SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Clippers forward Matt Barnes is asking for the public's help to track down the man police say killed his aunt in Northern California.
Barnes took to his Twitter and Instagram accounts Tuesday, asking anyone who knows the whereabouts of 51-year-old Michael Williams of Sacramento to call police.
Barnes also posted photos of Williams on his accounts. Williams is married to Barnes' aunt, 48-year-old Tanganyika Williams.
Sacramento police say Michael Williams is suspected of fatally stabbing his wife. Her body was found lying on a street July 8.
Officer Michele Gigante, a police spokeswoman, says an arrest warrant is out for Williams, who apparently was last seen in south Sacramento on Monday.
Gigante says police appreciate that Barnes is using his celebrity status to help find the suspect.

The U.S. media paid scant attention in June when Amnesty International released a report charging that U.S. cruise missiles carrying cluster bombs had struck the village of al Majalah in southern Yemen on Dec. 17, 2009, killing 41 civilians, including 14 women and 21 children.
Pentagon officials declined to discuss the matter at the time. But accusations of direct U.S. participation in that bombing and others in Yemen that reportedly caused civilian casualties quickly became a principal theme of al-Qaida propaganda.
That theme is now likely to get even more traction as a result of the disclosure by WikiLeaks of an unusually revealing State Department cable in which Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his top ministers appear to agree to cover up the extent of the U.S. military role in disputed air strikes in Yemen.
"President Saleh's comments will be translated and used over and over again by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) as a recruiting and propaganda tool," Gregory Johnsen, a leading U.S. expert on the terror organization's Yemeni affiliate, told NBC on Monday. "His statements and those of his top ministers of deceiving and lying to the Yemeni public and parliament … fit seamlessly into a narrative that AQAP has been peddling in Yemen for years. This is something AQAP will take immediate and lasting advantage of."
As Johnsen's comments suggest, the Jan. 4, 2010, cable recounting a meeting between U.S. Gen. David Petraeus, then commander of U.S. Central Command, and Saleh and his top ministers may well be among the most significant of the scores of documents that have been made public by WikiLeaks so far.
Not only are the full contents of the cable likely to weaken Saleh politically, the document seems to confirm what the U.S. government has never officially acknowledged: that it is deeply involved in prosecuting a military campaign against al-Qaida in a region thousands of miles away from the battlefields in Afghanistan.
In the cable, Saleh told Petraeus that "mistakes were made" during the Dec. 17 strike and another one on Dec. 24 (which was initially, and wrongly, reported to have killed radical U.S.-born imam Anwar Al-Awlaki), specifically referring to the "killing of civilians" in Yemen's southern Abyan province. He also complained later in the meeting that U.S. cruise missiles are "not very accurate."
While Petraeus dismissed the notion that innocents were killed (he insisted the only civilians killed were "the wife and two children" of an al-Qaida operative), he later proposed "to move away from the use of cruise missiles and instead have U.S. fixed wing bombers circle outside Yemeni territory, 'out of sight,' and engage AQAP targets when actionable intelligence became available."
"We'll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours," Saleh said, according to the cable. This prompted Deputy Prime Minister Rashad al–Alimi "to joke that he had just 'lied' by telling parliament that the bombs in Ahrab, Abyan and Shebwa (provinces) were American-made but deployed by the ROYG (Republic of Yemen Government.)"

The casual disclosure that the Yemenis had "lied" about the U.S. role in the air strikes might be dismissed as typical of the kind of diplomatic deceptions that are necessary in an especially volatile portion of the Mideast.
But there is more to the back story of the Dec. 17 strike. It provoked a domestic uproar inside Yemen, spurred a parliamentary inquiry and prompted Amnesty International to send its own team to investigate on the ground. The group's investigators concluded that the air strike, while killing 14 suspected militants, had largely killed women and children; the Amnesty team also came back with photographs that it said showed the wreckage of a U.S. made Tomahawk cruise missile and portions of unexposed cluster bombs — munitions that have sparked international attempts to ban their use because of their indiscriminate impact. Amnesty also noted in its report that when Yemeni parliamentary investigators arrived in the village of al-Majalah, they "found that all the homes and their contents were burnt and all that was left were traces of furniture."
"The fact that so many of the victims were actually women and children indicates that the attack was in fact grossly irresponsible, particularly given the likely use of cluster munitions," said Philip Luther, deputy director of Amnesty's International Middle East and North Africa Program.
Just as unnoticed in the U.S. media was the degree to which images from the Dec. 17 strike in al-Majalah and the account of civilian casualties were used by al-Qaida. An al-Qaida video from last spring flashed images of civilians burned and mutilated in the attack and talked about how a U.S. cruise missile "poured its lava over al-Majalah Village" and scorched the bodies of women who were "baking bread for breakfast" in their homes.

On Monday, in the wake of the WikiLeaks disclosure, an Amnesty International spokeswoman said the organization plans to renew its call for a U.S. investigation of the Dec. 17 air strike — a request that went unanswered when it released its report in June.
"It's fair to say that this leak kind of confirms what we were saying in our report," said Sharon Singh, adding that both the Yemeni and the American public deserve to know the full truth about the air strike.
But so far, at least, the Pentagon isn't talking. Asked whether U.S. cruise missiles are being used in air strikes in Yemen, Pentagon spokesman David Lapan said: "We work with the government of Yemen as well as others in the region to counter the threat of terrorism in the region." But, he added, "we don't discuss the nature of our operations."

text: The findings by academics at The University of Manchester, published in the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic and Neonatal Nursing, compared Johnson's Baby Top-to-Toe wash against plain bath water on 307 newborn babies over a four week period. The findings challenge the current advice from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines, that baby wash should be avoided in the first 6 weeks after birth. Newborn skin is different to adult skin. The skin barrier on newborn babies is less mature and likely to be more vulnerable to environmental threats. But the study found no difference in transepidermal water loss (TEWL), which indicates the amount of water that escapes from the skin, between newborns bathed in water alone or with the wash product. Skin hydration increased in the wash product group compared to water alone when a babies' hydration at two weeks was analysed. Project lead Professor Dame Tina Lavender said this offered reassurance that the wash product was not affecting the infant's natural skin barrier integrity. Professor Lavender, Professor of Midwifery at The University of Manchester, said: "Whilst internationally it has been accepted that appropriate cleansing practices are important, a dearth of good quality clinical trials has led to variations in baby skin care regimens. However, women can now be confident that using this specific baby cleansing product on newborn skin is equivalent to bathing in water alone. "This trial adds to the existing but limited evidence in the area and provides healthcare professionals with the strongest level of evidence available to date. Therefore we should no longer base our practice on tradition and experience alone. We should share the evidence from this study with parents, so they are able to make their own informed choices." This research follows another recently published study conducted by The University of Manchester in which the use of Johnson's Baby Extra Sensitive Wipes was found to be equivalent to the use of water and cotton wool in terms of skin hydration. Mums taking part in the study also reported nappy rash as being higher in the water and cotton wool group. The findings from both studies should offer reassurance to parents who choose to use these particular baby cleansing products. "These results should provide healthcare professionals and parents with much needed evidence-based information giving them the option to support the skin care cleansing regime chosen by individual parents for their newborn babies," Professor Lavender added.

For the vast majority of tourists who spend their holiday on the Baltic coast, a visit to the multi-award-winning Hansa-Park in Sierksdorf on the Bay of Lübeck has become a cherished holiday ritual.
Offering a brilliant mix of nature, history and award-winning rides, Germany's only family theme park by the sea is not your average leisure park. It tells a story from the Middle Ages, one of seafaring and trade, of freedom and adventure, a story that has become a legend but is still very much alive: the story of the Hanseatic League in Europe. The park reflects its Hanseatic heritage more and more each year – and that is what makes it so unique. Occupying a site of 460,000 square metres, Hansa-Park offers no end of fun, thrills an adventure. The whole family will have plenty to keep them occupied for several days here, with more than 125 unique attractions "from chill to thrill" (35 of which are rides), spectacular stunt displays, and lovingly designed theme worlds such as the Land of the Vikings, Children's World, Thrill Rides, Water Fun and the unique Hanseatic League in Europe. Young adventurers will be in their element in the new play paradise, where they can discover caves, swing from vine to vine and trek through the trees. And if you want to base your holiday here, you can check into one of the well-appointed holiday homes at the HANSA-PARK-Resort and save yourself the hassle of travelling to and from the park.
The craziest things can be experienced all over Hansa-Park: reaching dizzy heights in the ocean of the skies, experiencing adrenaline-fuelled thrills on the Nessie super rollercoaster, and braving The Curse of Novgorod! The latter, which goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.4 seconds, is Germany's fastest launched rollercoaster, features a catapult start with a 97-degree drop and boasts the world's steepest pitch-black descent. The Flying Shark also go upside down and back and forth at mind-boggling speed. With the launch of the family thrill ride "The Oath of KÄRNAN" in 2015, HANSA-PARK made roller coaster history: emerging from a 79m-high tower after a 67m first drop, this hyper-coaster speeds up to 127 km/h on the 1,235m-long track. But that's not all. The fantastic restaurants in the various sections of the park are so well themed that even mealtimes become part of the adventure!
The reverse free fall from over 60 m in the KÄRNAN tower is unique worldwide. In 2017 the worldwide unique reverse free fall in the dark of Europe's second-highest coaster became an even greater experience. The free fall velocity rate has been more than doubled from about 5m/sec to roughly 11m/sec.
Barcos del Mar is a wonderful combination of ship and motorcycle. Eight Motorcycles including ship's tender, built from flotsam and jetsam, take off in a circle and can be controlled individually.
Moreover, "Emmi, Pingi & Co and the Lost City" are new in the Aquarena. The family show with the beloved mascots, light, laser, and water effects, as well as the child of the sun will be lots of fun for the whole family.
The Varieté-Show "Timeless" offers artistic performances in a new, spectacular show and thus takes visitors in a world, where time seems to stand still.

At the beginning of World War II, the Alameda Works was re-established as the Bethlehem Alameda Shipyard, and modernized and expanded to include new shipways and on-site worker housing. During the war, the yard repaired more than 1,000 vessels and produced P-2 troop transport ships, and it continued to produce structural steel. Shipbuilding came to an end in the early 1950s and the yard was closed in 1956.
The Union Iron Works Powerhouse is located at 2308 Webster St. in Alameda, California. Take the Posey Tube south from Oakland to the island of Alameda, where the Posey Tube becomes Webster St . The Union Iron Works Powerhouse is within 1,000 feet of entering the island. Now a private office space, it is closed to the public.

After nearly nine years, life is returning to ground zero in a tangible way.
Crews Saturday began planting 16 swamp white oaks at the World Trade Center site. They are the first of nearly 400 trees to be planted around the eight-acre memorial to the nearly 2,800 people killed when terrorists attacked the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001.
The trees will dot a cobblestone plaza surrounding two huge pools built on the footprints of the destroyed towers.
Joe Daniels, president of the 9/11 Memorial Foundation, was on hand at the site to help with the planting. He said designers of the memorial envisioned a lush and quiet green space that would bring solace to visitors.
�When people come up to the pools and see the names and be under this canopy, this forest, it will be a very peaceful environment,� Daniels said.
Cultivated for four years at a nursery in Millstone, N.J., the 16 trees were loaded onto eight tractor-trailers at midnight Friday for the 35-mile trip to Manhattan. Several were planted overnight and into Saturday morning on the western side of the memorial plaza.
The memorial plaza will essentially become a rooftop garden, built atop the deep chasm left by the destroyed towers. It will cover the museum commemorating the 2001 attacks, commuter train platforms and a parking garage that are being built as far as 70 feet below ground.
The trees were irrigated and fertilized for four years at the 15-acre nursery in New Jersey. Daniels said the swamp white oaks were selected for their beauty and their ability to withstand Manhattan�s cold, snowy winters and steamy summers.
The trees come from New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. � the places where the attacks hit. They were about 25 feet tall when first planted and are expected to soar to 60 to 80 feet high.
Once they are planted, an arborist will work full time to prevent the construction site�s daily dust and clutter from damaging the oaks.
An elaborate subterranean irrigation system, with individual tubes running to each tree, will water and fertilizer the grove. The trees� condition, soil moisture and temperature can be monitored remotely through sensors embedded into their root balls.
�Our expectations are we will have 100 percent survival of the trees,� said Tom Cox, CEO of Environmental Design, the Houston company that has cared for the trees and ferried them to the trade center site.

Pit bull chews off owner's arm, hand
Dog tears off owner's hands: Incident recalls '09 Stamford chimp attack
WILTON -- In a scene out of a horror movie, a pit bull -- apparently without provocation -- attacked its owner, tearing out one of her arms and ripping off her other hand.
The victim, Anne Murray, 56, was recovering at Norwalk Hospital, her son Matthew Murray said Tuesday.
"She's better -- she's awake now," he said. "I don't really know what happened. I just want to stay with her and get her to a full recovery."
The attack at the Murrays' 77 Range Road home happened about 11:30 a.m. Monday. Police Lt. Donald Wakeman said one passing motorist, and then another, stopped because the dog had wandered into the road.
"The first motorist found the dog to be somewhat aggressive, so she retreated to her car," Wakeman said. "And then one of the two motorists heard someone calling for help, so she called 911."
He said the dog in the street was the one that attacked Murray, who was found underneath a vehicle in her driveway, trying to fend off the animal, said Wakeman, the Wilton Police Department spokesman.
The first arriving officer, Capt. John Lynch, determined that the dog was an immediate threat to the victim and others nearby, so he shot and killed the dog, Wakeman said. The pit bull's remains will be tested for rabies at a state laboratory, officials said.
In additional to the loss of a limb and another hand, Murray had bite wounds all over her body, Wakeman said. She was brought by ambulance to Norwalk Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.
"She lost all of her left arm and a portion of her right arm," he said.
Monday's mauling recalls the 2009 chimpanzee attack on Charla Nash, of Stamford. In that incident she was blinded and horribly mutilated; she later received a face transplant.
But the big difference between that case and Monday's dog attack is that chimpanzees, cute as they may be when they're infants, grow up to be wild animals -- muscular, temperamental and unpredictable ones at that.
Dogs, conversely, have been domesticated for tens of thousands of years, making Monday's attack all the more terrifying.
Still, pit bulls, although they have legions of admirers, have killed and maimed countless times before. The most recent pit bull death occurred last week in Kernersville, N.C., when 25-year-old Katherine Atkins was set upon by her two dogs while she was attempting to feed them. She had owned the dogs since they were puppies, Kernersville police said.
And last month, 5-year-old Jason Ryan, of Baker City, Ore., was set upon by a neighbor's pit bull. He died in the ambulance. In September, two toddlers were mauled to death by pit bulls, one in Colton, Calif., the other in Gilbert, Ariz.
No one was home at Murray's house on Tuesday, but the front yard bore the remains of what must have been a chaotic and gruesome scene.
The driveway was littered with some of the contents of the ambulance that arrived to take Murray to the hospital, including a pillow, a blanket, a blue latex glove, a blister-pack of bandages and an orange biohazard bag.
Also in the driveway was the pit bull's black nylon collar, with tags bearing his name: "Tux" -- for Tuxedo -- a name that was confirmed by police who said the animal was a 2-year-old male.
Range Road is in a neighborhood of tidy suburban homes, but the red house at number 77 has fallen on hard times. The garage door is mostly missing; a picket fence covers the opening. The electricity meter has a shut-off tag affixed to it.
On the front stoop is a large plastic tub, partially filled with water, into which a winter coat was draped. The front yard is covered in brambles and the mailbox hadn't been emptied in days.
Neighbors said they had never met Anne Murray and that the family kept to themselves. Police said she lives with her twin 26-year-old sons.
"Technically, the dog belonged to one of the sons," Wakeman said. "The sons weren't home all the time, so she took care of the dog when they weren't there. Why the dog turned on her, we don't know."
As was the case in the North Carolina tragedy, Tuxedo was part of the family since puppyhood, police said.
Wakeman said the investigation is continuing.
"At this point, we don't know whether criminal charges will be filed," he said.

Our Experience
Centro de Arte Contemporáneo
is the answer to the interest of individuals and companies to come into contact with the world of art, specifically with the Limited Edition Graphic Work.
Our organization, backed by over 30 years of experience, has made a permanent, constant and sustained promotion of the original print of Venezuelan and Latin American artists in Venezuela and the world work. This has meant producing and distributing information material about the techniques, the artists and their work, participate in national and international fairs of art and achieve the presence of our works in private and public collections in virtually every continent.
Thanks to this effort and perseverance, we have developed a very important group of collectors, which gives the floor and support the continuity of our work.
Alongside the drawing and sculpture, Original Graphic Work is regarded worldwide as one of the most important expressions of the arts. In its development are used special papers with high cotton content, museistic inks that guarantee the permanence of the work and a handmade printing system. The Graphic Work can be made directly by the artist or in collaboration with a master printer under his supervision. After producing a limited amount, the artist numbers and signs each copy in order to grant the character of unique work.
One of the essential conditions for the valorization of the Original Graphic Work is that it is backed by an editor or prestigious gallery to ensure the authenticity, quality and accuracy of the number of copies of the edition. The Original Graphic Work is in constant valorization as can be seen in the extremely high prices reached in the famous international auction houses. This makes the Original Graphic Work one of the best choices when investing in a work of art.
Reiterating our commitment to the promotion of Venezuelan and Latin American artists, the
Centro de Arte Contemporáneo
has developed an extensive platform on the Internet with technological conditions so that, globally, any person or organization to enjoy and purchase works of our artists.
Our website aims also to display and eventually sell works inform in an entertaining way about the different techniques, the artists, the history of paper and other interesting topics.
We firmly believe that the Original Graphic Work in limited edition is a very real and effective way to democratize art. This means that both in Venezuela and in the world anyone can enjoy a good work of art at an affordable price.
We acknowledge the support of artists to our work in all these 30 years and we are confident that working together the Original Graphic and Fine Art Photography of Venezuela and Latin American will take outreach to new levels in the world.

I'm home alone a lot this week because Alex has been working nights, until late.
Blue cheese. There's been a lot of talk about whether blue cheese is gluten free or not. I've been reading more and more articles about how blue cheese is gluten free, but if you're not sure go with one of the brands who state that their cheese is gluten free, like Boar's Head or Rosenborg.

Dave Clausen of NYCResistor built this very sweet cylinder display using 95 RGB LEDs & ATmega168 microcontroller –
The LEDs are individually addressable, and when you power it on, the software cycles through a series of animations, e.g. various moving rainbowy patterns, "rain", "fireworks", and so on. It doesn't serve much of a purpose but it is kind of cool to look at. The hardware and software are open source, so feel free to use/copy/extend whatever you find here (subject to the CC/GPL license terms).
Well done! Head over to Dave's site for thorough documentation and source – LED Cylinder

It would have been really useful if the OpenCL standard included a CPU side converter from float to half. In order to circumvent this I've created a kernel to specifically convert from floats to half, however, this is now a bottleneck in my application. I imagine because it has to touch the device for such a small amount of work.
Does anyone have some CPU code that will convert from a float to a cl_half without having to touch the device? The inverse (half to float) would be useful for completeness.

The average company loses more than 20% of its productive power to "organizational drag."
That includes all the time teams spend searching for the name of their customer's favorite doughnut shop before an upcoming visit, or coordinating internally on the status of campaigns, projects and other factors that can affect a deal.
This handbook will show you and your sales team how you can use Slack to keep the sales pipeline flowing. Work in channels, integrate apps and services you already use, and deploy various Slack features to surface information in a jiff so people can spend less time digging through inboxes and arranging meetings, and more time on what matters: providing top-notch service to customers and closing deals.
Sales teams using Slack experience a 25% increase in potential deals won per year per sales team member.
1. Get access to information and experts companywide
More than just a place to organize conversations, public channels automatically create a hub of knowledge that's searchable by everyone in your organization. If you commit to doing most of your work in public channels, when someone needs more context to move a deal forward—like the deal history, insights about the customer or the status of a customer request—all that information is readily accessible.
It's best to reserve private channels for conversations that are sensitive or confidential, like budget and deal approvals, and direct messages for quick back-and-forths.
Channel tips:
- Organize channels by team (for example, #sales-team), projects and accounts (#sales-teathyme), region (#sales-emea) and function (#salesforce-notifications or #sales-announcements) to keep conversations focused. Start with a few and add more as you go
- Name channels in a predictable way so they're easier to find, like an index. Prefixes help!
- Keep tabs on conversations by starring important channels so that they're pinned to the top of your sidebar
And say hello to highlight words: As the name promises, this notification preference will alert you whenever a word that matters to you is mentioned in a private channel you belong to or in a public channel anywhere in Slack.
2. Turn insights into action lickety-split
Pulling real-time sales data into Slack
Timing can be everything when landing a deal. With Slack apps and integrations, you can bring valuable real-time data from a variety of sales systems and platforms into channels where your team discussions are already happening, so everyone has quick access to critical information needed to make decisions, resolve issues, and respond to new leads and opportunities.
Piping sales data into public channels also means managers and people from other teams can stay updated on deal progress without pulling anyone's focus away from their goal. And less juggling between multiple apps and logins means fewer lags in your workday.
Integrating sales tools with Slack
Connect these apps and services to your Slack workspace to manage your sales pipeline in one place.
View and share information about accounts, leads, opportunities or contacts when you paste a Salesforce URL in a channel. Use the /salesforce slash command to search Salesforce information right from Slack.
Update both standard and custom Salesforce records from Slack, even while in the field or in transit.
Forgo weekly reporting meetings by getting deal updates and summaries—like top deals and changes in opportunity size—sent automatically to a channel.
Keep tabs on the best time to reach out, and use DataFox to get real-time news alerts about prospective customers in Slack.
Find out when prospective customers take an interest by receiving notifications in Slack whenever they explore your website and content.
Never miss a chance to connect with prospects when you have their attention. When a visitor to your site starts a conversation, the Intercom app spins up a special Slack channel where you can communicate with that person directly.
Put customer input at the heart of your operations by pulling customer satisfaction feedback and survey responses, like NPS scores, directly into Slack channels.
Discover more in the Sales category of the Slack App Directory.
Tip: Set up weekly reminders (/remind) for yourself, a user group (@sales-smb, for example) or an entire channel to remind team members to keep their records up to date.
3. Keep customers informed and interested
Working across teams in Slack
Sales teams need to know how to rustle up answers to customers' questions quickly, often between meetings or a hectic travel schedule. Here are a few ideas for how you can set up your Slack workspace to stay closely aligned with other teams whose work supports or affects a deal's success.
Updated pitch decks and sales collateral at your fingertips
In a channel like #sales-demos, marketing and sales can work together to ensure that everyone's singing from the same spec sheet. Avoid version control pandemonium by pinning the most updated documents to the channel, and add the Guru app to turn your conversations into an internal wiki so you can keep important information handy.
Tip: Need to update a proposal with the team on the fly? Launch a Slack call and use screen sharing, or add your favorite video conferencing app to Slack, to work on tweaks and improvements together.
Share and prioritize customer feedback
Create a channel so that salespeople in the field can easily report customer feedback and requests to product teams while it's fresh on their minds. When others react to the message with an emoji, it can act as a diagnostic tool, signaling how much need there is for that request.
Celebrate wins
Remind everyone that every deal is a team effort by using announcements channels to celebrate new deals as well as the people, across distributed teams and offices, who worked on them. These messages can still include useful information, like the size of the deal and the payment terms, that becomes instantly searchable.
4. Make external partners part of the team
Working in shared channels
Congrats! You've closed a deal. Build on the conversations in your account-focused Slack channel by adding account managers, customer success managers and other team members who will be supporting the account, so they can continue to discuss customer needs and opportunities for renewals, upgrades and other negotiations.
With shared channels, you can create another channel that bridges your Slack workspace with your customer's workspace, so you can field their questions quickly and build better partnerships.
Learn how to create shared channels.

"I can have an individual finance conversation and create a channel where everything is tracked historically. I can search and find all the relevant files and everything I need. It just moves things through the process so much quicker now."
What's next?
There's lots to digest in this handbook, so here are a few things your team can do for starters to streamline your workflows, speed up your processes and make information more accessible across teams.
- Do a little channel cleanup: Maintaining good channel hygiene is essential for keeping communication between teams and departments crystal clear. Make sure to periodically audit your channel list, archiving ones that are no longer relevant or useful. Check out these tips for reducing noise in Slack.
- Rethink your channel names: Is there a consistent naming convention across all your channels? Are they labeled in a way that makes their purpose obvious? Take some time to rename channels so that they're easy to find and follow. Learn more about channel naming best practices.
- Give some apps a whirl: Connect a few key services that you use often (like your CRM) to your team's workspace and try sharing and updating data directly in Slack. Explore sales apps for Slack.

or, Why I Love Vocelli Pizza
Our friendly electrician turned us on to Vocelli pizza, and we've been ordering from them exclusively ever since - their pizza is really good, AND they have anchovies (which makes Mr. B happy).
Tonight, I placed an order at 6:30, and was told it would be here in 30 minutes. I've had a very bad headache today, so I was dozing and didn't notice the time. At 7:30, the phone rang and I realized I was starving - it was the pizza people, calling to apologize for being so late, letting me know the the delivery guy was 3 minutes away, and that they were sending free cannolis for dessert.
But wait, it gets better. The delivery guy showed up, apologized profusely, gave me my pizza and free cannolis - AND a coupon for a free pizza. He explained that a flyer just went out today and they were swamped, and that they were very sorry and hoped we'd still order from them again.
How awesome is that? I didn't even call to complain, and they took care of me. I'll never order from anyone else ever again. Vocelli rocks.
The Best Pizza Place Ever

Amazing how a free pizza on your next order plus free dessert you didn't want in the first place makes up for being 30 minutes late with the Order That Time Forgot.
Or am I being too cynical?
Mrs. B
Yes, you are. I didn't even notice it was late, I didn't call to complain, they took the initiative. And honestly, an hour is not ridiculously long...Domino's would've probably just said "I'm sure it's on its way" (i.e., "Too bad for you") if I called to say a pizza was 30 minutes late...

If you've ever been lucky enough to see a wild animal in its natural habitat, you know it's a beautiful sight. From Cougars, Bighorn Sheep, and Jaguars, to Green Sea Turtles, Gray Wolves and Steller Sea Lions, these animals and so many others all call the U.S. home. Unfortunately, these creatures, along with a variety of plants and other wildlife find themselves on the Endangered Species list and one step closer to extinction.
In order to build awareness on this issue, the U.S. Senate established the third Friday in May as Endangered Species Day, with the hope that everyone will take part in caring for the rich and diverse native species of our country. Every year, thousands of people throughout the country celebrate Endangered Species Day at parks, wildlife refuges, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, libraries, schools and community centers. Events such as festivals, field trips, park tours, community clean-ups, film showings, classroom presentations, and many other fun and educational activities.
Although we may not welcome wild animals into our homes, all animal lovers can understand the importance of keeping these endangered species around for as long as possible. At BlueMountain.com, we love all animals, and our new pets collection was designed with them in mind. Whether dealing with the loss of a pet, or celebrating your birthday along side your furry friends – this collection is celebration of animals!

NEWS- Wahoo-wonk: Clinton talks policy with UVA class
It's been over 30 years since she last taught a class for a living, but on the eve of Virginia's presidential primaries, former University of Arkansas School of Law professor Hillary Clinton (D-NY) taught UVA prof Larry Sabato's Introduction to American Politics.
"Politics is not a game," she told an audience that included some 500 students and a traveling press corps of reporters from such far-flung locales as Japan and Italy.
"It's not what you see on TV. It's not who's up and who's down, who's in, who's out. That's entertainment. There is a deep desire in our country to get back to believing in our politics."
Such was the former First Lady's message for her 70-minute question-and-answer session, which took place in UVA's Old Cabell Hall, where students asked Clinton mostly policy-based questions on everything from how she plans to pay for her universal heath care plan ("I'm thinking about ending the war in Iraq, which will save us a lot of money"), to the viability of ethanol as an energy solution ("It isn't the most efficient option, but it's what we have to start"), to her stance on the United Nations ("We've got to get the U.N. to function more efficiently; the way it's structured is really an anachronism").
Occasionally, she drew contrasts between herself and her rival for the Democratic nomination, Senator Barack Obama (IL).
On the issue of health care she said, "Economists and other independent evaluators have said my plan will reach universal coverage, and it's quite cost efficient. It's one of the big differences in this race between myself and Senator Obama. He doesn't have a plan for universal heath care."
She also took a swipe at the perception of his strong crossover appeal. "We're not going to carry Alaska, or North Dakota, or Idaho," she said referring to three red states in which Obama has defeated her in recent Democratic primaries.
Finally, she wondered how Obama will hold up when his past is subjected to the "full force and effect" of the Republican machine. "There's very little, if any, new information about me," she said. "It has been processed. It's been in the mental bank of America, and I think that's a huge advantage for me."
She also fought back against the notion she feels entitled to ascend to the presidency or has been planning to run for the White House all her life. "I never thought I would run for office," Clinton said.
However, she saved her sharpest barb for the presumptive Republican nominee, Arizona Senator John McCain.
"He didn't even vote on the stimulus package," Clinton said of her colleague. "He has said he doesn't really understand the economy."
But the moment that most seemed to capture students' attention came in response to a question about who was the most influential figure on her political career. She told a story about representing the U.S. at Nelson Mandela's inauguration as president of South Africa.
"He said, 'There are three people here whom I personally invited, who I would like to introduce to you.' He proceeded to introduce three of his former jailers," she said, adding that he told the audience, "You have to give up whatever hate you have, you have to learn how to forgive."
The message may not have resonated very strongly with Luke Mancini, president of a conservative UVA group called the Burke Society. "My favorite expression," Mancini said, "is know thine enemy and always be aware of the other side."
However, first-year student Reed Arnold was "impressed with her articulateness." And Ryan Conner, a cofounder of Hoos for Hillary, said, "I saw some kids walking out who looked like traditional Republicans, and they said, 'You know what? That wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.'"
Sabato told his students that this class had hosted Presidents Ford, Carter, and Reagan, and that it's possible Clinton could be the next, calling her "a very substantive senator and presidential candidate." He urged his students to give Clinton "the standing ovation she deserves."
Whether the rest of Virginia's voters would stand and cheer for Clinton at the polls seemed less likely at press time. But regardless of how the votes fell, the fight continues into the coming weeks with primaries in Maryland and the District of Columbia, both of which carry big implications for momentum. Contests in Wisconsin and Hawaii for their combined 111 delegates happen this Tuesday, February 19, and another 370 will be up for grabs on Tuesday, March 4 in Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, and Vermont.
A candidate must win at least 2,025 delegates to secure the nomination.

Blu-ray enthusiasts have plenty to be excited about this week with MGM's reissues of Woody Allen's "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan" and a trio of films from Alfred Hitchcock ("Rebecca," "Notorious" and "Spellbound"). None of these titles arrived in time for review, however, so maybe I'll do another short column later in the week after I get a chance to check them out. Thankfully, there are several other titles worth discussing, including Shawn Levy's best movie to date and a comedy about cancer. No, seriously.
I didn't have very high expectations for Shawn Levy's robot boxing drama when the project was first announced, but after being invited to visit the Detroit set back in August 2010, it became a lot clearer that "Real Steel" was going to be more than just "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots: The Movie." That's not to say that the robot-on-robot action isn't great, because it's more fun than your average Transformers melee, but it's nice to see a movie that doesn't lose sight of its human characters amidst all the shiny, CGI-fueled action. The father-son relationship between Hugh Jackman's down-on-his-luck fight promoter and Dakota Goyo's spritely kid doesn't just drive the story – it gives the movie its heart, with the actors striking up an excellent onscreen chemistry reminiscent of films like "Paper Moon" and "The Champ." Granted, it's just as predictable as every other underdog sports drama ever made, but it doesn't make "Real Steel" any less the entertaining crowd-pleaser that it aims to be.
Blu-ray Highlight: Although the Second Screen feature offers a lot of great behind-the-scenes info, the last thing I want to do while watching a movie is have an iPad or laptop sitting around to distract me. Instead, I was more impressed by the "Making of Metal Valley" featurette, which offers an in-depth look at the various departments involved in filming the junkyard sequence, including production design, visual effects and stunts.
Jonathan Levine's "50/50" is everything that Judd Apatow's "Funny People" aspired and ultimately failed to be – a well-balanced dramedy about the Big C that has you laughing one minute and holding back your tears the next. Though I don't think that the film is quite as amazing as some would lead you to believe (then again, I also thought that "Bridesmaids" was vastly overrated), it's a really good movie anchored by some excellent performances. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has hardly put a wrong step forward over the last five years (save for perhaps "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra"), and he's at the top of his game here with an incredibly realistic portrayal of a young man stricken with cancer. Seth Rogen is a lot more tolerable than usual as Gordon-Levitt's best friend and Anna Kendrick lights up the screen as his grief counselor/love interest, but the real plaudits go to screenwriter Will Reiser, who managed to turn his own bout with cancer into a movie that actually feels sincere.
Blu-ray Highlight: I never received a review copy and therefore couldn't sample any of the bonus material, but fellow BE critic David Medsker singled out the disc's audio commentary by Seth Rogen and Will Reiser in his review, claiming that "when you give Rogen and his best friend microphones and press 'record,' funny stuff will follow."
Sex, torture and violence in Eastern Europe is usually a recipe reserved for the horror genre, but that isn't the case with "The Whistleblower," a political thriller that will make you sick to your stomach – not from any graphic visuals, but because it shows humanity at its most vile. Though Larysa Kondracki's directorial debut is a relatively by-the-numbers message movie, the subject matter – based on the true story of Kathy Bolkovac, a former cop who uncovered a sex trafficking ring in post-war Bosnia involving UN peacekeepers and local police – will make your blood boil. What separates the film from the various made-for-TV and direct-to-DVD movies that cover similar ground is its talented cast, particularly Rachel Weisz as the resolute Bolkovac. Vanessa Redgrave and David Strathairn also pop up in small supporting roles, but it's Weisz who makes this otherwise vanilla thriller worth watching with another of the kind of solid yet unflashy performances that she's built a career around.
Blu-ray Highlight: There's only one special feature on the disc – "Kathy Bolkovac: The Real Whistleblower" – and it's not exactly what you'd call a highlight. While several of the film's cast and crew (as well as the real-life Bolkovac) sit down to discuss the movie, they're unable to go into a whole lot of detail in the paltry five minutes provided.

The main difference between the ABSplus and its competitors is that it offers a full system restore from the drive, giving you complete disaster recovery if needed. This is aimed at corporate users, but it's still immensely useful for home users in the event of a total PC crash.
For those looking for a simple back-up drive, one downside of the BounceBack is that the software has to be installed onto all PCs. This makes the experience a little more long-winded than it needs to be, but once the system is set up, backing up is fast: the ABSplus 160GB is blessed with speedy transfer rates, with a large folder writing at 16MBps.
Restoring data is easy and quick, and files can be accessed from the drive at any time and restored to their original locations or a predefined folder. The ABSplus is a back-up drive with plenty of useful features, then, but given the complexity of operation, those looking for simple functionality might want to look elsewhere.

text: Although I moved into my apartment last December, decorating and designing the space has been a long-term work in progress. I just recently ordered some floral wall decals online from Urban Outfitters and put them up in my studio apartment. I think they add nice splashes of color and visual interest on the walls. The bold, solid colors and nature motif make me happy and go well with my subtle Asian design elements and existing floral photography. The decals are super easy to put on walls, and can be peeled right off and reused.

Hello, So i am taking a Java class ( I regret it), and I have had alot of labs due, but since i have no clue what is going on in the class, it is really difficult for me to do the labs. I have done most with half-effort, but on this one i am just completly bewildered. I just need to know how to sart this lab off and stuff so that i can go ahead and do it. Once someone explains to me how to do part of it, i should understand the rest. If someone is kind enough to help me with this i would Be so so very hapy!
Actual Lab
This lab assignment continues the Rational class that was started with the Lab08MATH02 assignment. Now comes the times to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions with your nifty Rational class. This assignment will also be the first unit lab assignment. A unit assignment implies a more challenging assignment that carries greater weight for your average computation. A unit assignment involves bringing together a greater number of computer skills in one assignment. For instance, the last keyword assignment provided complete main methods, which handled all the GUI input and output. For this assignment you will need to write the Rational class and also handle most of the code in the main method.
// Lab08MATH03st.java
// The Rational Class Program II
// This is the student, starting version of the Lab08MATH03 assignment.
// There are 5 return methods in the Ration class that have temporary return statements
// which allow the program to compile. Students will need to change these statements.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Lab08MATH03st

80 Point Version Specifics
This lab assignment starts by doing everything that was required for the Lab08A assignment. You need to write methods Rational, getNum, getDen, getDecimal, getRational, and getOriginal. You will also need to write methods multiply and divide. Your fractions do not need to be reduced.
80 Point Version Output 1
The execution output will not show the input dialog windows. They are identical to the windows that were used for the Lab08MATH02 assignment. Four separate input dialog windows are used, as is shown by the provided main method.
Enter these 4 numbers: 2, 5, 5, 7
Note that in the GUI output window above, 4 lines of output are shown. In the 80 and 90 point versions, only the first 2 lines are significant. The sum and difference will appear to be the same as the quotient.
80 Point Version Output 2
Enter these 4 numbers: 6, 10, 20, 35
90 Point Version Specifics
The 90 point version adds the reduce method. As with Lab08MATH02, you are provided with the getGCF method. Not only do you need to write the reduce method, but you also need to call it in the appropriate places so that the product and quotient will be displayed in lowest terms.
90 Point Version Output 1
Enter these 4 numbers: 2, 5, 5, 7
NOTE: As with the 80 point version, only the first 2 lines of output are significant.
90 Point Version Output 2
Enter these 4 numbers: 6, 10, 20, 35
100 Point Version Specifics
The 100-point version completes the Rational class with methods add and subtract. The sum and difference also need to be displayed in lowest terms.
100 Point Version Output 1
Enter these 4 numbers: 2, 5, 5, 7
NOTE: Now all 4 lines of output are significant.
ALSO: In the subtraction answer, the negative sign might show up in the numerator.
It also might show up in the denominator. Either way is fine.
100 Point Version Output 2
Enter these 4 numbers: 6, 10, 20, 35
Any help is appreciated!

Pymble Ladies' College
My work explores the facades in society, and how we can often hide our true passions and interests and pretend or 'perform' in fear of being judged by others. My metaphorical representation depicts four featured 'performers' and a suitcase full of suits in the foreground. This symbolises an outburst of expressive individuality that can often become lost in our society, hidden under the monotony of business suits. The bigger-than-life-size, slightly distorted figures instigate a connection with the audience, an opportunity to question the authenticity of their own individuality in the light of contemporary society's expectations and pressures.
Influencing artists: Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Wendy Sharpe, John Brack
'My art has nothing spontaneous about it, it is all reflection'
Discuss this quote by Edgar Degas with reference to Dancer looking at the sole of her right foot. How does this statement also support Graham's approach to her body of work?
Observe a particular subject over a period of time, sketching the most obvious and intimate details. Choose a sketch to develop further in sculpture, painting or printmaking.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition arrived at Kaw Point, the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri rivers, on June 26, 1804. The expedition camped at Kaw Point for three days to rest, repair their boats, explore the surrounding countryside, and for the first time during their journey, engage martial law.
Today, Kaw Point is located in the center of metropolitan Kansas City with a great view of downtown, but the Point itself remains in a natural state with beautiful wooded trails, wildflowers, and wildlife. Located along the river, the park has access to highways, the Lewis and Clark Heritage Trail, and two great rivers. This accessible park has an infrastructure to support a large number of visitors, and has an outdoor amphitheater equipped with electricity for performing arts and special events.
Visit the park to see the beautiful scenery and learn more about the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Since then, they've been allies. But unlike many Trump defenders, Coulter makes clear that her primary allegiance is not to Trump the man. It's to the nostalgic "Make America White Again" brand of conservatism that she began peddling even before he did. In In Trump We Trust, Coulter calls Trump a "tasteless, publicity-seeking, coarse billionaire" and argues that, "the one thing voters weren't wild about was his personality."
Trump may win votes by moderating his stance on immigration. But that's not how Coulter sells books.
Coulter's problem is that on the very week she's unveiled her immigration-themed defense of Trumpism, Trump himself has begun jettisoning it. On Wednesday night, he admitted that it's "very, very hard" to deport all the undocumented immigrants in the country and implied that he would be open to some people being allowed to stay legally without becoming citizens, provided they pay back taxes. Suddenly, Trump is flirting with an immigration policy that resembles that of every other Republican who ran for president. Which makes Coulter look like a dupe. On Thursday on his show, Rush Limbaugh had a hearty laugh at her expense.
So far, Coulter has responded in contradictory ways. She's fired off tweets attacking Trump's immigration shift. But she's also downplayed it.
Maybe Coulter, like the other high-profile supporters Trump has burned, will accept her humiliation and resort to defending Trump no matter what he says. Her incentives, however, are different. Unlike most of the folks who appear on television supporting Trump, she has an independent brand. And it's built on white nationalism. Trump may win votes by moderating his stance on immigration. But that's not how Coulter sells books.
Coulter also needs an explanation for Trump's likely defeat, an explanation that will preserve her ability to claim that America's silent majority believes the things she does. By emphasizing Trump's immigration flip-flop, Coulter could argue that this issue cost him the white votes he needed to win.
Trumpism—a brand of conservatism defined above all by white racial nostalgia—will survive November's election. Less clear is whether Trump will remain its champion or become its fall guy. Like many people Trump has done business with, Coulter has learned that trusting Trump is not the wisest of investments.

Turn Your iPad Into a Recording Studio
By Jessica Brandon
It wasn't too long ago that musicians said making music on your laptop will not be as great as your desktop computer. How things have changed these days, recording music on your laptop is a common thing to do.
Now that iPad has taken the world by storm, can you turn your iPad to a recording studio? I have researched what would it take to turn your iPad into a portable recording studio? How should you set it up?
Here are the best DAW (Studio Recording) Apps for iPad & Recording Set-ups:
DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) Apps. No, Pro Tools have not made any apps for the iPad yet. However, there are some promising apps:
1. Auria (WaveMachine Labs) - This is the first app that supports the industry standard of 24 bit//96kHz.
2. StudioTrack (Sonoma Wire Works) - Multitrack Recording for iPad. Record up to eight tracks on a multitouch mixer with meters, faders and knobs. Control multiple parameters simultaneously, like an analog console. Rearrangable channels help you keep your tracks organized.
3. MultiTrack DAW (Harmonicdog) - It provides up to 24 stereo tracks of better than CD quality audio, and the ability to playback all of those tracks, while recording 2 tracks simultaneously on iPod or iPhone, and up to 8 tracks simultaneously on iPad.
4. GarageBand (Apple) - This is now made for the iPad. GarageBand lets you play a collection of highly expressive Touch and Smart Instruments that sound just like their real counterparts — but let you do things you never could on a real instrument. You can record, mix, and share your songs, too.
5. Portastudio (Tascam) - This brings 30 years of easy-to-use home recording to your iPad. Based on the PORTA ONE recorder that revolutionized recording in 1984, the Portastudio app records up to four tracks with a cool retro/vintage vibe. Record one track at a time using the built-in mic or a headset microphone connection, monitoring on authentic VU meters. A cassette transport with position counter tracks your position while you mix with level, pan and EQ controls. When you're ready to mix, the built-in mixdown function saves your song as a CD-quality WAV file. Your mix appears in iTunes when you're finished, ready to share with friends and bandmates.
Audio Interface. Just like a laptop or desktop, you would need an interface:
1. Focusrite iTrack Solo - provides the great solution for recording your instruments and vocals using an iPad and is a certified 'Made for iPad' device.
2. IK Multimedia iRig Pre - this is an universal microphone interface for iPhone/iPod touch/iPad! iRig PRE Microphone Interface iPhone/iPod touch/iPad is the ultimate solution for connecting any type of microphone from regular stage microphones to expensive studio models to any iPhone, iPod touch or iPad providing access to the widest range of recording applications.
3. TASCAM iXZ - a portable interface for recording with your Apple iOS device. It provides the inputs you need to record nearly any acoustic or electric instrument to any of the thousands of recording apps on the app store, including Apple's own Garage Band or TASCAM's Portastudio.
4. Alesis iO Mix - you can mix and record up to four channels of audio into your iPad. The Alesis iO Mix is the first device that turns your iPad into a powerful portable studio, allowing you to record multiple mics or instruments directly into GarageBand or any other compatible Core Audio app.
5. Alesis iO Dock - the first device that enables anyone with an iPad to create, produce, and perform music with virtually any pro audio gear or instruments. The iO Dock is a universal docking station specifically designed for the iPad, and it gives musicians, recording engineers, and music producers the connectivity they need to create and perform with iPad. Connect all your pro audio gear to virtually any app in the App Store with the iO Dock.
Midi Interface:
iRig MIDI (IK Multimedia) - a pocket-sized MIDI interface lets you hook up your favorite keyboard, pad controller, DJ interface, etc. to your iOS device. The iRigMIDI lets you run any of the amazing CoreMIDI-compliant iOS apps.
iConnectMIDI (iConnectivity) - Own a MIDI-equipped keyboard controller, guitar, drum kit, or any piece of gear? You can now tap into the unlimited power of the App world!
Music Keyboard:
1. iRig Keys (IK Multimedia) - portable keyboard control, the IK Multimedia iRig Keys 37-key USB/MIDI controller is ready to perform. It's got all the goods to play your apps and virtual instruments expressively, like velocity-sensitive keys, pitch bend and mod wheels, and an input for an optional expression pedal or sustain pedal. (see picture above)
2. SynthStation49 (Akai) - 49-key Controller Keyboard with Built-in iPad Dock for use with Akai Synth Station App (sold separately)
For Guitar:
1. AmpliTube iRig (IK Multimedia) - Mobile Guitar Amp and Effects Rig System
2. GuitarJack Model 2 (Sonoma Wire Works)- The GuitarJack Model 2 iOS interface connects a wide range of instruments, microphones, and other audio hardware to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
3. iRig STOMP (IK Multimedia) - first stompbox guitar interface for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
DJ/Mixer Controllers:
1. Professional MPC Fly (Akai) - Complete Groove Production Hardware Control Surface and Software System for iPad 2 with 16 Velocity-sensitive Pads - CoreMIDI Compliant
2. iRig Mix (IK Multimedia) - Portable DJ Mixer for iPhone, iPod, and iPad

The turbines will be installed in two wind farms respectively located in Ohio and Rhode Island.
The Gilbane Building Company has ordered three for the Narragansett Bay Commission wind project in Providence, Rhode Island. In Ohio, VH Cooper is purchasing two turbines for the Cooper Farms' Wind VW Project.
In 2010, China exported 13 wind turbines, totaling 15.55MW. Exporting wind turbines has become a strategic target for leading Chinese wind turbine makers as they compete to take up a larger share of the world market.
Tim Rosenzweig, chief executive of Goldwind USA Inc., the American arm of Goldwind, said "Goldwind has achieved marvelous results in tapping the world market since our American arm was established a year ago. Our company has employed local staff workers and cooperated with local suppliers. It proves effective to promote our internationalized expansion through a localization strategy."
In early 2010, Goldwind integrated into the grid three 1.5MW wind turbines in UILK Wind Farm, Pipestone Town of Minnesota. It was Goldwind' s first wind farm project in the United States, and also its first MW-level wind farm project in overseas areas.
In December 2010, Goldwind was handed a 20-year PPA from Commonwealth Edison for its 109MW Shady Oaks project.
Shady Oaks is the first large U.S. wind farm to use Chinese-made turbines -- Goldwind's 1.5MW direct-drive permanent-magnet turbines.
Tim Rosenzweig expects construction of the Shady Oaks project to start in late spring or early summer, and be completed by the end of 2011.

(FYI: Nothing in this missive is to be taken as medical advice. If you are in need, go to the Great Physician.)
It was in the middle of the summer, and the temperature had soared to over a hundred degrees every day for the past three weeks. Our puny little air conditioner could never seem to keep up with the heat. I was getting sick of it. Literally.
So when my husband told me that it was going to be another blistering day, I decided to take my paperwork and go downstairs to sit by the air conditioner.
But the Holy Spirit told me no. "Stay up here and work," He told me.
But I became angry at the command. "No!" I said in response. "I am sick and tired of being so hot all the time! I'm getting a break from it!"
So I took my work and went downstairs.
It was much cooler there. I sat at the table (this was the school table where we did our work during the week,) and felt relieved as I felt the cool breeze on my skin.
Then I felt something crawling on my leg. I thought it must be the fly that had been in the kitchen earlier. I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to look and make sure, but once again, I foolishly ignored Him. Without looking, I used my other foot to brush it off my leg.
That night, began one of the worst nights of my life. My heart pounded like it was trying to escape my chest, and every time I tried to lay down, I felt my lungs fill up with fluid till I had to sit up just to breathe. My head ached, and I felt almost like I had a severe case of the flu.
For three days, I was intensely ill.
I went back to the Lord and begged for His forgiveness, and asked Him to have mercy on me and help me. I push prayed until I heard Him give me directions. He told me not to go to the hospital, but instead was to take a certain number of vitamin C's, B vitamins, and calcium pills, and to repeat this as He instructed.
I told Him that I could not, for I had run out of calcium pills several days ago, and was waiting for the shipment to arrive any day.
"Go look," He said.
"It's not there, Lord! I'd just be wasting my energy!"
"GO LOOK!", He insisted.
Sigh. I knew my God was not going to give up. So I said "Fine! I'll go look!"
It wasn't where I usually keep it; it was sitting right at eye level, in front of the other bottles of assorted vitamins.
I was amazed. I figured that my husband had probably seen the shipment, and had begun unpacking it for me, but got called away before he could put them all away.
I thanked God, took the medicine, and slowly started to feel better.
A week later, and I was still suffering from the strange symptoms. So I went to the doctor.
He listened to my symptoms, looked at my swollen leg, (It looked like I had a half a grapefruit hiding under the skin,) and promptly diagnosed me with a black widow spider bite. He said I was fortunate that I had survived the poison, but that there was little he could do for me now, as the worst of the danger had passed. (The anti-venom was contraindicated this late in the game.)
So I went home, and researched on line what one could do for a black widow spider bite. To my amazement, one web site suggested taking large doses of vitamin C, B vitamins, and calcium, every few hours.
I thanked my husband for putting the bottle of calcium in my closet, but he said he didn't do it. "Maybe one of the boys did it," he replied. I figured he must be right.
But a week later, I got a notice in my email from the supplier of those calcium pills. "We are sorry to inform you, that the product you ordered has not yet shipped out, because it is still on back order…"
I was shocked. I went back into the closet to stare at the bottle of calcium pills. They looked no different from what I usually use. They were the same brand and dose as I usually keep on hand. But I took them and hugged them to my chest, and thanked God for sending them to me. When they ran out, I wanted to keep the bottle to remember it by, but the Lord said it might become an idol and that I was not to keep it, so I threw it out.
The symptoms lasted for close to a year. It is not something I would wish upon another living thing, ever.
This last night of Hanukkah, we remember what the Lord Jesus has done for us. This was one of them.
May you be blessed abundantly by the Lord God of all,
C. Dunamis
