Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. Exodus 22:21-24
Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Exodus 23:9
And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another: Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am יהוה your God. Leviticus 25:14,17
Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them. Psalms 62:10
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Psalms 107:17
For the vineyard of יהוה of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry. Isaiah 5:7
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 2 Corinthians 1:6
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 2 Corinthians 4:17
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 2 Timothy 4:5
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Hebrews 10:32-34
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Hebrews 11:32-40
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James 4:9,10
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 1 Peter 5:8,9

My wife and I recently engaged Mr. O'Leary to prepare documents needed for a complete estate plan. The documents included a family trust, new wills, powers of attorney, health care directives, a deed transferring our home to the trust, and complete written instructions and documents necessary to transfer bank and brokerage accounts to our new trust. Mr. O'Leary asked all the right questions and discussed various ways our plans could be implemented.
The documents were prepared in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. As a retired California attorney with forty-eight years of experience I can, and do, recognize and appreciate quality legal work, which is what Mr. O'Leary provided.
I fully recommend attorney William A. O'Leary and his Legacy Planning Law Group.

|i know i can re pot the pups but what can I do about the 2 larger plants with the woody looking stems at the base?
Mar 6, 2016 1:31 PM CST
| @cindisc
You can cut to your heart's content. All those long, gangly ones can be cut back to the soil-line if you wish, trim the brown stems off, leaving only a couple of inches, and root those ready-made, large aloe. You'll then have a bunch of plants and a neater "mother" plant as well.
By the way, please take a moment and go to your "Profile". Update your "Public Profile" by listing your location. That can be the USDA zone and/or your city/state. That way you location always shows up in the upper right hand corner. Knowing your location helps to answer many question you may post.

|Want to make sure, cut most of the woody stem roots and all, leave about two inches and replant that? Should I leave them out so it forms a callus? Thanks for previous reply.
Mar 6, 2016 4:11 PM CST
|I never bother with callusing, Cindi. They root readily. If you have a root or two along that woody stem, just leave it be and bury the stem so that the root(s) are covered. Keep the potting media moist to speed up rooting. Whether there are any roots already present is really immaterial though. It will root a bit quicker when there is already root(s) present.

|Hello Cindi, if you can wait a bit for mid Spring, you can cut off the upper part to the point there is the brown portion, allow just to callus a bit, and then plant in a well draining media. You may also want to look at the condition of mommy plant at the base, if there are offsets, you can easily separate them, or leave them be for awhile. I would put the plant in part sun, to allow it to recover for a few days.
I always allow my succulents to callus before I repot, except if it is really warm already and the plant is in very active growth and roots are showing. But right now, your plant will just be about to return to its active growing phase, and will still want to generate roots, so allow callus time, so the injured part heals.

|drdawg, My aloe is very old. Last year it started having brown spots on all the little branches. Is that bugs, or just old like me or is it a disease? If you know let me know. I love the plant without all the brown spots. cillay
Mar 11, 2016 12:31 PM CST
|@cillay, I am certainly no expert here, but I see those spots too on older leaves. I have never seen a single insect bother my aloe and don't think there is any disease going on either. My plants are all healthy. It could be an age situation, but don't know. You might want to just start new plants from pups. Aloe grows so vigorously, you'll have large plants in no time.

The Cleveland 24CGP10 floor model steamer is heated with natural gas, and the gas flow is controlled by a pressure regulator and control valve. A high-limit pressure safety switch shuts off the flow of gas when pressure becomes too much. The main power switch fills the generator with water. Up to 180 pounds of steam is produced per hour with the PowerPak steam generator. A standby mode maintains steaming temperature so the unit can be used immediately. Dry steam is maintained with a cold water condenser, and when the water is low, a secondary low water shut off safety turns off the unit.
Each compartment holds five 12-inch-by-20-inch-by-2.5-inch pans on stainless steel slide racks that remove for cleaning. The top and bottom of the steam chamber are creased to create more efficient draining of water. Coved corners are easy to clean out since dirt cannot get stuck in cracks and corners. Most of the Cleveland 24CGP10 floor model steamer is constructed from stainless steel, making it durable and resistant to corrosion. Reversible gaskets on the doors retain steam and hot air, while a latch keeps the doors closed.

[Presented blind, completely out of context!]
Opaque purple from core to rim.
Rich, deep, alcoholic nose of mint, leather and cassis.
Very full bodied and chewy with flavours of sweet cassis and mint, lots of oak, firm tannins, good acidity and a long, concentrated finish.
Chewy, young and lovely now, this should repay 4 to 5 years in the cellar.

|A genuine UD Good Karma bru
To a large degree I blame youtube. It all started with the thousands of makeup tutorials that became the millenial pastime of anyone who not necessarily loved makeup, but loved attention. I don't begrudge them that: we all need a little bit of love, even if it is from total strangers who are also in search of something...a sense of belonging perhaps. Which leads me to the reason I can't watch any more... there's only so much heavily done makeup, nonsensical contouring, and caterpillar brow-enhancing that I can take, dammit.
|Authentic UD
|Too good to be true at R299...?!?
|When in doubt...
And then there's the danger that may seem trivial, but if you are in any way sensitive or allergic, then please beware! If you don't know what you're putting on your skin... I'll leave it there.
|At R300 it seems like a steal... but you wouldn't would you...
|Authentic Urban Decay SMOKY palette sells for R850
When the authentic product retails for R850, I'm sure there's a voice in your head going: but what if they got it for free and they just want to offload it for cash. Well, this person might have gotten this and all the other items on her list for free, but my fake radar is twitching. Look, I don't know if it's fake...but it just seems odd. Wouldn't you agree??
Here's the rest of her list:
- Kylie Matte Liquid lips @ R220
- Naked Smoky eyes Pallette @ R300
- Mac Matte Lipsticks @ R180
- ABH Illuminator @ R250
- ABH Eyebrow Filler @ R180
- ABH Oval 6 piece Brush set @ R400
- Goats Hair Loose Brush set @ R250
- ABH powder Contour Kit @ R400
- Mac Definer Lash Mascara @ R180
- Glow Kit ABH @ R400
- ABH Eyeliner @ R160
With all these Anastasia Beverly Hills, Kylie, MAC and Urban Decay products floating about so freely, I begin to wonder WTF I'm buying!?! you would, too, wouldn't you...? So here's my advice: buy from a certified distributor, or better yet, directly from the brand. And if that is not possible, then please look around at what is available. I understand the temptation...because who knows what's really fake anyway, right...but who know what shit is in those products, and there's a very real chance that your R300 could just be buying some scary majat (South African slang for "low grade goods") that makes your skin fall off...or worse still: break out!!!
The more crap that filters into the market, the more at risk consumers will be...so just don't do it... Good Karma and all.
I'd like to know how you feel about this, so please leave a comment??

Yippee! The holidays are here! The holidays are here! I'm a FREAK about Christmas! Love it! Love it! Love it! But, with the holidays, also comes additional stress. Or should I say STRESSORS? Everything intensifies around the holidays, errands to run, baking to do, travel plans to make all creates additional stress. You would THINK that is the stress that I'm talking about. But, NO! I'm talking about WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR TO ALL OF THE HOLIDAY PARTIES? I can't possibly wear the same thing to any of them and I have such a variety of parties to go to...work party, neighborhood party, a charity event, oh, the list goes on.
In addition to NOT know what to wear to all these parties, it's the stress of trying to determine what is the dress code for each of these parties. Fortunately, over the years, I've been able to break down translation of the typical dress codes. Here is what I know:
Formal/Black Tie: Long evening gowns or dressy evening coordinates.
Black Tie Optional: Long evening gowns or gives the option that you could wear a cocktail length gown.
Cocktail: Mid calf (tea) or short length dresses. Flirty and fun designs with ruffles, sequins, and embellishments acceptable.
Business Formal: Cocktail length dresses that are tailored and more conservative. Can still be accented in fun fabrics, jewel tone colors, or embellishments. Just don't go overboard. Stay classic!
Casual: Take your "everyday" wear up a notch when attending a party. Jeans, skirts, and dresses acceptable, but give them a little festive flair (see below).
Festive: Have fun with it! Sequins, embellishments, metallic threads, and bold colors are all acceptable. "Festive" is typically attached to a dress code such as "festive casual" or "festive cocktail".
Typically, most holiday party dress codes will fall between cocktail and festive. So have fun with it! If it's a business/work party, DEFINITELY be cautious and lean more towards tailored and classic cuts! When you see "casual dress", feel free to come in jeans, but add some holiday flair to them like a velvet blazer or sequined cardigan. Come on, it is the holidays! Personally, I always lean towards festive when attending holiday parties. Why not? It's the only time of year that you can get away with looking like a Christmas tree! (Sometimes literally depending on the Christmas sweater of choice...hee..hee!)
There are many options available in stores right now! Find at least one holiday piece to add to your wardrobe this year. I guarantee it will instantly lift your spirits!
So, don't delay, enjoy the holiday cheer in style today!

I had a perfect outfit shot location in mind today, but by the time I could take the picture it was pouring cats and dogs and the location was outside so I didn't stop and do it. And by the time I got home it was dark and still pouring. Methinks that come winter we'll be seeing more office bathroom shots!
When I posted Monday's outfit on Facebook I asked folks how often they shop and learned that many of my friends share a trait with me: CHEAPNESS. And no, not in the tarty fun way. In the can't bear to give up significant money way.
I've been spending more on clothes lately though, and it feels good. I still won't spend more than $100 on any one piece and feel like $50 is more my sweet spot. But now that I know what looks better on me, and am really getting sense of what I need and where I would like to experiment, I find I am parting with my money a little more easily. And having a few places where I am secure in my size has helped with my online shopping. (As I may have mentioned, the local bricks and mortar stores are very very limited.)
So here's to stimulating the economy! Tomorrow I will wear a new pair of pants, just out of pure patriotism (which is why I put them on just to vote on Tuesday!)

Apostolic Outreach Ministries is looking for more space to manage the gifts that it keeps on giving.
The ministryÂ?s goal is to help get food and other supplies to people who need them Â? whether itÂ?s in a west-side South Bend neighborhood or East Africa.
The service, Â?a mission in motion,Â? celebrates its fifth anniversary from noon to 7 p.m. Aug. 23 with a school supplies giveaway and Â?Praise in the NeighborhoodÂ? featuring gospel groups.
Â?WeÂ?re a second harvest impact ministry,Â? says executive director Don Schifferl.
Â?We bring in food, clothing, durable medical supplies. We recycle it and put it back out into the community, in local churches and other organizations. We help recycle things and get them back to the people that need them.Â?
Â?We serve the servant,Â? added executive officer John Townsell. Â?We take goods, different things we can get, and pass it on. ThatÂ?s one of our goals Â? find a need and fill a need.Â?
The ministry at 311 S. Bendix Drive, meets local needs every Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon, when it opens for individuals to get food.
An example might be a migrant farm worker family from Texas that had nowhere else to turn.
Goods also go to such far-flung places of need as Kenya and Uganda, Chicago, Appalachia and an Indian reservation in North Dakota.
Apostolic Outreach Ministries is a conduit for many local agencies, businesses and individuals who donate.
Â?We get stuff from Feed the Children, Northern Indiana Food Bank and other organizations that donate to us,Â? Schifferl said.
Other donors include stores, restaurants and CarbonÂ?s, a maker of waffle and pancake mix that donates tons of product.
These days, that stuff is piled high in one of the ministryÂ?s three small buildings on South Bendix Street Â? sacks of dried peas, cases of pancake and waffle mix, boxes stuffed with donated clothing that needs to be sorted and shipped.
Â?So far, about 90 percent is food,Â? Schifferl said. Â?Clothing is the stuff that goes overseas Â? clothing and literature.
Â?ItÂ?s been a continual strong growth. This last year, itÂ?s really taken off, especially in the last few months. WeÂ?re ready to expand.Â?
The donations, increasing in a time of economic downturn, fuel the all-volunteer ministryÂ?s faith.
Â?WeÂ?ve been doing everything by faith,Â? Townsell said. Â?ItÂ?s been coming in.Â?
Vida Harley-Bridges, a South Bend native who has been a community organizer in Milwaukee, came home to lend her organizational talents to the group as its development officer.
Â?God sent me here to help them. IÂ?m trying to help them build infrastructure,Â? said Harley-Bridges, who organizes volunteers to help with the work.
Â?People are willing to help. You just have to ask them.Â?
When the ministry started five years ago, Ralph Miles of Universal Holy Family, who owns the buildings, helped with everything from introductions to tax-exemption advice.
Others donated freezers and other appliances. Goods have always come in.
Now, because of its growth, the ministry is asking for more warehouse space, coolers, trucks, computers and space for other services, including educational programs.
Â?WeÂ?ve been pushing it,Â? Townsell said, Â?but now itÂ?s starting to push us.Â?

We all know that getting out in the fresh air can ease tension and make us feel good but now according to research from the UK, spending just 5 minutes outdoors exercising in a "green space", can improve your mental health by boosting your mood and your self esteem.
"For the first time in the scientific literature, we have been able to show dose-response relationships for the positive effects of nature on human mental health" said Professor Jules Pretty from the University of Essex and leader of the research study.
The study involved looking at information on 1,250 people from a combination of 10 different studies.
The type of exercise the researchers examined included gardening, walking, cycling, fishing, boating, farming and horse riding, which took place in a nature setting such as a garden, park or nature trail.
Ok so we already know that a spot of fresh air can blow away the cobwebs and help you feel good but there are some interesting aspects to this research.
What was particularly interesting is that this type of exercise carried out in a nature setting or "green space" appeared to have the biggest impact on younger people and those who were stressed, inactive, or suffering from a mental illness.
"Employers, for example, could encourage staff in stressful workplaces to take a short walk at lunchtime in the nearest park to improve mental health" said Jules Pretty.
Another researcher in the study, Dr Jo Barton, also from Essex, reckons that if people took a daily walk in the countryside it would save the health service money and help keep the doctor away.
"There is a large potential benefit to individuals, society and to the costs of the health service if all groups of people were to 'self -medicate' more with green exercise" said Barton.
Other interesting findings revealed by the research were that although a longer time spent in the outdoors had positive benefits, the greatest benefit was actually seen in the first five minutes of being in the outdoors, and the most effective nature setting was somewhere near water such as a lake or a river.
The researchers claim that the study "confirms that the environment provides an important health service".
The research has been published in the Environmental Science and Technology journal.

A few months ago, Destination Software announced a licensing deal with Electronic Arts, giving Destination the rights to produce Game Boy Advance versions of select EA game titles. One of the games in the deal is Medal of Honor Underground, and Destination sent over a handful of screenshots of the GBA version in action.
The company didn't offer any details of the portable conversion, so we don't have all the pertinent information...but we do know that this game will utilize a raycasting engine similar to Doom on the GBA for its first person perspective. The game is reportedly in development at UK-based Rebellion, the studio responsible for Alien vs. Predator on the Atari Jaguar.
We'll have more facts as the game progresses into development. Click on the link below to check out all the screens of Medal of Honor Underground for the GBA.

We took an amazing hike on March 17, 2016!!! We walked the entire way up the Koko Crater Railway Trail, totaling between 1000 and 1100 stairs!!! We even brought our dog, Maui, and he loved it! Sophia walked all the way up to the top and pretty much the entire way down all by herself with little to no complaints! I held her hand for most of the way down, simply because of the steepness of the stairs, but she wasn't carried or pampered and did an amazing job!!! The view at the top was absolutely spectacular!!!!! We reached the top and ate some sandwiches for our lunch before walking around and exploring the top. The visibility was so great that we could see the outline of Molokai. There is a tunnel at the top leading into an old bunker that was pretty interesting to walk around inside. Part of the way up the stairs there is a spot where the stairs are no longer on the solid ground, but rather form a bridge. It was so fun, although challenging for the kids and dog with their tiny legs, but it was so great!!! I highly recommend this hike to anyone visiting Oahu. We spent a total of about 4 hours round trip on the stairs, but this is MUCH longer than it typically takes. Tiny legs, but slow and steady was safe and still fun!
Land Adventures
Pearl Harbor/Arizona Memorial/Pacific Aviation Museum
On March 16, 2016 I took the kids on a trip to visit Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial, and the Pacific Aviation Museum located on Ford Island. These sites are amazing and humbling and beautiful in a horrible way. These historic sites were fun in a small way, in that we got to see all of the planes in the museum and the remnants of such beautiful ships. It also ended up being a quiet learning day for the kids, who at 6 and 4 realize that death happens and our freedom in America comes at a cost. This trip was amazing from a historic perspective. I spent much of the day explaining to the kids what everything meant and why it was so important to understand. The questions of why the attack happened definitely came up, which also proved to be a wonderful experience in teaching such small, innocent people that although such horrible interactions between America and Japan took place, we are working towards cooperation with each other and with a mutual understanding of respect between us because sometimes bad things happen and we cannot hate everyone who is different than us or everyone who does us wrong. This post has a more somber tone to it much like the day itself did, but it was a wonderful, educational, and inspiring trip to see and teach the children from nonetheless.
Keaiwa Heiau Camping
I am a bit late posting this, but I have been busy with packing, cleaning, and classes. We had our first land adventure earlier this month! It obviously wasn't our first ever, but it was our first since starting this blog.
We went camping March 11-13 at the Keaiwa Heiau State Park! It was beautiful, and fun, and cold.
We took a roughly 4 mile hike, had hot chocolate with marshmallows, and made smores. Our hike was along the Aiea Loop Trail. It had some incredible views!!! We even got to see the WWII airplane that had unfortunately crashed there on its second flight. We found a Jackson's Chameleon. The kids, and the Boy Scout Troop we were hiking and camping near, got a history lesson about the plane and a biology lesson before we put him back. The children named him Pickles! Hopefully Pickles has a nice long life and will help educate more hikers.
In our tents, I was freezing!!! I had my wonderful plaid fleece pjs on (in Hawaii) and was curled up in a cold weather sleeping bag. The wind up there seeped through everything!!! Thankfully the hot fire and hot coffee in the morning was amazing! I recommend getting a french press if you don't have one! Just boil the water and it works like tea! No coffee pot or electric needed. I loved our tent! I got it specifically for this trip because the kids could have their own tent and I would have my dog with me, so Sophia's teepee style owl tent wouldn't work for them. I decided on this amazing 3 person tent. It was so easy to put up and I loved the awning in the front so I could keep shoes out of the rain and out of the tent. Then I slept in it. It was sweltering it there!!! I went to open the windows to let in some air, but I quickly realized that the wonderful tent that I loved so much could only have air flow if I go out of the tent and unzip the rainfly from the outside! This major design flaw really ruined the tent for me, so I am now looking into other options! I am always trying to improve our experiences. What I've learned from this adventure is that I need a tent with windows that open from the inside (preferably with the awning still), a lantern to see what we are eating if it gets dark quicker than expected, flip flops for everyone in case the ground is rocky at camp so we don't wear boots the ENTIRE trip, and head lamps for everyone! We already can't wait for our next trip!

The Effect of a Year-Long Internship on First-Year Teaching Performance: Studying the Effectiveness of the Internship.
Boser, Judith A.
This study examined the effectiveness of a fifth-year teacher preparation program that included a year-long internship as preparation for the first full year of full-time teaching. Subjects for the study were nine first-year teachers who had completed the year-long internship as part of their certification program and were subsequently employed as teachers by the school system in which they had served as interns. For comparison purposes, two of three student teachers who completed certification requirements at the same time as the interns, trained at the same university, and were employed in the same schools as the interns were included in the study. The interns will provide insights into the relationship between the internship program and the following year of teaching. Their principals were included in the study to form comparisons between the performance of the interns and that of student teachers whom they had supervised as first-year teachers. Data were collected through interviews and observations. Final analyses that will yield a composite of the study were in the process of being completed. (JD)

Saturnian satellite observations made in Brazil during the 1995 opposition with an astrometric analysis
Institut de mécanique céleste et de calcul des éphémérides -Observatoire de Paris, UMR 8028 du CNRS, 77 avenue Denfert-Rochereau, 75014 Paris, France
2 Université de Lille, 9000 Lille, France

Accepted: 4 October 2001
This paper provides an analysis of astrometric measurements of the main Saturnian satellites made thanks to CCD observations performed in 1995 at the Laboratório Nacional de Astrofísica at Itajubá in Brazil. The astrometric reduction is discussed especially the small corrections done here, but most of time neglected elsewhere. A catalog of 6006 differential positions has been obtained. They have been compared to different ephemerides, the Vienne & Duriez ephemerides (TASS 1.7), the Harper & Taylor ephemerides and the Dourneau ephemerides. These observations provide a large set of modern observations, and appear to be of good precision. This accuracy is needed for future use of these data to improve the dynamical models. These positions are included in the data base NSDC dedicated to the natural satellites ( ftp://ftp.bdl.fr/pub/NSDC/saturn/raw_data/position/). They are also available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (22.214.171.124) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/380/727
Key words: planets and satellites: individual: Saturn / astrometry

Golden Retriever Training - Stopping Bad Behaviors# 7 Labrador Retriever - among the numerous factors this is such a popular pet dog with the American Kennel Club and with families alike, the eager intelligence and quick response in emergency situations makes this pet dog a perfect buddy.
During the afternoon on Friday, the temperature level had actually been as high as 60 degrees. At 3:00 AM the temperature was 17 degrees and the wind chill brought it down to 12 degrees. Bob and I had our pet dogs in our vehicles and that indicated that we had to keep heading out to the automobiles and run the engine to keep it warm for the canines. I have a drape in my van that hangs simply behind the dog crate to assist keep the heat up front in the maxi van. I was able to keep the temp about 68 degrees throughout the night. At dawn, we went to the Victoria Inns to stick with Max and Anna till we might examine into the Knights Inn.
Look for a veterinarian that you could trust with your Golden Retriever. He/ She needs to have the ability to understand exactly what is best for your quickly to be animal. He/ She should also know the pet's present condition and know exactly what is happening with their health and be able to explain them to the owner.
Golden Rerievers KNOT, especially in the rear end, behind the ears, the underarms and under the tail. This type has to be brushed weekly to preserve a tangle complimentary coat that moves with the dog and doesn't catch wetness, triggering skin problems. The best brush is a tough slicker brush followed by a steel comb.
Individuals that needed to evacuate were notified by WBRE-TV there was a girl in Clark Top, a town about twenty-five miles away, that had a big heated horse barn and was making it offered to family pets, however they had to remain in crates. Also, a few of the boarding kennels out of the flood location still had jobs.
One type of breeder is referred to as a backyard breeder. The backyard breeder is somebody that keeps dogs for the sole purpose of having puppies and offering them for an earnings.
Terrific Black Golden Retriever Material follows if somebody heads toward the snack device. Then she waits. She views and sits if they sit down to consume their snack. It's an unblinking, uncompromising look as the passengers take. Occasionally she'll raise a paw. She never ever barks. I have actually never ever heard her bark in all the years I have actually understood her. Obviously, youngsters are easy targets due to the fact that they have a habit of dropping their food. And they are constantly abnormally generous. Feeding animals is instinctive with kids.
After passengers get their travel luggage, she accompanies them to the front door where they are satisfied by taxis, fans, friends, or family members. She is one of the great starlets of this generation. Stella Adler would have been happy.

For this project, you will need:
- Scor-Pal
- Scor-Tape
- One 4 1/4" x 8 1/2"" piece of card stock
- One 3 7/8" x 3 7/8" piece of card stock
- One 3 5/8" x 3 5/8" piece of card stock
- One 3 3/8" x 3 3/8" piece of card stock
- Three kinds of double sided patterned paper
- One 1 5/8" circle die or punch
- Heart die or punch
- Paper snips
- Stamps
- Ink
- Dimensional adhesive
- Embellishments as desired
After die-cutting or punching three circles from each pattern, place a circle in your Scor-Pal as shown. Score at 1/4". Rotate 90 degrees and score at 1/4" again. Do this two more times so that you have a scored square inside your circle. (Tip: Be sure to place the pattern face down that you want to peek out of the circle.)
Burnish the folds on all four sides. Repeat the previous step and this step for the remaining pattern paper circles.
Line the 3 3/8" by 3 3/8" piece of card stock with Scor-Tape.
Remove the adhesive backing on the Scor-Tape and adhere the scored circles to the card stock. Make sure that the sides are touching.
Continue to remove adhesive backing and line up scored circles until card stock is filled. Mat this layer on top of the 3 5/8" by 3 5/8" piece of card stock.
Continue with mats and embellish as desired. This card is matted one more time with a 3 7/8' by 3 7/8" piece of card stock and then mounted on a 4 1/4" square card base. The heart was punched from some card stock and stamped with a delicate pattern. The sentiment was stamped on a 3/8" strip of card stock. The strip was adhered to the back of the heart and the opposite end was forked with paper snips. A small bow of baker's twine was tied and attached to the top of the heart. Finally, the heart and sentiment strip were attached with dimensional adhesive to the scored circle layer.
This concludes my tutorial for the August More Than One Score Challenge.
Details: Stamps: Happy Banner (MFT), Bubble Talk (PTI); Paper: Whisper White, Pink Passion, Tempting Turquoise, Hopscotch Fancy Pants Designer Paper; Ink: Tuxedo Black, Versamark; Accessories: Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape, Spellbinders Circle dies, heart punch, paper snips, baker's twine, mini glue dots, stampin' dimensionals.

The backbone of many a brand and marketing campaign. Is this a good match? Does this relationship have the staying power or just another one night fling?

Honor Quotes
Honor Quotes
These are some of the best 'Honor' quotations and sayings.
All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.
Andrew Carnegie
Better to die ten thousand deaths than wound my honor.
Joseph Addison
For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men.
William Shakespeare
Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And outlive the bastards.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Hereditary honors are a noble and a splendid treasure to descendants.
Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part: there all the honor lies.
Alexander Pope
Honor is like the eye, which cannot suffer the least impurity without damage. - It is a precious stone, the price of which is lessened by a single flaw.
Jacques Benigne Bossuet
Honor is not a matter of any man's calling merely, but rather of his own actions in it.
John S. Dwight
Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.
Honor is unstable, and seldom netthe same; for she feeds upon opinion, and is as fickle as her food. She builds a lofty structure on the sandy foundation of the esteem of those who are of all beings the most subject to change.
Charles Caleb Colton
Honor lies in honest toil.
Grover Cleveland
Honor wears different coats to different eyes.
Barbara Tuchman
Honor's a sacred tie, - the noble mind's distinguishing perfection, that aids and strengthens virtue where it meets her, and imitates her actions, where she is not.
Joseph Addison
I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honor more.
Richard Lovelace
If it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offensive soul alive.
William Shakespeare
Let honor be to us as strong an obligation as necessity is to others.
The Elder Pliny
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
William Shakespeare
Mine honor is my life; both grow in one; take honor from me and my life is done.
William Shakespeare
No amount of ability is of the slightest avail without honor.
Andrew Carnegie
Our own heart, and not other men's opinions form our true honor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Did you have time and energy to preambulate all the way around the crater? Is that steam and ash wafting out of the throat? Sorry for all the questions, just that Cotopaxi is one of my favorites. Welcome to SummitPost!

Hi JoelSkok,
no I didn't do the circuit. One told me, that it's around 3km and pretty crevassed. What we tried is hiking up the south face and continuing on the crater rim to the main summit. Unfortunately we hat to turn back at 5600m due to bad weather and difficult route finding.

Looks like you are at the summit to me, albeit might be a false one. Still a terrific memory- clad adventure. It is on my list for sure once I get the opportunity.

Kids like to play with blocks, so it makes perfect sense that a child would request a Lego themed birthday party, complete with matching cupcakes. These particular cupcakes come in both chocolate and vanilla flavors, so each attendee has his or her choice. The frosting matches the cupcakes, making it easier to choose. However, the real stand out are the fondant Lego "bricks" placed on top of each treat. They are edible, and really carry out the theme, don't you think?

Lego Cupcakes
Whether you're celebrating your child's First Lego League victory or simply want to create something memorable to serve at a birthday party, these lego cupcakes fit the bill. The cupcakes themselves are pretty basic, vanilla batter in a whimsically striped paper liner, but that's okay, it's the edible lego-shaped chocolate candy on each that really makes them special. Thanks to a little meltable candy coating and a lego-piece shaped ice cube tray, you can create these awesome, yet tasty, masterpieces!

Evolution of plate torsion haptic IOLs: how design changes impact on clinical outcomes
(results will display both Free Papers & Poster)
Session Details
Session Title: IOL technology/New IOLs etc.
Session Date/Time: Saturday 13/09/2014 | 08:30-10:30
Paper Time: 08:36
Venue: Boulevard A
First Author: : S.Kuznetsov RUSSIA
Co Author(s): : T. Galeev T. Silnova
Abstract Details
Analysis of clinical results of implantation of two models of plate torsion haptic IOLs (open bag device).
Department of Ophthalmology, Penza Federal State Institute for Postgraduate Medical Studies of the Ministry of Health of Russian Federation, Penza, Russia.
Two models of hydrophobic open bag devices – plate torsion haptic IOLs – MIOL-27 and modified MIOL-27 Soft by "Reper-NN Ltd." (Russia) 5,5 x 15,5 x 0,2 mm by size differing in design and rigidity of haptics were used. The lenses were implanted after uncomplicated routine PHACO through the incision of 2.2 mm: MIOL-27 on 170 eyes of 146 patients, follow-up up 1 to 5.5 years, and MIOL-27 Soft on 20 eyes of 20 patients, follow-up up 6 months to 1 year. All patients were completely examined in pre-op and post-op including post-op UBM-monitoring of lens position. A clarifying calculation of A-constants for both IOL models was performed on the basis of the IOL position and refractive results of surgery.
All implantations were no complicated. Position of both IOL models was stable according to UBM data and did not change over the entire follow-up. Visual acuity corresponded to retinal. A-constants set based on refractive re-sults of surgery and different lenses positions according to UBM biometric. MIOL-27 lens completely restored the volume of native lens, and its position did not differ significantly from the preoperative position of native lens posterior capsule. A-constant was 122.6. MIOL-27 Soft does not completely replace the volume of remote lens and its optic was located closer to the eye anterior segment. A-constant was 120.0.
Both IOL models demonstrated their safety and efficacy in recovery of anatomic and topographic relationships in the eye after cataract removing as well as a prevention of secondary cataract. Also they meet to modern re-quirements in micro-invasive cataract surgery. Individual A-constants for each lens design were set. It should be noted that more soft haptics of the second lens model easily folded in the cartridge, and the lens was more stable in the capsular bag intra-op during implantation. Also the features of the design and rigidity of this lens are the cause of A-constant change and more forward IOL position.

This watercolor painting is also based on a photograph that I found on PMP. I thought that the Red pear against the Monochromatic background is striking.
I saw the original photo a long time ago and finally decided to paint it,the original photograph belongs to a very talented photographer,his name is Viacheslav.
it is a watercolor painted on Arches and for this piece I used Cold pressed paper. it was a good-positive feeling to get this specific painting done,I'm really happy with it.
I'm actually considering to include this piece for the next SCWS. which is going to be next August,I think.
it measures 20"x14" and it was finished on Jan. the 16th '16

The first step is to create a complete and relevant profile. LinkedIn is for business networking – complete your profile from a business perspective. Research indicates that LinkedIn members with a 100% complete profile with comprehensive and appropriate business-oriented information are 40 times more likely to receive requests for connections, jobs and other opportunities.
- LinkedIn tracks your profile completeness – get it to 100%.
- Always include a good, recent photo – just you, no pets, significant others, toys or anything else in the photo.
- Include maiden names, nicknames, AKA names, etc. to help people to find you.
- List and provide links to your business-related website(s) and blog(s).
- Include acronyms and spell them out to ensure you are included in relevant searches.
- Include relevant keywords in various areas of your profile to help being included in searches.
- Review your profile – are you representing yourself in the manner you wish to be known?
- Thoroughly edit your profile – no grammar or spelling mistakes or other typos.
- Personalize your LinkedIn URL and make your profile public.
Having a 100% complete profile with comprehensive content is just the beginning – the real value is participating in the LinkedIn community:
- Connect with people. Find business associates, current and former colleagues, customers, etc. to invite to your LinkedIn network.
- Do not try to connect with people you don't know, if several people respond with "I don't know this person" you will be required to know people's emails to initiate future connections.
- Write recommendations for others and ask them to write recommendations for you. Recommendations significantly improve your credibility and network presence.
- Join and participate in relevant groups.
- Start your own group if you are willing to make the time commitment to manage it.
- Answer questions to demonstrate your expertise and build credibility.
- Provide regular status updates of interest on your profile.
- Check the various updates from your community on your home page every day. Find possible participation opportunities and members to invite for connecting with you.
- Add a link to your LinkedIn public profile to your email signature.
- Depending on your business and objectives with LinkedIn, consider whether the additional fee-based services and advertising are worthwhile.
How to use this information to benefit your business
- Think of LinkedIn as your expanded calling card on the Internet – if people want to know who you are or who is behind a particular business, they'll search on LinkedIn or find your public profile via a general Internet search.
- You and your business are intertwined – a good business-oriented personal profile and appropriate participation activity can promote your business.
- Don't be spammy to promote yourself or your business. Participating and contributing to the community and demonstrating your expertise by helping others will produce much better results.
- Check out what your competitors are doing on LinkedIn and who they are connected to.

Can you think of a more skilled film director than David Fincher? Seriously. I don't mean a hyphenated writer/director, or an outright auteur filmmaker, but just as a flat-out visual storyteller, who's been better than Fincher over the last 20 years or so? Ridley Scott maybe? But even now, at this stage of their respective careers, I'm not even sure that argument holds water. To my mind, if we're simply talking about the ability to take someone's script, one you had very little to no involvement in creating, and turning that script into a masterful-mélange of sound and image...very few, if any, rank higher than Fincher. Dude's the man in that regard, and has been so since making killer, cutting-edge music videos back in the 80s and 90s.
Of course, we here at AITH will always remain partial to Fincher because of his intrinsic love of all things genre. ALIEN 3, SE7EN, THE GAME, FIGHT CLUB, PANIC ROOM, ZODIAC and THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO are all top-notch efforts that actually transcend their genre in a way that will endure ad infinitum in the ether of pop culture. Well, maybe not ALIEN 3, but you get the point. And since he's putting the finishing touches on his new flick GONE GIRL, lads and lasses, let us Dissect the two-decade career of one David Fincher!
In terms of striking a balance between huge mainstream success and endured pop cultural resonance - Fincher's finest films have to be SE7EN and FIGHT CLUB, both of which happen to star Brad Pitt. But since the former is a tad more AITH appropriate, let's examine why SE7EN continues to work so well...
SE7EN turns 20 years old next year, and having just seen it recently, I can honestly say few 20 year old films hold up as well as Fincher's grim masterwork of detective fiction. It starts with the wildly imaginative script by Andrew Kevin Walker, laying such an original conceit around a psychotic serial killer using the 7 Deadly Sins as his basis for justified murder. Jon Doe is a monster, no doubt, but it's that he thinks he's actually doing society good by dispatching his carefully chosen victims - criminals, all - that truly disturbs the line of moral conscience. Original scenes of horror like the overfed Gluttony victim, or the Lusty hooker who gets fucked to death by a bladed-dildo...all start on the page. So too does the jaw-dropping finale (or should I say head dropping), which, believe it or not, the studio pleaded for Fincher to scrap once it came to filming. But star Brad Pitt used whatever clout he had at the time and said he refused to make the movie unless the original ending was left intact. He got his way.
And that brings us to casting. Can you think of a more perfectly-pitched odd couple of dicks working the case than Pitt and Freeman - the salty old vet and the scrappy upstart? Hell, maybe Hart and Cohle from True Detective, which no doubt has SE7EN to directly thank. But then you also have Kevin Spacey, who won an Oscar the same year for playing Keyser Soze, giving one of the most genuinely chilling performances I can personally recall. So calm, so subdued, yet so clear in his twisted logic, and so maniacally monstrous in his murderous ways. The rain-dappled Seattle setting was also an inspired choice, adding a dark and dreary visual aesthetic that perfectly reinforces the story material. Look, I could go on and on, but we all know SE7EN remains one of the all time best serial-killer-detective flicks, in near totality because of David Fincher!
Even Fincher's worst is superior to roughly 80% of the field, so take this indictment with a grain of salt. And sure, we could easily cite ALIEN 3, David's feature debut, as his worst effort. But since it was his first time out, and let's face it, having to succeed Ridley Scott and James Cameron was a losing proposition to start with - let's instead call PANIC ROOM Fincher's weakest film to date. Not a bad film though, far from it, but as a much-awaited follow-up to FIGHT CLUB, I'm sure more than a few were disappointed with the overall result. It just felt like a step backwards for Fincher.
In the high-tech home invasion thriller - Jodie Foster plays a rich Manhattanite who moves into a gaudy new brownstone with her daughter Kristin Stewart. There, the two are met by the most random of thieving trios - Forrest Whitaker, Jared Leto and Dwight Yoakam - who break into the new abode looking for the vast riches tucked away on the property. A slick cat and mouse game ensues, as Foster her and daughter hole up inside the titular panic room, which is equipped with all kinds of surveillance and survival gadgets (air, water, etc). Again, it's a solid thriller, but for a Fincher effort, feels sort of sleight and underwhelming...especially in its redolence of WAIT UNTIL DARK, the sublime Audrey Hepburn thriller from 1967. Yet, as a single-set claustrophobic thriller, you can do a lot worse than PANIC ROOM.
Like the great Stanley Kubrick, Fincher has earned a rep for being a fastidious craftsman, a tireless perfectionist who often demands many takes to achieve a desired shot. Some actors love it, some hate it, but one thing remains certain, it's Fincher's show and he'll do whatever it takes to properly lens his vision. Gotta respect a dude like that. Of course, that's just scratching the surface of Fincher's directorial trademarks. He also peppers his pictures with personal touches that show up again and again, such as splicing a flash-frame image into seemingly unrelated scene, a la FIGHT CLUB. Low angles, dingy key-lighting, wide shots, balletic tracking sequences, faces in silhouette, static shots of a person slowly walking into focus - are all visual techniques Fincher time and time again employs in his own distinct way to achieve optimal effect. The dude has mastered the frame!
Then of course, there's the thematic. One of the reasons why we love Fincher so much is because of his never-ending fascination with humanity's dark side. His films normally feature broken protagonists, with downbeat endings, often involving either a failed or successful suicide attempt. Dude's unafraid to go to hellish places with his stories and characters, yet constantly keeps them riveting and entertaining every step of the way. Hell, dude did a movie about Facebook and made the shite play out like bank heist...dude's got that kind of chops!
Because of the overshadowing success of SE7EN and FIGHT CLUB, I feel pretty strongly there's a pair of hidden gems sitting under Fincher's circum-vitae. The first is THE GAME, which I hold a nostalgic fondness for having seen it in the theater with my dad when I was 14. Loved it then, and like Fincher's others, I still love the way it holds up to this day. What a damn good flick! Often cited as the exemplary post-modern film work - THE GAME is one of those dizzying, narrative-within-the-narrative puzzles that blurs the line between what's real and what's staged - all surrounding one man's personal game. In this case, it's Nicolas Van Orton, played beautifully by Michael Douglas - as a powerful but icy-cold business man in much need of an attitude adjustment. That he gets, and much more, as his brother Conrad (Sean Penn) arranges the most elaborate hoax ever conceived. Through a series of near death experiences, Nicolas is forced the hard to way to appreciate life, with this newfound perspective serving as a major change agent. He's no longer the cold, calculating, money-obsessed asshole...he's been humbled and humiliated, brought back to earth. A wonderful film with a trenchant message!
An equally wonderful film, perhaps even more deeply layered, is Fincher's ZODIAC from 2007. To me this is the real hidden gem in David's resume, as criminally overlooked by the masses as the murderer in the story itself - the infamous Zodiac Killer. Evocative of the great 70s crime-thrillers we all know and love, almost ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN-like, ZODIAC follows the investigation at the granular level - tracking the smallest leads, following clues, finding dead-ends, landing an unexpected break, etc...the kind of micro-detective work television has adopted in stuff like The Wire and True Detective. Again, Fincher's attention to detail in recreating Northern California in the 70s is absolutely impeccable, the sets, the costumes, the film stock, the cars and customs...all dead on! Of course, what's a film without its cast? ZODIAC features fine performances by Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, John Caroll Lynch, Brian Cox, Anthony Edwards, Elias Koteas, Chloe Sevigny, John Getz and many more...in a sweeping epic of a 242 minute runtime. And perhaps best of all? In typical Fincher fashion, the film ends on an untidy down-note, sans of pat Hollywood happy endings. Of course, the material called for such, as the real-life Zodiac Killer was never caught.
Perhaps poised for an awards season run, Fincher's next flick is a thrilling quasi-whodunit called GONE GIRL, currently slated for an October 3, 2014 release. The project, which longtime TV critic turned novelist Gillian Flynn adapted into a screenplay from her own novel, seems perfectly suitable for what Fincher does best: murder, mystery and intrigue!
Peep the official synopsis:
On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne reports that his wife, Amy, has gone missing. Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy, Nick's portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies, deceits and strange behavior have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife?"
No bullshit, given the premise, is there a better director to realize such material? I highly doubt it, which is probably why the tagline for GONE GIRL simply boasts: "From The Director of SE7EN and ZODIAC." That indicates what kind of tone and tenor the flick should follow, and the investigative nature of the narrative that Fincher is so damn skilled at crafting. Based on his talent alone, and proven track record in this arena, I instantly catapult GONE GIRL to the top of the 2014 must-see list, even if it does star Ben Affleck. Oh I jape, but the truth is, Fincher has earned the right to regard every new flick of his a priority.
Any true film buff should know deep down that David Fincher is pretty peerless as a film director. Dude represents quality over quantity in the best sense of the phrase, taking his time, never rushing or compromising his vision. He's made 10 features in roughly 22 years, including ALIEN 3, SE7EN, FIGHT CLUB, PANIC ROOM, ZODIAC, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO and soon, GONE GIRL will round out Fincher's genre resume to date. In fact, only THE SOCIAL NETWORK and THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON don't have deep seeded genre roots, the other 8 films not only celebrate genre, they all, each one of them, transcend the form they follow. While SE7EN and FIGHT CLUB are likely to remain the flicks he's most noted for, both THE GAME and ZODIAC deserve to mentioned in the same breath. They're truly tremendous flicks.
Even in the rare missteps, ALIEN 3 and PANIC ROOM, Fincher imbues his trademark style that instantly elevates the material, and does so in such a distinguished way that you can usually tell when you're watching a Fincher flick. That's the highest compliment right there, one made even more impressive due to the fact Fincher has never written any of the scripts he's filmed. Dude's a specialist of the highest talent!

What happens when the world doesn't work the way it's intended to work? What happens when a little boy is supposed to be saved from a life of abuse and neglect but in the end doesn't? What happens when Zayn Malik's life turns out the exact opposite from what he should be getting? Well that's what's about to happen. Going back ten years, Louis Tomlinson-Styles never noticed the suffering his four year old neighbor was going through. Never did he see the bruises or the flinches or the tear stains that made up the boy. Now ten years later Zayn Malik is starting his first day of high school with Mr. Tomlinson as his drama teacher. Will somebody finally notice the boy's suffering or will he continue on this road of agony?

Second time reading this, and when I finish it the second time I'm going to reread "A Broken World" ! #TooTurnt

I'm confused is this the same as 'A Broken World'? Just Zayn never gets adopted by Louis and Harry?
