly from what I understand) The garden to have ....
Vegetable garden area
Culinary herb garden area
Medicinal herb garden area
Flowering garden area
Flowering garden area
Fruit Trees garden area
Big plans to have but so few helping hands .... I would appreciate it if I can have some positive suggestions from those who have experience in helping in CGs ....
Meanwhile I will try to identify plants, make signages, source for ideas on how to plant seeds and cuttings successfully, weed, water, pack seeds to exchange for plants etc, etc ....
I believe my days are really going to be filled .... :-)

With the advent of the Internet, digital technologies have empowered customers to play a more active and demanding role. Companies need to be efficient and robust in their organizational operations now. With the amount of organizational work increasing day by day, sometimes companies resort to business process outsourcing solutions which involve contracting of a specific business task to a third party provider so that companies can focus more on core activities and work efficiently. Outsourcing is not a new concept to pharmaceuticals because manufacturing capacity and clinical trials are frequently outsourced. Non-core support functions such as HR, finance, and IT are also outsourced. Outsourced contract research and contract manufacturing have become the standard for many pharmaceutical organizations. The pharmaceutical outsourcing market on a global level is segmented into:
- Raw material sourcing
- Active pharmaceutical ingredient
- Finished drugs
- Drug discovery
- Pre-clinical development
- Clinical trials
- Biology research
The global pharmaceutical contract services industry faces many challenges and changes. Outsourcing Pharma.com conducted a state-of-the-industry survey of pharmaceutical industry professionals including sponsor companies and contract research, development and manufacturing organizations. The participants of the survey included representatives from Baxter, Hospira, BASF, PPD and Quintiles IMS, among others. The main objective of the survey was to measure the current state of the global pharmaceuticals outsourcing market and evolving relationship of those involved. The survey collected response from 363 readers about topics such as market conditions and investments, partnering trends and challenges. Last year's survey presented many challenges for the industry but with this survey the respondents felt more positive.
- The pharmaceutical industry has come up with various initiatives over the past year, many of which focus more on the patient.
- More than half of the respondents agreed that these initiatives will bring more transparency and also improve the confidence of the consumers.
- 16% strongly disagreed with this view.
- 80 percent of the respondents agreed that the current political environment is creating challenges for the industry and many others agreed that a rising amount of negative news caused difficulties for the industry.
- Majority of the respondents agreed that they had difficulties filling key roles at their company during the last year.
- When asked if the company will take on more staff this year,
- 16 percent strongly agreed
- 42 percent agreed
- More than half also agreed that their company is planning more capital investment this year than last year. The company expects profit margins to improve as well.
- 41 percent noted that that their company made acquisitions in the past year.
- As per future purchases, less than half i.e. 38 percent agreed that their company would likely make an acquisition within the next year
- 24 percent were unsure.
Among the survey respondents, emerging markets was most often cited as a category of growth drivers. North America and Western Europe dominated as the two most important markets for both pharmaceutical companies and suppliers. Japan was third with 31 percent, followed closely by China, India and South East Asia.
Almost 44 percent of respondents representing pharmaceutical manufacturers said yes to outsourcing more this year than last year, and 37 percent said they will outsource the same amount as last year. From the supplier's viewpoint, 66 percent said that they expect to see more companies planning to outsource business this year and 23 percent expect the same amount of business. Only 11 percent of pharmaceutical manufacturers said their company will bring more business back in-house. Analysts point out that preferred provider relationships could struggle under pharmaceuticals company consolidation.
- Around three fourth of survey respondents "disagreed" with the viewpoint that working with a preferred provider is less important to their company.
- 73% "agreed" that they would continue to work with more than one preferred provider
- Less than half agreed that M&A activity affected their preferred provider choices.
Qualities pharmaceutical companies look for in a contract service company include the following.
- Competitive pricing – 62.8%
- Specialization/niche capabilities – 56.4%
- Ability to meet short deadlines – 52.6%
- Superior customer service – 46.2%
- Knowledge of multiple regulatory environments – 42.3%
- A similar company culture – 23.1%
- A global footprint – 16.7%
Persistence Market Research says that during the period 2016 – 2024, the pharmaceutical outsourcing market will continue to witness a shift towards developing biopharmaceuticals rather than drugs. This is because the former offers better profits and protection against generic competition. The market will witness dramatic growth during the forecast period, almost double, in the amount of biopharmaceutical products such as bio better, bio-similar, and biogenetic varieties of current products enter world markets.
Thus business process outsourcing is poised to grow in the global pharmaceutical industry. Some of the factors driving the global pharmaceutical outsourcing market are reducing costs, improving efficiencies, ensuring business continuity, reducing staff, allowing staff to focus on the core competency, and reducing risk through using specialists.

I got a letter a few weeks ago stating that Medtronic have made a few improvements to their Enlite sensors:
- Increased comfort; The sensor adhesive has been 'optimised' to reduce irritation and the tubing around the electrode has been removed to reduce inserted volume by 80%
- More consistent performance; The electrode design has been modified
- More reliable data connection; The connection between the transmitter and sensor has been improved
I was looking forward to these changes and I finally managed to get hold of my new sensors this week.
The only difference to the external packaging was a yellow "new" sticker
This is the (now tubing-less) insertion needle. There isn't very much inserted that isn't required for the sensor any longer. The electrode does look slightly different to the old model.
The insertion went well with no pain at all. One thing I only noticed after I inserted the new sensor is that one of the few problems I did have with the old Enlite sensors has been fixed! Previously, the top of the tape which held the transmitter down used to be sticky which meant that it was topped with a small piece of plaster backing. The corners of this used to scratch at my skin and make it irritated. The adhesive on the top of this strip has now gone, so no more scratchy plastic!
I've been using this sensor for a few hours now, and so far it seems spot on. I'm hoping that it will be even better than my previous Enlites!

Wins for BVB and Hoffenheim with structured build-up plans
The 6th game week of the Bundesliga season delivered a number of interesting clashes. Bosz' table-topping Dortmund hosted their great rivals Gladbach led by Dieter Hecking, and this was accompanied by the battle of the talented young German coaches as Nagelsmann and Tedesco's team's clashed. In both matches there were interesting approaches to build-up with structures focused on using the available space left by the opponent to progress. The analyses therefore have a small conceptual element included.

The Alliance for the Study of Adoption and Culture (ASAC) Conference this year will feature sessions of The Adoption Initiative, which is usually a separate conference. I've been to both conferences in the past, have worked on the planning committee for the latter, and am greatly looking forward to this combined effort. The conference will take place in Oakland, October 18–20.
My proposal, "Resisting Extirpation: Revolutionary Adoption Activism" has been accepted as a paper presentation. The proposal follows:
Research Paper Proposal • Current adoption activism accedes to dominant liberal conceptions of economic and political value as ascribed to human life. By extension it concedes culturally specific concepts of family creation, kinship, identity, and citizenship. Adopters and adoptees, identifying with the class responsible for displacement and dispossession along a grand spectrum, construct adoption as separate from similar societal disinheritances. When examined through a lens of "social death", adoption regains its role as a quite successful tool of social cleansing. It is only in admitting adoption's agency in such practices that an effective resistance concerning survival and healing can be put into place.
Purpose • This presentation will challenge the current stasis of adoption activism. It will propose the correct reclassification of adoption as a purely extirpative practice. This redefinition demands responses that do not in and of themselves aid or abet said practice. It will advance an activist and revolutionary praxis as the basis for a renewed activism concerning adoption.
Conceptualizations/Theory(ies) • Despite its formalization and adaptation over the years, adoption's function as an extirpative violence continues to seek the removal of the unwanted, unfit, and undesirable figuratively from the body politic, more literally from geographic place, and existentially from life itself. As such, adoption activism need focus on precursors in a similar vein: eugenics, euthanasia, genocide, and societal cleansing of unwanted populations. A radical adoption activism puts forward the tenet that the act of adoption does not put an end to this desired annihilation, nor does it remove an adoptee to a safe haven. In fact, the desired end result of the original targeting continues, with deleterious social and psychological effects on adoptees over a lifetime.
In this light, and in an effort to regain a sense of holistic purpose, such activism must seek out communal alliances with those similarly deemed outside of the polis and part of the zoë (Agamben). It requires an examination of the history of adoption less in terms of race, family, belonging, and identity along individualistic lines as defined and categorized by dominant norms, and more in terms of originating class and community as targeted for extermination by said norms. Theoretical frameworks denoting the formalization of genocidal strategies (Card, Marsoobian), the concept of social death (Patterson), and the failures of liberal citizenship (Balibar, Wallerstein) prevail as valid lenses through which to define adoption, especially in the face of the continuing failure of adoptees to be considered valid members of the polity.
The Adoption Initiative is one of the few adoption-specific conferences that allows for challenges to the dominant norms and the status quo concerning adoption. In the face of cooptation of adoptee activism, it becomes vital that the questioning of the status quo of adoption practice be given voice. I can't think of a more appropriate venue for such a presentation as Oakland! Hope to see you there in October!

Of all of some sort of legal agreements that you will have to work over in your lifetime, a real estate discovery agreement is one in the longest and a particular one of the most convoluted. Many of the next forms we've looked at here are short; nearly always one or two rrnternet sites and they can are filled out and gone through over in only every few minutes. With this real estate development agreement, you will likely want hours to wade to one of these dense, 10-50 page documents. Future house fires . take a look at what a real estate development agreement is with why they are thereby lengthy.
A real house development agreement happens to be just that, your agreement to suffer from a parcel behind land for their individual or commercial begin using. The agreement can potentially be between their individual and an absolute construction company, a commercial builder on top of that a city potentially town, a city and town moreover a retail business enterprise or other combos of the over. Some real estate development agreements in between large companies like Wal-Mart and a complete city or in the middle of a company that most will be dealing with hazardous chemicals, like a gas station and one specific city, can be extremely long by means of they need in order to really cover any eventuality that could pop up during building or later on once there is a fantastic accident.
The typical substantial estate development agreement starts off with simple definitions of who is involved with the agreement, the date on top of that where the sheet of property that is scheduled for development is. Our own agreement will besides spell out the main municipality that is regarded as in charge of overseeing the development. The next location of the written contract is often the entire "Witnessed" section which unfortunately lists all along with the necessary things the builder supports had to finish off up to until this point to enjoy the development commitment approved by the city. The city will make specified that the place you've chosen in order to build on is going to be properly zoned to obtain the type involved with building you want to do as well as the they will also check that you've submitted a enlargement plan, which could be different than this agreement, to its city in advanced of this produce. Once those strategies are met, the actual meat of your contract is wrote out.
The first component is the descriptions that simply enter out what each term used in the contract matches to. For example, the city probably builder will more than likely define what "total cost" means but it can becoming used throughout i would say the contract. If it all is a extremely home building contract, there will most effective be two or even three definitions, provided that the contract may for commercial property, modern residential units there could automatically be dozens.
Next, the technology plan sketches obtainable the project. This section is usually tend to short and simply lays down typically the ground rules from the build, such as the time frame, property decreases and so found on. The improvements component can be quite long as the situation outlines all within the improvements this development will do with the village like improving sewer lines that it hooks up to.
The closing sections out of the contract go previously mentioned deadlines for building also things similar to landscaping rules, parking rules and the rules are hands down in add for supplementary building available on that parcel of land of soil. Overall, a real real property development understanding is almost always as exhausting as a person's plan is: simple for homes, difficult to understand for heavy duty properties.

It is not often that I fell upset by low ethical standards. After all, incidents like the Janet Jackson episode was not something I would take much notice off. It did not like it, but I did not find it particular upsetting either.
But this evening, while I was watching varies TV channels, I came across "the Voice TV", a popular Danish music TV channel. Besides showing varies music videos, they got an advertisement running continuously across the entire screen encouraging teens to... well read it yourself:
I know this is just another SMS product (You send in your name - and in return you it is twisted into a slimy adult one - for about $1.5) but the message is outrages. How can a TV station targeted teenagers have such low ethical standards as this?
Where is their sense responsibility? Where is their sense of ethics?

Having watched a Scent of a Woman movie last night with a blind character played by Al Pacino, I was reminded of the VALUE of sight. Most of us are blessed by being born with vision of both eyes. Think about life without our eyes - or any vision. It'd be missing such beauty.
So let's not take vision for granted. I lost sight in my left eye in a car accident at age of 17. But Ic can still see with my right eye. I have vision. I have ability to see the gorgeous ocean every day, living here in Hermosa Beach. I even see the sunset every night and the stars above the ocean from my home windows. Wow, am I blessed!
Wow, aren't we fortunate to SEE!
