Acid Mondays, a Spanish duo formed in Leeds but now permanently living in Ibiza, have been steadily building a strong presence ever since their inception. Quality releases on the likes of 2020 Visison, Deep Vibes, Compost, Magnetic and Circus Recordings have not only raised the profile of Negghead and Lex Wolf as they are otherwise know, but have also highlighted their dexterity when it comes to producing spaced out and somewhat hallucinogenic strains of house and techno.
They've managed to forge that enviable quality where their sound changes from release to release whilst still keeping a unique feel that is distinctive of their work. Their new EP for Leeds based imprint Illusion perfectly encapsulates that aesthetic with some highly creative, off-centre house that is perfect for the upcoming party season.
The guys' reputation behind the decks also continues to grow with their Ibiza residencies, special vinyl only sets and some killer performances across Europe. Their stock is most definitely on the rise having emerged as one of the islands must see acts for summer 2013.
I Voice caught up with duo to get the low down on what we can expect from them moving forward.
First things first; where does the name Acid Mondays come from? It sounds like there's some nostalgic references in there.
Yes, it's from a photo album that was created on Facebook a few years ago that captured all the fun we had that summer on Mondays. We'd been thinking about starting a new project in the studio so using that as an alias seemed like the natural choice.
How long have you been working together? How did you get together in the first place?
We first met in Leeds 12 years ago when we both worked in the legendary record shop 'Playmusic'. As we were massively into Vinyl, DJing and partying we started a few projects together and it grew from there.
How would you describe the music that you make?
Well it's mostly based in house and techno but we try not to limit ourselves to any particular style or genre. Music is about feelings and these change and evolve like the music we make.
What are the similarities and differences between the music you produce and the music you play out in clubs?
The music we produce is a creative process that is inspired by the dance floors we have been on and the feelings we have experienced. The music we play is about raw vibes that magnify the crowd and the space that we play in.
How did your Salvia Sessions EP on Illusion Records come about? Have you been pleased with the reactions so far?
It's a mixture of old tracks that were made a few years ago plus some new bits that came about from a few sessions in the studio last year. Tom and James at Illusion asked us if we'd like to do a full a release for the label so we sent them the tracks. They hit us straight back absolutely buzzing off them and said they'd take them all. The reactions so far has been great. DJs like Raresh, Terry Francis, Laurent Garnier & Shonky have all got behind it so we're really pleased with how it's going.
How did you feel when Delano Smith confirmed to remix 'Got To Get Higher'? Were you pleased with the remix? Does it complement your original do you think?
We were really happy with Delano doing a remix, Tom & James did a great job in hooking that up. We love his mix and think it balances out the EP nicely. He's also done another remix of Got To Get Higher that we're holding back for another release on Illusion so look out for that!
What else have you got coming up production-wise over the next few months?
We've got an EP for the Romanian label 'Nilla', a remix of an old favorite of ours dropping on Sneaks' label. Also our 2nd EP for Circus, a couple of remixes for Contemporary Scarecrow and a remix for the German Jazz artist Wolfgang Haffner. That's coming out on Timo Maas's label in July and also features remixes from Ricardo Villalobos, Nightmares On Wax and Timo.
Does the vibe of living in Ibiza fuel your creativity? Would you say that the beauty of the natural environment inspire you to create music more than you would if you lived in a big city for example?
Creative inspiration is everywhere. Ibiza has such amazing energy and it really helps the creative process but people, travel and experiences are just as much an influence.
Are you more prolific at making music during the off-season? There must me a lot of distractions on the island from May to September?
Yeah it's definitely easier to be more productive in the off-season as there's a lot of distractions in Ibiza during the summer. We are still doing a lot of studio work up until June but in July and August it's hectic to say the least and last place you can focused and be in is in the studio.
How long have you lived in Ibiza for? How has the scene here changed over the years ((for better or worse) in your eyes?
We've lived here for about 3 years full time and have done 7 summer seasons before that. We've also been coming out here partying since 1997 so we've seen the island change a lot! One of our favorite changes recently is the reintroduction of daytime parties as there's nothing better than partying in the sun!
Where are you favorite places to chill out and relax on the island away from music?
Our swimming pool, you cant beat a mid studio session dip! Apart from that beaches like Cala Comte or Cala Salada are really beautiful. Watching the Sunset at Es Vedra or BBq's with friends.

On Wednesday, October 7, 2015, California Governor Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 949 into law, making competition cheerleading an official sport in high schools. The bill known as the C.H.E.E.R.S Act, which stands for California High Schools Expanding Equality Respect and Safety, was co-written by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez from San Diego. Assemblywoman Gonzalez has been an avid supporter and participant of cheerleading as a high school cheerleader, college cheerleader, cheerleading coach, and as a parent.
Cheerleading competitions are mostly run by private businesses outside of high schools and can end up being expensive for the athletes and families involved. According to a press release issued by Lorena Gonzalez's office, Bill 949 "requires the California Department of Education to develop guidelines, procedures, and safety standards…for high school cheerleading no later than July 1, 2017."
California joins ten other states that acknowledge cheerleading as a high school sport. In following with other high school sports like football or baseball, cheerleading will have its own season and will be regulated by the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). With the passing of this bill, Gonzalez and all of her supporters hope that cheerleading athletes will have both "the respect and…safety standards they deserve."

Assist w/ creating added tensioThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.aj101 year ago
Bought these gloves as a gift for a friend, and they love them. These gloves help to increase the resistance felt with completing a variety of movements, adding intensity to most workouts, and increasing the level of effort required to complete body weight based training (such as jumping jacks). Though they are not a professional/professionally trained boxer they have also noticed a slight increase in hand speed since they began air boxing with this product. Wish the weight could be increased, ... but ensuring too much strain is placed on the joints is key as well so I understand the limitation.

Really can't beat theseThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.PiperJon12 months ago
I bought a pair of these years ago, enough years that I honestly can't remember when I did so. I've used them for protection while trail running, free weight lifting, mountain biking, shovelgloving, shadowboxing, and a variety of other things that have come and gone over the years. They have held up amazingly until just today. And even at that, it was because I yanked hard on the velcro strap where I had them hanging to dry, and the velcro was stronger than the stitching. Technically I could ... probably fix them, but hey, I think they've done their time. But guess what I'll be replacing them with. Yup, another pair!

Great for the priceThis reviewer rated product 4 out of 5 stars.oliva201611 months ago
I bought these a few months back and I love the way that they fit but I really wish that they had grip. The grip would help so much. However, for I would recommend these gloves for beginner since they most likely won't be doing heavy lifting specially heavy deadlifts which is when the grip would really come in handy.
Excellent Gloves!This reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.shae773 years ago
I bought these after I started working out regularly with my kettlebells and had started to develop unwanted calluses on my hands. These are no doubt the best gloves ever. They provide the comfort and protection I want and they also have a great look!

Cold Feet In The Bed
Why is putting my cold feet against my husband's warm legs so much fun when we're laying in bed?
| Tags: cold feet, Marriage, sleeping 16 comments »
Why is putting my cold feet against my husband's warm legs so much fun when we're laying in bed?
| Tags: cold feet, Marriage, sleeping 16 comments »
Well, I like to see the flinch, the little manly scream and count the curses. But that's just me. And my iceberg feet.
I agree with bybee. I love the flinch and the "what is wrong with your feet???" Plus, there is the added benefit of actually warming your feet up.
Because it usually ends in either me being warm… or being tickled which is fun and equals attention… 😉
Because there's a tiny bit of sadism involved…
Giving a dutch oven is even better.
This is one of the reasons I married my husband is his body warmth soothing my cold tootsies. Visiting from ILCW. Best to you and yours. Happy Reading!
Because it's a good way to get back at him for all the ways he annoys me when I'm trying to read in bed…his favorite being to flail over on top of me and ask repeatedly "does this bother you? does it make it hard for you to read?" which he follows up by reminding me, "rest of your life, baby." And we've only been married for 6 months.
Hey, I nominated you for some blogging awards Trish.
I've nominated you for one too Trish!
Hi, over from ICLW,
I do the same thing. Bahahaha!!!
I love that, too!!!! Hmmm….someone should research that!!
ha! i'm always toasty in bed–i worry about my husband putting HIS ice toes on my legs. brr!
I absolutely do this as well. And think it is a lot of fun.
I still do this after almost 30 years. He usually puts his other leg on top and my feet are warm in no time. It makes me feel loved and secure – and warmer!
Because he hates it so much. My husband curls up in a little ball and screams "no! cold feet!"
Warming my cold feet against my husband's warm ones is one of my greatest pleasures in life. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to mind.

France's famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower, will be renovated with two new wind turbines that can generate enough eco-friendly electricity to power the tower's first floor.
The pair of VisionAIR5 wind turbines, designed by renewable energy specialist Urban Green Energy, has been installed on the Eiffel Tower's second floor. They are painted a light silver to match the tower and can capture wind from any direction and together produce a total of 10,000kWh per year — enough to power the first floor.
The push to make the tower more sustainable was not part of any specific environmental requirement the historic site has to meet, but rather to reduce its environmental impact by 25 percent as part of the City of Lights' climate plan.
"The Eiffel Tower is arguably the most renowned architectural icon in the world, and we are proud that our advanced technology was chosen as the Tower commits to a more sustainable future," said UGE CEO Nick Blitterswyk. "When visitors from around the world see the wind turbines, we get one step closer to a world powered by clean and reliable renewable energy."

Dear friend,
I believe that I can help you.
Do you know that sertraline is also marketed under the name of Lustral and may be available under that name.
Effexor may not be your first choice because it has many side effects (and some of my colleagues call it "side-effexor").
It may be very similar, but their are other SSRIs that might be more suitable.
Prozac (fluoxetine), Paxil (paroxetine), Luvox (fluvoxamine) and Celexa (citalopram).
You say that you have a short attention span and are easily distracted. Have you always been this way since you were a child?
You might consider being checked for Adult ADHD when you return home. It may be why you are easily distracted and have a short attention span. إن شاء الله, Elliott

Chengdu is the thirteenth most populated city of China. It has many cars. Many of the cars come from Korea but some of them come from USA. Cars are a problem in China. What can be done about the problem of cars in China? They can be towed. Chinese people like to work in factories. It is fun. There are many factories in Chengdu. They make electrical products and there are some restaurants. Everything is delicious. What can Chinese employees do when they think it is not delicious? They can jump out of the window of the factory. Otherwise there is not much they can do. Unless they think of something. Then they could make it in the factory. Perhaps it could help to stabilize the problem of people jumping out of the windows of factories. The man who invented the factory is not very rich. He got robbed by Indonesians. But there are not many Indonesians in China so it should be a safe country. But it is not. Something is wrong.

Please confirm that you want to add Bring Your Design Concepts to Life with Keynote to your Wishlist.
Keynote has quietly revolutionized the world of mobile application design by providing the tools to transform your flat designs into fully animated and engaging concepts with only a few hours of training. This course will teach you to use the Keynote application to design dynamic, animated mobile app UIs that impress clients and engage users.
Learn to Build Beautiful, High-Quality Animated Mobile Application UIs with Keynote's Powerful Tools and Smooth Workflow
• Master the essential principles and tools of Keynote.
• Discover design techniques that will enhance your creative potential.
• Learn and implement best practices to ensure quality and impact.
• Journey from concept to completion by animating a sample mobile application.
Find Out Why Some of the Best Designers in the World Use Keynote
Many of Silicon Valley's most established and fastest growing companies swear by Keynote when animating UIs for mobile applications because it's fast and intuitive, and produces stunning final products.
One thing that sets Keynote apart is its nearly one-step "Magic Move" transition which animates the difference between to design comps. This course will teach you the power of Magic Move, as well as many other advanced design techniques available within Keynote.
Contents and Overview
Whether you're a beginner or a veteran designer with experience using Photoshop and Illustrator, you will find this course valuable in the way that it blends step-by-step instruction with hands-on, customizable exercises:
• Mobile App Animation from A to Z: With 23 lectures and 2 hours of content, this course covers everything from preparing assets, designing elements, and precision animation timing to exporting finished video mockups.
• Workflows for Sketch, Photoshop, and Illustrator: Since not all designers use the same tools, this course covers the workflows for bringing in designs for each of the top 3 design applications used by professionals.
• Test Your Knowledge: Periodic quizzes will review key concepts and ensure that you are mastering the content.
• Interactive Design Project: Together with the instructor, you will animate a sample UI for an iPhone music player app. Included Sketch, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Keynote documents allow you to pick up at any point in the project.
After completing this course, you will understand how to animate high-quality mobile application UIs using Keynote and you will be better prepared to meet the demands of your clients and developers.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Joseph Angelo Todaro and it's a pleasure to meet you. Let's talk about what this course is all about.
Keynote is the application we will be using for the duration of this course. Let's take a look at what Keynote is all about and how to get it on your Mac.
Attached to this particular lecture, you will find all of the demo content and sample files for the course in a single zip file. In addition, files will be redundantly attached to lectures along the way. Use either or. This video discusses what is included.
Creating a new document is where it all begins. Let's open up Keynote and look at how to get started completely from scratch. We will set up the document to be the perfect canvas for bringing in our design elements without having to resize or adjust anything.
Autosave can be a confusing feature for those who are unfamiliar with it. Let's take the mystery out of it and look at how helpful it can be, along with a few warnings and workflow tips.
It's time for a tour around Keynote. We will look at the interface, where your tools are, how the inspector works, and how to get around quickly and smoothly.
The toolbar at the top of Keynote gives us quick access to commonly used tools and features. The problem is, Apple doesn't know what we want up there. Let's customize our toolbar to make it suitable for our workflow.
Sketch 3 is a very powerful and very popular UI design application for the Mac. Let's look out how to get our design assets out of Sketch so we can start dropping them into Keynote.
Photoshop is still the industry leader for UI design. Let's look out how to get our design assets out of Photoshop using the Generator tool so we can start dropping them into Keynote.
For those of you Illustrator users out there, let's take a look at some of the challenges and opportunities when preparing your design to be brought over into Keynote.
Now that we have our assets set aside, it's time we start assembling our Keynote document. We will bring in our design elements as well as layer and position them properly. This is the tedious part but we will get it done quickly and put it in the past.
Some elements are better off created in Keynote rather than being brought in from the outside. Shapes can have their styles, and proportions later animated with no loss in quality. That's definitely something to take advantage of.
Much like shapes, text has some advantages when recreated in Keynote. The text is vector and looks very clean, making changes to text will be very easy, and using text boxes in Keynote, you gain access to additional animations that are text specific. So let's rebuild our text elements real quick.
We finally made it past the assembling phase. Now it's onto animated. Before we start making deliberate animation decisions, let's first talk about Builds and the role that they play in Keynote.
Now we are ready to start adding builds to our elements and making things animate onto the page. Using builds, we will determine how things appear and how quickly these things happen. This is a big big step.
Animating can get a little hectic when we have a lot of elements. By default, our builds animate in the order that we add them to the document. This doesn't have to be the case. We can rearrange our builds at any time to be absolutely sure that we get things to flow the way we want them to.
Some builds need to happen one after the other in sequence, but many need to happen at the same time. Especially in an opening animation, many things will be happening at once. Here we take a look at the three options we have for sequencing our animations together or separately.
More often than not, between two screens, things may move around but still be visible. Here we take a look at one of the most powerful features of keynote, Magic Move. Magic Move allows us to animate the changes between two design comps with little to no effort whatsoever. It really is like magic.
Since Magic Move is so very powerful and so very automatic, let's do a quick trick to make things animate back to the start.
We've got our builds and transitions set, but it's not all automatic. We've set a number of our builds to happen automatically, but the transitions are still waiting for our click. While it's possible to set this timing to be automatic, it can be much more natural to record the timing by clicking through our presentation in real time. Let's get our timing dialed in.
You've done it! All of your animation is set and all we need to do now is produce our Quicktime video. Let's take a look at the export settings that yeild us the best result possible.
Our video is finished! Now let's add some extra polish by making it look like it's playing on an actual iPhone sitting on a desk. This is the type of thing that really brings your presentations to the next level. And it's very, very easy.
You made it! Congratulations on completing the course and thank you for being a part of it. You are the reason I do this and I hope your work is never the same.
My entire life I have been aware of one very simple principle; sometimes information vibes with people, and sometimes it does not.
I have a passion for making information resonate.
It all starts with how people think. With how humans work. As humans we have learned how to read and write and while that is incredible, we are also already hard-wired to do some things a bit more "automatically". We are animals – designed to see things things as a whole. To start with a big picture and build understanding as we break it down. To learn from the visual. The spacial. The tangible.
Information can be all of these things. The difference is design.
I am a software instructor and designer who uses the art of design to nurture effective communication. Through 5,000+ hours of face-to-face teaching for the largest software company in the world and 10+ years of exploring the visual arts, I have learned to make information work for people.
"People ignore design that ignores people." - Frank Chimero

Are you having fun with your kids?
Is your quality time filled with adventure and wonder?
Kids stories, kids poems, fairy tales and mother goose rhymes overflow with adventure and wonder.
It's the only fun way I can think of to uncork your child's imagination and release their desire to learn that will continue through life.
History's greatest minds weren't afraid to imagine.
The greatest inventions - ever invented - began with imagining.
Albert Einstein said: "Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere."
What a gift to give your child.
. . . it can all start with a simple nursery rhyme
. . . or a bedtime story
. . . or a poem.
Bedtime stories, fairy tales and folktales, kids poems and mother goose rhymes have been passed down and recited for hundreds – even thousands – of years.
Imagine that
Generation after generation telling the same stories and rhyming the same rhymes.
As far as your kids know . . .
Which we all know
In a kids' world
Is Priority #1
Albert Einstein said: "If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
Team work and its valuable life lessons are enhanced through acting in a play. Dramatic plays are the epitome of role play, which has been well documented as highly beneficial to a child's social growth.
Even kids who complain about not wanting to read are interested in the dramatizations. Plays are very hands-on. Perfect for the hands-on learner.
Introducing children to this format when they are young is a fun and easy way of instilling these valuable life skills and lessons. As parents, we take our tools any, and every, way available. A child's play is another one of those tools not to be overlooked. Why not give a play a try?
It's always a good day for a play.

Transgender man sues Catholic hospital for refusing surgery to remove uterus
A transgender man from Totowa, New Jersey has sued a Catholic hospital for refusing to allow a surgeon to perform a previously approved operation to remove his uterus.
On Thursday, 33-year-old transgender Jionni Conforti filed a federal lawsuit against St. Joseph's Healthcare System over its alleged violation of anti-discrimination laws. According to the lawsuit, staff at the St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center, which is under SJHS, had already given him the go signal for the hysterectomy in 2015 but a hospital administrator took back the approval, NJ.com details.
The hospital administrator sent Conforti an email explaining that "as a Catholic Hospital we would not be able to allow your surgeon to schedule this surgery." In the lawsuit, he said he is not trying to set a precedent by scheduling his hysterectomy at a Catholic hospital and added that he has been going to St. Joseph's hospitals in Paterson and Wayne all his life because he feels comfortable there.
In addition, the lawsuit said the hospital told the surgeon that the hysterectomy would not be allowed because its purpose was "gender reassignment." Conforti said the removal of his uterus was medically necessary to complete his gender transition, The Associated Press relays.
Conforti, who said he felt betrayed and depressed after the Catholic hospital refused to allow his surgeon to perform the hysterectomy, scheduled the procedure at a different facility three months later. Still, he is seeking monetary damages and changes to SJHS' policies, citing its alleged violation of federal and state anti-discrimination laws.
It is worth noting that the lawsuit was filed days after a Texas judge temporarily blocked the application of anti-discrimination laws to cases concerning transgender patients. Catholic League and other similar groups contend that the new rules would force religiously-affiliated facilities to perform procedures that might run against their beliefs.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue released a statement describing Conforti's lawsuit as an attack on religious liberty. He also said the issue is all about a Catholic hospital's right to be Catholic.

Admitting to yourself and to your family about problems that occurred in your relationship is not always something that can be easily done. You might be facing problems that hit the emotional spot. Before telling your family about this, you have got to make sure that this will not affect any member in any way (ex: mom gets too worried and then sick, father gets angry etc).
Your first step before announcing your family is to let things cool down. In the midst of everything, you might not see the whole picture, the fact that problems do not occur only because of one person. A couple has two people in it, people that need to communicate and understand each other. Therefore it is more likely that the problems you two are facing right now are both your fault. Let things get settled and then tell your family.
Your next step is to openly tell your family that you are going through a rough patch. When talking about your current problems do not let your feelings get in the way of communicating with your family. Do not get all angry or anxious. You are going to your family because you clearly think they have something good to say about this entire situation. And if not, at least they are the closest people to you and they are eager to hear you out.
Do not victimize yourself. Dumping all your current problems on your partner is not a nice thing to do. Accept the fact that you are both guilty of your problems. Maybe not equally, but still guilty. Saying "It's his/her fault and I had nothing to do with it" will only sever ties with your partner and your family. Nobody said that you too will break up or end you marriage, if this is the case. Word spreads around and how will your loved one feel when he hears all that stuff you have been saying about him? And also, how could you expect your family to accept your partner if you turned him to be the source of your problems?
The most important thing is to hold on to your dignity. Just because you two are having a hard time getting along, it does not mean you are not lovable, that you are a failure and that no one will ever love you. Some relationships are not meant to last for too long. That does not make you are less worthy person. Knowing when to end something that is causing your more troubles, is the bravest thing you can do. Make sure you tell your family that it was your decision as well. Problems can occur especially if your partner's values have changed. When they do not match anymore, things tend to go south. Keep in mind that you should not be hold accountable for what he or she does. You are only responsible for your own causing.

sanmig vs ginebra game 6
As predicted, game 6 between Ginebra and Sanmig turned out to be what experts with a degree in "basketballogy", a " helluvahgame". Forty-eight minutes of intense, physical and emotional battle. It is like fast chess, only painful. Each team countering the move of the other. Yes it is a "you blink you die" kind of a series. And the fans are loving it. Im not a fan of these teams but im having palpitations. Everyone had their moment. Caguioa did a caguioa, Slaughter became gregzilla "may kasama pang foul". Then there was Melton, Sangalang and barroca and of course Tenorio bounced back as expected. But what coach, player or fan wouldn't appreciate a work horse like Mark Pingris? Come on. The guy is a machine. He boxes out, rebounds, scores then he defends. He can guard the point guard, the off guard, the forward, the power forward, the center and the entire araneta coliseum. But then, again, it all boiled down to the final seconds of the game. PJ Simon took a forced shot inside the key, then with 2 seconds left, James Yap's last heave from Fiesta carnival hit nothing but air. So the Gins won and leveled the series three all. Thanks to their many coaches plus one. The Living Legend. Jawo. But that's another story.
On Wednesday its going to be an all out war. Its game 7. My fearless forecast, Ginebra will take the W. but hey I don't believe in Fortune telling. So? Ano pa? Kampihan na!! #WalangMagawaSaHapongTulala #basketballfan #followmeontwitter @kenmasilongan

I just got a new job, which is great but it does now mean I'll be working on the weekend. My boyfriend had asked me to keep Valentine's day free, I said I would, but I need this job and the money because of personal reasons.
My boyfriend now says that he's tried of me cancelling plans (by definition of plans, it's normally me just hanging at his house, not actually dates). I don't ever leave him for friends, it's always something important like a last minute lesson.
I said we can be together Friday instead. He now says I have to plan what we were doing for Valentine's day (I asked if we could have a picnic, low key, organise it together). He says I have to organise the food, activities, the basket he had asked to borrow from his family, everything. I feel like it's just a cop out cause he didn't really want to plan it in the first place.
I'm in tears, it's not just because it's Valentine's Day, I get its a commercial holiday, but I feel like this is just a cheap way to get out of it all. Am I overreacting?
Most Helpful Girl
does he have a job?00|00|0
No. For that reasonable n he says he can't afford gifts, though he went to the movies last week
Well he shouldn't be mad at you for actually having responsibilities. I agree with you, it sounds like he's trying to make you feel bad so he doesn't have to pay for anything. I hate broke guys lol. However you have been dating for a year so I wouldn't break up with him or anything. Just let him know that you would like to be taken care of sometimes also. Aka get a job

From the International Code Council
Although no one can prevent natural disasters from occurring, there are many things you can do to make the impact less devastating for your family.
Every home should have 3 key elements in place before a disaster strikes:
- Evacuation Plan
- Communication Plan
- Emergency Supply Kit
In the event of an emergency such as a flood, wildfire, tornado, or hurricane, you may be instructed to evacuate your house. Depending on the type of natural disaster, you may have to travel 20 to 50 miles to get your family to safety. Establish a "safety destination" (like a friend's or relative's house some distance away) and plan several different routes to get there so you can drive around roadblocks or hazards. Practice your plan and become familiar with each route so you will be better prepared.
You may need to turn off your gas, water, and electricity before you evacuate. Each member of the household should learn when and how to do this.
During an emergency it is usually easier to make long distance calls, so choose an out-of-state relative to be your family's "communication center." Be sure that each member of your family knows the name and phone number for this person in case you are separated. By having everyone call one central person, it will be easier for you to check on each other and reunite after a disaster.
Teach every family member when and how to dial 9-1-1 for emergency assistance.
Find out if any of your neighbors will need extra help during an emergency. The elderly, disabled, and people with small children may need you to lend a helping hand.
Whether you are preparing for an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, flood, or wildfire, you will need the following basic items in your kit:
- battery-operated radio and extra batteries
- one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
- flashlight and extra batteries
- canned food
- first aid kit and manual
- prescription medications you take every day such as insulin, heart medicine, and asthma inhalers
- non-prescription medications (aspirin or non-aspirin pain reliever) and dust masks
- large garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
- local maps
- infant formula and diapers
- portable container for important family documents
- cash or traveler's checks and change
- fire extinguisher
- matches in a waterproof container
- paper and pencil
- books, games, puzzles, or other activities for children
- battery-operated lantern and extra batteries
- blankets
- hand-operated can opener
- durable shoes and change of clothes for each member of your family
- basic tools (wrench, hammer)
- utility gloves
Place all items in a sturdy, closed container outside your home where it can be easily located. Restock food and water twice a year. For detailed information on an emergency preparedness kit, please visit the Homeland Security website at http://www.dhs.gov/index.shtm.
An emergency kit for your furry friends should include:
- food
- water
- bowl
- medication and medical records
- first aid kit (talk to your veterinarian about what is most appropriate for your pet's emergency medical needs)
- collar with ID tag, harness, or leash
- crate or other pet carrier
- sanitation (pet litter and litter box, newspapers, plastic trash bags)
- a picture of you and your pet together
- favorite toys, treats, or bedding
- blanket
- name and phone number of your veterinarian
Place all items in a sturdy, closed container outside your home where it can be easily located. Restock food and water twice a year. For detailed information on an emergency preparedness kit, please visit the Homeland Security website at http://www.dhs.gov/index.shtm.
There are many ways you can better prepare your house to withstand the effects of a natural disaster.
- Stock up on building materials such as plywood, plastic sheeting, hammer, nails, saw, pry bar, shovels, and sandbags. In the case of an emergency, you will be better off already having these items on hand.
- Prevent electrical damage by raising the level of electrical components (fuse and circuit breaker boxes, meters, switches, and outlets). This can save you from the expense of replacing a flood-damaged system, and it will help prevent fires caused by short circuits. Remember that a licensed contractor should do this work.
- Brace overhead light fixtures.
- Repair any defective electrical or gas connections. Secure your water heater by strapping it to wall studs or bolting it to the floor (this can prevent a possible gas leak and provide a convenient source of clean water after an earthquake).
- Repair cracks in foundations and ceilings.
- Bolt your house to its foundation.
- Install smoke detectors on every level of your house, in every bedroom, and in hallways leading to bedrooms.
- Use fire-resistant materials when building or renovating. Most importantly, use tile or flame- retardant shingles on your roof.
- Keep vegetation, yard debris, and any other combustible materials at least 30 feet away from your house.
- Plant trees away from your house at a distance greater than their mature height. If you do have trees close to your home, trim them to a height of 8 to 10 feet and keep them free of dead or dying wood.
- Use stone walls, swimming pools, or patios to create a shield safety zone between vegetation and your house.
- Avoid planting shrubs near your house. Instead, try alternatives like a fountain or rock garden.
- Clear rain gutters of dead limbs, needles, and other debris.

Jiāo Bǐngzhēn (simplified Chinese: 焦秉贞; traditional Chinese: 焦秉貞; ||pinyin]]: Jiāo Bǐngzhēn; ||Wade-Giles]]: Chiao Ping-chen), 1689-1726) was a native of Jining, Shandong who became a noted painter and astronomer. In painting he is noteworthy as one of the first Qing dynasty painters to be influenced by the West. He is also was among the more significant portrait and miniature painters in the early Qing. He was skilled in painting people, landscapes, and buildings.[1]
The Western influence in his art came from his exposure to the Jesuits at the Directorate of Astronomy. Their influence also exposed him to new ideas on astronomy and religion. At some point Jiao became a Roman Catholic and played a role on the Jesuit side of the Chinese Rites controversy.

Populating form fields from another formAsked by Drhewitt37 on September 08, 2014 at 12:17 PM
I was looking at your answer to prepopulating a form from another form and I am wondering if the word "your" is essential.
If I were to change Your Name to Name in both forms, would this work if I changed the Custom URL to refer to "Name" instead of "Your Name"?
How can I populate a ZIP code text box in Form 1 with a ZIP code text box in address 2
Form 1: http://www.jotform.us/form/42504452892153
Form 2: http://form.jotform.us/form/42504312953146
JotForm Support
The URL parameters refer to the field ID. So, if you change your field ID in your second form, the URL would indeed change. I did some testing with your two forms and the URL to update the second form is very close. The one part you would need to change is the zip code part:
This is how the URL should look for your thank you page.
If this still does not work for you, let us know and we will be happy to assist you further.

(Adds trader comment, updates prices to close)
* TSX ends up 301.07 points, or 2.24 percent, at 13,763.78
* All of the TSX's 10 main groups rise
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index surged on Wednesday as a jump in oil prices boosted energy stocks and investors braced ahead of Thursday's pivotal U.S. Federal Reserve rate decision.
The overall group of oil and gas stocks jumped more than 5 percent after a sharp drawdown in U.S. stockpiles.
The broader Canadian market followed suit, with just 17 out of almost 250 stocks ending in the red and most of the 10 main groups adding more than 1 percent.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index rose 301.07 points, or 2.24 percent, to 13,763.78.
"The direction is correct, the magnitude has several reasons," said Diana Avigdor, head of trading at Barometer Capital Management. She said the move higher was likely exaggerated by lack of liquidity, option expiries, overnight headlines out of Asia and the U.S. crude stockpile data.
The most influential positive movers on the index were Suncor Energy Inc, which bounced 4.2 percent to C$34.81, and Canadian Natural Resources, which jumped 6.3 percent to C$27.98.
The financials group, including Canada's largest banks and their exposure to the energy sector, climbed 2 percent.
Royal Bank of Canada rose 1.8 percent to C$74.49, and Toronto-Dominion Bank advanced 2 percent to C$53.14.
The Fed is due to announce a decision on Thursday afternoon to either end or extend seven years of near-zero interest rates, potentially relieving markets of months of uncertainty as investors have been trying to predict the timing for a hike.
Avigdor said clarity from the Fed should help push equities higher, though crude oil price volatility will remain a risk.
"It's watching paint dry for the next 24 hours," she said.
The materials group jumped 3.8 percent. Combined with financials and energy, the three sectors make up almost two-thirds of the index's weight.
"There's a sense that the Fed won't increase rates tomorrow. We'll have to see if that's the case," said Ian Nakamoto, director of research at MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier.
"If that's the mentality, then the U.S. dollar may come off a bit more and commodities may rally some more. I don't know how sustainable that is, but that seems to be what's going on currently."

Not when you're like that.This night, ironically, your face is covered by your sheets. This night, you chose not to wear your mask for a change. Your hand is also close to your face is if to be sure that nobody can see what you're hiding. When, in fact, you're not hiding anything. Your face is as normal as can be, besides from that scar dashed over your left eye -But people know of that, and beside the fac

Report summaryThe Lower Bend Shales of the Palo Duro Basin gained industry attention in 2003, driven by promising results from the re-entry of a 1950s Granite Wash well. However, subsequent test drilling in the Palo Duro was discouraging, with wells indicating that the formation is underpressured and areas with high organic content are not continuous. Both horizontal and vertical wells drilled in the play have been sub-economic. In addition to navigating the challenging geology, operators struggled to...

We loved this place. It was the only 4 star hotel on our trip through Sicily, Calabria and Tuscany, but it easily outclassed the other properties, which were all 5 star. The resort is set in a beautiful garden, perfectly landscaped and maintained. It escapes me how they keep the grass so fresh and green in high August when the whole Sicily feels like a desert. But they do. You live in simple but nice houses, each with its own terrace. Very quiet, absolutely no disturbance from the other guests. The pools (one small, one mid-size) are lovely and they never felt crowded, in spite of the August holiday fever. The staff is extremely friendly, they joke with the kids, they absolutely have the can-do attitude which you don't always find in Europe. You can see Etna from the hotel grounds and you can walk to a grocery store in Gaggi, and if you wih, you can drive to the insane hustle that is Taormina, but when you are at Alcantara, it's quiet. It was a good base to explore Etna, Taormina, Siracuse, yes we even drove to Agrigento and it was great. My only complaint would be that the pool time ends at 7 pm which feels too early. We did not know about the rule on the first evening and the kids took a swim, but no one gave bad looks, which is in line with the friendly attitude of the place. Just make it 9 pm guys.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Alcantara Resort is set in the beautiful valley of Alcantara, 7 Km. away from Taormina and very close to the magnificent gorges of Alcantara. The resort has 21 rooms, all them arranged in sicilian style and all of them are spacious and bright, classically furnished and equipped with private bedroom, mini-bar, piped music, TV with satellite channels, Internet Wi-fi. ... more less

- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Booking.com, Travelocity, Hotels.com, Priceline, TripOnline SA, Cancelon, Cheap Tickets, Hotwire and HotelQuickly so you can book your Alcantara Resort reservations with confidence.

The AV32.1 is a complete high-performance sound system that delivers deep, lifelike, full-range sound. It is ideal for use with TVs, computers, portable music players or any device that has analog or digital outputs.
The system is comprised of two compact speakers and a powerful subwoofer. The speakers each use a 3-inch high-definition polypropylene driver for accurate midrange reproduction and a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter in our exclusive OptImage™ IV Waveguide for pristine highs and precise acoustic imaging.
The AV32.1 subwoofer has an internal custom-equalized amplifier with a down-firing, long-excursion 6 1/2 -inch woofer that delivers high-impact bass down to 36Hz (-3dB). Completing the system is a compact and convenient remote control that powers the system on or off, adjusts the volume and provides a sub bypass option. This is also an ideal system for monitoring and mixdown use. The two speakers deliver musically-accurate, detailed sound so you can clearly hear what's on your mix, while the subwoofer bypass mode on the remote control enables you to do an instant A-B check of how your recording sounds with or without a subwoofer.

We know that the LG G3 is quite a capable smartphone, but little did we know that it was water resistant as well. A new video published by iTechWorld11 shows the device submerged in a sink and still functioning as usual. Remember that LG has never mentioned this feature during its announcement or in the product listing, so maybe this is merely a fortunate coincidence and not a surprise omission by LG.
Given that the feature isn't endorsed by the company, we assume water damages will not be covered by warranty. So don't take your brand new LG G3 for a swim just yet. But the user claimed that the device managed to function perfectly even though there was no rubber coverings for its ports and other openings. He did admit however that there was some amount of water underneath the back cover, but nothing too serious.
As we said, this could just be an isolated incident and we'll wait for LG to confirm if this is an actual feature on the device. But if you were looking to get the LG G3 in the coming days, this should obviously make your decision a whole lot easier.

Adventures of a Singlista: My New Year's Kiss
As the new year starts, most of us tend to take stock of ourselves and reassess our lives and our relationships. Some of us make resolutions, while others do not. No need to give ourselves the side-eye if we fall short before the next snowfall. Every article this time of year focuses on making the 2011-you a better version than last year's model. I tend to shy away from that kind of thinking. I like me just fine, thank you. I am not saying that I do not have room for improvement, of course I do, but I do not store up all my goals and objectives and vow to change certain behaviors once a year on some culturally dictated date...

Instagram video: Everything you need to know1/7
Instagram has just done the inevitable and pushed out an update for its app that includes video. It's a move that comes as no surprise, particularly given the recent successes of Twitter's own Vine app.
So how does it work? While it's a fairly basic tweak, there is actually quite a bit of depth to what Instagram has done with video. Read on to find out how you can get the most from it.
Recording video
Instagram's new video service allows you to record up to 15 seconds of video at a time. It's simple to get started, all you need to do is tap the movie camera icon on the photo screen to enter video mode. From there, you just hit record and you're away. Just like Vine, you can stop and start video by holding or letting go of the record button.
Editing video
What's unique about Instagram's video offering is what it lets you do once video is shot. Instagram is known for its use of filters and things are no different here. Launched alongside the app are 13 new video-centric filters for you to play with. These can be applied in post production to give your video that retro feel. A nice touch is that Instagram also allows you to pick a still from the video to use as the cover image for its post in the Instagram feed.
Stabilising video
Rather special for the Instagram app is it's ability to stabilise video already shot. You can go back through your camera roll and use something called Cinema, which will take any wobble or shake out of a video and give it that glide-cam smoothness that smartphone videos usually lack.
Sharing video
Once you have shot your video, then you can upload it straight to your profile, just like with stills. Instagram has been careful to change very little about its feed in order to incorporate video. As such they are embedded straight into your feed and then can be watched by others when they tap on them. The usual suspects are all available to share, with Facebook being involved naturally. Twitter though isn't allowed, that's Vine's territory.
Watching video
As we said previously, video is viewed by taping on it and is embedded into your feed just as photos from friends are. They can be commented on in just the same way as well.
How can I get it?
The Instagram video update is available now and should be pushed out as an update to those who already use the service, on both Android and iOS. If you are yet to use Instagram but fancy giving it a go, then it can be downloaded for Android here and for iOS here.

Charlotte's culinary industry is on the rise with Chef Alyssa Gorelick at the forefront.
Alyssa grew up in Charlotte and attended the Art Institute of Charlotte. She has worked in and ran some of Charlotte's most prestigious kitchens. Her culinary skills took her around the world and she has cooked everywhere from fine dining establishments to intimate settings. Chef Alyssa was the opening Executive Chef at Fern, Flavors from the Garden. While there, her passion for healthy and locally sourced cuisine grew.
In 2011, Alyssa met and began dating her now finance, Andrew Wilen. In December 2012, they formed the idea of Chef Alyssa's Kitchen. Combining her culinary knowledge with his marketing and events experience, Chef Alyssa's Kitchen now offers classes for every skill level and type of cuisine at Atherton Market, located in the South End. The classes are designed to bring people together to share their love of food and enhance their cooking skill level. The products used in her classes are locally sourced whenever possible and recipes change with the seasons.
Chef Alyssa said admittedly she misses that rush a chef has from getting through a dinner service but is feeling more fulfilled these days by being able to share her love and knowledge of cooking with her students. If you consider yourself a master chef, don't miss an episode of Top Chef, or even if you cannot boil an egg, I think you will enjoy my conversation with Chef Alyssa during my live show, Not Your Boyfriend's Radio Hour, Monday, April 4th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm on Charlotte Community Radio.
Not Your Boyfriend's Radio Hour, hosted by Amelia Coughlin, airs every other Monday from 7:00pm to 8:00pm via CharlotteCommunity Radio.org, CLTCRadio.org or Mixlr.com/CLTCRadio where you can chat with our hosts.

TRAVEL ADVISORY; Lindbergh Anniversary, Maritime Exhibition
By LAWRENCE VAN GELDER
Published: February 8, 1987
Nonstop Flight Recalled on Two Continents
Because time - and man - flies, Little Falls, Minn., and Paris, France, will be linked in celebration this year, the 60th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's solo, nonstop, 33 1/2-hour flight across the Atlantic, from New York to Paris in May 1927.
Little Falls, Lindbergh's boyhood home, situated on the banks of the Mississippi about 100 miles northwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul, will be the site of several special events during the spring and summer; Paris will be the focus of several observances, including the landing of a re-creation of Lindbergh's plane, Spirit of St. Louis, at Le Bourget airfield between May 17 and 23.
In Little Falls, where the Lindbergh Interpretive Center records the history and achievements of Charles Lindbergh and the Lindbergh family and where the restored Lindbergh Home is open to visitors, a special photo and video exhibit highlighting the historic flight and Lindbergh's succeeding 48-state tour and return to Minnesota in August 1927, will open at the center May 9. And on Aug. 22 and 23, Little Falls will celebrate the 60th anniversary of Lindbergh's return to his hometown with a two-day air show, featuring vintage and modern planes, and a re-enactment of the parade that welcomed Lindbergh back.
The Paris observances will include the official presentation and the unveiling of a bronze two-figure sculpture called ''Charles Lindbergh: The Boy and the Man.'' The sculpture is a gift from the people of Minnesota to the people of France.
Paris will also be the site on May 20 of the 1987 Lindbergh Annual Awards dinner, sponsored by the nonprofit, Minneapolis-based Charles A. Lindbergh Fund, which provides grants for projects in keeping with Lindbergh's philosophy of striving to balance nature and technology.
Other activities in Paris in May include the opening of a Lindbergh exhibit at Le Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace, the opening of a photographic exhibit on Lindbergh's life at the Hotel de Ville and an international symposium on ''Living and Working in Space.''
In conjunction with the Lindbergh anniversary, tours to Little Falls and to Paris are available. More information may be obtained from Travelways (539 East Lake Street, Wayzata, Minn. 55391; 612-475-9975). New Museum In the Seaport Of Rotterdam On the waterfront near the center of Rotterdam, one of the world's largest and busiest seaports, a new maritime museum has opened.
Reminiscent of the South Street Seaport complex in New York, the Rotterdam Maritime Museum consists not only of exhibitions housed indoors but also of historical vessels moored outdoors.
The indoor exhibits are in a striking triangular building situated on a historical site, Leuvehaven, the city's first manmade harbor basin.
And to be seen as part of the museum outdoors are tugboats, steamboats, sailing barges and a peat barge.
Inside the collection features ship models, prints, paintings, maps, charts, globes, nautical instruments and ship drawings.
There are also audiovisual and stationary displays as well as rotating exhibitions that range from ''The World According to Blaeu'' (Willem Janszoon Blaeu was a 17th-century Dutch cartographer and printer famous for a folio atlas) to ''Oil in Troubled Waters'' (about modern-day tanker problems).
The Rotterdam Maritime Museum, at Leuvehaven 1, is open daily except Monday from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.
Admission is approximately $1.25. More information is available from the Netherlands Board of Tourism (355 Lexington Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017; 212-370-7367). In Cremona, Applause for Stradivari Marking the 250th anniversary of the death of the renowned instrumental craftsman Antonio Stradivari, the Cremona Town Council - in conjunction with tourist authorities and musical organizations - has scheduled a series of special events this year.
Between May and June, the community (about 120 miles southeast of Milan) will offer an assortment of concerts under the collective title ''Homage to Cremona.''
During August, Cremona will play host to the Fifth Cremona Festival, a series of concerts by world-celebrated musicians using Stradivari instruments, and on Dec. 18 - the anniversary of the craftsman's death in 1737 - a commemorative orchestral performance will be given.
In addition, a retrospective exhibition of Stradivari instruments will be held from Aug. 26 through Oct. 7 at the Palazzo Communale in Cremona.
Plans also call for a display of Stradivari documents, scripts and scores as well as the founding of a restoration laboratory for musical instruments in Cremona. The organizers of the observance also intend to purchase Stradivari's home, for the establishment of a museum. More information is available from the Italian Government Tourist Office (630 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10111; 212-245-4822 or 4825). A Guide to Winter Sports In New York A revised edition of ''I Love New York Skiing and Winter Sports,'' a 52-page full-color guide to skiing and other winter outdoor activities in New York State, is available from the State Commerce Department. The booklet offers descriptions of the 54 downhill ski centers across the state, lists 76 cross-country ski centers and state parks where trails are marked for cross-country skiing and more than 200 hotel vacation packages for skiers.The guide also enumerates other winter sporting vacations, including white-water rafting, wilderness mountaineering, winter hiking and camping, snowmobiling and hut-to-hut ski touring.
A special section provides toll-free telephone numbers for airlines, trains, buses and car rental agencies, as well as a list of bus tours to skiing centers around the state.

Today Is April Fools Day. But First,These Are The Worst Pranks Ever! DO NOT Try Them On Your Friends. Especially Number 10 Please!
Today is April Fools Day,the day You get to prank Your friends and play practical jokes on them. Some jokes are funny. Others are downright stupid. While others are dangerous. And can lead to death.
Here's the MOST DEADLY and DANGEROUS jokes that You can possibly play on your friends today. But seriously,most are absolutely funny! And You'll laugh yourself silly while reading them. And while pulling them on your clueless pals.
But some are seriously NOT FUNNY. And You can get killed for them. Especially number 10. Worst prank ever!
Well,here are the best and worst 11 pranks You can pull today….Come with Me…
1. Leave him hanging
This goes for the ladies especially. Here's the trick…Call your boyfriend,tell him you're home alone and that you are horny as hell. He tells you he's in the office. In a meeting and that he cannot make it. You tell him,'Fine,I'll find someone else to satisfy Me'. He then tells you to hang on and escapes from the very important office meeting and starts driving over to your place. You text him,'Hurry up! I'm wet! I need You in me! Now!'. He hurrys up. And,while knocking at your house's door. You text him,'April Fools I'm in the Office,Bae…L8trz"
2. Poisoning their breakfast
Widely regarded as a generally bad joke, since the victim usually dies before you can safely point out that you poisoned their breakfast. Haha
3. Stealing their credit cards and money…
A time tested joke – you simply empty the victim's wallet of all cards and cash. Then, when out, you call them telling the you desperately need money, and your victim will thus discover all his cards have been stolen. And cash. Naturally, you should only return them once he has cancelled them all. And once he's gone really really crazy!
4. Impersonating the police…
A group of mutual friends can visit the victim's address, posing as the police. You can then claim that you have logs from their ISP that they have been downloading child pornography, and that you thus have a warrant for their computers. Later, format the computers and return them. Or never return them at all. Bad move!
5. Abducting their children.
For a truly effective gag, simply abduct the victim's children before they enter the school doors. Since you abducted them before 12:00, it is OK to hold them after this time. For maximum effect, return the children just before midnight. It is also even funnier if the children are drunk. And naked. Hahahaha.
6. Kill their pet
A particularly effective gag is to kill their pet, behead it, and then place the head in their mug. Naturally, you can make this OK by buying them a new pet; "see, it's OK, I got you a new one". Meeeoooow
7. Impersonate their doctor
A classic joke is to phone your friend and inform him that his wife has been diagnosed with an airborne strain of HIV, and that he should probably also be tested too. For added effect, tell them that the public must be notified, but they are entitled to free counseling. Free.
8. Break into their house and redecorate
A classic one is to break into their house after they are asleep, and redecorate as many rooms as possible with purple (or striped, vibrant red & blue) wallpaper. Alternatively, you can just drill loads of holes in the walls, and insert a Cadbury's finger in each. I'm telling You….
9. Raid their house
This needs to be done just as April 1 strikes (around 2am) – gather some friends and dress in military gear; one team gas grenades both floors, the other team breaks down the front door and fires rounds into the air, then quickly raids the upstairs and arrests everyone. How far you take this is your choice – some have even recommended live ammunition….Do it at your own risk. At Your OWN risk,I repeat.
10. Fake your own death
Fake your death. And text them all using a different number. Possible cause of death should be..You've had a nasty car accident. Or your wife has chopped off your balls and made soup with your intestines. Or better still,tell them you've committed suicide. And your body is still hanging at your compound's tree.
11. The Pregnancy gag
Find someone they've had sex with in the past 9 months (note, if you are reading this, it is unlikely someone will play this joke on you) and get them to phone the other party and inform them that they are pregnant with twins, and that they are the only possible father. Guaranteed to bring laughs for years to come. Or tears.
