The Story Of The Real ANNABELLE Doll The 13th Floor
Baby doll lingerie consists of a short nightie worn with matching panties. six are in the I Really like Lucy series and 1 is a Lucille Ball (non I adore lucy series doll). Time has been place into generating this chucky doll Really excellent quality Wonderful detail. In "The Left Hand" (2×06) she even goes as far as brutally squeezing the genitals of the head of the DC Dollhouse and threatening to his face to have him horrifically murdered – with no any trace of a bluff – if he doesn't return Echo to her. We get it, he was your teacher, but you are an adult now, with a kid and this man ruined your sister's life, would you actually be calling him Mr Hanson" all the time. She speaks her thoughts, she does what she believes in and doesn't care about being ladylike." But sorry, Felicity, your adore for horses tends to make you one of those weird horse girls.
Like Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite, the (re-)vamped American Girl dolls now have a thigh gap. Though all toy makers would like to generate lengthy-term toys, only a few have succeeded in overcoming the irresistible force of the altering tastes of young children to create an on-going good results such as Barbie and her doll close friends. The Baby Alive Sweet Tears baby doll has an approximate retail price tag of $50, but it's worth each penny — the doll is extremely expressive. With all the best Barbie toys ranging from dream homes to dolls, and with dolls ranging from mermaid collector editions to that handsome devil, Ken, there's some fun for each imagination. Since American girl doll clothing adhere to trends, too, some of them might expense much more than the typical doll garments in the market place.
The Monster High dolls by Mattel have turn out to be the new sensation for young girls. Vogue's 11-inch Dora doll and 14 or 17-inch Sportswoman doll series were a couple of dolls supplied by Arranbee and repackaged by Vogue. Now individuals are taking parent organization Mattel to job over a controversial cornrow hairstyle featured on one particular of its black Barbie dolls. To get a lot more data on Sex Doll and diverse kinds of Sex Dolls pay a visit to our site nowadays. Girls who have lost a youngster or are unable to have young children uncover solace in taking care of the dolls. The company developed conventional Japanese meals items, like different canned tangerines. The enduring popularity of baby doll lingerie and panties is clear to see by the a lot of designers offering creations for each and every sort of woman from the most adventurous to the most conservative.
There is no far better gift than the gift of lingerie to assure that unique lady in your life that she is desirable, sexy and full of life. For Audrey's birthday, we went buying for her very first American Girl doll. This is a excellent way to not break the bank when acquiring doll garments for your small girl. Military Alphabet : The Los Angeles Dollhouse names its Actives from it. Washington DC uses Greek gods rather, suggesting that every single branch utilizes a distinct scheme. The infant homes of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the toy dollhouses of the 19th and early 20th century rarely had uniform scales, even for the attributes or contents of any a single individual property. The voodoo magic that "fuels" the killer dolls has also accelerated the pregnancy, and she soon provides birth to twins.
The business hopes that the new dolls, with their diverse physique varieties, along with the new skin tones and hair textures introduced last year, will more closely reflect their young owners' planet. The concise biographies of a tiny group of drug-addicted detainees at each and every institution are worked out with each other with the females and a series of identical porcelain Child Dolls produced who recount these biographies – in the women's own words – by means of an audio module. In 1950, the Essential West Art and Historical Society came in to clean and clear away debris and the reminders of its years of abandonment to open their 1st museum. Fortunately for my sanity, Annabelle did not do something scary even though I was in her presence, though I did see a moth flutter by her case at one point, and later, even though listening to a recording of the interview, I heard a horrible growl on the tape that was most likely my stomach but let's be actual, was a demon.

Over the weekend I decided to do some experimenting with CSS 3 fonts, shadows and transitions. I decided to use Adobe Kuler's API to power my little PHP experiment.
Adobe Kuler is a fantastic online color-picker, and more. You can create color themes based on an image, a color, engage with their community and interact through an API. The API part is what I liked the best.
I looked around and surprisingly there was no PHP library for Kuler, so I decided to create one. It is now hosted publicly in Github.
Usage is extremely simple:
require_once "Kuler/Api.php"; $kuler = new Kuler_Api('api_key'); $themes = $kuler->get('recent'); $colors = $themes[0]->getSwatchesHex(true); //>> array("#516373", "#6C838C", "#F2E8C9", "#F2B999", "#F2F2F2") $themeUrl = $themes[0]->getUrl(); //>> http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/1400104
I'll continue to color my website with themes from the Kuler community and will probably create a WordPress plugin soon as well. Any ideas, questions or requests, leave a comment!

differential gearing - Search Results
Articles About differential gearing
Articles are sorted by RELEVANCE. Sort by Date.
1 Mechanical Efficiency of Diffential Gearing (July/August 1986)
Mechanical efficiency is an important index of gearing, especially for epicyclic gearing. Because of its compact size, light weight, the capability of a high speed ratio, and the ability to provide differential action, epicyclic gearing is very versatile, and its use is increasing. However, attention should be paid to efficiency not only to save energy, but sometimes also to make the transmission run smoothly or to avoid a self-locking condition.
2 The U.S. Needs More Engineers (March/April 2008)
State Schools Lack Funding. Who Loses? We all do.
3 The Elementary Theory for the Synthesis of Constant Direction Pointing Chariots (or Rotation Neutralizers) (November/December 1988)
The south-pointing chariot exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., (circa 2600 BC)is shown in Fig. 1. Although the mechanism is ancient, it is by no means either primitive or simplistic. The pin-tooth gears drive a complex system, wherein the monk on the top of the chariot continues to point in a preset direction, no matter what direction the vehicle in moved, without a slip of the wheels.(1)
4 Efficient Methods for the Synthesis of Compound Planetary Differential Gear Trains for Multiple Speed Ratio Generation (July/August 1990)
This article presents an efficient and direct method for the synthesis of compound planetary differential gear trains for the generation of specified multiple speed ratios. It is a train-value method that utilizes the train values of the integrated train components of the systems to form design equations which are solved for the tooth numbers of the gears, the number of mating gear sets and the number of external contacts in the system. Application examples, including vehicle differential transmission units, rear-end differentials with unit and fractional speed ratios, multi-input functions generators and robot wrist joints are given.
5 Differential Gears (October 2012)

6 Vive la Differential (March/April 2017)
Your automobile's differential is easily one of its most important components. This becomes crystal clear to anyone that has ever had to pony up to replace one. The differential, that mathy-driven, mechanically complex system that keeps axles and pinions running smoothly was invented by a watchmaker - for a watch.
7 Constant Innovation Keeps Suppliers to Race Car Manufacturers Earning Trophies (May/June 2006)

Gary A. Bish, director of product design technology for Horsburgh & Scott, discusses his role as chairman of the AGMA mill gearing committee.
9 Development of Gear Technology and Theory of Gearing (July/August 1999)
I must admit that after thumbing through the pages of this relatively compact volume (113 pages, 8.5 x 11 format), I read its three chapters(theory of gearing, geometry and technology, and biographical history) from rear to front. It will become obvious later in this discussion why I encourage most gear engineers to adopt this same reading sequence!

WASHINGTON ― With its white clapboard walls, sloping lawns and broad porches, the famed Kennedy family compound on Cape Cod boasts commanding views of Nantucket Sound's shimmering waters.
The quiet six-acre compound in Hyannisport has for generations been a sanctuary for Sen. Edward Kennedy and his famed political family, a quiet enclave where the Kennedys have gathered for refuge from the rigors of politics and public life.
Now, more than a year into his battle with brain cancer, friends say Kennedy, 77, has retreated to the comfort and privacy of his seaside home and his beloved schooner "Mya," but has remained engaged from there in reforming the nation's health care system.
"He's driving health care reform," said Rep. William Delahunt, D-Mass., a close Kennedy friend whose district includes Kennedy's Cape Cod home. "He's very engaged and he's on the phone all the time on health care. That's his primary focus now."
Kennedy may appear thinner these days and more easily fatigued, but friends say he's determined to dramatically expand health care coverage, the cause of his life. Kennedy's brain cancer is keeping him away as the Senate tackles health care reform, but he's still pushing for a landmark bill that could be his career capstone.
"He's doing well and he's very engaged on it," said Sen. John Kerry, who visited with Kennedy recently.
As the health care debate intensifies, Kennedy is relying on Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd, the second-ranking Democrat on the health panel, as his point man.
Dodd, Kennedy's closest friend in the Senate, sat down for a lengthy dinner recently with Kennedy and his wife Vicki on the porch of Kennedy's home — a home steeped in history.
Kennedy's slain brother John F. Kennedy made his summer White House there. A decade ago, stricken family members met there to mourn the loss of John F. Kennedy Jr., whose plane plunged into the waters near Martha's Vineyard on his way to Hyannis Port for a cousin's wedding. Kennedys have hosted countless clambakes and political events at the compound over the years.
But during this dinner with Dodd, business dominated the meal: talk about forging a breakthrough on a sweeping health care overhaul in the Senate.
"I had a great dinner with him," Dodd said. "We sat out on the porch there and I filled him in on the health care efforts that are going on."
Kennedy has been balancing the Senate work he does at home with treatment at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital. Kennedy's office has refused all requests for interviews and has not released details of his condition or treatment.
When the weather cooperates, friends say Kennedy spends as much time as he can sailing on his 50-foot schooner "Mya."
Kennedy's office has not said when he will return to the Senate. He has only returned sporadically to Washington this year.
Dodd knows that achieving success on health care reform would be a crowning achievement for his ailing friend. It gives the fight special urgency.
"What Senator Kennedy brings to this is not just his knowledge," Dodd said. "There's also a spirit he brings, too, a dynamic that is hard to quantify. So, he'll be missed when he's not there. But my hope is he'll be back as frequently as he can to play that role."

Series in This Collection
Collection Overview
This collection includes thousands of game books, boxed sets, figurines, cards, magazines and serials. It also includes a small amount of manuscript material from the Murrays' own campaign notes and records. The materials have been divided into series based on format: Boxed Games (BG); Modules, Manuals, and Campaign Volumes (M); Miniatures and Pieces (P); Cards (C); Serials (S); and Manuscripts (MS). Within each series, materials have been sorted into their various game worlds and settings as best as possible. Along with Box and Volume numbers, barcodes for each item are included to ease research requests from Duke's offsite storage facility. Due to the vast number of games and the wide variety of research interests for this collection, a downloadable spreadsheet is available for researchers interested in browsing and sorting the games in different ways, such as by year or by box.
Please note: The collection contains loose parts such as dice, tokens, figurines, cards, etc. Some materials may be sealed in original packaging. Packaged materials in Miniatures series are intended to remain in sealed packaging. Please consult Research Services staff for assistance with removal of other materials from sealed packaging. Please return materials to original packaging whenever possible. Consult Research Services staff for assistance if materials cannot be returned to original packaging.
The Boxed Games (BG) series includes games from a range of worlds, as well as a large number of general games that date from the early 1970s to the mid-2000s. Large sub-series within the Boxed Games series include game settings and worlds like Dungeons & Dragons, Forgotten Realms, James Bond, DragonLance, RuneQuest, Star Trek, and Supremacy; but, there are many more from a large number of different systems. Boxed Games typically include campaign books and characterization sheets, grids or maps for game play, die, and rule books.
The Modules, Manuals, and Campaign Volumes (M) series is the largest series in the collection, with over 2300 distinct volumes from numerous game worlds and settings. The series includes a variety of publications, ranging from traditional modules with a plot and characters included, to manuals with lists of creatures or characters, to reference guides for various game worlds. Many companies published only volumes, with no accompanying boxed game, and so there are a large number of titles that have no correlation to the Boxed Games series. The largest game worlds or settings represented in this series are Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, Cyberpunk, Dungeons & Dragons, Forgotten Realms, Middle-Earth, and Traveller; but, there are many, many more from different game worlds as well as independent, one-time games.
The Miniatures and Pieces (P) series includes packaged and loose miniatures collected by the Murrays from a number of different companies. Most are generic and not attached to a particular game or game brand, although there are hundreds that were intended for playing with games like Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, DC or Marvel Superheroes, or Lord of the Rings. Along with metal miniatures, the series also includes other various types of gameplay aids, including settings guides, grids, and miscellany. A portion of this series consists of unpackaged, handpainted miniatures that have been specially housed for preservation.
The Serials (S) series contains fanzines and magazines collected by the Murrays relating to RPGs and RPG culture. Most magazine runs are incomplete and date from the late 1970s to the mid-2000s; the boxlist includes details about which issues are present in the collection.
The Cards (C) series includes cards from several years of Magic: The Gathering, as well as smaller amounts of cards of other games such as Legend of the Five Rings, New Aeon, Sim City, Spellfire, On the Edge, and Jyhad.
The Manuscripts (MS) series is the smallest series in the collection, containing campaign and collecting notes from the Murrays.

Excerpt from The Globe and Mail:
"Oscar-nominated actor Randy Quaid, fearful of being murdered in Hollywood, is seeking refugee asylum in Canada with his wife.
The 60-year-old actor, featured in such movies as The Last Detail, Brokeback Mountain and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, made his goal clear at an Immigration and Refugee Board hearing on Friday in which he said that he and his wife Evi Quaid want to start a new life in Canada.
During an emotionally charged hearing that came after they were arrested in Vancouver on outstanding warrants in California, Ms. Quaid said they were worried about friends "murdered" in Hollywood such as actors Keith Carradine – who is alive though she may have been referring to his deceased brother, David – and Heath Ledger, who starred in Brokeback Mountain, and Chris Penn. None of the actors deaths were ruled suspicious or homicides.
The couple has been dogged by legal troubles for skipping a court date in California over allegations of vandalizing a Santa Barbara home they formerly owned. They also have been charged for allegedly defrauded an innkeeper in Montecito, Calif."
Read the full story on theglobeandmail.com
After the couple was ordered released on $10,000 bond each, various reporting conditions and the promise to return for a further hearing next Thursday, Ms. Quaid told The Globe and Mail she and her husband sought to "find asylum from murderous rings in Hollywood" that consisted of lawyers.

The Delaware Valley School Board will hold a special meeting tonight to fill the seat being vacated by board President Bill Greenlaw.
The Delaware Valley School Board will hold a special meeting tonight to fill the seat being vacated by board President Bill Greenlaw.
Greenlaw resigned Sept. 12 because he is moving out of the district.
Board member Pam Lutfy will become board president until the reorganization meeting at the end of the year.
At tonight's meeting, the board will publicly interview six people who applied to complete the term ending in 2015. Applicants have handed in resumes to the district as part of the application process.
The district did not provide names of the applicants Wednesday.
Each interview will last 10 minutes. After that, the board will vote on who should fill the vacancy.
The special meeting will be held at the administration building in Westfall Township starting at 7 p.m.
From the date of resignation, the board has 30 days to appoint a new member.
That ends up being about three weeks before the November election when the makeup of the board may change again.
In May, John Fisher resigned after he and his wife were charged with defrauding nearly $700,000 from her elderly parents, one stricken with dementia.
The board appointed Jessica Decker, who works at Sunshine Station Early Learning Center and closely with Sunshine Station founder Lutfy.
Decker will complete Fisher's term, which ends this year.
Fisher is on the ballot for re-election because the primary happened before the criminal charges. He could remove his name from the ballot, but has chosen to remain on the ballot so far. As a longtime incumbent, he is likely to be re-elected. If that happens, and he remains resigned, the board will appoint another person to his seat.
There are four seats open for four-year terms and four candidates on the ballot: Susan Schor, Lutfy, Decker and John Fisher.
Two candidates are running for a two-year seat that Diane French vacated this year. The board appointed Sue Casey to take French's place, but she is not running for re-election.
For the two-year seat, Brian Carso is on the Republican and Democrat tickets.
Jack O'Leary is on the ballot as an independent.
Dawn Bukaj, a registered Republican, is running a write-in campaign for a board seat.

Drugstore Beetles
Adults are 1/10 to 1/7 inch long and tubular. Generally brown in color, adults have rows of hairs running the length of the wing covers. Antennae end in a three-segmented club. Larvae are small, white and scarab- shaped during later instar stages.
Life Cycles:
The Adult female lives 13 to 65 days based on the nutrients. Females can lay up to 100 eggs, larvation 4 to 20 weeks. Pupation 12 to 18 days, depending on the heat and nutrition.
Highly adaptable and variant upon food sources, almost any human habitat can serve as a host to populations. Drug Store Beetles can be found in bird nests, inside books and wooden items as well.
With a pattern of feeding on prescription drugs, consumes flour, baked goods, candies, spices, animal fibers, hair, and leathers. Larvae's can be the most destructive.
Keep cabinets and the surrounding area clean and free from food spillage. Vacuum all dust and debris from cabinets and floor of the kitchen. Do not clean cabinet with water because this may leave a pasty residue attractive to the pest. Apply a labeled insecticide to the cracks & crevices of the pantry. Allow the product to dry before placing food back in pantry. Other common method would be to install a pheromone trap/lure to area. Make sure that the trap in labeled for the insect, and read the label as to many traps can cause influx on different insects to the area.

Cheverus celebrates first Jesuit pope
Pope elected Wednesday afternoon
Pope Francis is the first pope ever to be a Jesuit.
The Catholic order dates back to the mid-16th century.
Portland's only Jesuit school, Cheverus, is reacting to Pope Francis' election.
News 8 was at the school with students and staff as they watched the Argentinian Jesuit step out to greet people in Saint Peter's Square.
"It's amazing. I'm speechless. I'm consoled that we have a new pope as you can tell; I'm emotional that it is the first Jesuit pope. I'm speechless; this will resonate certainly with us at the school," said the Rev. William Campbell.
"A dream come true. I've always wanted a pope from the Americas. And then a pope from Argentina where I'm from, and a Jesuit on top of that and being a Jesuit where I grew up in a Jesuit school, so it's just everything," said Fernanda Darrow.
Darrow said she expects a celebration in the streets of Argentina like a World Cup celebration.
Campbell said it will be interesting to see how this new pope changes or effects the Catholic nation's spirituality.

Kash & Kevin are two extremely sweet and genuine people, it was a pleasure to spend a day with them. We had some extremely hot weather to deal with and they kept their cool, even though im pretty sure Kash almost fainted. The day got broken up by a bit of rain, but as soon as it cleared up we were back at it getting more more beautiful photo's of them.
They had a gorgeous ceremony in the gardens at Assiniboine Park, such a great spot with all of the beautiful flowers. Followed up with a entertaining reception at the Qualico Centre.

What To Look For In A Epoxy Floor Coating Company In Oakville
When was the last time you take a look at your garage and marveled at its condition? When was the last time you check on it and you decided to change the physical appearance? Often times, homeowners choose a concrete floor for their garage, but they become bored of the dull appearance and look of the concrete. So, what are the options you have to cover the dull floor, anyway?
Before getting to the right and professional flooring coating service, keep in mind that these professionals only work based on your instructions – they don't decide what to do with the floor. As the owner of your own property, the decision to choose the right type of flooring coatings is left on you. It is your responsibility to which kind of coating you like or which type of technique suitable for your needs. However, in case you live in Oakville, Ontario, be sure that you only choose the best service for this project. Choosing the right garage floor coating in Oakville Ontario will ensure the long-lasting effect and result.
Painting the Floor
There are some popular floor coating options that you can choose, and painting the floor is one of the most popular alternatives. There are some advantages of floor painting procedures, such as it is cheap and economical – not to mention that it is also quick. You can also have it as a DIY project without having to hire a professional service. But keep in mind that this option may not be long lasting, and it is prone to tear and wear. Moreover, your garage concrete floor should be a perfect condition – no cracks or damage – so the paint can look nice and flawless.
You have 3 different options when it comes to painting the concrete floor:
- Latex acrylic. The good side is that it is cheap and you can get various end results, such as glossy, matte, or satin. The bad news is that latex acrylic and hot tires aren't exactly buddies – the latex acrylic won't have a chance with the hot tires. This option is good when you don't use the garage too often. But when you use it on a daily basis and it is one of your functional working rooms, then latex won't stand a chance.
- One part of the epoxy paint. This is basically the same with latex acrylic, but with epoxy being added to the solution, it is stronger and more durable. It is resistant to peel and stain. Some paints even come with UV protection that will prevent fading when exposed too much to the sunlight.
- 2 part epoxy DIY kit. Mind you that this kit is truly intended for homeowners who want to do the project on their own. It is totally different from the industrial grade epoxy paint. Sure, you can do this on your own, but it won't last long for a garage that is often used on daily basis.
Concrete Overlays
These are some of the other good alternatives to protect your concrete. Some are quite thin while some are quite thick – allowing you to protect your floor for a longer period of time.
- Stamped concrete. Instead of looking at the bare grayish concrete, the stamped design will create interesting patterns that will make your floor more interesting and appealing. It remains tough and solid, but now you can enjoy the new look.
- Acid stained. Applying acids on the concrete will create interesting patterns and looks – you may make your concrete look like the marble-like outcome. The acid will react with the concrete's lime, resulting in the unique coloring process. It should only be done by the professional, not a DIY fan.
- Epoxy coat. Only consult the professional as they can help you with the overall process and management. You can choose the cool blend option or go with the solid color. They are all good to deliver a solid and tough result while increasing the aesthetic appeal.
- Acrylic sealer and micro topping. You can spray the products to protect the floor or to improve the appearance. There are so many different products available out there.
Tile Covers
In case you want to cover your floor with tiles, there are some different types of tiles available:
- Porcelain. If you want to have a similar result as the car showrooms, then porcelain is your best option. However, porcelain tiles may not be a good option when your garage is used as a workplace. When you drop heavy stuff on the tiles, they will likely crack. Not to mention that if your garage is quite damp and often get wet, placing porcelain tiles will cause slippery, which add the dangerous element.
- PVC or plastic interlocking tiles. If you use your garage for heavy duty, then these types of tiles may be more suitable for your needs. They are easy to install, so you can have your own DIY project. They look great. They are also durable and strong – they are resistant to stain, slip, and mold. Not to mention that they come in various designs and types, allowing you to have your own custom work.
Vinyl Floor
In case you decide to go with vinyl coating, there are some different types that you can consider about:
- Interior vinyl coat. The sheet is easy to install as it will drastically improve the look of your garage floor. It is resistant to mold, stain, salt, mud, and moisture. If you use your garage as a laundry room or a home gym, this is the coating to look for.
- VCT (Vinyl Composite Tile). It is stronger and more solid that the home grade interior coating. You may see them in commercial surroundings, such as supermarkets and schools. They are easy to install and they are quite buff.
- Stick tiles and polyvinyl peel. They have adhesive on the back, so you can easily install them on the floor, giving it an increased appearance. They are quite resistant to stains and spills, and they don't need waxing – unlike the VCT.
As you can see, there are a lot of options to go for. Make sure that you choose the right one for your needs and ask for the experts, when it is necessary.

On your phone, you can use a collage app such as piccollage. On the computer, my favorite is Canva.

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT: Hawaii's federal judges say the proposed rail line passes too close to the Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Federal Building, which includes the courthouse and federal building
by Malia Zimmerman Watchdog.org July 12, 2013
HONOLULU — A proposed elevated rail line is a security risk and is neither prudent nor feasible, all 11 of Hawaii's federal judges say in a letter.
Opponents of the rail line call the letter, to The Federal Transit Administration and the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation, a bombshell and unprecedented.
U.S. District Chief Judge Susan Oki Mollway signed the four-page letter on behalf of the judges. The city plans to run the line alongside the Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Federal Building, which includes the courthouse and federal building. (See the full Letter from Hawaii federal judges)
The proximity of the line to the federal building raises security concerns, the judges say.
The judges recommend the city re-route the 20 miles of rail away from the downtown and historic districts of Honolulu, as well as the shoreline and native Hawaiian burial sites.
The letter comes at a sensitive time for the city, federal government and rail proponents. Eight high-profile plaintiffs are challenging the city's Environmental Impact Statement in federal court.
U.S. Chief District Judge Susan Oki Mollway
On Aug. 15, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will consider a lawsuit filed by former Gov. Ben Cayetano, retired federal Judge Walter Heen, businessman Cliff Slater, University of Hawaii Law Professor Randall Roth and four others, including an education foundation and two environmental groups.
The plaintiffs won a partial victory in their initial federal lawsuit, as federal trial judge A. Wallace Tashima in November granted the plaintiffs an injunction and temporarily halted any construction activities on phase 4 of the rail project. But the judge also allowed the city to move forward with design, planning and engineering, and to continue with phases 1 through 3 of the rail construction. The plaintiffs opted to appeal parts of that ruling.
Meanwhile, all rail construction is on hold because of a state lawsuit challenging the impact of the rail line on native Hawaiian burial sites, but construction could resume as early as November, unless the federal plaintiffs are successful.
The judges' letter, the plaintiffs say, supports their lawsuit and claims the city failed to properly consider other transportation alternatives, in violation of federal law.
"The letter eloquently and sharply criticizes the city on how it has approached this rail issue, and it frankly speaks volumes," said Roth.
"From the beginning we have wanted the city to comply with the law, the environmental laws, laws designed to protect historic structures … Other laws, quite frankly, require that they don't just make a political decision and then rush into spending billions of dollars. Instead, the law requires they rigorously and objectively vet all the reasonable alternatives, and I think this letter from all 11 federal judges here in Hawaii underscores that the city just has not done that," Roth said.
Roth said the city's EIS focused on three versions of heavy rail without considering options such as a tunnel, light rail, bus transit or managed lanes.
Former Gov. Ben Cayetano, HonoluluTraffic.com's Cliff Slater, UH Law Professor Randall Roth and Senate Minority Leader Sam Slom outside the U.S. District Court
The judges' letter cites the Nov. 1, 2012, ruling from Tashima, which directed the city to consider in the EIS a Beretania Street route. The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation issued a report last month that claimed the Beretania Street alternative would cost another $1 billion and take an addition two years to complete, making the already $5.2 billion project unfeasible.
The plaintiffs say they are not dissuaded by the authority's analysis.
Slater, who heads HonoluluTraffic.com, said: "The judges are agreeing with us in this. The city just blatantly disregarded lots of alternatives that could have avoided the historic downtown area."
Cayetano said he's been a lawyer since 1971, and he can't recall hearing of an instance in which judges, at any level, took a similar stand.
"The fact that the judges came out collectively speaks volumes about the credibility of this project," Cayetano said. "You have judges coming out — judges who are well-versed in the law, including environmental law — and for them to come out like this in this unprecedented move boosts what we have been saying."
State Senate Minority Leader Sam Slom runs the SBH Enterpreneurial Education Foundation, another plaintiff in the federal lawsuit. Slom called the letter "an elegant judicial smack down for both the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation and the Honolulu City Council."
Former Gov. Ben Cayetano and retired Judge Walter Heen are both plaintiffs in the federal lawsuit against the city's planned $5.2 billion rail project
The judges' letter isn't the first to the city warning of pending security issues with the rail project. Mollway has written on the project at least twice before, including in May 2012. She would not disclose that letter to Watchdog.org because it outlines specific security concerns.
The judges who wrote the letter have all recused themselves from overseeing the federal lawsuit in Honolulu's U.S. District Court. Tashima agreed to fly to Hawaii from California to hear the case.
In the July 8 letter, the judges highlight other flaws in the city's rail plan. They note the current route doesn't serve the community as originally intended. Instead of running from West Oahu on a highly congested route to the University of Hawaii's Manoa campus, it now heads to a popular shopping mall, Ala Moana Center.
Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation, the agency charged with designing, building and operating the rail project, had little to say about the letter or about the comments from the federal plaintiffs.
Brennon Morioka, Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation deputy executive director, said: "All interested persons are encouraged to provide their comments and feedback on the Honolulu Rail Transit Project's Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement/Section 4(f) Evaluation. All comments received through July 22 as part of the process will be given full consideration, including Judge Mollway's."
The plaintiffs said they will look for a way to use the letter to help their case. "We think we are going to win our lawsuit and we think that this letter from 11 federal judges is a boost for us," Roth said.
"We think this has been about big landowners and developers from day one, it has had nothing to do with traffic congestion, even though they have insisted that it did. I think they will be ordered to start over, and if they do they will end up with a project that really does alleviate the traffic congestion," he said.

I have Koi and they keep flicking what do i do to treat this? Thanks. -Alex
You need to do a microscope scrape and find the parasite that is causing them to run up against the sides of your pond. Then treat the parasite according to what it is most susceptible to.

Bust out those crayons, because it's time for National Coloring Day! As a follow-up to the National Coloring Book Day in August, this holiday expands the coloring experience into all sorts of artsy mediums. Honestly, when was the last time you found yourself coloring? Maybe you were babysitting or at home with the kids. Maybe you picked up one of those adult coloring books that are all the rage. Maybe you can't even remember the last time you colored anything, because maybe you think that coloring is just for children. Wrong! With the latest craze of adult coloring books and related studies about how coloring improves overall wellness, it's hard to say that coloring is just for kids anymore. Coloring is good for people of all ages, and the best part is that we can all color together, no matter our various skill levels. Whether it's been decades or merely days, National Coloring Day is all about inspiring us to set aside some time for ourselves and simply color something. You can use paper and crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Give oil pastels a try, or maybe even paint. For National Coloring Day on September 14, we invite you to roll up your sleeves, grab something with pigment, and get coloring!
National Coloring Day Activities
Whether you like crayons, colored pencils and pens, or even permanent markers, there are definitely some art supplies out there with your name all over them. Grab your favorite materials and sit down with some paper or a nice coloring book. If you don't have a coloring book, there are plenty of free pages online you can download and print at home. Or try coming up with your own lines to color inside. Doodle art like zentangles are a great freeform way to create your very own coloring templates, and they make your finished piece completely unique.
Have a coloring party
People love parties, and you can share the joys of coloring with all your friends on National Coloring Day. Pick up a few packs of colored pencils and snag a coloring book with perforated pages so they'll tear cleanly out of the book. Spread out the pages along your table and counters, and let your friends each pick a page they like. Then share the colored pencils and socialize while you color. Coloring parties are inexpensive, especially if you ask each guest to bring some supplies, and they're a great way to bring some community to a generally individual activity.
Donate some art supplies
A lot of schools are experiencing reduced budgets, and many fine arts programs in schools have suffered cuts in funding over the past decade. On National Coloring Day, why not make a difference and bring coloring back to the kids at your local school? If you're not looking to make a school donation, check out the community library near you. Many libraries offer after-school activities to local youth, and thanks to your generous donation, coloring might just become one of their favorite activities.
Why We Love National Coloring Day
Coloring promotes wellness
It might seem like adult coloring suddenly became popular out of nowhere. But studies have shown that coloring is a profoundly beneficial hobby. The activity of coloring is both creative and repetitive, allowing your mind to get absorbed in what you're doing and let some of those high-level cognitive functions take a break. Coloring is also wordless, which lets your linguistic processes take a breather too. These mind relaxation benefits produce a world of good, including reduced stress hormone levels, improved sense of achievement, and even an increase in self-awareness.
Coloring is totally fun
All those health benefits aside, coloring is really enjoyable unto itself. As you relax and start coloring, you can practically feel your creativity flowing faster. All those bombarding thoughts you have all day long start to lighten up, and for a little while at least, you're not focused on what you need to get done later or how you should have done things earlier. Coloring is your gateway into the present moment, a mind-free zone where you can really enjoy what you're doing for the pure sake of enjoying what you're doing. Nobody makes art to have a finished piece of art; we make it because we like the act itself.
It takes you beyond coloring books
Coloring books are amazing, but there's already a whole day dedicated to them! National Coloring Day certainly doesn't exclude coloring books — they are a wonderful and convenient option that get a lot of folks to start coloring. But National Coloring Day is about so much more than the pages of your favorite coloring book. This holiday calls on us to get extra creative with our coloring, to take on new mediums, and to color outside those lines.

Sorry about the itsy bitsy picture, it's the only one I could find.
I love Elisabeth Beresford's Wombles series and was pleased to discover one of her magic books in my own library system! There's plenty of magic in the background of the story, although the focus is the main character's gradual acceptance of his role as rescuer and his journey through the history of the island via various magical means. Every section and character of the story hooks neatly into the appropriate spot and finishing it was as satisfying as completing a good jigsaw puzzle. Fans of E. Nesbit, Diana Wynne Jones, and other tales of magic with a classical feel will enjoy this story.
ISBN: 978-0525666820; Published 1980 by Dutton; Borrowed from the library; Added to my personal wishlist

What I genuinely fail to understand is why he is targeting Sydenham? Why does he not put his efforts into developing Catford dot life where there is no pre-existing forum (so far as I am aware)? Or Brockley perhaps? Or even Royal Tunbridge Wells (what a nice way that would be to introduce himself to his new neighbours)?! If he developed the brand elsewhere first where there is no existing conflict then would that not make him better placed to strike some form of (collaborative) deal with STF in the future? I do find it quite puzzling and it does not seem to me to make good business sense. Unless, of course, it is the conflict that drives him.
I don't solicit a response from anyone on these questions, I am merely presenting my thoughts aloud (so to speak). Apologies to the OP (whose query was indeed misappropriated elsewhere and who should not feel like she should be required to apologise for anything) as I'm minded to think that she would probably rather this discussion about this particular individual should end.

Re: Problem posting
I'm dismayed, though, to see my OP screenshot and posted on Twitter, as well as the other forum, as proof of this forum's dangerous decrepitude. I hope the tweets at least will be deleted now in the light of Stuart's reply here. If my user name had been cropped from the screenshot I'd be less unhappy.

Re: Problem posting
Oh my word, this was tweeted too? In which case that seals the deal as far as I am concerned, to do such a thing is most indicative in my mind of an aggressive and spiteful intent. I sincerely hope that people will open their eyes and see this for what it is. It is highly unprofessional behaviour, but it goes far beyond an immature lack of professionalism, it really is quite alarming and (in my opinion) much darker. How anyone can continue to support the dot life brand Is beyond me.

Refinance Your Car into Someone Else's Name: Is it Possible?
Car payments can be expensive on any budget. If your payments are larger than your budget can bear, have a higher interest rate or you simply want to get out from under your payment, there are numerous options to consider that provide relief. One such option is trying to refinance your car into someone else's name. Here are some things to keep in mind if you want to transfer an auto loan to someone else.
Why Would You Want to Refinance Your Car Into Someone Else's Name?
Refinancing your auto loan provides many benefits. Through a refinance, you can potentially lower your interest rate or lower your overall payment to ease the budgetary burden. This solution helps if you intend to keep the car, but not if you intend to sell it.
If you intend to sell your car, you may be tempted to simply ask the new owner to take over your car payments. This is not an option you want to consider as it opens you up to significant risk. Knowing that, you may want to pursue refinancing your car into the new owner's name.
It's not as far-fetched as it seems; visit your lender's office and ask them to transfer the auto loan. Realize that while requirements vary from lender to lender, there are generally two key ways you can refinance your car into someone else's name.
Modify with Your Current Lender
Modifying directly with your current lender is one of the top options to transfer an auto loan. According to Financial Web, think of this as similar to when you trade-in a car. The entire loan is transferred out of your name, appearing as if you never took out the loan.
This is a benefit to you as there is likely few to no penalties to you but it also means the new person taking on the loan benefits from your good standing on the loan, not to mention the entirety of the loan. The other thing to keep in mind is that the new borrower will need to have a credit standing at least as good as yours, if not better for it to work. In short, the new borrower must be creditworthy, or it's not an option.
Choose a New Lender
If you'd rather not refinance the loan directly with the current lender, the other option to refinance your car into someone else's name is by choosing a new lender. The new lender would pay off the remaining balance and issue a reduced loan to the new borrower.
This is generally more beneficial to the new borrower as they get a smaller loan and likely a lower interest rate, along with a lower overall payment. You may potentially face a prepayment penalty as a result, as well as other potential penalties.

Other Things to Keep in Mind
Refinancing your car into someone else's name doesn't stop with handling the actual loan. You must also transfer the title to the new owner. The requirements to do so vary by state. Do your research ahead of time on what your state requires and ask your lender, too, as lenders often have insight into how to transfer loans into other holder's names. You will also want to make sure the lender changes the lien holder if you go through a new lender.
If you're considering transferring an auto loan you want to keep other options in mind as well. You can research refinance rates online to find lower rates if you want to keep the car in your name. You can also protect against such a problem in the future by making a wise car purchase that fits in your budget.
Bottom Line
It is possible to refinance your car into someone else's name, but there are many things to keep in mind. Do your due diligence and know your options to put yourself in the best situation possible.

New Haven Lawn Club: New Haven, CT: Stacey & Patrick's Wedding
When a bride plans a spectacularly gorgeous wedding (one that includes every beautiful detail you can imagine) it would be easy to think that it would be challenging for her to switch gears from planner to bride. That maybe she wouldn't be able to enjoy the day because she would be thinking too much about making sure everything came together just right. Not so for Stacey. Yes, she had single-handedly planned and styled an incredible wedding, but when the day finally rolled around, her razor sharp focus was on one thing: enjoying each and every single minute of that day. She was beaming, she was giddy. She was every bit the stunning bride that everyone knew she would be.
And from the moment Pat saw her that morning, he couldn't stop smiling when he looked at her. With his movie-star worthy dimples and her impeccable style, you couldn't take your eyes off this couple as they said their vows through happy tears, walked down the aisle with their beloved dog and then danced the night away. When the night came to an end and they walked out in a sea of glittering sparklers, one thing was absolutely certain: Stacey and Pat thoroughly enjoyed their wedding day. Each and every minute of it. And so had everyone else.

Figurative Language
Shakespeare uses many types of figurative language like metaphor, simile, and personification. Recognizing when his characters are speaking figuratively helps to understand what they are saying.
At the beginning of Hamlet's famous soliloquy he is contemplating his own mortality and uses the slings and arrows as a metaphor for the attacks he feels in his life, as well of sea of troubles as a description of the mounting problems he feels he's drowning in.
"To be, or not to be--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them."
-Hamlet 3.1.57
Shakespeare's Language: Prose vs. Verse
Many students—and adults, for that matter—find Shakespeare difficult to read and hard to understand. They accuse him of not speaking English and refuse to believe that ordinary people spoke the way his characters do. However, if you understand more about his language, it is easier to understand. One idea that may help is to remember that his plays are written in two forms: prose and verse.
Prose is the form of speech used by common, and often comic, people in Shakespearean drama. There is no rhythm or meter in the line. It is everyday language. Shakespeare's audiences would recognize the speech as their language. When a character in a play speaks in prose, you know that he is a lower class member of society. These are characters such as criminals, servants, and pages. However, sometimes important characters can speak in prose. For example, the majority of The Merry Wives of Windsor is written in prose because it deals with the middle-class.
An Example of Prose
The following example is from one of the Gravediggers in Hamlet.
"Cudgel thy brains no more about it, for your dull ass will not mend his pace with beating. And when you are asked this question next, say "A grave-maker." The houses that he makes last till doomsday. Go, get thee in. Fetch me a stoup of liquor."
Most of Shakespeare's characters speak in what is called "blank verse." It contains no rhyme, but each line has an internal rhythm with a regular rhythmic pattern. The pattern most favored by Shakespeare is iambic pentameter. Iambic pentameter is defined as a ten-syllable line with the accent on every other syllable, beginning with the second one. The rhythm of this pattern of speech is often compared to a beating heart. Examine this line from another famous Hamlet speech.
"Oh, that this too, too sullied flesh would melt."
Place the words with syllabic count:
1-2 3-4 5-6 7-8 9-10
Replace the words with a 'da' sound to hear the heart beat:
da-DA da-DA da-DA da-DA da-DA
Now put the emphasis on the words themselves:
Oh-THAT this-TOO too-SUL lied-FLESH would-MELT
An Example of Verse
The Ghost (telling Hamlet of his murder):
Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand
Of life, of crown, of queen at once dispatched,
Cut off even in the blossoms of my sin,
Unhouseled, disappointed, unaneled.
No reckoning made, but sent to my account
With all my imperfections on my head.
Oh, horrible, oh, horrible, most horrible!
Breaking the Rules
Like all great writers even Shakespeare broke his own rules in his plays. The greatest example of this in Hamlet is perhaps Shakespeare's most famous line of text.
"To be or not to be, that is the question."
If we add the iambic emphasis on the line something strange happens. We notice there is an extra syllable.
To-BE or-NOT to-BE that-IS the-QUES tion
This is called a feminine ending (when the line of text ends on an unstressed syllable.) In fact the entire beginning of this famous speech is full of them.
"To be, or not to be--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them."
By breaking the conventional meter we have heard throughout the show we seem to subconsciously understand that Hamlet is troubled by these thoughts of suicide.
Monologue vs. Soliloquy
The text of this play is full of speeches. There are two distinctive types of speeches, monologues and soliloquies. The difference between the two is simple.
Monologues are long speeches that are addressed to other characters. In Hamlet Claudius is a great example as most of his speaking is addressing other people.
Soliloquies are a single character speaking only to themselves as a tool to let the audience in on what is happening in their mind. Hamlet is the best example of these kind of speeches in the show.

Karle Denke was born on August 12, 1870 in Ziebice, Poland and died on at age 54 on December 22, 1924 by suicide. He was a serial killer and cannibal who was known as "The Cannibal of Ziebice" and "Vater Denke"
His Life
Karle was born into a wealthy family on August 12, 1870 in Munsterberg, Silesia. Munsterberg, Silesia was known as the Kingdom of Prussia and was renamed Ziebice, Poland which is used now. He was a very hard child to take care. He gave his parents a hard and at the age of 12 years olf, he ran away from home. Karle started a life of his own at age 25 after graduating elementary school and started training under a gardener. Karle bought a piece of land with the money he inherited from his father death. He sold his farm land because he didn"t succeed at farming and bought a small house on a street now called Stawowa Street. Karle was forced to sell his home because he no more money left, but he had refused to moved out, so he lived in a small apartment on the right side of the house on the ground floor. He became an organ player in church and was well loved by his community.
In 1909, Karle began cannibalism for no known reasons and killed 25 year old Emma Sander. He began killing dozens of people, and it is believed that he sold the flesh of his victims as pork and offered it to his guest to get rid of the bodies. His last attacked was on December 21, 1924. He attacked Vincenz Oliver with an axe, but Vincenz escaped and found Gabriel who is a coachmen, Gabriel called police. Police found a lot of different types of bones, different clothing, twelve travelers identification documents, a pair of drum with large pieces of meat in brine and pots full of fat. Police believe that Karle killed about thirty people from looking at the remains at his apartment. Karle committed suicide in his prison cell the day after he was arrested.
Confirmed Victims
1909: Emma Sander, 25 years old
December 21, 1924: Vincenz Olivier - attempted but survived, non-fatally slashed his scalp.

This year, 46 of the cranes released between 2010 and 2014 paired up into 23 pairs, 21 of which went on to make breeding attempts across the South West of the UK. This is the highest annual number of breeding pairs to date - and a result of all the released birds now being at breeding age and able to get on with the important business of reproducing!
Some sad news I'm afraid.
The young crane that was caught and colour ringed White Black Green on 26th July, and nicknamed 'Timitoo' has been found dead.
It was quickly back with its parents, Timmy and Michaela, and was captured on a trail camera at dawn on 28th July and then again on 29th. See below...
Timitoo captured on trail-cam 28th July closely followed by...
Alison with 8 wk old crane - nicknamed 'Javi'.
Wonderful to catch and colour ring one of the new generation of cranes on the Somerset Levels and Moors this morning.

Huge thanks to Liz Antliff-Clark, a volunteer with the RSPB, who put so much time into compiling this for the project.
..And even though I realise this wish might not be to everyone's liking - Here's to a lovely wet Spring 2018 - ensuring lots of nice safe nesting areas for the reintroduced cranes on the wetlands of the South West!

Poke: /poʊˈkeɪ/ (Hawaiian for "to section" or "to slice or cut") is a raw fish salad served as an appetizer in Hawaiian cuisine, and sometimes as a main course. Adaptations may feature raw salmon or various shellfish as a main ingredient served raw with the common "poke" seasonings.
This is the term you have been seeing on signs and reading on food blogs around the country. Traditional poke is comprised of fish mixed with an Asian-influenced sauce (think soy sauce & ginger base), but now restaurants like Poke City in Johns Creek are taking these specialty bowls up a notch. This one-food show is now a bowl of unlimited options. You can combine multiple types of seafood (like tuna, salmon and scallops) then pile on delicious vegetables (like edamame, cucumbers, seaweed salad, avocados…etc.) for a texturally complex dish. These bowls are both filling and beautiful. The combination of colors make for the most likeable of Instagram posts, so try Poke City's version and post yours today!
Also on the Poke City menu are acai bowls. These are a perfect way to feel like you're treating yourself with a bowl of fruit. Granola is layered under a "smoothie" of blended fruit then topped with whichever fruits, nuts and seeds you like.

Capitol Alert
Bill to ease tax payments by medical pot shops moves to governor
Desert cities aim to bloom with medical marijuana cultivation
Cut off from the banking system by federal law, medical marijuana dispensaries would be allowed to pay their taxes in cash rather than by electronic transfer under a bill headed to Gov. Jerry Brown.
The California Senate on Tuesday voted 28-8 to pass Assembly Bill 821, which would remove a 10 percent penalty assessed on monthly tax bills of $10,000 or more if they paid by a means other than electronic transfer.
Currently, the Board of Equalization can waive those penalties on a case-by-case basis. But proponents of AB 821, including author Assemblyman Mike Gipson, D-Los Angeles, argued that the process imposes an unfair burden on a cash-only industry like medical marijuana dispensaries, which cannot place their revenue in most banks because federal authorities still consider marijuana an illegal drug.
"This is just a smarter way to do business," Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills, said during floor debate.
Though some Republicans objected to singling out the medical marijuana industry for special treatment, the bill passed with some bipartisan support. If signed by Brown, it would sunset in 2022.
