The heats of hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons
- Citations
- 193 Downloads
Recent precise experimental work on the heats of hydrogenation of hydrocarbon compounds containing one or more double bonds shows a variation from compound to compound which can be correlated with the structure of the molecule. For compounds containing one double bond or several non-conjugated bonds, the heat of hydrogenation per double bond is nearly constant. However, in compounds containing conjugated double bonds the average heat of hydrogenation per bond is less than in non-conjugated systems due to the interaction energy between the double bonds tending to stabilize the system. This effect is most pronounced in aromatice compounds. Although the hydrogenation of benzene to form cyclohexane (addition of three molecules of hydrogen per molecule of benzene) is an exothermic reaction, the hydrogenation of benzene to form cyclohexadiene −1,3 (addition of one hydrogen molecule per molecule of benzen) is an endothermic reaction. This signifies that the energy associated with the aromatic character of benzene is greater than the energy of hydrogenation of a double bond, so that the resultant of these two effects is an endothermic reaction.

Collect POST data from a lightbox without refreshing page?Asked by LDMedia on February 12, 2012 at 09:21 PM
I am using a jotform to allow users to create new listings on my site, I have set up a page to collect the POST data and enter it into a database table using php.
I would like to make the process of creating a listing as seemless as possible, ideally returning to user to the same place they were when they opened the jotform.
Currently I am using a lightbox to minimise the number of refreshes necessary to submit a listing, but the lightbox form requires the whole page to refresh to a 'thank you page' destination to collect the POST data, from here I can set an auto refresh back to the homepage but not where the user started from.
1) Is there a way I can collect the url of the page that the user first opened the lightbox/jotform on so as to pass it along as a variable, and ultimately return the user to their starting location once the POST data is collected?
2) Is there a way to collect POST data / form submissions without using a thankyou page? So that the lightbox just closes on submission.
3) Any other ideas?
JotForm Support
I'm not sure if this is possible since running a lightbox script is completely dependent on JotForm's server for it to load.
Although it is possible to redirect back the user to the previous page by adding a hidden field in your lightbox script and have it prepopulated with the value of the page or the URL or the page. By doing this, it will also submit the value of the URL. You can then get this in your thank-you page and then use it for redirection so that the viewer will then be sent back to the page where he was when he filled up your lightbox form.
You can check out our Seyhun's last post for the code instructions on how to prepopulate your lightbox code from this thread: http://www.jotform.com/answers/13568-How-to-pass-parameters-with-lightbox
Please let us know if you need further assistance.
Greetings!We are happy to announce that we have released Jotform Webhooks, this feature would replace Send Post Data + Custom URL Thank You Page workaround in order to help you transfer forms data to your own database using your own script codes.

Title: A Thrill of Hope
Rating: K
Word Count: 3,758
Characters/Pairings: Annabeth and Sally centric, but Percy/Annabeth and Blofishipping too.
Summary: Sally reaches out to Annabeth, who finds herself coaxed into spending Christmas with Percy's family.
A/N: Christmas fic! Because I wanted to fic some of Annabeth's parental issues and also write Sally and Annabeth actually bonding, but I think what I ended up writing was some ridiculous fluffporn. (Which is not the same thing as fluffy porn, although it contains about the same amount of plot as your basic porn fic). Of course, it's past Christmas now, but if you followed me on LJ, you got this before Christmas. Which is a hint that you're better off following me on LJ if you want timely updates to my stories.
Warnings for some uncomfortable delving into Annabeth's background, if any of you have triggers for family issues.
Percy's room is chilly in the early November evening. Annabeth can't decide if it's because Percy is becoming immune to the discomfort of extreme weather, or if he's hoping that a chilly room will make her want to snuggle up to him.
It does, but that's about all they're doing. They started off kissing, and touching, happily greeting each other at the end of another school week that kept them apart more than they're really comfortable with, but while Percy's shirtless at the moment he's tucked up against her side, dozing off with his face buried in the warm space her arm makes against the pillow. She's on her laptop, entirely unsure how they'd gotten to this point, but suspecting it's ADHD related. Her shirt is still on, and Annabeth sometimes thinks Percy gets distracted trying to work off all the buttons on her school uniform Oxford shirt.
She glances at the clock. It's 6:24 in the evening. No matter if Percy is dozing now, she suspects they'll be making out again by 6:30. They're still searching for a routine with the school year messing up their schedules, but Annabeth is comforted knowing that some things never change. Percy can be distracted from her, but not for long.
As if he can hear her thinking his name, Percy stirs. "Whatcha doing?" he mumbles into her arm.
"Looking up flight prices to visit my dad for Christmas break," she answers easily, clicking the tabs between Priceline and Travelocity. She usually gets a better deal at Travelocity by entering the HERMES code at checkout, but it's still pretty expensive to fly around the holidays, even when she tries to look for flights out of Newark. Despite not being thrilled with the idea of a packed airport, she feels compelled to see her family – years ago, she wouldn't have given it a second thought, but she realized a few weeks ago that she hasn't seen them since the previous Thanksgiving, having spent her winter and spring breaks with Percy and her summer break at Camp.
Percy inhales sharply and tenses. She can feel it, every muscle pressing against her going rigid. "What?" she asks, tilting her head over her shoulder and looking down at him.
He sits up abruptly, his eyebrows furrowed. "You're going home for Christmas?"
"I was planning on it," she responds, unsure of exactly where the disbelieving look in his face has come from. "I haven't been there since last fall, remember?"
"Yeah, but," Percy licks his lips and runs a hand through his messy hair, a pouty, thoughtful look on his face. "I thought you could stay here for Christmas this year."
She blinks at him, her stomach curling. Sally and Paul are wonderful to her, and she feels comfortable in their home, but being invited as a guest? And during such an intimate family time? Annabeth grimaces. "I don't know Percy. The dorm's shut down. Only a couple of girls who don't have homes are allowed to stay."
"You can stay here," Percy says eagerly. Annabeth twists her mouth in response, and Percy must sense that she isn't entirely convinced, because he reaches out and takes one of her hands in both of his. "Please, Annabeth? You've never been in the city for Christmas before, have you? Christmas in New York City!"
She still must not look convinced – she certainly doesn't feel convinced – because Percy barrels on eagerly. "You have to stay Annabeth," he pleads, "My mom bought you a present!"
The words hit her like a wave of cold water. For a moment she sits there and gapes at Percy – and then the panic sets in. "Your mom got me a present?" she demands, sitting up straight, her eyes wide. "What kind of present? Is it a nice present? I don't have anything for her!"
Percy stares at her. Then he slowly reaches over the side of his bed, picking up his shirt and pulling it over his head. "It's – I don't know. It's a present. She didn't want me to tell you. She doesn't want anything back."
"Why would she get me a present?" Annabeth demands. The thought makes her nervous – why would Sally get her a present? She knows Sally likes her, doesn't mind her dating Percy, thinks highly of her because she's smart and a good fighter and has helped Percy, but didn't realize Sally thought of her like that.
Percy gives her a funny look. "Because she loves you," he says simply.
She's not on the receiving end of this look very often – though the gods know she shoots it at Percy at least three times a day, through text message if necessary. It's the how did you find something so stupid worth saying out loud look, and she's not used to seeing it reflected on Percy's pale skin and in his sea green eyes.
There's a feeling in her stomach – a widening pit, like she kind of wants to throw up a little bit. Some part of her wants to refuse, wants to insist she should go see her dad and his family, doesn't want to risk the potential awkwardness that would be spending Christmas with Percy's family or face the total heartbreak if the worst case scenario happens and she does something stupid and pushes them all away forever.
But an even bigger part of her wants this, wants this more than almost anything on the planet, because she loves spending time with the Jackson-Blofis family, loves their cluttered apartment and the way it's always warm and lived-in. Paul always asks her what she's reading in her literature classes, and offers advice about essays, and Sally, who's spent years working the cash register at the candy store, is a whiz at math and wants to help her with homework and sometimes it's all so normal Annabeth can scarcely believe it's real. Sometimes she's terrified she'll wake up, find herself underwater, broken of a Siren song again.
She swallows hard. "Okay," she relents, and the look on Percy's face, the way he lights up, the grin spreading across his cheeks and crinkling his eyes, makes all of her anxiety completely worth it. "Okay, I'll stay. I'll call my dad, and tell the school."
Percy's still smiling when he kisses her; instinctively, she smiles to match his, and as they fall back onto the bed together, his arms locked around her waist, she sneaks a peek at the clock.
"Hm…" Sally is murmuring as she paws through the shoe box, the sound of metal clinking softly against the buzzing of the kitchen light above them. "We have enough stars. How about Christmas trees?"
"We have one batch of Christmas trees," Annabeth replies, looking up from the rolling pin to half-heartedly blow a piece of hair from her eyes. "What else do you have?"
"Angels?" Sally asks, holding up a bell shaped cookie cutter.
Annabeth peers over her shoulder, lips pursing in thought. "Angels are nice," she concedes, "but blue wreaths might be better."
Sally grins. "Yes!" She hands Annabeth the box, and returns to the stove where she's boiling a pot of water to eventually melt chocolate in.
They've been at it all afternoon. Annabeth's Christmas break started the day before, while Percy is finishing out finals this week. Her and Sally are alone in the apartment, and have been baking since lunch. The kitchen smells delicious, and Annabeth has managed to neither put her foot in her mouth nor set anything on fire. It isn't that she's bad at cooking – it's that she's never had to learn before. Camp has always given her food.
But it'S easy, with Sally showing her. Unconsciously, Annabeth finds herself looking forward to every batch of cookies out of the oven, finds herself wanting to show Sally that they are perfect.
And it gives her an excuse to avoid Sally's questions and insinuations. Nothing too weird, like anything about Percy. But Annabeth knows adults too well, and knows exactly where Sally's leading when she asks, "Didn't you bake for Christmas back home?"
There are some things Annabeth does not want to talk about. Like about Christmas, and how this is the first time she's cared about it in years, because it isn't like camp celebrated and back home…
She picks up the rolling pin to inspect the dough, checks to see how thick it is, to see if it's ready to cut shapes out of. There's a pan covered in foil next to her, ready for her to lay the cookies on, and she realizes suddenly that Sally has gone quiet.
Annabeth turns around, and watches Sally at the stove, stirring the chocolate block as it melts. Her dark eyes are locked on the pot, the corners of her mouth quirked as she licks her lips. "My mother," she finally says, her eyes still watching her hands stir, "My mother didn't really like chocolate."
Annabeth is silent. She's never heard Percy mention grandparents before; he told her once a long time ago that Sally was an orphan.
"She liked good chocolate," Sally amends. "Homemade, from a real candy store. She didn't like the pre-packaged, store-bought stuff. Didn't even like Hershey's. She called it cheap chocolate."
Annabeth opens her mouth to say something – she has no idea what, how do you even respond to that? – when Sally continues. "When I was married to Gabe, he would always ask for these cookies," she says, nodding at the dense balls of cookie dough that she's dipping into the chocolate. "He loved these. And, you know, I wanted to keep him happy." She looks up, makes eye contact with Annabeth, and there's a strange look in her dark eyes. Annabeth is used to worry in those eyes, or warmth, or kindness, or that kind of happy exhaustion that only a mother can achieve. Sally's eyes are hard as steel, glittering in the fluorescent light of the kitchen. "But I only used cheap chocolate for Gabe's cookies."
She smiles then, and there is the warm look Annabeth is more used to. "For me and Percy, we got the good chocolate," she says quietly, a tone of satisfaction in her voice.
Annabeth bites her bottom lip, because she's thinking less about Sally Jackson, quietly separating out cookies by good chocolate and cheap chocolate, and more about her stepmother offering to let her help with cookies, and the inevitable mess as Annabeth got bored and mixed up directions and, of course, those were her brother's favorite cookies which meant it was the end of the world, and the story is right there on the top of her tongue, a dam in her chest about to overfill with water, when the front door slams open and she hears Percy gleefully inform Paul, "Cookies!"
Instead she snaps her mouth shut, and practically bolts into the living room to greet Percy, silently reminding herself to wipe up the trail of flour that follows her from the kitchen.
Sally Blofis' favorite version of Jingle Bells is the one sung by Ella Fitzgerald. Annabeth has never heard it before today, but since they've dragged all the boxes out of their storage space in the basement and started to assemble the Christmas tree and decorate the living room it's come over the stereo at least three times.
When it picked up again she turned and looked at Sally questioningly, only to be met with a small, embarrassed giggle. "It's a mix CD. Paul made it for me. He knows how much I like this song. I think it's on there five times total."
The living room is in total disarray, boxes scattered and the tree propped up in the corner. They own a fake, but Sally insists that's only because the branches from real trees aren't strong enough to hold up her glass ornaments. She takes stringing lights very seriously; there are three or four strands spread out across the carpet, intermingling and mixing colors and throwing funny shadows on the ceiling.
It's the first time her and Sally have been alone since the afternoon they baked cookies; she hadn't told Percy what his mother revealed about Gabe, nor had she brought it up again in conversation with Sally.
She's thinking about it though – it's hard not to, given the glimpse into Percy's life before he arrived at camp. It isn't like she doesn't know that he had it rough – he talked about switching schools, and living with Gabe, but she noticed a long time ago that he never really went into detail about it; he always turned the conversation back to Sally, and how hard she worked to take care of him.
"Colored lights first?" Sally asks, holding up one strand. "Or white lights?"
Annabeth considers, twisting her lips and stepping back to look the tree over. "White lights first," she finally suggests. "If you put them a little farther back on the branches, they'll give a nice sort of background glow for the color lights."
Sally looks up from the floor, considering, before she nods in agreement. "I like that," she comments, scrambling to her knees so she can reach the lower branches.
Annabeth steps to the other side to help, and as the strains of O Holy Night start wafting through the living room quietly, she takes a deep breath and says in a soft tone, "Christmas was why I left."
She hears the rustling of the branches stop suddenly; the room is entirely quiet except for Josh Groban crooning faaaaaaaall on your kneeeeeees and mentally Annabeth finds herself filling in the words along with the stereo, anything to really keep from thinking about what she's just said out loud.
Then she sees Sally's dark eyes peering at her from around the edge of the tree. "What was that?"
The strand of lights in her hand has somehow become tangled. She stares at the knot, trying to straighten it out, not wanting to see the look on Sally's face as she spills: "Christmas was why I ran away from home. When I was seven."
She's never told anybody but Thalia and Luke the entire version of this story; for most people, I ran away when I was seven because fighting freezing temperatures and horrible monsters was a better alternative usually suffices.
"It was my brothers' first Christmas," she says quietly. It was the first time in her young life she could remember not enjoying Christmas the way all the other kids seemed to; just one more way she was different from everyone else. She didn't want to be home though. It seemed like ever since the twins were born she spent all of her time at home in trouble. "And Christmas morning when we woke up to open presents my dad opened the door to let the dogs out and a basilisk got in."
Sally's eyes are big, but now that Annabeth has started telling the story she can't stop. "It tore through the house, tore up the tree, destroyed all of the Christmas presents. My stepmother grabbed up the boys and ran upstairs and left me and my dad to try to deal with it, and by the time we did it had messed up everything - our kitchen, our dining room… almost the entire first story of the house."
Even now, the part of her brain versed in architecture can barely comprehend how much structural damage had been caused to her house. It must have cost her parents a small fortune to repair. She lookes at Sally and shrugs helplessly. "I got into trouble, my parents got into a fight. I ran away the next night. That's why I ran away."
Sally looks stunned, like Annabeth's just hit her in the face, or announced that she's pregnant or something. She feels herself flush, the tips of her ears burning, when her brain orders her to distract Sally, tell her something happy.
"After Luke and Thalia found me," she blurts out, "they wanted to do something for me, so Luke stole an entire pie from a bakery window. I still have no idea how he did it. I don't even think Hermes himself could have done it, but we went back to our hideout and split the thing into three pieces and ate the whole thing in one sitting."
Annabeth is talking too loud, too quickly, and she knows it. She's Greek, she was raised at Camp Half-Blood, there were classes in debate and she's directly descended from some of the greatest orators in history, but she's talking too loud, and too fast, her voice pitched higher than normal. "I almost threw up, my stomach hurt so badly, but it was the best night ever." It actually was one of her best nights ever, one of those memories that she returns to when she's upset and cocooning herself in safe thoughts like a child might wrap themselves up in blankets.
Instead of laughing or smiling like she's hoping, Sally sits back, her knees collapsing, and presses the heels of her hands into her eyes.
Time stops.
Oh gods. Oh gods. Sally's crying, and Annabeth is helpless to do anything but watch. She's going to have to explain to Percy, and then she's going to die, and at camp when they burn her shroud Chiron will give a speech about Annabeth Chase, who took on Kronos but died of awkward when she made her boyfriend's mother cry.
Annabeth takes a cautious step towards Sally, entirely unsure if she should say something or make a break for the door, but Sally climbs to her feet and reaches for her, wraps her arm around Annabeth's shoulders and pulls her close.
She sniffles, but there is only the barest hint of a shake when she smiles and says quietly, "I'm so glad Percy found you."
Annabeth is limp in her arms. Part of her wishes more than anything that she could take back the story she's just told – but there's another part of her that's satisfied in a way she hasn't felt in years, a warmth in her chest that's been missing so long she hadn't realized it was gone. Finally she smiles and returns the embrace cautiously. "Me too."
Annabeth is woken up on Christmas morning by Percy shaking her shoulder, calling her name urgently. She groans and rolls over, spying the alarm clock sitting on Percy's bedside table.
"It's only six Seaweed Brain," she mumbles, snuggling back into the warmth of the covers of his bed. "I know for a fact your mother said you weren't allowed to wake us up until eight. Go back to the couch."
"Annabeeeeth," he whines, half-heartedly rocking against her shoulder again, "It's Christmas! Come on, get up!"
"I'm tired," she complains, her voice half-muffled by the pillow. "We were up late last night." It was true. They had a late dinner, and then stayed up telling stories by the light of the Christmas tree alone. Paul could recite from memory some of the worst papers that have ever been submitted to him, and Annabeth told some stories about breaking in new campers; they went to bed well after midnight, smiling and exhausted.
The mattress dips under Percy's weight as he kneels on the edge of the bed and slips icy fingers under the edge of the covers, against her neck. Annabeth yelps and glares at him, unamused.
He's smirking at her. "Come on," he promises, holding out a hand. "I'll make you coffee."
With a sigh she allows herself to be led from bed and down the hallway to the living room, where Percy has already plugged in the Christmas tree. Curling up at the end of the couch, she pulls Percy's still-warm pillow into her lap, her eyes sleepy and barely open.
Percy's banging in the kitchen, letting drawers slam shut and utensils clang together; she's entirely unsurprised when she hears footsteps behind her. Sally looks resigned, drawing her robe tight around her body and sitting close to Annabeth on the couch. Annabeth gives her a look; when they make eye contact she smiles and rolls her eyes. "I know, I know."
Paul appears holding a tray of coffee cups, and Percy practically dives to the floor to divide out the presents. It's hard not to be charmed at the sight of him, smiling a mile wide and tearing through the presents like a five-year old; he's completely relaxed in this moment, free of the burden of being the Invulnerable Hero of Olympus, something she knows weighs on him more than he'd like to admit.
"It's Annabeth's turn!" he declares, dropping a box into her lap. "That's from my mom."
Annabeth looks down at the box, then up at Sally, who smiles and nods encouragingly. Slowly, she lifts up one corner of the wrapping paper, only to hear Percy snort impatiently. "Come on, you Athena wimp," he urges. "Tear the paper!"
She scowls at him, but listens – a few quick rips, and Annabeth is blinking down at the gift in her lap. "An iHome?" she asks uncertainly, glancing between it and Sally.
"For your iPod, at school," she says, sipping her coffee. "I heard that the kids in the dorm put them in the bathroom. I know you're not going to college until next year but I figured you could use it now…"
Instantly she recalls Percy telling her once that Sally was taking some classes but had never been given the opportunity to go to college properly; something indescribable rises up in her chest, and Annabeth reaches to hug Sally, murmuring thank you quietly as her throat closes up.
Paul reaches over to the stereo and hits a button; the first few jazzy notes of Jingle Bells start to play, and with a laugh Annabeth sits back, pushing a lock of hair behind her ear. Percy's sitting at her feet, leaning against her knees as he examines her gift. It's comfortable in a way that almost makes her embarrassed, how right it feels to have Percy's weight against her, Sally laughing next to her and Paul smiling at them.
"Hey Seaweed Brain," she says leaning forward so far she nearly falls off the couch and pointing under the tree. "You haven't gotten to any of my presents yet, and it's Sally's turn."

I am an entrepreneur, writer, thinker and self-taught person.
I have over 25 years of experience in creating and managing various types of businesses in fields like services, software development, internet marketing and web traffic generation, and import and distribution of industrial goods. Through my experience over the years, I have acquired precious knowledge, and now I am glad to share everything I know with many other people around the world.
Although I had started many years ago with no money at all, I have gradually fought my way into business success - which had been my dream ever since I was a small child. It was an impossible dream back then, because we were living under a communist dictatorship, and there was no such thing as a private owned company in the whole country. When I was 20 and in the mandatory army service, the communist regime suddenly failed. Once I have completed my service I want straight on to set up one of the first private companies in my country. Then I have continued over the years, improving and gaining knowledge by learning, but also through hard lessons of trial and error.
I consider tenacity to be my most important quality, that helped me achieve my goals, and transformed my life from poverty to success. A few years ago, thanks to a single company, I have broken through the million dollar mark in earnings. I am currently diversifying and changing my activities, and I have decided to also become an instructor, which I intend to do for many years to come. Currently I am involved in e-learning, writing, and managing my two main businesses in Europe.
I also spend one third of my time learning each day. I recommend the same for anyone I give advice to. If you do this, I think you'll find that it is a key aspect in maintaining and growing your efficiency over the years.
My main areas of interest are management, business growth, web marketing, personal development, and of course, writing on these topics. I have a lot of hands-on experience in creating businesses, and sometimes I also design businesses and improve business plans for others. In this way I help my friends achieve their goals. You'll find many of these valuable ideas and techniques in my courses.
In my spare time, I focus mostly on personal development, as well as spending time with friends and family. I am interested in researching the foundations of life and the way we humans create our reality as we go along. I have spent most of my life trying to figure this out, and to improve myself, both in life and business.

Supernova Energy Inc. has commenced drilling on its 140 acre Antle lease in Kentucky. Three wells have been drilled to a depth of approximately 1650 feet as part of the farm-out agreement signed August 1st, 2015. Moreover, the recently drilled slugger well has been acidized to increase production. The Company plans to update the production numbers after 30 days of coming online.
Within the same lease, Supernova has initiated the deepening of an existing well. The drill depth is approximately 1700 feet and is targeting the Knox formation; Supernova has a 15% net revenue interest (NRI) of this well and bears no cost of drilling. This brings the number to 5 wells in various stages of drilling, completion and reworking on the Antle property.

What Type Of Gloves To Buy? And Where?
Business By springlakecake Updated 11 Jan 2009 , 11:18pm by springlakecake
I need to buy some disposible gloves as I am starting up my business. I want ones that fit tight. I can't have that extra finger tip getting in my way. What is the best type to get and where do I get them? thanks
If you want a tight fit then you are looking for latex gloves. O like medium size, powdered, they come in boxes of 100. I like SILKTEX any restaurant disposables supplier in your area should carry them. Their website is www.ronco.com Good luck!
Please be careful using latex gloves in the food industry, there's a lot of people allergic to latex out there. (That being said, it's often to the powder that is used inside these gloves, but it's irritating to people nonetheless.) I'm one of them and it causes my lips and areas in my mouth to swell slightly for an hour or so.
Tight fitting gloves also are made in vinyl, which is what I use. You can get them at GFS, Sysco, any restaurant supply. A friend used to buy her's (for her restaurant) at Walgreen's but I never found them in my Walgreens'.
Great, thanks. I think I too want to avoid latex. I am not allergic, but I have exposed myself a lot in the past when I was in the health care industry before they switched to non latex. Recently I have started getting allergic to my wedding rings! I gets dry and scaly underneath them. I suspect there must be some amount of nickel in them (which I know i am allergic to). I swear my DH didnt buy them out of a machine LOL! I know it could just be a matter of time to develop an allergy to latex. I think I will check with GFS then. I tried sams but they didnt have any. Thanks

Something really strange happened at the Mt.Sinai Hospital, and everyone has believed it to be a miracle. This has never happened before!
It all started with Jocelyn Robinson's rush to the hospital after she started having some complications with her pregnancy. On arrival, the doctors set about running tests and attending to her, only for them to ran an ultrasound and find the baby dead. Dr. Simpson had to break the news to Jocelyn, who could do little expect cry for her lost child. The dad, Ignacio Guzman, wasdevastated. He cried.
So the doctors forgot about the dead child and concentrated on saving the mother, and then they heard something. Was that a gasp?
The doctor quickly notified the nurse, who rushed to the baby and found him alive. Noah was alive!
Doctors have declared this incident a Thanksgiving miracle, because no one really understands what happened. This video is a special one in every respect, and you'll want to watch it and get the whole story.
Check it out and wonder, then drop us a comment and SHARE this news of a miracle with everyone you know!

NEW YORK – November 3, 2016 – USA Network's critically acclaimed drama SUITS will return for the back half of Season 6 on Wednesday, January 25 at 10/9c. Season 6 of the Universal Cable Productions series is the #1 scripted cable program of 2016 in its timeslot in all key demos.

The network previously announced that the legal drama will return for Season 7, set to air in 2017.
Season 6 returns with six new episodes, picking up immediately after the midseason cliffhanger that left Pearson Specter Litt in the hands of senior partners Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman). The pair is forced to put aside their professional ambitions and personal animosities in an effort to come together to keep their struggling firm afloat after the departure of Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres). Now more than ever, they will rely on the wit and intuition of Donna Paulsen (Sarah Rafferty) and Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle), their most trusted advisors, to keep them on track. Finally reunited with Rachel, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) re-adjusts to life outside of prison and navigates the reality that he is no longer a lawyer. Meanwhile, love is in the air following Louis' proposal to his pregnant girlfriend, Tara (Carly Pope).

Hope's Sasha Wrap
A few months ago Hope asked me if could I place an order for Techno yarn from Blue Sky Alpacas, she had fallen in love with the Sasha Wrap and wanted to knit it. When the yarn arrived we were all amazed how light it was considering it was a bulky yarn. This soft and feather weight yarn is perfect for a wrap, warm and cozy without being heavy.
Hope came in to work yesterday with her finished wrap and I begged her to let me photograph it for the blog.

"Brandi and Jarrod: Married to the Job" 10 p.m., A&E Are "Storage Wars" stars Brandi Passante and Jarrod Schulz going to get their own series?
That seems to be the point of tonight's special: gauging the viewing public's interest in a reality series focusing on the pair, who are raising two children while operating the Now and Then second-hand store in Orange.
Based on the "action" promised in tonight's show – Brandi looks for a tutor while Jarrod plans his own birthday party – I'm going to pass. Brandi and Jarrod are amusing enough within the context of "Storage Wars," but without that context, what is the point? It's like watching a show about your next-door neighbors.
Verdict: Skip that
"Fargo" 10 p.m., FX The bizarre and amusing style of the Coen brothers' movie is perfectly preserved in this "limited" series, which nonetheless introduces an entirely new set of characters. The series started last week, but it's certainly not too late to jump in.
"Frontline" 10 p.m., PBS The news magazine ventures into the debate over prison reform with "Solitary Nation," which looks at the growing use of solitary confinement in the nation's penal system. The documentary from director Dan Edge is the first of two consecutive episodes on prison issues.
"True Tori" 10 p.m., Lifetime Before we go giving people like Brandi and Jarrod their own series, we must call a moratorium on reality shows starring Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. True, the couple probably have no other job prospects, but the hit to the unemployment rate would be worth it. The latest series, beginning tonight, focuses on the pair's attempts to rebuild their relationship – something every struggling couple should do on television.

So yeah, we may hate social media, but it's also our mythical highway to Viral Nirvana - or, in my case, a gravel road shortcut with pot holes, dead-ends, construction, and signs saying "No gas for 10,000 miles," and my favourite, "Treacherous conditions. Does anyone know you are here?" But best not to worry about that. Our GPS says to take the road less travelled and it is never wrong.
Below. Oh no, oh no, oh no. I am looking normalish! Bad. This is a prime example of bland, I-can't-believe-I-ate-the-whole-thing-shock, if-I-don't-move-I-will-remember-everything, nothing-going-on-in-there posing. Who wants to see that? I can already hear screamy Frau Farbissina: "NEXT!!!" (She is from the Austin Powers movies, ex. here.)
Get your "squinch" on. I learned about squinching from New York/LA photographer Peter Hurley in his YouTube video, "It's all about the Squinch!" He's great! And he uses exclamation marks.
He didn't explain it like this, but the trick to a good face is to think about chocolate, plots, and sexy secrets. Think about ways to adapt your leaf-blower into a duster. Think about what's under Fabio's gold lamé shorts. Okay, better not. Think about how fast a train must travel if it leaves point A at 11:00 and needs to arrive at point B at 1:03 if B is 7,031 km away, and will Sarah bring apples?
I know this pose but I always called it something sleuthy or high-noon cowboyie.
If you go extreme, it can look like you have indigestion, which can happen along that lonely road.
Below I am squinching again. And again, it looks like I've got stuff on my mind: how can I fit in a couple more hours of sleep, that workout really sucked, I have to write another blog post?!
But this photo is not for demonstrating the squinch. It's to show you Hurley's next tip, which he calls, "Hold Your Sub to look slimmer in photographs!" for upper arms. The "Sub" refers to a sub sandwich about 5 feet long. This is really brilliant.
Note my upper arms. Simple flesh bags. Nothing wrong with that, but they could be better.
I didn't have any 5-foot subs left in the fridge so I decided to Hold the Broom. Just hold the broom. Okay, frig - I just wanna ride the broom. (It's an old broom and I don't know why it's still in such good condition!?)
Note how my upper arms curve inwards at the top now, looking waaaay more toned than reality. It's the best kind of non-fake fakery. I told you it's a good tip. I think Hurley really meant this pose to be for upper body photography, with the sub off camera, but why limit ourselves? We could all carry our brooms everywhere, look fabulous (at least our arms), stop sweeping our floors (check!), and open a bar called Coven.
In the next photo I am doing dramatic squinching and Holding the
Hurley has another video called "It's all about the Jaw!" about how to create a defined jaw line, which requires sticking out your neck and chin and putting your forehead forward. In real life it looks ridiculous, but it looks great in photos with young models. When I try it, I get fantastic definition too - of my jowls and string neck.
The amazing photographic 3-D effect of sticking out my neck.
Plus, sticking out a neck with poultry-like tendencies is not a good idea, especially around Thanksgiving. I suspect that doing this pose while standing on my head would be a big help, although I'd have to watch out for bags over (under?) my eyes.
And there you have it. By employing these simple techniques, soon we'll all see tons of traffic on our blogs and sit waving to each other on the backroads to Viral Nirvana. If you get a clean break, be sure to honk as you go by. I'll cluck back.
Stay tuned for Part 2 on how to dress right.
In all seriousness, I love Peter Hurley. He is funny, engaging, and knows how to make people look their best. It's good entertainment and information. Have a look.
Carolyn of blog Handmade by Carolyn was in Vancouver from Australia and we local blogger gals rallied. It was like meeting a star! - Carolyn of the handmade clothes, of the handmade shoes, of the handmade boots! Revered sewista of finished seams. She and her husband C had been travelling on the Northwest Coast of Canada and the US and, happy day, they fit in some hours in Vancouver. He took this photo of us.
We played hard in what little time we had, including a trip to some fabric shops and one of my favourite local alleys. I'm putting in this photo below so I have something to link up with Patti's Visible Monday at Not Dead Yet Style and Catherine's #iwillwearwhatilike at Not Dressed as Lamb. More photos are on Carolyn's and Barbara's social media.
It's so cool too that Carolyn was also wearing her loupe from O. We were loupe-de-loupe! See HERE on Barbara's Instagram.
PS During "brunch," we (except Barbara, driving) had grapefruit mimosas and I had bacon and egg porridge with maple syrup, the perfect drink pairing. Interesting.
Some months ago I sent photos to Marie Claire Netherlands for an article they were doing. I was very excited, naturally. And then I heard nothing. I thought they killed the story. Then on Instagram recently, I got a comment from @roosevaels saying she had seen me in there!?
I wrote to MC again and they said, "Yes, so sorry, we forgot to tell you." So I'm in the May print issue of Marie Claire Netherlands, which is happy news. Bwahaha! Along with Sarah Jane Adams @saramaijewels, Lyn Slater of Accidental Icon and @iconaccidental, and Helen Van Winkle of @baddiewinkle. HUGE THANKS to Marie Claire for including me!!!
Because you can't buy the issue now, it's from May, I'm including the piece on me below. In Dutch, I don't know what it says. "She loves smelling stinky running shoes and eating ladybugs!" Don't believe a word of it. (Bacon in my porridge was true, just that one time though.)
And that's my report, done. Yippee!! I know, I know, this could have been several posts but I like doing it in one fell swoop. I hope you made it!
This is not squinching.And I'm not really done-done - I've been to other great blogger meetups and to an excellent Slow Clothes fashion show, where Vivian, my personal style client, strut the catwalk. She was soooo good, like a younger Vivienne Westwood.
Okay, NOW I'm done!
May your days be filled with hope and good food! Also, I have responded to all your comments from the last several posts. I really enjoyed it. You guys are the BEST!

Hillary is just getting closer and closer to leaving Trump behind in the dust. The polls are increasingly moving in her favor, and he just keeps screwing up. And now she's gotten an endorsement that no one saw coming.
Paul Wolfowitz is a Republican security official who served under George W. Bush. Some call him the "architect" of the Iraq War. So he's not the most popular guy among left-leaning folks…but the fact that even he thinks Trump is too dangerous says a lot.
"He says he admires Putin, that Saddam Hussein was killing terrorists, that the Chinese were impressive because they were tough on Tiananmen Square. That is pretty disturbing… The only way you can be comfortable about Trump's foreign policy, is to think he doesn't really mean anything he says. That's a pretty uncomfortable place to be in," he said, in explaining why he could not endorse Trump with a clear conscience.

Create a Bear 4 Care
By: Chloe. F, Megan. V, and Madi. H
What is our topic??
Our topic is to help bully victims and help them get through the rough spots. We feel that a child's happiness is the most important to parents. Kids can care for their own animal and when the animal is finally ready to have the cast off, the child can take it off and the stuffed animal is ready. Your child can have a bad day at school, and come home to someone who will listen to all they have to say. These animals can even turn on a microphone from the inside to hear what the child is saying. If the bullying gets to point of suicide, the animal can call 911 right away, with or without the parent being home.
The price of stuffed animals!
Is your child being bullied??
Whould you buy this.
If you would buy this rase your hand if you raise your hand remember no one will judge you.

The Shire-hobbits, also known as Shire-folk, were the Hobbits that lived in the Shire, as opposed to Bree-hobbits and Bucklanders.
Shire-hobbits were considered the most rustic and pastoral of their kind, even by other Hobbits (such as those of Bree or Buckland). The most important family among the Shire-hobbits were the Tooks of the Westfarthing, who had held the hereditary, and largely honorary, title of Thain from TA 2340.

But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.

Toyota celebrates 30 years of 4Runner with... incentives?
- Jonathon Ramsey

Many Americans view their 30th birthdays as significant milestones, even though the average life expectancy here is more than 2.5 times that age. So you might think Toyota would be keen to party over the 30th anniversary of its 4Runner, since most models don't even live to half that age. You can put that idea away unless you consider discounts of $500 to $1,000 something worthy of cake and kazoos, since it appears that's all the birthday SUV will get. That's right, not even a trim-and-tape speci

With a rich history of creating off-road worthy trucks and SUVs and a somewhat bland impression of its brand overall, Toyota has wisely created a line of TRD Pro Series vehicles to spice up its showrooms and newly engage customers. Debuting at this year's Chicago Auto Show before rolling into dealers this fall, the TRD-tuned vehicles include the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra, all with added rough-road gear and amped-up looks.
Toyota ready to get dirty with new TRD Pro Series

To the general public, Toyota is often thought of as a maker of bland but dependable cars, crossovers and SUVs that get their owners and a whole herd of whatever from Point A to Point B. Generally speaking, they're fuel efficient, comfortable and affordable. What the general public may not realize, however, is that Toyota enjoys a very strong history of going off road, too. The legendary Land Cruiser arguably established the trend, helping explore remote parts of the globe, while various guerill

I recently took the redesigned 2014 Toyota 4Runner for a muddy romp in Pennsylvania.

Toyota reaffirms commitment to body-on-frame SUVs
- Brandon Turkus
- Jul 29, 2013
Toyota sold 121,055 Highlander CUVs in 2012, according to Automotive News. By comparison, it sold 78,457 examples of four different body-on-frame, truck-based SUVs (4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Sequoia and Land Cruiser). One could argue then, that the traditional SUVs aren't pulling their weight from a sales perspective. Yet that isn't stopping Toyota from reaffirming its commitment to a segment that has seen its former champions – Ford, General Motors and Chrysler – abandon it with alarming

Car thief caught in McDonald's drive-thru after placing order with owner
