Ryan Reynolds gives out his email address so people can get another hilarious out-of-office reply
Ryan Reynolds stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Monday night but he wasn't just there to promote Deadpool 2, he was also there to talk about Aviation Gin. Earlier this year, Reynolds became a co-owner of the company, which comes certain responsibilities, like having an out-of-office reply set up for his corporate email address. Over Father's Day, the Deadpool star made news with a hilariously detailed reply that started off with, "As the owner of Aviation Gin, I take all emails seriously. Especially ones with pictures." Since Reynolds was technically out of his office while on The Tonight Show, he decided to write another out-of-office reply.
In his new reply, Reynolds said he was "In the vicinity of 30 Rockefeller Center. Somewhere on the 7th floor. In studio 6B. Sitting on a grey chair. Lost in the eyes of Dreamy McDreamboat." He gave three reasons why owning this company is the best job on the planet, two of which were, "I get unlimited access to gin." And he also wondered whether the puppets on Sesame Street were considered muppets. All just another reason why we love Ryan Reynolds.
To prove that Aviation Gin is the best gin in the world, Reynolds even drank a cocktail of blood, kombucha, grape soda, bone broth, and blended bacon, egg & cheese, and used the gin as a chaser.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on NBC. Watch clips and full episodes of The Simpsons for free on Yahoo View.

There is a lot going on in my world. Besides my son J's issues, we are continuing our quest to buy a home that is closer to our children. I have found a wonderful Realtor that is helping us along in this process. We are set to see several homes with her on Sunday and we are very excited!
The financing is in order, I have my pre approval letters in hand. Now... We need to get a renter for our current residence. Beyond that, there us packing and downsizing to do .Looks easy on paper, but I know we do have a lot of work ahead. I am ready for it!
Update on my son's warrant. He is suppose to turn himself in this morning. His grandmother, my mother is going to post his bail of 500.00 dollars. I am so grateful that she is willing to do that for him. So I will go and pick him up at his house and take him to the jail so he can start the process. I will also go to the bail bondsman and get the paperwork started to get him bonded out. The whole process can take all day, so he might be back out tonight, or at the latest, tomorrow.
On the other hand, my husband is a HVAC tech, and during the summer he typically gets 4-5 hours of overtime a week. In the Florida heat, AC's are always needing service or repair. In the cooler months of winter he will not get overtime, in fact he barely get35 hrs a week. That is fine, it gives him a chance to get some home projects finished.
Paid 300.00 On his credit card balance is 7815.00
Paid 400.00 on my cc. Balance is 2907.00
Have not done any Christmas shopping yet... I will get that done this Wednesday.
For next year I have already set up an automatic withdrawal from our household checking to an ING Christmas Saving account so that I will be better prepared for next year.That is scheduled to start in January.
My long term savings took a hit this month. 1000 dollars for bail for J and another 250.00 to transfer his truck into my daughters name.We transferred the truck so that J will not have the temptation to drive UNTIL he gets his license back.

Fabulous Futon Ratings
The EMOOR Japanese Traditional Futon Mattress "Classe", Queen Size is my top pick for a quality Japanese futon mattress and the one I recommend for daily sleep.
This is it – the best sleep. If you have come looking to find a comfortable futon for daily sleep, the Emoor Japanese Futon mattress is just the thing. I know what you are thinking: how can a 2.5 inch thick mattress possibly be more comfortable than an 10 inch latex mattress? Before you read this review, check out my thoughts on getting the best nights sleep here. I didn't think floor sleeping would help my tricky back but it really did. Experts are starting to agree and many folks are finding it works for them too. The EMOOR futon mattress was where it all started for me and I still love it.
Let's break down the parts of a Japanese bed. There is the skikibuton (the mattress), the kakebuton (the comforter or blanket) and the makura (the pillow). While EMOOR also sell the full set, this is the shikibuton only, the Japanese sleeping mat. It is designed to be thin, just 2.5 inches thick. The mistake many Western folks make in converting to a Japanese style bed is that they choose a futon which is much thicker: 4″, 6″, up to 10″ thick. This will not be as comfortable in the long run and will be a pain to move with the added weight. So stick with a thinner Japanese bed to enjoy the full benefits of sleeping on the floor.
The Japanese mattress needs a little extra care. Take a look at my post here on how to care properly for your new investment. Weighing in at only 19.8 pounds (9 kg), this queen size beauty will be much easier to move and maintain than just about any other mattress you have tried.
Let's talk stuffing. The EMOOR Japanese futons are filled with an antibacterial polyester. Not cotton, I know, but the durability and resistance to mold is big a factor for my situation. Remember that when you sleep, natural oils and perspiration from your body end up in your mattress, so for my peace of mind, I prefer this specially treated stuffing. If you are looking for all cotton, you have some choices like this one from J-Life – the downside is the 55 pound weight. I can easily fold up move the EMOOR on my own. For those with $$$ to spend, you could go for this one from Haiku Designs Gallery: organic cotton filling, made in the USA and still only 3 inches thick.
For my money, the EMOOR Japanese futon represents great value. It is comfortable, the quality is excellent and you know it has been made properly (in Japan). The queen size is a fraction of the cost of a regular mattress. The design and price are such that if floor sleeping isn't for you, you can always use this as a mattress topper.
It has a soft cotton cover and it measures 63 x 83 x 2.5 in. (160 x 210 x 8 cm).
If you are unwilling to sleep directly on the floor or want a little less maintenance, you'll need a queen size futon frame to go with your Japanese bed, like this one from World of Futons which also folds into a sofa. I reviewed a similar one in more detail here.
- Made in Japan from high quality cotton (outer) and anti-bacterial polyester (inner)
- Easy to store, easy to carry, easy to fold away
- If you need more padding, buy two and double up.
- Dimensions: 63 x 83 x 2.5 in. (160 x 210 x 8 cm)
- Weight: 19.8 pounds (9 kg)
- Excellent quality at a great price
- Comfortable – for daily sleep, for guests or for those who move frequently
- Easy to fold away and store
- Easy to maintain – one person lift
- Made in Japan – they know futons!
- If you don't like floor living, you'll need a futon frame. See my review of a good frame here.
In short:
This is my top pick for a quality Japanese futon mattress and the one I recommend for daily sleep. Give floor sleeping a try!

The Deerwalk hiking destination was Chitlang this time around. Chitlang is located southwest of Kathmandu valley in the Mahabharat mountain range. It normally takes around four to five hours of walking to get there from Thankot – an entry point to Kathmandu.
As is customary in Deerwalk hikes, we gathered at Deerwalk office premises for this hike as well. Out of the sixteen Deerwalkers that had signed up for the hike, only eight showed up. To make matters worse, we were told that the office van would not be available for driving us to and from the starting point of our hike, as there was valley shutdown that day. We were, of course, too determined to be set back by the situation.
Day 01 : Morning drive to Thankot by private vehicle - short hike for about 3 hrs, after reaching Chitlang and enjoyable view of apple garden. Over night at the local home stay.
Day 02 : early Breakfast and hike down to the Indra sarovar lake, boating on indra sarovar lake - drive to kathmandu

TDD Like You Mean It, and LSPOctober 12, 2010
Today I essentially finished the SCNA5k Results website, using ATs and TDD the whole time! The last mile was to implement a JSON-based web service for downloading and uploading the list of runners, which took a little longer than I thought it would due to my inexperience with the tools, but overall was done fairly quickly. I can't claim to be an expert at Cucumber or Capybara or Nokogiri or anything yet but I can say that it was definitely a good learning experience.
After that was finished, Eric and I shared a
vim screen to do some pair-programming on TDD As If You Meant It. That was a lot of fun, especially when Eric's network was up and he could connect. We eventually ended up on some very reasonable code for determining if a cell should be killed or resurrected, albeit seemingly simplistic code, but that's the whole point: you get rid of your assumptions about what you think is needed to solve the problem, and you start with the actual problem domain, and work your way into a solution as bare-minimum as possible until the problem is technically solved, and with the bare minimum effort. This promotes properly encapsulated, functional code (and generally tends to promotes the Single-Responsibility Principle, from what I gather). Thus we started out with providing the solution directly in our tests, and once we noticed redundancy and shared business logic, we rafactored it (in between tests) into cleaner solution code. Overall, it made good sense and felt natural. I can't wait to try it out on a larger-scale project and see what kind of code I write to solve a problem after getting rid of my assumptions and approaching the problems with a fresh perspective.
By the way, I was mistaken about what the Liskov Substitution Principle was on my previous blog post. It's not just about an is-a relationship. It's about behavior. In fact, throughout the entire article by Uncle Bob that I read on it, the best explanation is within only two paragraphs somewhere in the middle. It basically states that an object must behave like the classes it inherits from.
The behavior is the important thing here, and it's based on Design By Contract. From the little reading I did on it throughout this article, DBC states that every function has a precondition which must be met in order for the function to run, and it guarantees a given state of the world, or postcondition.
This relates to the LSP in a very simple way: a subclass must require at most its superclass's preconditions, and it must guarantee at least its superclass's postconditions. (The article uses "weaker" and "stronger" but I find those to be less clear than this wording, which I prefer.) So for example, a Square is not a Rectangle in behavior, because its postcondition for its
set_height function would not guarantee Rectangle's postcondition that the
width property remains the same as it was before the function's execution. This exemplifies that it's not really the properties of an object that matter here, but the behavior.
Interestingly enough, I've seen this before in Cocoa. It's been satisfied by class clusters such as NSArray with its concrete, private subclass NSCFArray, which behaves exactly like an NSArray according to its external clients. (Granted, the LSP states that its internal behavior may be different, and that's exactly the point of class clusters in the first place, so that doesn't break the rule at all.) I've also seen Cocoa break the rule with Distributed Objects.
Mike Ash wrote a blog post going into detail about this behavior, specifically the point he makes where you may not add a distributed object proxy into an NSSet. It's a little different than the plain-jane C++ example because ObjC also uses
@protocols for its is-a behavior as well as inheritance, but it still holds just as well. Anything that conforms to the
NSObject protocol should work just fine being added into an NSSet, but distributed objects (instances of class NSProxy, conforming to NSObject) might throw an exception upon receiving the message
-hash, for instance, thus possibly putting the NSSet into an inconsistent state! Granted, this is arguable because there is no proof that NSSet cannot handle an exception thrown on a member's
-hash, and in fact there is no contract anywhere stating this. But given we have the rule that an object must never throw an exception from within
-hash, this principle applies and thus is broken by DO.

Here are some of the projects I'm most proud of. They were created using a variety of technologies, running on several different platforms and OSes. They're all finished products, and many of them are open source.
CleanCoders.comWebsite - Online Video Store
I wrote this web store for Robert "Uncle Bob" Martin, using Clojure for the back-end, and JavaScript for the front-end. Over the course of 5 years, I took the site from a simple three-page website to a full enterprise-ready business solution, with nearly 100% test coverage.
DocksmacOS app - Dock Utility
I made Docks in 2009 for users who wanted to swap out icons in their Dock with a single click. Its unique functionality and design aesthetic attracted the attention of Apple, Engadget, MacWorld, and led to an acquisition of my start-up by Big Nerd Ranch.
LeviathanmacOS app - Clojure IDE
While working on CleanCoders.com, a website written completely in Clojure, I increased my productivity by building a custom IDE for macOS designed specifically for Clojure projects.
ZephyrosmacOS app - Hackable Automation
This began as an experiment to see how many languages I could use to script a custom macOS window manager using our custom TCP protocol. Eventually it had bindings for Clojure, Ruby, Python, Go, JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Node.js, Chicken Sceme, and Racket, as well as other community additions.
Bubble MakeriOS app - Bubble simulator
This toy was made in a weekend to entertain my 1 year old daughter. It lets you create bubbles with your fingers, which then simulate physics by bumping into each other and falling.
Quick ListiOS app - Todo list app
When I couldn't find an app in the App Store that let me make very simple lists extremely quickly, I made one myself. I use it almost every day to organize and track my activities.
sdegutis.comWebsite - Personal Portfolio
This very site itself was written from scratch in about a day. It uses best practices for modern responsive web design, and a custom build phase to compile the sources into a single HTML file.
2048Java app - Game
The game 2048 (created by Gabriele Cirulli) is so fun that my kids wanted their own copy. So I wrote this version in Java 8, using JavaFx for attractive graphics and silky smooth animations.
MjolnirmacOS app - Window Manager
I created this app to increase my productivity by letting me move windows around in macOS using keyboard shortcuts. It grew into a community-driven highly extensible app, using Lua for its plugin system.
AffluentConfidante.comWebsite - Social Network
Implementing this elite social network gave me experience integrating both Apple Pay and credit card payments (via Stripe.com) seamlessly into web apps, for a frictionless and pain-free payment experience.
HyperChatWebsite - Live Chatroom
This isn't just any chatroom. In this web app, you can see what everyone is typing while they type it. I made this in order to scratch my itch for making real-time apps and games, and learned how to use WebSockets in the process.
BahamutmacOS app - Music Player
As iTunes went through many user interface changes, I wanted an app that was consistent, intuitive, and easy to use. So I created Bahamut, a minimal music player for macOS with a custom user interface.
ChattermacOS app - Chat (IRC) Client
This was written in 2009, before the time of Slack, when IRC was the main way for programmers to get short-term assistance from each other. Its purpose was to be a beautiful app with an emphasis on simplicity and usability over technical power.
AppGridmacOS app - Window Manager
This is an app I actually use every single day. It lets you move windows with global keyboard shortcuts. Since it uses Vim-like key bindings, it should feel pretty natural to any programmer. There's no configuration needed; it Just Works™.
HydramacOS app - Lua window manager
As an evolution of Phoenix, Hydra was my first attempt at embedding a full Lua virtual machine into an Objective-C app, to make a lightweight and efficient window manager that focused on speed, low memory usage, low CPU usage, and overall being gentle on laptop batteries.
PhoenixmacOS app - JavaScript window manager
As an evolution of Zephyros, Phoenix was my attempt to use Cocoa's native JavaScript bindings to make a more lightweight and efficient window manager, that focused on speed, low memory usage, low CPU usage, and overall being gentle on laptop batteries.
Smaller projects
These may be tiny, but they're interesting technical feats.
|Swift framework for embedding Lua with a native Swift API.
|Command line fuzzy-matching tool for macOS that uses a GUI
|Command line music daemon for macOS that only speaks JSON
|Command line text editor with an embedded Lua plugin system
|Window manager for Windows using Clojure for scripting
|Minimalist EC2 configuration & deployment tool in Ruby.
|Assertion helper package for writing tests in Go.
|Go library for printing shell-attributed strings to stdout.
|Objective-C based testing framework with Xcode integration.

Normal is the new mad
I really was on a roll last night. I was tired, but felt I was onto something. And then my phone, often my writing tablet and cause of many a typo, honked at me and distracted me with a bunny. And not just a bunny, but a cute bunny chomping on cilantro. All brilliant thoughts were pushed out of my little head by the hypnotic rabbits eyes and consistent and effective chomping method. It sent me into a somnambulant bliss.
But that's the big question about normalcy. What does it actually entail? it's criterium, purpose, standards? I am sitting at my kitchen table tired and feeling like not doing too much. And yet it's Monday morning, the sun is shining and it is beeeeeeeayutiful out. But I don't feel like running outside with my arms wide open saying "Day! Take me on an adventure!" Nor do I feel like emulating said rabbit and attacking porcelain like a dedicated industrious worker rabbit. Nah, I just feel like sitting in my kitchen, drinking coffee and perhaps doing another crossword. And this feels totally normal to me. It isn't laziness as I worked all weekend, just a time for me to quietly enjoy the sounds of the day and week starting
As I've written before so much of what I am doing now is trying to find and build a life and work system that suits me. In some ways I can compartmentalize, but in others there is so much overflow between work and passion and identity. That has been one of my biggest concerns venturing forth as a business owner. It may not work. I may not have been dealt the right hand for this. And if that is the case would my identity as an artist be crushed? Would I lose myself? Perhaps this reads as a really negative or pessimistic view, but it is not. What I am doing and the manner in which I am going about it feels correct. And it would be incredibly stupid and naive to not consider or accept that failure to have it become sustainable may be a reality. I don't think that any of the negative things I have thought of and fear will occur. Especially losing or rejecting the part of me that is the artist. That is so deeply embedded in me that I just must make. My favorite times at shows are when small children or young children come and are curious. They have a conversation with my work and i love it! Or the lady who came by yesterday saying 'I can't buy anything, but really wanted to just come and look." YES!!! Come! Look! Have adventures!!!! A friend was telling me to think about signage as a way to draw people in and as I had been thinking similar thoughts that should be something I start to do now so it is ready for my next sale.
And I digress. A lot. Normalcy. This feels normal. This life that I am leading. It is working. I have some set parameters and I work within them. I did lose myself when I stopped making. In a scary way. The more I come back into myself and fill my skin the more I realize how I knowingly and unknowingly was absent from it for too long. It is humbling and will remain humbling for quite a long time. It is also a kick in the ass to use my talents and skills and passion and love to make me work as best I can and share what I can of myself with the world.
So Internet buddies, I have rambled on for a bit. Which is, sadly, also normal. Ha. I guess the point of all of this is I think Normal and Weird are silly criterium. The idea of classification being necessary to fit your life into societies. It's the whole path less trodden. It is your path, no one but you has trod on it period. We all do fit into certain paradigms, but those not define the entirety of our selves.
Anyway, apparently the cilantro didn't taste like soap as I have happily taken over the comping for a bit. Now, I'm off to do something. Til tomorrow!

Basically dart games are played between two players or two teams. The teams can be made up of two or more people each. Variations that allow for more than two sides have been devised, but these have not achieved any popularity. Nine throws are generally allowed for each person as a warm-up before a game
Varied Rules for Darts
The two most popular games played by dart players around the world are "301" and "Cricket". "301" is the most obvious. Each side begins with 301 points and throws their darts in an effort to reduce their score to zero. Denleys Butchers Supports this SiteBefore points may count a player must first hit a double.

text: The Khartoum rally was to celebrate former rebels' return Some southerners in traditional dress carried shields and wore ostrich feathers, but most wore urban attire – jeans and T-shirts – at their first rally in the capital in more than two decades. "Peace, oh yes, new Sudan, oh yes," the crowd of around 10,000 people chanted on Wednesday as leaders of the Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement (SPLM) gave speeches. The highest-level delegation from the former rebel SPLM since civil war began in 1983 arrived in Khartoum last weekend to begin forming a coalition government after signing a peace deal in January. Celebrating peace "Peace has dawned at last in our war-torn nation," said the delegation head, SPLM secretary-general James Wani. "The SPLM did not come here just to take up 10 or 20 ministerial posts. We came here as a movement for change - this is the new Sudan" Yasir Arman, southern rebel leader Senior SPLM official Yasir Arman said they had come to unite Sudan. "The SPLM did not come here just to take up 10 or 20 ministerial posts. We came here as a movement for change - this is the new Sudan," he said. Many in the crowds were ecstatic at the arrival of the delegation, whose first major task will be to form the new constitution. "We have met them again after 21 years of absence," Manshur Malwal Kwot, from oil-rich Abyei, said. "This new government will be one of participation, to include all the groups – not like now." Civil war The southern civil war broadly pitted the Khartoum-based government against rebels who were mostly Christian or practised traditional animist religions. The rally marked the first politicalmeeting in Khartoum in 21 years The war claimed two million lives and forced more than four million from their homes. Despite the peace deal, the United Nations said on Wednesday that a UN-chartered plane had been shot at while landing near Juba on 2 April by unknown men. And not everyone in the crowd was happy with the peace deal, which gives the south a right to choose secession after six-and-a-half-years. "I don't want this peace," said Simon Njok. "I want separation – I have lived through betrayal here in the north". The southern peace deal does not affect a separate conflict raging in the western region of Darfur. SOURCE: Agencies

Poisonous Plants and Foods for Dogs
The prospective dog owner plans ahead for their new dog. The seasoned dog owner knows that not everything can be planned for. But it is possible to plan ahead for a very serious and common emergency - poisonous hazards for dogs.
There are many toxic foods and plants for dogs. All of the toxins that affect dogs are too numerous to mention in an article so it is best to research anything you aren't sure about. Ask your vet or check with an animal organization like the ASPCA.
Some Inside Plants Poisonous to Dogs
Holiday Hazards For Dogs
The holidays are a very hectic time for dogs and dog owners alike and it's easy to miss some of the plants and foods poisonous to dogs specific to that time.
Though there can be signs that are specific to each toxin, the most common are:
If your dog is exhibiting any of these symptoms or even if you just suspect he ingested something toxic, call a pet poison hot line such as the ASPCA (1-888-426-4435) or the Pet Poison Hot Line (1-800-213-6680). Your local ASPCA might also have a hot line.
If possible, have someone simultaneously call your vet or the emergency vet. They can tell you what to do immediately and prepare for your immediate arrival.
There are home remedies out there such as charcoal and sodium sulfate but it is best to get professional advice before administering these.
An Ounce Of Prevention
Clean House: The first thing to do is take an inventory of all plants in your house. Remove all plants that you know are hazards for dogs as well as those that you aren't sure about. Also, check your cupboards for toxic foods and place them high up with the cupboard securely closed.
Keep a List and Check It Often: Keep a list of toxic foods and plants for dogs. Be sure to check back regularly with your vet and online sources for the most up-to-date information. Some good resources are the ASPCA, the FDA, and the Humane Society. Also, keep a list of a pet poison hotline, you vet's number and an emergency vet number by the phone at all times.
A Dog-Safe Home: It can seem daunting when you consider how many food and plant items can be hazards for dogs but with a little preparation and diligence, you can have a dog-safe house, inside and out.

Hi, my name is Terry. I manage this website for my furbaby, Daisy. When I first became interested in the Shichons, I found it was difficult to get information on them. A few sites, I am using for information are excellent sources. Then, I moved on to compile and share more information on choosing a good breeder, grooming, health, behavior, training and much more. I hope you enjoy this site and find it helpful. I am NOT promoting any information, just sharing. You and your vet know what is best for your baby.

Did Dark Matter Make The Early Universe Chill Out?

Scientists have probed a period of the universe's ea rly history that no one has been able to explore before â" and they got a surprise: It was far colder in the young universe, before the first stars blinked on, than astronomers previously thought.
What's more, that cosmic chill may have come from previously unknown interactions between normal matter and mysterious, so-called dark matter, according to two new reports in the journal Nature.
If so, it's the first time scientists have observed any effect of dark matter other than its gravitational pull.
All of this comes from an experiment that detected a faint radio signal from primordial hydrogen gas in the young universe, just 180 million years after the Big Bang.
"What we've seen is the evidence of the first hydrogen at a point where the stars are just beginning, the very early stars," says Alan Rogers, a researcher at MIT's Haystack Observatory.
In its first days, the universe was dark and filled with hydrogen. Some of that gas then coalesced into stars that began to turn on and light up, affecting the surrounding hydrogen gas and producing a telltale signature.
To detect this extremely small signal from the universe's younger days, Rogers and his colleagues used an instrument with a radio antenna located in a remote, "radio quiet" desert in Western Australia, far from any cities, radio or TV stations, or cell phone networks.Enlarge this image

A couple of years ago they started to see a signal, but it wasn't what they expected.
"We work with theorists, and we know what theorists expect for this signal produced by the first stars. And what we were seeing was different," says Raul Monsalve of the University of Colorado, Boulder. "Specifically, it was a larger signal."
The most probable explanation was that the hydrogen gas back then was twice as cold as the theorists had predicted, at a temperature of about minus 454 degrees Fahrenheit.
"It did get me excited, but nonetheless a t that point I knew â" we all knew â" we had to do multiple verification tests," says Nivedita Mahesh, a graduate student on the team.
As months passed and the result kept checking out, the scientists began to wonder what could have been cooling down the gas back then. Judd Bowman of Arizona State University shared the odd findings with Rennan Barkana, of Tel Aviv University in Israel.
"I was a little bit skeptical â" it was a big surprise," says Barkana. "I mean, the strength of the signal was outside the large range of possibilities that people were thinking about before."
About 24 hours later he was in the car with his wife, going to her parents' house on a Friday afternoon, telling her about this puzzle. "Then it hit me that there's only one candidate for some component of the universe that can actually be even colder, and that's dark matter," he says.

"Dark matter is a very big mystery," Barkana says. "We know it's most of the matter in the universe, but we have no idea about its properties."
Scientists only know about dark matter because they have observed the effect of its gravity. "Other than gravity, we haven't had any clues," he says.
He began to think about dark matter in the context of the first stars, and did some calculations. His work suggests the hydrogen gas could be cooled by interactions with dark matter particles that are relatively light, as opposed to the heavier mass people have been theorizing.
"The idea that a detectable radio signal from the cosmic dawn can be connected to the particle properties of dark matter suggests a potentially revolutionary angle for exploring fundamental physics," Lincoln Greenhill of Harvard University wrote in an opinion article for Nature about the new work.
Everyone agrees that another group working independently needs to confirm the existence of this radio signal from the early universe. "It's very important that this whole result we've got definitely needs to be confirmed, absolutely," says Rogers.
But if the temperature discrepancy holds up, then the argument over what explains it can really begin in earnest. "It's a really, really interesting result, and a very exciting one as well," says Katie Mack, an astrophysicist at North Carolina State University. "This was not something that was predicted by any of the usual astrophysical models."
With th e exception of the afterglow of the Big Bang itself â" the cosmic microwave background â" this observation marks the farthest back in time that scientists ever have been able to investigate, says Mack.
"It's the earliest detection of any kind of astrophysics, ever," she says. "This is a signature of the very first stars in the universe, and the very first black holes in the universe. This is way earlier than anything else."
The idea that dark matter might play a role makes this even more intriguing. "If that's the case, then we've detected the first non-gravitational interaction between dark matter and anything," says Mack, who says this may turn out to be the first evidence that "dark matter does anything at all other than sit there and gravitate."Source: Google News US Sc ience | Netizen 24 United States


text: One thing to remember is that you cannot use normal Doppler correcting software that tunes the radio. The instantaneous radio steps cause Phase discontinuities and that completely destroys PSK31. The only ways to work well is to only try to decode when the bird is coming right at you or right aways from you and the Doppler is not rapidly changing. *** OR *** use the special PSK31 Doppler uplink correcting program written by Andy Flowers found on the PSAT web page… http://aprs.org/psat.html Here is his page: http://www.frontiernet.net/~aflowers/dopplerpsk/dopplerpsk.html This software also allows you to run full duplex so that you can uplink continuously throughtout the pass and independently receive all downlinks at the same time. The radio does not tune, but your uplink audio compensates for the uplink Doppler so that your trace in the downlink appears constant to everyone. Yes, you can run UHF Radio stepped Doppler correction that steps down in the usual 5 KHz steps 4 times during the pass. You may still loose an instant of phase corrupted characters, but only 4 times, not every few seconds as the SSB radio would try to do if the computer program was trying to compensate the SSB uplink radio. That help?

By John S. McClenahen This week's much-anticipated U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Norfolk & Western Railway Co. v. Ayers (No. 01-963), an asbestos liability case, seems solidly to have gone against business. The court said six railway workers who had developed asbestiosis could sue for damages under the Federal Employers' Liability Act because they feared developing cancer. However, in her majority opinion Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reiterated the Supreme Court's position that the "elephantine mass of asbestos cases . . . defies customary judicial administration and calls for national legislation." And that encourages Jan Amundson, general counsel for the Washington, D.C.-based National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). "With the high court again calling for legislation, and the ABA [American Bar Association] recently endorsing 'medical criteria,' there appears to be a growing momentum for Congress to act," she says. "If we're to avoid a $200 billion to $300 billion economic catastrophe and the bankruptcies and job loss that will be a part of it, federal legislation is the only solution." Two asbestos liability reform bills are pending in Congress: H.R. 1114, sponsored by Rep. Mark Steven Kirk, R-Ill., and S. 413, sponsored by Sen. Don Nickels, R-Okla.
NAM Encouraged By Seemingly Anti-Business Asbestos Court Decision

Up in Yellowknife, the average high temperature in January is -22. The average low is -29. At sunrise this morning — which is 10 a.m. — it was a balmy -15.
What's going on here? It's all part of the "polar vortex," the "arctic hurricane" which is sending the temperatures from Yellowknife to more kindly locales.
Today, a Time editor suggested it's part of global warming/climate change, which ought to be a tough sell at the moment.
None of this should be terribly surprising, we're told, since climatologists have been saying for years that this was coming.
"Where's your global warming now?" a friend posted on a social network this morning.
Right there out your front door.

Both men and women have unwanted hair on your body. Tony Parker oftentimes addresses this issue. Everyone wants to be fresh and energetic. It can be done in a series many ways depending on the level of body hair. It was found that about 80% of women and about 50% of men go for hair removal in one form or another. Facial hair removal is more popular among men and women. The removal of hair on the hands, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, face, and eyebrows are a common practice in those days. Athletes go for hair removal, and will reduce wind resistance and improve their competitive speeds.
There is a report saying that hair removal salons are getting more and more men customers for removing hair. Different devices are used for hair removal in different parts of the body. Shaving, waxing, and electrolysis are the preferred methods for permanent removal of body hair. Laser treatments are also used for permanent removal of body hair. The wax is a method of hair removal in which wax is applied on the hair and then a cotton strip is rubbed on the wax in the direction of hair growth. Waxing and sugaring are done for male body hair removal. Waxing removes hair from the root and hence the regrowth of hair in the area of eliminating takes between 6-8 weeks. After the hair removal wax, hair grows but is thinner and more sparse in the area.
There are not many hairs in that area. After hair removal the hair may be more permanently. The use of a hair growth inhibitor after the male body hair removal through waxing is usually done to reduce the growth of hair in that area. Then the cotton strip is removed in the opposite direction of hair growth for permanent removal of body hair. Addition of sucrose is also a method used for permanent hair removal. The difference is the sugar paste instead of wax for removal. If a person is using wax or sugaring are advised to use a hair growth inhibitor after the removal of hairs to prevent hair growth or stop hair growth. Most sports people who participate in sports like swimming and cycling opt for permanent removal of body hair, as the permanent removal of body hair could improve its speed, reducing air friction. There are many devices that are used for permanent removal of body hair. Each device comes with its own functionality and ease of use with a price that is affordable. Laser treatments and electrolysis to remove hair permanently from the skin. In these methods the hair follicle is destroyed so that the hair does not grow again. Electrolysis method uses needles to supply power to the hair follicles. This electric current creates some chemical changes or generates heat to destroy hair follicles. In laser treatment the laser beams are directed towards the hair follicles to destroy it. Laser treatments are expensive compared with other methods of hair removal.

I received an email from he Director of the The Wasmer Gallery at my Alma Matter, Ursuline College about featuring some of my work at the Alumnae Art Exhibit, as part of Alumnae Weekend, for classes ending in '02 and '07.
Needless to day, I was very excited to be a part of this awesome event and decided to feature two of my favorite images I have captured. These two pieces are very special to me and represent the more artistic side of my portraits. These nature shots are unedited, and captured with my Sony A58.
Proud to also have one of the photos featured on the exhibit invitational post card!
The water drop I captured, was at Coe Lake in Berea, Ohio. Though the bush is no longer there, I was able to capture this while sharing some great memories with my cousin Pebbles, during one of our summer photo trips.
The first portrait I'm featuring reminds me of the scripture in Psalms...
Psalm 42: 1-2
42 As the deer pants [longingly] for the water brooks,
So my [a]soul pants [longingly] for You, O God.
My soul (my life, my inner self) thirsts for God, for the living God.
When will I come and see the face of God?
The second portrait I'm featuring is of a small bettle resting on a beautiful pink flower. There is so much beauty in nature. Can't wait to go out and finding new subjects this summer.
So thankful for this opportunity. It inspired and reminded me of what I love to do... capture lasting imagery.
The show will run from Friday, June 16th through Friday, July 21st, 2017
Ursuline College Art Alumnae Invitational Exhibition
Florence O'Donnell Wasmer Gallery
Please stop by to see my pieces along with other great art and fashion entries by fellow Ursuline Alumnae.

I admire people who know for certain that they are 'bitten by the travel bug' or that they have 'itchy feet'. Me, I am less certain. Each time I have to pack my bags to go away somewhere for a few days, I sigh at the general upheaval of my routine, I don't look forward to the endless mounds of laundry that will greet me on my return or the jet lags or new pillows I have to get used to. It goes without saying that I enjoy new experiences but equally, I enjoy coming home and seeing the familiar with renewed eyes.
This blog is not a travel blog but one that attempts to capture all that I see and encounter on my various sojourns, both locally and abroad. At present, I am fortunate enough to live in a stunning part of mainland Europe from where I can reach different countries by road in a matter of a few hours. And I plan to take full advantage of this during the few years that my family will be living here.

This sexy strumpet shows what under her suit.
You know some of these office girls are dirty bitches. Hell, I dated some girl who wanted me to come into her fancy office at night and fuck her on top of the conference table and have all the cum drip out of her pussy so she could lick it back up. If that's a story I can tell, I am sure the world and the internet know of a lot more and a lot kinkier girls. Did you ever think about boning the secretary, or someone you met through work? Despite how appropriate they look, or act, one fact is certain; they fuck. If people didn't fuck, I wouldn't be here typing. While not all of them are sexy, kinky bad girls; some of them are. Which are they? That's the game isn't it? If I saw this girl, I'd have to think the black streaks in blonde hair point towards dirty strumpet. To me, garter belts and thigh highs will always be sexy. Do you want to play, I'll play.
This lanky brunette gets bound hard and tight. There is no way out, and she is spread open and gets subjected to all means of kinky delights, tortures, and pleasures. Clamped, caned, ass filled. Ohh.. she is in for it alright.
She turns out to be one talented bitch; I wonder if they knew before the shoot, or did she just impress them on the spot. She can fetch and give good deep sloppy blow jobs. Leash sex delivers the hard action as usual. Shampoo in her dog collar and leash gets fucked good and hard after she is done playing around.
Face down ass up university shows off the best of their sexy babes spreading. These girls are hot. Who doesn't love a cute college babe? These girls are all sexy little sluts; plaid skirts, fuck me heels, ruffle socks, and all of them spread wide. Just be there waiting for me, exactly as you are.
Spread it for me baby.

Art Restart Blog
Have you heard about Art Restart? October 31, 2016 09:02
Have you heard about Art Restart?
You may have heard about it through The Gathering Place, or maybe someone sent you a card that prompted you to look up the organization on the back. Regardless of how you got here, welcome!
For me, the new Business Development & Marketing Associate for Art Restart, the program came into my life through word of mouth. Living in Denver, there is art running through every neighborhood. Commissioned murals on the sides of buildings and monthly art walks make art part of our everyday lives.
But who are these artists? Many of them have no formal art training. Many of them make art on the side and work full-time. Many of them have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives, or are currently homeless.
Walking into the art studio at TGP for the first time, I felt welcomed. It was like I entered a café where artists occupied every space with their art materials strategically organized to create one-of-a-kind handmade pieces. The artists measured, cut, glued, painted, and drafted designs for The Card Project while they chatted and enjoyed the space.
One of the artists walked me through The Card Project process. Although separate from the cards sold through Art Restart, this is often where greeting card designs are created. Three times a week, artists can use the art studio to work on designs for cards to sell at TGP, through our vendors, and online with Art Restart. They're given card stock with TGP's logo on the back. Then, they create. Once they're finished, each artist puts their cards in their box to display on the shelf. Some of the cards are unique designs that you'll only see once, while others are recreated to make a set. Artists can choose to submit their card designs to Art Restart and have the opportunity for their art to be turned into traditional greeting cards.
As I looked through the boxes of cards, I was astounded. The members at TGP are talented. There is a card for every occasion and then some. Whether you're looking for a pressed flower design, Colorado scenery, or even Judge Judy, you'll find it in the artists' boxes.
Receiving mail and selecting a card with a beautiful design is uplifting. With Art Restart, sending mail is just as uplifting as receiving it.
Teresa, the Director of Art Restart, says, "Art Restart allows our artists to be who they are now and also provides a path to who they want to become." The energy in the art studio embodies this.
If you haven't heard about Art Restart, it's time to check it out.

Attack of the Killer Ants
Morning comes to the van as the sun rises over the treetops surrounding our campsite. The small trickle of light slowly increases until shafts of brilliant sun are warming our toes through the window and onto the light bed sheet we use as our cover against the odd mosquito that may stray into our domain. As the light streaming through the window starts to hit my still closed eyelids, my brain triggers in recognition and I am awakened to the morning sun as I am most mornings. Bleary eyed I perceive Missy who is always sitting by our feet looking out at the birds and other interesting movements that seem to occur at this time of day. An itch on my arm distracts me for a moment and I remember the odd feelings of Mosquitoes during the night, but they couldn't be, as we normally hear the nasal drone as they pass above our heads. A little black spot, like a bit of fluff or dirt is in my hand and at first I don't recognise it.

Always Trees and Always When You're Tired
Moving down the coast from 'Lagoa de Melides' we decide to split the journey between here and Sagres the eastern most tip of Portugal. I only hope that the place has no affinity to the cat's piss of a fizzy pop beverage of the same name that the Portuguese try to pass off as a lager. But more to come on the beer dessert we have here in this area of the world, as I do have one small sparkle of sunlight to share. Only a small glint of sanity but it was my only recourse and was a far cry from anything remotely available in Spain. But back to our story and our journey from a happy camping experience to utter hell. We leave 'Lagoa de Melides' on a hot day and around noon and head off to our first of two available campsites via the back roads along the coast. We pull into the first site only to be confused as it seems our Sat-Nav has taken us to a construction site as opposed to our chosen campsite. As I start checking the directions Frances spots the camping site sign and points it out to me, it seems we are actually in the right place, but you would not have believed it. The reception seems open and as we turn into the site another campervan is pulling off and out onto the main road. You can never tell with these sites and we decide to check it out as we thought that we may get a discount.

Heading for Cork on the Portuguese Coast
A Grove of Cork Trees.
Regretfully we finally leave Serpa and head for our next port of call which is Beja. Not a town on our list for a tourist visit, although as you approach the City you can't fail to notice the 13th Century Torre de Menagem, the keep of the original castle built by Dom Dinis. But we were there for the large shopping complex near the campsite and the mobile phone shop within, that was to provide us with our internet access for Portugal. Whilst it is not a great deal, TMN does provide a dongle to allow connection to the internet for €25 a month with a 1GB limit. But it is Prepay and you do get access to all of the PT hotspots within the country for free, with unlimited download. The process of purchasing was harder than my time in Llelida, as the girl spoke no English and my Portuguese was non-existent. But I finally walked out of the shop with a modem firmly in my grasp ready to experience the delights of TMN and banda larga. Seems this new fangled OS software Windows 7 is new to Portugal and its national telecom company as of May 2010 and support for it is rather poor.

Language Learning Technique or Poor Product?
I know it's our blog, but that doesn't stop us from asking you guys for feedback does it?
I am trying to think how I need to pose a question I have in my head and cannot seem to express myself very clearly, so I guess I will ramble a little and maybe in doing so I will in the end be able to form a comprehensible question around the issue I have.
When I first started learning Spanish 6 weeks ago, I started by buying BKYI deluxe 4 as a starter program as I like the flip card and picture association. But as I get better at Spanish, by listening to my growing collection of DVD's Music CD and audio books and ANKI (Thank you for the pointer Ramses) as an immersion technique, I am finding issues with some of the translations within the BYKI program.

Nana P Diary Part 7
Hi Baby Jessica,
Now we are in Portugal, again one thing came to my mind to remind me of you and to tell you about it. No big deal, but my thoughts were with you and I could almost see you in my mind. We parked outside a children's nursery so Grumps could walk to the Library to try his internet access which, didn't work. Anyway being stopped outside the nursery, I saw loads of very young children going for a walk together with their teacher or minders. Some of them were as young as 12 months old and were tottering along on their new found feet all dressed in same coloured smocks and holding hands to stay together.

The Magic of Serpa
A Beautiful Welcome to Portugal.
We leave Seville on a Sunday and wonder as we head out of Dos Hernandas via the ring road, whether we should have looked for a petrol station before leaving town. Our lack of knowledge of the town and the thought of a service stop along route won over and we leave Seville behind us. The further we got away from the town the bleaker it looked as we saw no signs for services and fifteen miles out the red light finally comes on the dashboard, blatantly telling us we should find petrol. Tapping the TomTom for gas station POI's, I note one a few kilometres on and sure enough as we come around a curve in the highway we spot a Repsol sign towering high above the landscape just off of the next junction. Pulling off we find an open petrol station ready to serve a full tank of diesel to us. Why I wonder do we seem to wait until the last minute to fill up with petrol? It seems a bad habit with me anyway and whilst it may be a fairly safe thing to do it the UK, the distances in Spain are that much larger and the Spanish still closed on Sundays. Make a note to oneself, fill up when you get to a quarter of a tank, it's a lot less of a worry than hunting for an open petrol station in an area you don't know.

The Sanitisation of Britain's Meat Eaters
The classic Irish Crubeens, But No Cabbage.
A slightly off topic post, but one that I feel needs to be mentioned. I love to cook and as such enjoy the local shops, markets and supermarkets that I visit looking at all the wonderful ingredients on offer. I have come to realise that the supermarkets in the UK have been sanitising our shopping experience to the detriment of our children. Walking around the supermarkets of France, Spain and Portugal, I have already mentioned the beautiful array of seafood on offer. But I also want to advertise the beautiful array of meats and other produce I have seen on offer as well. Like the heaped snails on the local market stall in Spain, slowly moving around in their large container, scooped up and packaged fresh by the market holder for the eager customers. The dressed and presented cow tongues and sheep heads ready for purchase and the lamb brains neatly placed on show within the meat counter. The tempting crayfish snapping and crawling around, as fresh as they could possibly be. The hanging poultry and whole rabbits on show as if they had just been butchered fresh for consumption.

Seville is Not Just Oranges
Parque de María Luisa.
For our foray into Seville we stayed in Camping Villsom in the small town of Dos Hermanas. It was the nearest we could get to Seville and be able to obtain a bus into the town centre. We arrived early and parked right near reception to take advantage of the free WiFi in the campsite. One of upgrades that we will be investing in for the van, will be a high gain directional antenna. This will mean that we will have more choice on pitch locations and still gain use of the local free WiFi when it's there. I will keep you updated on that as we progress. The campsite was just off of the busy main road heading to Seville and to get to it from the south we had to come off the dual carriageway, around a roundabout and use a nice overpass. It felt like the magic roundabout going around in so many circles, but at least in doing so we passed the busstop and so knew where to catch the bus into town the next morning.

Albright, William Foxwell (1891-1971) | Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Archives
Albright, W. F.
Awlbright, Wilyam F.
William Foxwell Albright (1891-1971) was born to American parents who served as missionaries in Chile. He was an Orientalist, who left his mark in various fields of research including philology, ancient history, epigraphy, paleography, and archeology. His background in linguistics and language learning began while in Chile. From his birth, Albright was bilingual, fluent in English and Spanish. He continued learning languages in his classical studies of Greek and Latin in college, and he also studied German and French. Along the way, he taught himself Hebrew and Assyrian, and published articles in these fields. These articles would later catch the notice of another famous Assyriologist, Paul Haupt of Johns Hopkins University. Because of these articles Haupt admitted Albright into the school with a $500 scholarship.
At Johns Hopkins University, Albright studied Assyriology under Paul Haupt. Here he took classes in Hebrew, Assyrian, Arabic, Syriac, and Indo-European Philology. Aside from his language studies, he studied Old Testament Literature and Criticism, Geography, Archaeology, History and Epigraphy, in order to earn his doctorate degree. He earned a Rayner Fellowship during his time at John Hopkins. Upon receiving the PhD degree, he earned the Thayer Fellowship of the American Schools of Oriental Research, which included a one-year stint in Jerusalem for the study of archeology. This trip began Albright's career in archeology.
After Albright received his Ph.D. in 1917, his career was divided between teaching in the classroom and fieldwork. In 1920, Albright took his first trip to Palestine in order to fulfill the Thayer fellowship. The trip was supposed to be one year and turned into ten years. In 1921, Albright became the acting director of ASOR (American Schools of Oriental Research), and soon after he became the director of the same institute. After this concentrated ten years from 1919-1929 in Jerusalem doing archeology, Albright spent the next seven years commuting between Baltimore and Jerusalem, and in 1936, due to the Arab rebellions and the Second World War, it was impossible for him to resume excavations in Palestine.
n 1936, Albright moved from Jerusalem back to Baltimore to become professor at Johns Hopkins University. He remained here for the rest of his career as a scholar, but took occasional trips to the Holy Land to perform more excavations. W. F. Albright's accomplishments as a scholar are numerous. Rightly, he has become known as the last of the "universals," those men who were very competent across a wide range of fields. Albright was an expert in many fields including, Semitic epigraphy and paleography, history, philology, and archaeology.
In the first category, Albright made many contributions. In 1937, He published a paper dating the Nash Papyrus, which contains the Decalogue and Shema, to the middle of second century BC. At the time it was uncommon for scholars to date the papyrus in the early centuries of the Christian era. Another achievement that had great effects for biblical studies was Albright's dating of what are now known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, which Albright dated between the second century BC and before 70 AD. Albright dated the Great Isaiah Scroll to the second century BC, which most contemporary scholars now affirm.
Albright never claimed to be an historian, but he published widely in the area of history. His works include The Archaeology of Palestine and the Bible, From the Stone Age to Christianity, Archaeology and the Religion of Israel, and Yahweh and the Gods of Canaan. These books synthesized his various disciplines.
