Tickets on sale for murder mystery dinner show
Join the Merrimack Parks & Recreation and the Murder Mystery Company on Saturday, Feb. 10, 2018 for a professionally catered Murder Mystery Dinner Show. This is the perfect gift idea for Valentine's Day, the holidays, yourself, or the birthday present for that person who has everything!
In this 1920s-themed show, things take a turn for the gutter at Mafia Don Lou Zar's juice joint when someone is put on ice. The crowd is chock full of potential suspects. Jealous, jilted lovers, a rival Mafioso and a pair of undercover feds make an appearance at this speakeasy and not a single person is muttering a word. Help find out who's on the level and who's on the lam by trading clues with your guests, gathering information and solving the crime before the murderer hotfoots it out of there.
Dinner guests are encouraged to dress in their best 1920s outfits including: flapper dresses, zoot suits, feather boas and headbands, pinstriped suits and fedoras. If you aren't feeling that jive you can dress as a private detective to help solve the crime.

Cars, engines, jet planes, cars and more cars. Boys love cars! Especially Dries in grade 3. He brought it a remote control car that had to be made from scratch and asked if he could work on constructing it with some support. Over the past few weeks he has spent some of his free time coming to the library to start building. He needs to follow direction, use the finest of fine motor skills and problem solve. Today we came to a road block so we went to our local mechanical expert, Jack. Jack spent his lunch hour with Dries today as they worked together to build the car. Now that's good team work!

Abuse of welfare Electronic Benefits Transfer cards targeted
Fri., Feb. 4, 2011
OLYMPIA – It could get a lot tougher for welfare recipients to use their government benefit cards at strip clubs, tattoo parlors and taverns.
Legislation considered Thursday by a Senate panel seeks to block use of the cards, known as EBTs for Electronic Benefits Transfer cards, for items such as guns, body piercings, booze, cigarettes and casino ATMs.
Recipients would be barred from buying things clearly not intended for children when spending money from the state's biggest welfare program – formally known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or TANF – under the proposals, which were considered Thursday by the Senate Human Services and Corrections Committee.
The panel got no objections from Susan Dreyfus, head of the Department of Social and Health Services. The state already bars their use for gambling and lottery tickets. The real question was the best way to prevent such use with the cards, and to crack down on fraud and abuse.
Legislators have proposed several bills that would restrict the use of EBT cards, which are similar to debit cards tied to a welfare recipient's account. The cards can carry two different amounts: one for a cash benefit and another to be used for food.
Sen. Mike Carrell, R-Lakewood, said he used to believe the vast majority of EBT cards are used correctly, for basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, utilities and transportation. But in the wake of news reports that showed cards have been used at casinos, strip clubs and smoke shops, Carrell said, "I no longer believe that."
The EBT cards are sometimes traded for drugs, he said, or sold on Craigslist by people trying to trade a larger food value for quick cash. Even though the cards require using a personal identification number, the owner can turn over the PIN with the card. After selling the card or trading it for drugs, the owner can then claim it was lost or stolen and get a new one.
The department replaces some 37,000 cards a year reported lost or stolen, and some of those are being fraudulently traded or sold, Carrell said.
With the state cutting all budgets, it's important to crack down on waste and fraud, "to make sure whatever we leave on the table gets to the people," said Sen. Joe Zarelli, R-Ridgefield, who proposed requiring all welfare recipients provide proof every six months that they are eligible and to end cash payments, which some receive instead of EBT cards.
The intent of TANF is to benefit children, Zarelli said, but some of the money ends up being used for cigarettes, alcohol or other "things preferred by adults."
One of Carrell's bills would create an office to investigate welfare fraud and abuse in the state Auditor's Office. Dreyfus said the investigations should stay with DSHS, where she is hiring a new director for the office that investigates fraud, and putting that operation directly under her. She'd need more staff resources go get it done.
Carrell countered the department has had the authority to investigate these problems for years. "Exactly what should give us the assurance that this time, the football isn't going to be pulled out again, like Lucy does?"
Dreyfus said DSHS is eager to work with the Legislature on the reforms. Chairman Jim Hargrove, D-Hoquiam, said the bills "have a lot of moving parts. Obviously, nothing's passing today."

Jordyn Wieber is a former American artistic gymnast and was a member of the US Women's Gymnastics Team, the Fierce Five. Some of her achievements include being a 2012 Olympic gold medalist, 2011 World Champion, three-time American Cup champion, and two-time US National All-around champion. At a young age, after her parents noticed she was a muscular child, they decided to enroll her in gymnastics and she has continued with the sport ever since. She currently works as a volunteer gymnastics assistant coach at UCLA. In 2018, Jordyn as well as over 200 other survivors were awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPY's.
In this episode, Jordyn speaks about her beginnings as a gymnast and how she was always mature, even as a child. Jordyn also speaks about what it was like being Sam's roommate for a year! She explains her fear of being late to practice and her need for an outlet for competitiveness, as well as her interest in psychology and how she believes the Enneagram test can help athletes understand their and their teammates' personalities more. Jordyn continuously strives to make gymnastics a safe sport by dismantling the win-at-all-costs mentality to give athletes better opportunities to be successful safely.

We get to know your business & brand social goals
Kidult and Co started with a purpose; to make children's clothing that broke the mould. To take a stand against the tide of pink for girls and blue for boys and stand up for the British fashion industry, with a strong emphasis on Made in Britain.
Statement t-shirts are key to their collection, with each range aiming to blur the boundaries between gender specific clothing. Thanks to their monochrome colour scheme they've created a fresh and fashionable clothing range that is completely unisex. It's aimed at you, no matter what your gender or age.
Social Strategy
- Facebook Advertising
- Instagram Advertising
- Content Calendar
The Brief
In 2016 the key growth channels for Kidult & Co were identified as Facebook and Instagram. Both these platforms have recently seen huge uptake and rapid evolution, establishing itself as a powerful force of online advertising spend. Our strategy for the brand centred around 3 core principles:
- Refining and growing the brand's audience
- Raising awareness of the product range on offer
- Generating revenue
We knew that success would rely on us leveraging the right data and creating genuinely compelling content to ensure people stopped scrolling, and started engaging.
Throughout our journey with Kidult & Co we've learnt a huge amount about the audience across both Facebook and Instagram, allowing us to continue to optimise the purchase journey from social to website. Right now we can safely say we've found our groove, using tools like Dynamic Product Retargeting to ensure the brand gets maximum bang for their buck – only serving ads to people who are likely to engage with them and take action.

A government spokesman has said a decision will be made on the Hemswell Cliff wind farm planning application 'as soon as possible'.
A public inquiry into the 10-turbine wind farm took place in January - and a decision had been due to be made by the end of July.
But this has now been put back.
A Department for Communities and Local Government spokesman said: "We are currently considering this case and a decision will be issued as soon as possible."
RWE Innogy UK wants to put up 10 wind turbines each 126.5 metres high, on farmland beside the A15 north of Hemswell Cliff.
Campaign group Villages of the Cliff Against Turbines (VOCAT) oppose the application saying it 'is the wrong development on the wrong site'.
The final decision will be made by the Secretary of State.
The the initial application was rejected by West Lindsey District Council.

"Presently Post Most Things"
Future Scars embodies the coexistence of the calm and calamity of waking life. Founded in 2015 by members of As In We, Future Scars is emotionally rooted in the contemplative, melodic atmosphere of post-rock and expands beyond a singular genre's expectations, often times overflowing into the domain of sheer intensity and fervor. The group couples these drastically varied, yet complementary components with the recurrent flurries of heart-wrenching vocals, creating an aura of earnest exhilaration and beauty. Laced with technicality and the prowess of control, Future Scars construct a sound balanced in adversity, soothing and cathartic yet all the while anxious with anticipation.
Undergoing a line-up change in late 2017 in the midst of writing the group's debut full length and follow-up to their 2016 EP debut, Future Scars has grown into a foursome comprised of the group's original front-woman, Eliza Lutz, with Paul Wagner on bass, Marcus DiFilippo on drums and Dylan Blanchard on keys. Future Scars record their new album this spring with US regional tours in the works for summer and late fall of 2018.

OMR forms are sheets containing index points on all four corners, and question blocks and answer bubbles for marking the correct answer. Candidates appearing for OMR answer sheet based MCQ tests are required to fill these bubbles with blue/black ball point pen, which the OMR software then reads to verify the accuracy of the answers.
OMR forms handwriting are more popular in the recent days because of its varied uses. These forms have blocks meant for writing addresses or other free-text information. OMR Software comes equipped with OCR and ICR technologies for reading printed digits, barcodes etc and handwritten text, respectively. It can also read images and photographs to be stored in the database for later use and reference.
For all OMT forms with handwriting to be read effectively, the forms need to be filled appropriately. It is advised that you first read the instructions on the form carefully before beginning to fill it.
If it is specified that you use a ball point pen, use only a ball point pen, and not a pencil.
Never use fountain pens and gel-based ink pens to fill the sheets.
If the form needs to be filled using uppercase characters, never use lowercase characters, as the software won't be able to read the forms properly.
Handwritten OMR forms are read by the software the same way OMR sheets with bubbles are read. You may use any scanner to scan the sheets. Addmen OMR software reads the sheets and exports the information collected onto Excel sheet formats.

4 huge programmatic buying misconceptions
Why have big brands like P&G invested so heavily in programmatic buying this year? Simply put: It's perhaps the most exciting marketing opportunity that can solve many big problems for our industry. Marketers want to save time and money while knowing their ads are reaching the right audience. They love taking advantage of automation and efficiency while cutting down on overhead. They also love to tackle creative marketing projects while still achieving basic goals. This is what programmatic provides. So why do so many myths surrounding this strategy still exist?
While it's exciting for those who understand the potential, programmatic elicits the classic unfounded fear: My job will be replaced by robots. Here are the biggest misconceptions you should squash and why investing in this process is vital.
Programmatic is RTB
Real-time bidding was an amazing advancement, but it's only a subset of programmatic. Programmatic now encompasses much more than what simple RTB can offer. It's a huge automated buying process that allows large-scale inventory from premium publishers to be purchased and served in real-time. Equating programmatic to RTB is a bit like confusing a sports car with a good engine. RTB is now a piece of a much larger machine that allows for hyper-efficient media buying at scale. This is the programmatic process.
No one knows more about how effective and efficient this practice can be than Jessica Coren, VP of client services for Adroit Digital and an expert in this field. She speaks to iMedia about why the misconceptions around programmatic should be corrected and the key benefits of adopting a programmatic process for large-scale media buying.
Programmatic is made up of remnant, low-quality inventory
This is another big misconception that has been floating around the industry for too long. The idea that programmatic buying means purchasing inventory that is a publisher's afterthought is simply not true. In addition to high-quality control standards for the practice, private marketplaces ensure that publishers are offering premium inventory to advertisers at fixed prices. Publishers are able to select which advertisers they would like to work with and offer inventory that is of guaranteed quality and visibility. It's a myth that publishers are not committed to or involved in the process. Large-scale inventory is available on many publisher sites, most of which would go unused if it wasn't for programmatic. Publishers are happy to work in this area to generate more revenue and establish partnerships with premium advertisers. Every day they are making more of their inventory available to programmatic because they realize the potential and see the results.
Jessica Coren from Adroit Digital continues our conversation by explaining the unique ways her company approaches the programmatic space in the forms of a data co-op and pixel-free technology, as well as key lessons the industry can learn.
Targeting limitations and the absence of the human element
Marketers may be wary of programmatic because they think that their ability to target beyond basic demographics at scale is limited. This is simply not the case. Thanks to the power of data and smart marketing practices baked into the programmatic process, media can be targeted to vast segments of your audience with hyper-accuracy. Targeting and technology have improved so much over the years that whether you're using an IO or an automated method, you will capture the ideal market segment if you partner with the right company.
Lastly, marketers need to understand programmatic is not robots taking over your media buying. It's simply a tool in your professional tool belt that can free up time, eliminate error, and allow you to focus on more creative marketing tactics. If you make the right partnerships, the personal touch you enjoy with clients today will not only remain, but also grow stronger. Smart programmatic partners know that the human element is key to this whole process.
So are marketers ready for this tidal wave of programmatic? Jessica Coren from Adroit Digital ends our conversation with her final thoughts on the landscape and how you need to approach the space, partnerships, and strategies surrounding this world.

Jonathan Bellman
In several different blog posts I have chronicled the
Mendelssohn/Moscheles reconstruction project, in which a collaboration with my
friend Michael Cooper went from incomplete rediscovered but incomplete score to
reconstruction to live premiere. (This one links all the others.) Previous to that my only involvement in such a reconstruction had been as the guy who (first, I think) played my friend Jeffrey Kallberg's reconstruction of the early Chopin E-Flat Minor Prelude (not the one that eventually became part of Op. 28), and offering an opinion on the identity of one note thereof. Now, Prof. Kallberg has drawn my attention to an ongoing project involving an incomplete Fourth Piano Sonata by Robert Schumann, and of course there is the Unheard Beethoven site, which has MIDI realizations of a variety of Beethoven fragments,
sketches, incomplete works, etc.
What is the attraction of such projects? I can assure that it is not the stupid
"undiscovered masterpiece" cliché, trotted out so often when a new fragment is discovered. The recent Mozart violin fragment is one such case, though
to the BBC's credit such a claim was not made in this linked article (though
other articles on the subject did not show the same restraint). Undiscovered masterworks are extremely rare; even Prof. Jay Rosenblatt's discovery and reconstruction of Liszt's "other" E-Flat piano concerto in the 1980s brought to light a piece that Liszt himself
had decided not to revise and thus discarded. No, it is really something closer to
the completist's impulse, the almost obsessive desire to harvest everything from a lost sound world, not just the pieces that the composer, his publishers, and serendipity have managed to pass down to us. In such cases, what is compelling is why—perhaps—the composer decided not to complete the work. Was it that no one was paying, or was
it that the work really did not pass muster? The germ might have been good idea, as in the case of the Chopin prelude, but the composer may later have had one he liked better. Was it an occasional piece, something composed for a particular event but for which the composer foresaw no longer future? That would be the Mendelssohn/Moscheles, at least as far as Mendelssohn was concerned. Or, as in many other cases, the composer's circumstances may just have led him elsewhere, or prematurely offstage, so much remained undone. For the student of musical language and compositional practice, the
stone that the builders rejected may not have become the cornerstone, exactly, but it can be highly instructive. The internet now makes such things available to everyone.
I have not yet spend any time with the Schumann site; all I can say is that the name Frederick Moyer (who collaborates on this project with Paul E. Green, Jr.) is familiar to me because he recently played a concert at Mt. San Antonio Gardens, the facility where my father was being treated and where my mother now lives. From his website, I gather he's doing musical life that other way, the way where the artist is responsible for all
his own bookings, is involved with a variety of interesting projects as a kind
of metamultitasker, and does not rely on a day job. Bravo! and Corraggio! to Moyer and Green both, and I look forward to this work on what Schumann eventually did not manage to finish. More and more work on the aesthetic of the sketch is beginning to be done, and (as I say) the internet now gives us the tools to make available much music that never fully made it out of the Realm Of Becoming.

You've watched a TV show from the very beginning, followed it through cliffhangers and climaxes, highs and lows with tears of both joy, sadness, and laughter. It had made you forget friends and loved ones, ignore responsibilities and stay in rather than go out. You've endured a lot and invested so much time in this TV show that it's probably, extremely, unhealthy for you.
It's a bit like a relationship, except for the part where a real person can't be paused to continue later on or turned off- well. Anyhoo, you've followed this TV show from the start, perhaps from its very conception, and just like a relationship sometimes you get off to a rocky start, sometimes it's great from the get go and sometimes you're unsure whether it's for you and eventually start to really enjoy it- but one thing is for certain you know that you're ready to commit to this show and settle in for the long haul.
But for how long? How long can you suspend your belief, and not notice how utterly ridiculous the story lines are, or how little a character is developing? The answer varies. Sometimes these discrepancies only make the show more entertaining, because you know it's bad, the show knows it's bad, but you will watch on because hilariously bad is in right now. But eventually these things start to grate on your nerves and instead of 'haha this is so bad it's good' you start muttering 'seriously? SERIOUSLY?!'
When can you no longer stand a show that it makes you physically ILL to watch it? When Gossip Girl first started, it instantly became a guilty pleasure. I had read the books and was intrigued to find they were making it into a TV show and when it premiered I immediately suspended belief to be swept up into the Upper East side drama. For the first two or so series I was hooked, I liked how they strayed from the books and how relevant to the time the show was. The kids were rich, their lives were outrageous and someone was dishing dirt about them via BLOG! But hell, it was a nice 40ish minutes of abandon with hot guys and pretty girls living the lives of the rich and infamous and THEY WERE ONLY IN HIGH SCHOOL ZOMG.
However by halfway through the 3rd series it was becoming less of a need to watch and eventually it wasn't even a want, in fact it started becoming a chore. Blair's schemes were tired, Chuck and Blair's poisonous relationship was tired- Serena's face was tired, everything became tiresome and I stopped watching. Something had snapped in me, making me rue it so much more for the time I spent on it. Just like a relationship. Badoom tush.
I gave up fairly easily, I didn't even go through the 'I'll watch it to see how bad it can get' stage. It started getting bad and I started losing interest. I haven't broken down and watched an episode of the final series, even the finale where we found out the identity of the almighty Gossip Girl-
(Spoiler Alert: it's Dan.)
One particular show that seems to progressively be getting worse is Glee. Gawd Glee is so bad but unlike Gossip Girl I foresee no end in sight and I cannot stop watching. I literally hate myself when I watch it but watch it I will. It is no longer funny for me, the musical performances are derivative and I used to be able to overlook the shitty storytelling because it was funny and the musical numbers were entertaining. However I keep watching in the hopes that something interesting will happen, I don't know I'm trying to make it work for me, you know? I feel like I should have given up a while ago, I really should have but I haven't- even if it takes a lot to sit through the 40ish minutes and not throw something at my TV or throw down my laptop.
So that's the question I pose to you today, when do you give up? I gave up on gossip Girl fairly easily and early I reckon. Anyone else got any shows they've given up on over the years? Any failed relationships to disclose? Also, when people ask if you still watch a particular show and you're like, 'no. We um, we didn't work out in the end.' Does anyone else get weird looks or is that just me?


text: Hey guys! I've been suffering from bronchial asthma for years. Last year I undergo ct scan. During that time my doctor ask me if I'm an asthmatic & I told her 'yes', she requested for a serum creatinine test before the ct scan, they took some blood from me & after an hour the doctor found out that they should use a non-ionic stuff and said that I'm allergic, I don't know what that stuff is but she told me that it is important because if they got mistaken in injecting medicine or drugs to me, it could damage my kidney. What bothers me is the serum creatinine result. It indicates a +6 or -6 result, I can barely recall. Can someone explain to me what does it means?

Naturally Leavened Brioche-Style Kugelhopf
Kirsch-macerated raisins and sour cherries add sweetness to this traditional Austrian holiday bread, naturally leavened with sourdough starter. The subtle aroma and flavor of orange blossom water offer a hint of bitter orange peel. This recipe comes to us courtesy of Maurizio Leo, whose blog, The Perfect Loaf, examines all things sourdough.
- 1/2 cup sweetened tart cherries
- 1/2 cup Thompson raisins
- 1 cup Kirsch liqueur, or other cherry-flavored liqueur
- 13 tablespoons European-style butter
- 4 cups + 2 tablespoons King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons ripe (fed) sourdough starter
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon cold whole milk
- 4 large eggs, cold
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water, optional
- confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- The night before baking the kugelhopf, soak the cherries and raisins in the kirsch. Use a jar that's slender enough to ensure the fruit is completely submerged in the liquor.
- Measure out the butter and cut it into 1-tablespoon chunks. Let it sit on the counter at room temperature for 30 minutes, until called for at the end of mixing.
- Drain the cherries and raisins, reserving leftover Kirsch for another use, if desired.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together the flour and salt.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the mature liquid sourdough starter, cold milk, cold eggs, and sugar.
- Set the stand mixer fitted with a dough hook to stir (slowest speed), and slowly add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture over the course of 2 to 3 minutes, until incorporated.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. While the dough is resting, combine the drained fruit with the orange blossom water in a separate bowl.
- Turn the stand mixer to medium speed and mix the dough for 8 to 9 minutes, scraping down the sides with a bowl scraper when necessary, until it starts to ball around the dough hook (it will still stick to the bottom and slightly to the sides of the bowl). The dough should look smooth with no clumps, and start to display signs of elasticity.
- With the mixer set to medium-low speed, add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time over the course of 5 to 6 minutes. After adding the butter the dough should look elastic and shiny, with no lumps remaining.
- Set the mixer to stir and add the fruit a little at a time, until incorporated and well distributed.
- Transfer the dough from the mixer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for its bulk fermentation (first rise). Set the covered bowl in a warm spot, about 75°F.
- After the first 30 minutes of rise, use your two slightly wet hands to grab the dough at the top of the bowl, stretching it up and folding it over to the bottom of the bowl. Rotate the bowl 180º and perform the same action. Then, rotate the bowl 90º and repeat, stretching the dough at the top of the bowl and folding it to the bottom, and vice versa, bottom to top. The dough should now be folded into a tight little package in the center of the bowl. Cover again with plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Repeat the above folds at 30-minute intervals for a total of four sets. After the last set let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
- Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and use a pastry brush to coat the entire interior of a 10-cup kugelhopf mold or 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan. Place a single almond at the very bottom of the mold in each "peak."
- Lightly flour the counter and, using a bench knife, dump the dough out of the bulk container onto the counter. With the bench knife and lightly floured hands, round the dough several times into a tight circle (boule) shape. The dough will be sticky; rely on the knife and your floured hands to build a little more strength into the dough, so it's a tight round.
- Using your fingers, punch a hole directly in the center of the dough and stretch the hole wide enough to allow the center of the mold to push through.
- Using the bench knife and your hand, place the dough into the buttered mold. Gently pat the dough so it's even around the entire mold. Cover the mold loosely with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for 3 to 3 1/2 hours at 75ºF, until it reaches the rim of the mold.
- Towards the end of fermentation, place a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Bake the kugelhopf for 30 minutes, rotating the mold halfway through. Turn the oven down to 375ºF and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the bread tests done. Because a large portion of the dough isn't visible it can be hard to tell when the bread is done; bake until the visible part of the dough is a deep, golden brown and the bread's internal temperature is around 200ºF to 205ºF. Keep an eye on the bread for the last 10 minutes, tenting it with foil or adjusting the bake time as necessary.
- Remove the bread from the oven and cool it on a rack for 10 minutes. Turn the bread out of the mold onto the rack and allow it to cool completely, 3 to 4 hours.
- Dust the bread with confectioners' sugar and serve.
- Store any leftovers, well wrapped, at room temperature; freeze for longer storage.
Tips from our bakers
- Since this dough has no added yeast, your starter will be doing all of the rising work. Make sure your starter is very vigorous and active, feeding it several times before using, if necessary.

Thank you for this lovely recipe! The cake is beautiful and very tasty.
I followed the recipe as instructed when it came to ingredients and their quantity (i substituted the cherries for candied fruit and i soaked it only for 20 minutes in orange blossom water).. when it came to proving time, i proved it in the fridge overnight but the dough did not grow, so the next morning i transfered the dough in the kugloph pan and proved it in a warm oven for 2 hours. Then the dough has grown.. i baked it as instruced and it came out very beautiful and perfect..
I made this bread for my family's Easter dinner. I substituted 1/2 tsp. Fiore diSicilia for the orange blossom water and it turned out great. This is a labor intensive recipe but the result is well worth it. I will bake this again for the Christmas holiday. Just delicious-slightly sweet but not overpowering.
I followed this recipe exactly and had great results. It is well worth soaking the dried fruits overnight to add their subtle flavor to the finished bread. It is not overly sweet but it tastes special. I will make this again and look forward to sharing both the recipe and the bread!

text: I can probably count the number of times there was a power outage in Seattle (where I spent the first 18 years of my life) on one hand. Yet in the past two or three years, here in North Carolina we've lost power at least six times that I can easily recall. I'm talking about significant outages here, more than an hour long. A couple of them lasted several days. How often does the power go out where you live? Is my experience here in North Carolina unusual, or was my Seattle experience more atypical?

L.M.F. piping and components begin to accumulate calcium, iron and various other elements over time. The deposits restrict water flow, which reduces cooling capabilities and shortens the life span of equipment.
Hydrosol System will perform a pre-engineering visit. Our expert engineers will customize a procedure that identifies the optimal chemicals, times, temperatures, temporary pipe connections and utilities. A Hydrosol System crew will mobilize to the customer site during a maintenance outage. High velocity pumps and filtration are used to circulate chemicals through the furnace piping and components. This process can typically be performed in a 24 hour period.
The L.M.F. cooling and flow will show drastic improvement. In most cases it will return to manufacturers recommended velocities.
Hydrosol System recommends an annual cleaning of the L.M.F. cooling. Customers who perform annual service have increased production and have the flexibility to focus on other critical tasks during tight outage schedules.

Chalkboard Arcade 1.1
More Games App by Loose Canon Studios, LLC
Downloads: 74
"Will you make the grade?"
Chalkboard Arcade is an exciting new word game that has all the speed and frenzied game play of a classic arcade game. Challenging and innovative, in combines two gaming genres that everyone loves.
The aim of the game is to collect letters from the bouncers to form words of three letters or more to score you points. Sound easy? Don't be fooled! Letters fly at your from all directions and speeds, so you have to coordinate between catching them, and trying to think words before your board fills up. Oh and bombs will blast letters off your cork board if you don't detonate them before they hit the bumpers. Keep playing each level as many times as you like until you get graded an A+.
Chalkboard Arcade is frantic, entertaining, and will really test your reflexes as well as your word-making ability. The design is fun, and you can even pick the background music! A free-to-play time-killer game that is well worth a download.
Chalkboard Arcade is a really well designed, challenging game, with lots of features that make gameplay more exciting. As you you progress through the levels, the bouncers move more quickly, you have less time to play, and word combinations become trickier to make. If you misspell a word, you lose all of those letters too.
The game has a helpful tutorial: a short version in text, and a link to a YouTube video which takes you though through every aspect of the game, explaining how stopwatches freeze time to give you head space to form words. It also lets you know you can buy power-ups via IAPs to extend your game, extend the stopwatch time, reduce the number of bombs, and gain hints (but these are not necessary to play and enjoy the game).
You even get to choose from 6 groovy soundtracks in the settings menu, and challenge your friends to have a go to at the end of each level. Overall, the game is super simple to get the hang, but really tricky to score the highest grades.
Chalkboard Arcade has all the makings of a great game: it's fast, fun, and provides innovative gameplay. It would be nice to see some different game modes, and a global leaderboard for you to compare your position with other players.
It would also be good if the scoring were explained a little further, so you know how much each letter and word length is worth, and what bonus words will score you too (so you know if they are worth concentrating on or not).

Chronic sinusitis can affect one's quality of life in many ways. Some of the symptoms of chronic sinusitis can include nasal obstruction, nasal congestion, postnasal drip, decreased sense of smell, facial pressure, headaches, fatigue, pain in the upper teeth, and pain behind the eyes just to name a few. Once a thorough history and physical examination has taken place, your ENT doctor will determine what further testing you may need including nasal endoscopy (using a camera to evaluate the nasal passages) and/or CT imaging of the sinuses. Once the diagnosis of chronic sinusitis has been established, the treatment options can then be explored.
Traditional sinus surgery is a procedure performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. It requires extensive knowledge of the sinus passages and procedures can often take two to three hours depending on the extent of sinus disease. The goal of sinus surgery is to widen the natural openings of the sinuses (maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid) to allow improved drainage of the sinuses. Long courses of general anesthetic can lead people to feel lethargic and some patients may experience post-operative nausea and vomiting. Additionally, time is needed for the effects of general anesthesia to wear off causing people to miss work for a few days following surgery.
Recently, there have been advancements in sinus surgery to include the use of balloons to open sinuses.The use of balloons to open the sinuses cause less trauma to the surrounding tissues and saves time by requiring less tedious dissection of the sinus passages. Furthermore, there has been a shift to performing these balloon dilation procedures in the clinic. In-office balloon sinuplasty is better for patients in the following ways: local anesthesia is used so patients can recover sooner, in-office procedures are cheaper and more cost effective, some patients can feel relief almost immediately after treatment, and patients typically do not need nasal packing after the procedure.
A typical procedure in the office lasts about one hour depending on which sinuses are being treated. You will be given oral medication in the office. Your nose will then been treated with both topical and injectable anesthetics. The balloon can then be placed into each sinus and used to widen the natural openings of each sinus. After the procedure, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home.
Not all patients with chronic sinusitis are candidates for the in-office balloon procedure. There are some patients who will need more extensive sinus procedures in the operating room. There is overwhelming evidence that patients who undergo in-office balloon procedures show high rates of patient satisfaction, and experience less side effects and complications. Chronic sinusitis is a complicated disease process that often overlaps with other nasal disorders such as allergies. Your doctor can help determine if you have symptoms of chronic sinusitis and determine your treatment options.

Anyone who workd on Coldwater, wondering if the years of effort was worth it? IT WAS---THANK YOU TO EVERYONE INVOLVED!!!
Just a few more meetings to go!
Mississippi National River and Recreation Area
111 Kellogg Boulevard E, Suite 105 Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101
December 3, 2008
Dear friends:
It has been two years since the public comment period ended concerning the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Disposition of the Bureau of Mines Property, Twin Cities Research Center Main Campus in Hennepin County near Fort Snelling, Minnesota. The campus lies entirely within the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area. The Department of the Interior has selected its preferred alternative for disposition of the property and the purpose of this letter is to inform you of that decision and lay out the next steps for the campus.
The 27-acre property is owned by the U.S. government and would remain in federal ownership under Interior's preferred alternative. The property will be restored to a condition that emphasizes its ecological and historical significance, with all buildings, driveways, roads and other infrastructure removed.
The National Park Service will lead a public planning process to help determine the exact nature of the site's restoration, including restoration of Coldwater Spring. This will include completion of a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) concerning the property's future. Once that document is complete, the Department of the Interior will issue its final decision about the future of the property. Based on information obtained in completing the FEIS, that decision could be somewhat different than the preferred alternative
Public meetings will be conducted in the winter and spring of 2009 to help determine some of the details for restoration of the site. The FEIS will be completed by summer 2009. Assuming the final decision is no different than the preferred alternative, demolition of the buildings and physical restoration of the site may begin as soon as fall 2009 and will likely be completed by the end of the 2010 construction season. At that time, the National Park Service will assume responsibility for the site. An interpretive plan for the site will be completed in late 2009 or early 2010.
Once the planning tasks are completed, the National Park Service will work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on managing the contracts for demolition of the buildings and restoration of the site. Once the site has been restored, long-term management of the property will be the responsibility of the National Park Service.
This site holds great significance for American Indian people, for its role in early European settlement of the region, and for its 20th Century role in development of mining and mine safety technology. I am excited that this site will be preserved and managed by the National Park Service and we will be able to tell the many stories of this site to present and future generations of Americans.
Questions about the next steps in the planning process should be directed to Steve Johnson of my staff at 651-290-3030 x223 or email@example.com.

Neil Redfearn has resigned as manager of the Liverpool Women side after just one league game in charge.
The former Leeds United and Rotherham United boss took over at the side in July after spending last term with the Doncaster Belles and was in the dugout as the new WSL season began last Saturday.
That game - an away trip to Arsenal Women - ended in a crushing 5-0 defeat and just six days later, the Reds have confirmed his exit from the club.
A statement on the Liverpool website read: "The club would like to thank Neil for his work in rebuilding the squad ahead of the 2018-19 season and wish him the best of luck for the future."
Ex-Liverpool keeper Chris Kirkland, currently part of the backroom team, will step up as interim manager, starting with a cup game at Durham Women this weekend.

Gaining a Competitive Edge: Moving Wind Power to Distant Markets
When wind turbine shippers wanted a more efficient, affordable way to move their product, UPDS devised a rail-based plan to accomplish their goals.
Released December 6, 2016 Case Study
If you've ever seen wind turbine components, you'll know they're very large and come in abnormal shapes. Because of that, traditionally, these components were shipped individually by truck. But our customers were seeking a more efficient, affordable way to move their turbines — and we knew rail was the answer.
Shipper Challenges
Because of their size and shape, at first glance rail didn't appear to be a good fit. How could we load wind turbine components onto rail cars? And, where would we unload them? At the time, only a limited number of unloading sites existed.
The UPDS Solution
We knew we could find a more efficient, affordable way to move wind turbines. So our best-in-class logistics team went to work.
First, we used specialized rail equipment that could handle the size and shape of the components so they could move easily by rail. Then, we established a network of wind distribution centers where components could be unloaded from rail cars, staged strategically close to the wind farms for as-needed deployment and placed onto trucks for quick delivery to project sites. Today, we have more than 40 of these in place. By overcoming these challenges, we were able to make rail work.
Our Results
We found a way to for the wind industry to access rail, but more importantly, we also helped our customers realize a significant cost savings by converting their shipments from truck to rail.
At the same time, we helped our customers expand their reach. With an affordable transportation solution in place, it made economic sense for them to sell to — and ship to — distant markets. And with trucks ready to transport turbines from our distribution centers, they could get there quickly and efficiently. From that point forward, rail was a valuable solution.
Since 2006, we've handled more than 60,000 wind components — and maintain a 99.7% damage-free rate. In the end, this solution offered the wind industry a gateway to rail. In doing so, they've saved on transportation costs, expanded their market reach, and they do it all safely and efficiently.

So, I've made some new friends on this journey to the laminar fountain! I am proud to introduce you to Mario the Magician. He really is a magician in more ways than one! First it really is his career in Switzerland, but more importantly he is a WIZARD with laminar flow fountains!
With his permission, I've uploaded a video of his fountain. He has done a remarkable job, and I just can't believe the quality of his fountain. The water doesn't have a imperfection in it!!! FLAWLESS COMPLETELY FLAWLESS!!!!!!
Ok, so he built a fountain that shoots out a prefectly clear stream of water without a flaw in it…SO WHAT!
Well, not only did he built the fountain, but he also built the electronics from stratch, and programmed it all from stratch all while learning everything he could about the fountains online!!!!!
I am continuously astounded by his ingenuity and BRILLIANCE.
This video shows the flow from the fountain and its different modes. I can't say enough about MARIO! Thanks for sharing Mario!

badboy007 It is true that deads are better for low reps though
IREZUMI Only if your training for strength,if used as a mass builder higher rep ranges are a better choice.
*The_West* IREZUMI Only if your training for strength,if used as a mass builder higher rep ranges are a better choice. not necessarily. it is true that low rep ranges are generally more effective for improving strength, but everybody respond differently to different rep ranges. i think that warm up sets (about 5 is good) should be done at higher reps, but taken nowhere near failure. i think deadlifts just "suit" lower rep ranges better, as has been said, your form can start to stray after 5 or more heavy, hard reps-less effective, more risk of injury.
*The_West* so, because one person has done higher rep deads and had good results, that means everyone will? that was the point i was tryiong to make-everyone responds differently to certain rep ranges. 5x5 is a good place to start with deads, simple and effective, easy to guage progress. i know i have had most succes in that range, i have tried higher, even lower, but come back to the 5x5 time and time again. if you want to give examples, im sure andy boulton has a thicker, wider back (although hidden under the chub lol) im also sure you wont see him doing deads in the 8-20 range :)

Grit Chapter 5 - The Power of Passion & Perseverance by Angela Duckworth
GRIT: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth
Chapter 5: Grit Grows
Is grit more like height or more like language?
How much of our grit is in our genes?
In this chapter Angela shows how much of grit is in our DNA. She concludes that both genes and experience influence grit, talent, and all other psychological traits relevant to success in life. There is not a single gene for grit and this is true for any psychological traits as well
According to Angela, there are four psychological assets that enhance grit.
1. Interest: Passion begins with intrinsically enjoying what you do.
2. Practice: One form of perseverance is the daily discipline to do things better than we did yesterday.
3. Purpose: What ripens passion is the conviction that your work matters.
4. Hope: Hope is a "rising to the occasion" kind of perseverance.
The common theme, as I continue to read this book, is perseverance; the ability to keep going even with it is hard and even when you feel like quitting. If we stay down when we are knocked down, grit losses. If we get up, grit prevails.
According to Angela Duckworth, the four psychological assets of interest, practice, purpose, and hope are not "you have it or you don't" commodities. You can learn to discover, develop, and deepen your interests. You can acquire the habit of discipline. You can cultivate a sense of purpose and meaning, and you can teach yourself to hope.
You can grow your grit from the inside out. If you'd like to know how, I would suggest that you continue to read this book.

Are You a Master?
By Katherine Tarbox, Senior Editor, REALTOR® Magazine
In February 2009, REALTOR® Magazine launched the Masters Series, a video diary of top-producing practitioners, who represent expertise in a certain field within real estate. We traveled all over the country to meet some of the best real estate pros, followed them around for a day, and learned their trade secrets.
We're planning for the 2010 series and we want to hear from you. Next year the video will focus on mastering certain aspects of the business: staging, prospecting, negotiating, and more.
Do you have at least a decade of experience with a high sales volume? Are you an expert at calculating and using statistics? Or are you known in your area as being THE stager? Perhaps you prospect better than any other practitioner?
If any of these sounds like you, and you'd like to be considered for a 2010 Masters Series video, please contact senior editor Katherine Tarbox at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I can be known as a master recruiter. I have built Pacific Realty Partners from scratch to 40+ agents in just 2 years during this recession and now the sky is the limit. I recruit, train, empower and delegate. That's my forte.

In the last week I heard some good news about a friend in the Calais camp – it's at the end of this post 🙂
A friend living in Berlin writes…
"In October I spent a few days in Britain, and it was only then that I realised just how grossly deficient UK media reports on the humanitarian crisis here on the continent have been. The occasional commentary in the Guardian just doesn't do justice to the masses of people moving 'into' and across Europe, fleeing from wars – Syria, Afghanistan, Libya and Iraq chief among them.
Railway stations are full of exhausted refugees, desperate to get to a place of safety, anywhere they can feel safe after months of journeying, months of walking, being interned in concentration camps on the EU borders, being beaten by police and security guards, thrown off trains (whether or not they have a valid ticket). And when they finally get to somewhere like Berlin they queue up for days, even weeks, in order to register as refugees; sleeping in parks and on the streets in the minus temperatures. Of these people – exhausted, wounded, pregnant, young, old – few, if any, find a bed the day, or even the same week they arrive.
Germany seems to be getting a good press in the international media – Angela Merkel's "Welcome Culture" may make good headlines, but with several thousand refugees arriving in Berlin alone every day (compare that to Cameron's offer to take in 5000 over 5 years!) the Welcome Culture certainly hasn't tricked down to the authorities dealing with registering, tracking and issuing papers to the refugees. As mentioned above, people are queuing in below-zero temperatures for days. They're facing security guards who are happy to either take bribes (to jump the queue) or to be violent (if you think this an exaggeration then check out the YouTube videos of security guards chasing and beating refugees at the Berlin Lageso registration centre).
Once registered the refugees may be issued with an accommodation voucher for a hostel place – a hostel place that doesn't exist, or is denied them because the authorities haven't paid the bills. The 'lucky'ones have a place in a gym, a large tent, an army barracks or an aircraft hangar. Several dozen people on camp beds in a small place with an average of two toilets per 300.
The authorities' response has been, at best, inhumane and disinterested, yet ordinary German people, even businesses and universities have been trying to plug the gaps. In smaller towns welcome committees have been organised to receive refugees who arrive in the middle of the night, driving them to accommodation so that they don't have to wait outside the registration offices until opening times.
Clothes, food and toys are collected and handed out to refugees at railway stations. Schools are illegally(!) offering places to refugee children. Businesses are offering apprenticeships, local transport authorities are offering free travel, people are cooking food, opening their homes to those fleeing war.
And the State's response? All too often the State has taken people away from the new homes they've found with friendly Germans, sending them to far corners of the country in the name of efficient distribution – as if these exhausted and traumatised people were a parcel from Amazon. Soup kitchens are closed down (health and safety!), applications by Germans to host refugees in spare rooms take months to process, empty buildings squatted to provide space for refugees sleeping
rough are brutally evicted within hours…
But if you're not involved in attempts to help refugees then you're only like to notice this unfolding humanitarian crisis in media reports. Nevertheless, every week I receive at least one text calling for people to turn up to protect refugee accommodation centres from fascists (and let's be clear, these are real fascists of the 1930s variety, not some vaguely nationalist hooligans out for a ruck). Every
week there is at least two or three demonstrations called by far-right and fascist groupings (and that's just in Berlin!) Over 100 refugee accommodation centres have been attacked so far this year, over 60 were arson attacks – see this map for locations.
The media is split between those fanning the flames – encouraging fear and xenophobia – and those providing clear and (relatively) honest reporting on what these people are going through, have gone through – why they are coming.
But the real 'why' isn't being mentioned. The fact that Afghanistan and Iraq have become places to flee from because German and British troops were there 'on the ground', making a terrible situation much, much worse. The politics, stretching back to before WW2 that led to the geo-political situation in Asia and Africa, the support given to the dictators of these countries (and now NATO is moving towards fighting on Assad's side).
Not to mention the fact that even now the Germans, the British and many others have made huge profits on arms sales to the same regions that people are coming from. Take Heckler & Koch as an example – a German armaments manufacturer, previously owned by BAE) which, according to media reports, provide over 30% of small arms (pistols, rifles, machine guns etc) to the Middle East. German tax money supporting deadly exports, but imagine the German government's surprise when people flee those same German bullets.
There's no real positive side to this, except the fact that so many Germans are prepared to take up the challenge that the state is deliberately ignoring. Do the 'good' Germans outnumber the 'bad' – the Nazis, the scared, the inhuman and ponderous state? Right now I really couldn't say, and that's a scary thought because the challenge that this humanitarian crisis is presenting to the German State and the EU is tiny compared to what is going to come in the wake of climate change and growing international inequality."
…I heard this week that a young friend who has waited three years to have her husband allowed to join her in the UK (they were married only 6 months before they had to flee Syria) has heard that some solicitors who went to Calais to help in just such cases have obtained his right to enter. She and he will meet again today.

Diablo III PvP Concerns
After the few details concerning PvP in Diablo III at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals, fans have expressed their doubts at the Diablo III Forums. Bashiok – new Diablo III Community Manager – responded:
We're – in general – not big fans of griefing for any game. It's really only "fun" for one person, and that definition of fun isn't generally something we're going to want to encourage. It's far more positive to encourage and support meaningful and skillful options and systems within a game, than a mechanic for people to instantly turn against one another for no meaningful gameplay reasons.
I definitely remember running with my friends, and someone toggles it, and bam everyone is dead and your one friend is laughing. Ok, ok, good joke I guess, and then you run back and *bam*, you've toggled it to get them back. After a while everyone usually agrees to a truce because it's just a waste of time. But I also remember running with random players and losing extremely nice items because of it, not cool. I'm sure that it was a feature that was right up some people's alleys, I won't deny there are some that would enjoy nothing more than to see others frustrated, but is that truly something that should be encouraged through design – if not directly opposed?
We have a large focus on cooperative play for Diablo III, and the mechanics and design decisions related to multiplayer are likely going to be based on supporting and encouraging it as much as possible, and not breaking it down.
That doesn't mean that PvP won't have its own focus, but those are details and features we aren't yet discussing.
