A one-of a kind tool. A one-of-a-kind review
Never in the history of The Hughes Brothers Reviews have we devoted an entire review to a product costing but seven dollars.
Look out. Here it comes. And please give a listen. In more ways than one.
Toobaloo Auditory Feedback Phone Review
A reading phone? A reading phone!
The Toobaloo's manufacturer (Learning Loft) claims, and all sorts of satisfied users – the Brothers included – attest: the Toobaloo will accelerate reading fluency.
But kids being kids, first pick a color – orange, assorted neon, blue, green blue, pink, purple, red, red/purple, or silver.
Now what is the Toobaloo? Why, it's an educational tool designed to help children learn to read and to enhance speech. Created by a teacher, the Toobaloo gives auditory feedback about reading skills, with particular application to children with autism, auditory processing disorder, stuttering, or dyslexia.
The Toobaloo works its magic that, when children speak into the Toobaloo, they hear themselves, auditory feedback which allows them to make adjustments to fluency and pronunciation. Over time, reading comprehension should improve as well.
Toobaloo Auditory Feedback Phone The Auditory Feedback Loop
The loop involves the process of saying what one hears and hearing what one says. Breakdowns in that loop compromise several learning activities; concentration, reading, and speech allstand at risk of full development. The consequences of a gap in the loop are not pretty. Low self-esteem. Minimal confidence. Heightened anxiety.
Along comes the Toobaloo, designed to provide crystal-clear auditory feedback, supporting and enhancing the Auditory Feedback Loop. Even children without a breakdown in their auditory loop can benefit from enhanced auditory feedback. Hearing their own pronunciation, their pace, their fluctuation while speaking or reading encourages children to adjust, to correct what they hear and say.
The Toobaloo's potential beneficiaries
Anyone from four years of age to adulthood, classroom teachers, reading teachers, speech pathologists, special education teachers, music teachers, and foreign language teachers. And then children all along the autism spectrum, their parents, and families, and friends.
Its particular benefits.
· Crystalline auditory feedback
· Self-monitored, reading rate, phrasing, and expression (sound, duration, pitch, and stress)
· A boost of confidence in reading and comprehension
· Improved self-regard for readers of all abilities
· Increased fluency
· A motivation to read, resulting from the built-in enjoyment of the Toobaloo
· In the classroom, more opportunities to read aloud, daily even, without disrupting other children
Toobaloo Auditory Feedback Phone Negatives
The only complaint about the Toobaloo that the Brothers have yet encountered.
The Toobaloo breaks too easily. Its plastic construction is insufficiency rugged. It's not unbreakable.
Perhaps. Perhaps so.
But, friends, let us recall that we're dealing with an educational tool that costs little more than a large hot Starbucks foo-foo drink.
Surely, a thingamajig at such a painless price point capable of lifting your child's reading skills and, consequently, your child's lifetime enjoyment of reading . . . well . . . if that's not worth seven dollars, even a repeated seven dollars, then the Hughes Brothers have a skewed, an inadmissible value system going here.
We'll take our chances with the Toobaloo.
For all sorts of children. With all sorts of reading difficulties.
The Hughes Brothers have personal experience with these sorts of young readers. First, we have a young friend who found herself repeating herself. That is, she had reached a comfortable level of accomplishment in both math and reading. The little lady would read a sentence perfectly, but then feel compelled to read it perfectly a second time. And again. And again. Same way with arithmetic. She'd solve a long-division problem accurately. But then, lacking the confidence to attempt a slightly more difficult division problem, she would simply repeated the learned subject matter. Over and over again. After reading her sentence into the Toobaloo, almost immediately she felt the confidence to move forward in her reading. The reassuring sound of her own voice – operating with perfect fluency – encouraged her to read further, to forget the now needless repetition.
We know a second child, a little four-year-old boy, with various speech problems, a child already taking therapy for his difficulties. The Toobaloo replicates some of the work of the therapist, his own voice coming back to him now with nothing but opportunities to pronounce his words accurately and easily.
And lastly, some little buds down the road speak perfectly, above age-level, and always. These kids can talk. And they love their Toobaloo, its feedback somehow reassuring that these kiddos can speak with the best of them. And off the go. Non-stop.
As we say, the most detailed seven-dollar review we've ever done.
But we do, we Hughes Brothers believe – with all our hearts – that if there's the slightest hint in your mind that your little one might benefit from the Toobaloo, it might very well be the best pocket change you've ever spent.

Trump's DACA decision –> The administration will announce its position on "Dreamers" today — children who were brought to the US by their parents at a young age but who remain undocumented and face deportation. A tweet from Trump at 8 a.m. today — "Congress, get ready to do your job — DACA" — hinted at the path forward. The tweet indicates, NPR reports, that Trump intends to "let the program expire in six months, and place the onus on a sharply divided Congress to enact former President Obama's executive action into law. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is set to make a formal announcement at 11 a.m."
This means many people who grew up Americans could be deported to countries they haven't lived in since they were only a few years old. One such dreamer was Alonso Guillen, a 31-year-old DJ, who drowned while rescuing people stranded in Houston, the Houston Chronicle reports.
But, Julia Preston reports for The Marshall Project, the dreamers won't go quietly. "If President Trump was aggravated by the legal challenges to his travel ban, wait until he takes on the young immigrants who call themselves Dreamers. He is likely to face a far bigger storm of opposition in the courts and also in the streets if he decides to shut down a program that has given protection from deportation to nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants who came to this country as children."
Harvey clean-up begins –> It will be an enormous task. In many cases, Houston residents have lost everything — but with the first of the month, Oliver Milman reports for The Guardian, they are expected to pay rent on their destroyed homes.
The Associated Press reported over the weekend that 13 of 41 Superfund sites in Texas were flooded by the storm, but the EPA is nowhere to be found. "EPA's job is to try to clean those up and find responsible parties, the companies who originally caused the pollution and see if they can pay for the clean up," AP reporter Michael Biesecker told the PBS NewsHour.
When the AP put out its report, the EPA responded with a press release attacking the Biesecker, accusing him of "reporting from the comfort of Washington" (he was on site) and linking to a Breitbart article that called the AP "fake news."
AP reporter was there at flooded Superfund sites. EPA was not. 'Nuff said. https://t.co/GrDiFZU6ir

Meanwhile, the Caribbean and Florida are bracing for the impact of Hurricane Irma, a category five hurricane expected to reach Puerto Rico tomorrow.
Tanned, rested and… ready? –> Congress is back in session after an August break, and there's a lot on its plate. Michael Bender and Kristina Peterson report for The Wall Street Journal that Trump and Senate Republicans "will have to grapple with keeping the federal government open, paying US creditors and passing a hurricane-aid bill."
For now, it seems like a government shutdown won't be happening over Trump's border wall, as some, including the White House, were predicting. The AP reports that Treasury Secretary Mnuchin wants a debt limit increase in order to send a $7.9 billion disaster relief package to Texas.
The crisis worsens –> New data from Ohio's Department of Health shows that overdose deaths in the state, which is one of the hardest hit by the opioid crisis, rose by 33 percent between 2015 and 2016. Use of heroin and cocaine is growing in Ohio, but fentanyl overdoses have skyrocketed, Julie Lurie reports for Mother Jones.
"Begging for war"? –> North Korea detonated a nuclear weapon over the weekend. Though the country has tested many missiles during the past months, this explosion was the first test of an actual bomb during the Trump presidency. The administration warned that North Korea is "begging for war" and is asking China and UN Security Council members to stop sending any fuel to the country, David Sanger and Choe Sang-Hun report for The New York Times.
EPA steps up its climate denial –> Juliet Eilperin reports for The Washington Post that the Environmental Protection Agency now requires a political operative in the agency's public affairs office to sign off on any grants or awards coming from the agency. The aide, John Konkus, "reviews every award the agency gives out, along with every grant solicitation before it is issued," Eilperin reports, and has told his colleagues he is on the lookout for "the double C-word" and "repeatedly has instructed grant officers to eliminate references" to climate change.
Pruitt's endgame –> Why is Scott Pruitt pandering so heavily to climate deniers in his party's right wing? He's likely planning a run for office, those close to him say. Robin Bravender reports for E&E News that the EPA head could have his eye on the Oklahoma governorship, or be hoping to replace Sen. Jim Inhofe, the elder statesman of climate denial who famously brought a snowball to the Senate floor and thus proved climate change wasn't happening.
Very generous –> During the campaign, Trump broke with bipartisan orthodoxy and criticized the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, alleging that it was involved in 9/11. But after his first visit to the kingdom, he had fewer objections. Might the huge heap of gifts shoved his way by the Saudis helped to change his mind? Who can say. But thanks to a FOIA request from reporter Ken Klippenstein, The Daily Beast now has a full accounting of what those gifts were. They "range from the regal ('Artwork featuring picture of President Trump') to the martial (multiple swords, daggers, leather ammo holders and holsters), to the baroque (tiger and cheetah fur robes, and a dagger made of pure silver with a mother of pearl sheath)."
Sean Spicer, thought leader –> The former White House spokesman, who stayed in his job through a bevy of embarrassments only to quit once Anthony Scaramucci was made his boss, has a new gig. He will go on a speaking tour, traveling the world, dispensing "candor, wit and insight," according to his new employer, Worldwide Speakers Group. He's also looking for a television job after CNN refused to hire him, citing credibility issues related to his assertions about the crowd size at the inauguration "and other false statements made from the podium," Annie Karnie reports for Politico.

We've tried Mixpanel and Google Analytics, and we prefer Google Analytics. First off, the price can't be beat! We also have so much data internally on our database, and we just couple that with Google Analytics, which works well for us. We don't need Mixpanel, but Mixpanel is good if you're not as backend-driven as we are.
We use Skype for chat, but ever since Microsoft bought Skype, the quality of their video calls is much worse than before. So for video calls, we use Google Hangouts now.
We use Skype for chat, but ever since Microsoft bought Skype, the quality of their video calls is much worse than before. So for video calls, we use Google Hangouts now.
Currently, we're using WordPress, but we might build our own proprietary system in the future for security reasons.
We're old school; we use Forte! They bought Payments Gateway, which we were originally on, but we've stuck with it because it works beautifully and is cheap. But it's not the most aesthetically-pleasing platform. If you look at their merchant view, you think you're back in the '80s! But it's fine for us; just be aware there's a little bit of a learning curve.
GetResponse is fine; it's really good for beginners. They use older-style HTML templates, so if you're tech-savvy, this can get annoying.
We use QuickBooks Online. I think it's easy to use, but I have a skewed opinion because I have an accounting background.
We use the free version of LinkedIn. It's great because you have access to a huge pool of talent. My background is in executive search, so I've been using LinkedIn for years, and I like it a lot.
When Gusto came out, we chose them because they were so much better than competitors. It's very user-friendly.
We tried to integrate everyone into Podio first, but then migrated from Podio because the developers wanted to use JIRA. We all use JIRA now, and it's brilliant. The only downside is their notification system; it feels like it should've been upgraded years ago.

The cause of severe best water softeners. Water is determined to become hard when it contains higher than average levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. If your water is not hard, you might see a white picture on your bathroom fittings and shower doors along with white stains in your own home. Your clothes may look yellow or gloomy. Even worse, you can suffer from dry, itchy skin, and dull hair loss. You may also notice that appliances such as coffeemakers, dishwashers, and washing machines don't survive so long.
Many people consider that it's the salt that you add to a Water softener which softens the atmosphere, but it's the resin that does the real work. All the small resin beads inside your water softener tank filter out all hard water minerals. The salt is used to wash out the resin when your system regenerates.
System operates:
Water comes in your dwelling. As hard water enters the house from your primary water line or well, its first stop may be that the water softener tank.
The main water Heater tank is full of tiny resin beads. These beads are meant to pull the tough water and hold them at the tank, so efficiently removing them from the sea. During this approach, the hard water is exchanged for sodium on the resin beads.
Softened water leaves the tank also proceeds throughout your Pipes to be utilized on your water heater, your kitchen, bathrooms, as well as different water-using appliances.
After a certain quantity of water has been softened, the resin Beads must be rinsed clean of those water minerals and recharged with an increase of sodium, so they can collect and attract harder water from your water.
During the regeneration process, a solid brine Is Made On your system's brine tank out of the salt that you enhance the system. As this brine flows throughout your resin tank, the beads are excreted, and sodium has been exchanged for the minerals that have been accumulated. This process can take as long as two weeks, and also many systems allow you to schedule the regeneration for some little while when you aren't going to Use the
There Are a Lot of salt-free systems Using different Procedures To eliminate the hard water minerals from your water. As an example, the Aquasana system discussed previously uses a filter to reduce hard water minerals. The screen must be replaced, occasionally allowing more minerals to be filtered out.
The Eddy and YARNA systems mentioned above don't Take out the minerals from your water. Alternatively, they crystallize the minerals to keep them from sticking to surfaces, and that prevents scale from forming. These programs don't require salt, compounds, or
A filter, so they genuinely are virtually maintenance-free.

This shows the family on holiday in Greece and the Isle of Wight, and a benefit cricket match at Leicestershire County Cricket Ground for benefactor T. L. Bennett. The film begins showing a journey along a section of the Greek coast taken from a boat packed with holidaymakers sunning themselves on the deck. They arrive at a fishing village, where some take donkey rides and others sit at outside cafes. Ray Illingworth poses next to a ship, followed by one of his daughters. They continue their journey along the coast and arrive at a beach, where some go for a swim. They sunbathe beside a hotel pool. A group of holidaymakers have a game of volleyball. The film switches to a group of young men larking about next to a coach, and then another group having a sing song clapping hands. The film switches again to Ray Illingworth's two daughters in a garden, one of them sunbathing, the other riding a cycle. Then onto Leicestershire County cricket ground for a benefit match for T. L. Bennett. An elderly couple pose for the camera. Others gather by the member's enclosure next to a marquee. Some spectators sun themselves on a balcony watching the match. The film moves to show a view of the coast on the Isle of Wight and the surrounding view from the Tennyson Monument. The two daughters pose near the boats moored at Yarmouth, which is filmed as they leave it on a boat, passing the ferry from the mainland. There is a detached house on a main road, with a Jaguar parked outside, possibly the family home. The Jaguar is next parked by a coastal road with the two daughters. The family visit a beach and a park, before being by the sea at Cowes, with sailing ships out to sea. They move to another fishing village, where the daughters swim in a hotel swimming pool. They then visit a zoo. The film switches briefly to back home in winter where a group of children are playing snowballs. It returns to their holiday and a picnic by the sea near an old red and white striped lighthouse. They go out on a rowing boat, and the children play in the sand, before the film comes to an end.

Having a company info is really important to your business's success. However , many business owners have bad information about company identities that may damage their very own businesses. "Brand identity" is definitely the result of the combo of absolutely consistent visual components that are actually used inside your marketing resources. A simple brand identification is made up of a logo design, business cards, letterhead, and package. It can also be expanded to include a website, pamphlet, folder, hazard, or any other expertly crafted bits. I will be not a larger company: I just can't have/create/build a brand. Because your business not really large isn't going to means that you can't gain from creating a company individuality. Actually to get the actual company, a brand personal information is likely to make you look larger than you are, is likely to make you seem more professional, and will certainly choose a product sales process less complicated. You'll also experience a place to begin pertaining to building all of the advertising items, as well as your brand id will certainly make the marketing a breeze as well.
You will possibly not become able to produce a printing software that is as comprehensive and self-sustaining since those of a number of the big companies, since you refuses to manage to prepare your consumers like they can. Big companies with immediately recognizable trademarks and brand materials make those logos and products recognizable by simply spending a lot of time, money, and energy on educating the general public of their brands. This is certainly largely performed through marketing. Yet this may not to say that you should jump in existence once you have designed a company and start advertising and marketing; for a lot of small businesses, advertising and marketing is costly and isn't going to provide a very good return about investment. I just run my own business in a personalized, one-on-one way: building a brand would make my business impersonal. Building a brand i . d isn't necessarily a depersonalizing tactic. You can create a brand that is definitely very tailored, and including dedicated to you and the way that you help the clients. You can even make use of personal approach that you manage your organization being a difference device. That personalization can easily be one of many pieces of your company that makes you different. A lot of major brands are built with this customization. For instance , Mrs. Field's Cookies is created all around her story, methods, and quality recipes.
Having a brand information must not adjust the way that your company works. There might be some minor changes when you start working on the lining layers of your manufacturer, nevertheless manufacturer individuality just shifts the face of your business for the public, making it look better and more structured and professional. You can even structure the manufacturer i . d to look personalized by using a signature, initials, or maybe your image in your custom logo or Image Vocabulary. Setting up a brand is too much work. There can be a many work involved in creating a brand name and then creating the rest of the brand correspond it. Yet it's part and parcel of the total work that you should certainly do the moment you looking your business: deciding your differentiators, creating your manufacturer groundwork and creating some of your brand basics, and placement of your manufacturer. Accomplishing this job will offer your business a definite path, and can make pretty much all aspects of your business simpler. You may have the research for the purpose of your business laid out, and you should become able to develop that placement of feet to create accomplishment. Beyond this groundwork, you mustn't have to do very much work; in case you pick a very good trendy, you need to be in a position to have more of a prediction function. Outside of answering a few initial questions with regards to your business and company, you ought to be in a position to settle-back and associated with choices between options presented to you by that appointed expert, through the development of the logo and manufacturer individuality.
Your level of participation in the design and style method might also range depending on the volume of customization that you have found in your organization. If you're here running an extremely tailored organization, then you definitely will probably prefer to guide the design method closely, seeing that in a tailored business your brand will need to reflect your tastes and style. In the event that you're building a bigger organization, then the design of your company logo ought to indicate the industry and what's preferred for your company; often, a designer might guide some of those choices. I can't make use of a symbol which has been used before: I currently have to end up being entirely unique. By employing a variety of a logo that's been used ahead of, most likely leveraging the recognition and meaning that the symbol already provides. This is often the best plan for small business owners, because you will not have a large budget to pay on studying your target market on the interpretation of a unique symbol. What should always be unique about your brand identity is a way that you use these symbols. You are able to develop brand-new combinations of symbols to communicate your message. Or perhaps you can prepare the token in a different method, or perhaps employ them instead of letters inside your logo to generate it extra unique. Yet another way that you can choose a symbols unique is to bring them employing different techniques or effects, such mainly because calligraphy or color cerebral vascular accidents, or employing distinct symmetries. These kinds of methods make your emblems exclusive and interesting, and can likewise communicate associated with your brand's personality.

Seattle, WA: Catharine Clark Gallery is pleased to announce participation in the inaugural Seattle Art Fair seattleartfair.com from July 30 – August 2 2015, at CenturyLink Field Event Center, in Seattle, Washington. A collaborative project between Microsoft's co-founder Paul Allen and Art Market Productions, Seattle Art Fair builds on the region's existing momentum by creating a truly unique, innovative art event that will further establish Seattle as an influential player in the global art landscape. Catharine Clark Gallery (Booth 209) features work by five gallery artists working across disciplines and media. Masami Teraoka's iconic multi-color woodblock prints, made from hand-cut cherry wood and printed on Hosho paper, trace the evolution of Teraoka's mastery of this medium over four decades, from the 1970s through the early 2000s. Watercolor on paper from the Hanauma Bay Series, as well as a rare, intimate study from Teraoka's Wave Series typify contrasting manifestations of Teraoka's control, arresting detail, and delicacy with watercolor and the brush. Photomontages and mixed media work by Deborah Oropallo exemplify innovations in medium and approaches to the figure which defy narrow categorizations. Oropallo hybridizes her skills as a painter and photographer to create androgynous and erotic portraits, layering museum masterpieces with imagery sourced from contemporary costume catalogs. New work by San Francisco-based Wanxin Zhang includes several mid-size, porcelain ceramic sculptures. While the American Clay Revolution and Bay Area Figurative and Funk art movements are formative influences on Zhang's sculpture, his signature style infuses shanshui hua ("mountain-water painting") and other elements of his cultural heritage with the West Coast approach to the clay medium. Nina Katchadourian, whose work was most
recently included in the Venice Biennale and whose project with Creative Time opened this summer in NYC, presents work from her widely collected and renowned Seat Assignment series: a two-channel video titled, "Under Pressure (2015)," as well as limited edition C-prints from "Lavatory Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style." Paintings on canvas by Chester Arnold, who has had a presence in Seattle through gallery exhibitions, presents work from his "Accumulations" series, most exemplified by "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi."

Types of Braces
Clear aligners are a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays that straighten your teeth like braces. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.

Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.

All I can say is, "God Bless Mark!."
My sister found him online and brought him in to help us out...AND HE DID.
70 years of life well lived was more than myself, brother and sister could handle along with taking care of our parents.
Mark made every step easy. He set us up with local realtors, our choice of who to select, a lawyer for closing, and appraiser, the clean up...the whole nine yards. It's a no brainer and a relief for anyone who is in over their head.
Mark was totally understanding to the situation, compassionate and professional.
Worth every penny!
Thank you Mark and company.

To whom it may concern,
If you need help emptying the contents of a house or having a Garage or Estate Sale Mark is your man. Mark and his crew worked diligently to maximize profits during our Estate Sale and the house was swept and vacuumed, counters and window sills were wiped down and the house was 'Ready for Sale' after they were done. Just tell Mark what your 'end goal is' (cleanout or estate sale or both or getting a home ready to sell) and he will work hard to get your house to the state that you want it. Hiring X-Marks-The-Spot was 'THE BEST' investment that I made during the clean up and clean out and getting a 'Loaded house' ready for sale. Mark is a Hard Working, Detail Oriented, Honest Man who sticks to his word when it comes to money and timing. I give him my highest recommendation.
Best Wishes,
To Whom It May Concern:
I strongly recommend Mark and his team of professionals at X Marks the Spot to handle every aspect of selling and organizing your possessions when you are moving from your home.
I worked with X Marks the Spot when I was selling my home of 23 years. A full house of furniture, housewares, bicycles, piano, light fixtures and all the small and large items accumulated over the years were carefully organized, sorted, sold, consigned and donated.
The house was immaculate and left in broom clean condition and ready for the final inspection for sale. Mark handled every detail. Mark is honest and fair and he can handle every aspect of your home or estate sale. He treats his clients with concern and care.
He and his team treated us like family. If you like quality, dependable, honest service that yields great results, than X Marks the Spot is the company I would recommend with the highest accolades.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like any further information about my family's excellent experience with X Marks the Spot.

For the last quarter-century, England has played a very special role in the world of wines – an exotic in moist and chilly northern Europe.
When you think of England you might think of umbrellas, charm, and bowler hats. Specifically umbrellas, since British weather is famously rainy. Few people know that winegrowing in England is historically documented back to the 7th century. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the climate is mild enough for certain types of grapes to grow and fully ripen. The change in climate during recent decades has brought some advantages to English winemakers, improving growth conditions and encouraging many to try their luck at winegrowing.
Nyetimber was founded as a winery in 1988. However, the estate is much older; it was first mentioned in the Domesday Book (a famous land registry) in 1086. Embedded in the peaceful green landscape of West Sussex, with its carefully restored medieval buildings and houses, Nyetimber is a small gem that can transfer us into a far distant era.
Nyetimber was the first winery in England to grow champagne grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, all with the aim of producing the best English sparkling wine through respecting the "méthode traditionnelle". In the early 1990s, the first bottle left the winery and even beat some champagnes in various competitions.
The winegrowers Cherie Spriggs and her husband Brad Greatrix, both with international experience, have been responsible for all steps of the wine production since 2007. 170 hectares of grapes grow on eight different south-facing sites in Sussex and Hampshire on precious chalk soil similar to that found in the Champagne. Ever since the couple arrived at Nyetimber, they have worked to improve production processes. The inventory of reserve wines was and will be increased on a regular basis in order to create a non-vintage Classic Cuvée according to the Champagne model. At the other end of the production line is the Tillington Single Vineyard, the first English vintage sparkling wine from a single vineyard. A Rosé Non-Vintage and a Blanc de Blancs that will only be bottled during the best Chardonnay years, supplement this extraordinary sparkling wine experience.

Pinot noir
Blueprint of the terroir
No other variety expresses its terroir as precisely as Pinot noir. It is a sensitive, fragile grape. But when it succeeds, it gives the world some of its very greatest wine plants. It especially excels in Burgundy, where it has been cultivated for at least 700 years. Even in the middle ages, it was considered so precious that it was kept separate from other grapes so as to not diminish its value. The finest examples are delicate and fragrant with aromas of cherries and red berries. With maturity, notes of forest floor, leather and truffles enter as well. An irresistible fruity sweetness still shines through, even after several decades. The Pinot noir does well in cool locations: in Switzerland and in Germany, where it is known as Blauburgunder and Spätburgunder respectively; in Alsace and in South Tyrol, in Oregon, New Zealand and Tasmania. Not least, it yields fantastic champagnes. It is a wonderful culinary companion. With its soft tannins and charming bouquet, it meshes with everything, from Güggeli and cheeses to fried fish.
King or beggar?
Hardly any variety of vine shows such a broad spectrum of quality as the Chardonnay. Its wines range from faceless neutrality to breath-taking class. It is an extremely low-maintenance vine, which explains why it is grown around the world – even in places where it probably should not be. The aromas of the Chardonnay variety are not very pronounced: a bit of green apple, a little hazelnut; in warmer latitudes, also melon and exotic fruits. The wines are often defined by maturing in casks. They develop more or less subtle notes of butter, toasted bread and vanilla. The grapes achieve their highest expression in their region of origin, Burgundy. Its heart beats in the Côte de Beaune: one might think of the plant growth of Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet. With their finesse and complexity, they can survive for decades. Chardonnay also achieves first class in some Blanc-de-Blancs champagnes. It additionally yields great wines in the Burgundian Chablis, and increasingly in Australia and Chile. A simple rule of thumb for pairing with food: When butter and cream are involved, you cannot go wrong with Chardonnay.

|Nepheline Syenite
|Ball Clay
This recipe has been tuned to have about the same drying and fired shrinkage as the target clay bodies Plainsman M390 and M340 (this has more Zircopax and less flux than previous trials). Fired shrinkage was matched using the EBCT test.
Ball Clay: We use Old Hickory M23, but you can substitute others (e.g. OM#4, Gleason).
The color is whiter than previous trials (because of the zircopax), but some might prefer a little blue stain to brighten the color. We used 0.2% Mason 6336 with good success, others we tried agglomerated and caused specking).
This is an engobe, it must be applied at stiff leather-hard stage (if you apply it to dry or bisque it will flake off). It will rewet pieces and they will require significant time to re-stiffen to the same state. Even coverage can normally only be achieved by preparing a slurry of the correct rheological properties and dipping or pouring. It is vital that you have a good mixer and can effectively measure specific gravity. To mix this use the process described on the "Engobe" glossary page at the Digitalfire Reference Library.
Examples of mixes we have done:
Add the Darvan to the water then add the clay, mixing while doing so.
5000g powder to 3900ml water to 20g Darvan produced less than two gallons having a specific gravity of 1.55 (proportions are thus 100:78:0.4). But after a day it was too fluid and a tiny amount of epsom salts was added to bring it back to a creamy texture. In future mixes we will start with 15 Darvan.
Brush-on version: 75g Laguna gum solution, 280g water, 500g powder (makes 1 pint). A good mixer is needed to mix in the last of the powder (or an overnight sit will break up the lumps). This produces a consistency that is very brushable.
A black version, L3954F, can be made by substituting the Zircopax for Mason 6600 stain (7.5-15%). This produces a very high quality black color.
Left is Plainsman M340. Right is M390. Each mug has been white engobed inside and half-way down the outside. The insides have been glazed using G2926B clear. The inside surface has more depth and has a richer appearance than you could achieve using a white glaze (especially over the dark burning body). The outside of the left one is Alberta Slip base GA6A using Frit 3195 (it produces a more stable glass of lower thermal expansion). The outside glaze on the right is the clear plus 4% iron oxide. This technique of using the engobe enables porcelain-like functional surfaces on the insides and striking visual contrast and character on the outside of the dark body mug.
M340 stoneware fired to cone 6 (drop-and-hold schedule). The L3954B engobe fires deep black (it has 10% Mason 6600 black stain instead of the normal 10% Zircopax). It was applied inside and partway down the outside (a much less messy process than using a black clay body). They were bisque fired and glazed inside using the base GA6A Alberta Slip amber clear (using Frit 3195). The outside glaze is Alberta Slip Rutile Blue (you are seeing it on the bare buff body near the bottoms and over the black clay surface on the uppers). To learn more about how to make the engobe and start making black pots click "Product Data Sheets" at PlainsmanClays.com and go to the section on Medium Temperature.
Black burning bodies are popular with many potters. They are normally manufactured by adding around 10% burnt or raw umber to an existing buff-burning cone 6 stoneware. Umbers are powerful colorants, they have high iron and also contain manganese (the latter being the primary source of the color). But these clays can be troublesome. First, good kiln venting is needed to avoid breathing the dangerous manganese metal vapors. Micro-bubble clouding/gloss-loss in the glazes and blistering/bloating of the bodies are common. But this mug fired perfectly. Why? The umber was added to a cone 10 stoneware instead (and it has fluxed the body to mature at cone 6). The mug has been white engobed on the inside and partway down the outside during leather hard stage. After bisque it was clear glazed on the inside giving a flawless surface (using G2926B) and dipped in GA6-A Alberta Slip base amber-clear. The GA6-A over the black clay produces a very deep, rich, almost black ultra-gloss surface.
This is the standard Plainsman L3954D white engobe recipe with the 10% Zircopax switched for Burnt Umber. The result is a dark, rich, ultra-gloss brown (almost black). The engobe is applied inside and half-way down the outside. The mug on the left is glazed inside and out with the base GA6A Alberta Slip cone 6 recipe (but uses Ferro Frit 3195 instead of 3134). The one on the right has the same glaze on the outside but the G2926B clear transparent on the inside (it is micro-bubbling). This engobe works even better with a black stain.
On the right is what it will look like when fired with a clear glaze on the inside and amber-clear on the outside. On the left it has dried and is ready for a little fix-up before bisque firing.
The foot ring on these hard mugs has already been trimmed. At the stiff-leather-hard stage an engobe was applied to the inside. This rewet the bodies of the mugs, almost to the same point as freshly-thrown. But the handles did not get rewetted. To re-dry these mugs to the point of being able to turn them over will take 4-6 more hours. But by that time the handles will be bone dry. To prevent that I waxed them after trimming. That slows their drying down enough to keep them even with the body of the mug. To dry ware successfully the key is to keep all parts of a piece of the same water content throughout the process.
The body is buff burning Plainsman M340 (cone 6). The amber colored glaze is 80% Alberta Slip (raw:calcine mix) with 20% of each frit. The white engobe on the inside of mug 1 is L3954A (also glazed inside using transparent G2926B). These frits are producing an amber gloss glaze of high quality. On the outside of mug 1 we see the 3195 version on the white slip until midway down, then on the bare buff clay (the other has the 3249 version). These mugs are fired using a drop-and-soak firing schedule. There is a caution: Frit 3249 has a very low thermal expansion, use it on bodies that craze other glazes (like Plainsman P300), it could shiver on stonewares like this.
These two mugs are made from a dark red burning stoneware and fired in a cool-and-soak firing schedule. A white engobe (L3954A) has been applied on the inside and half way down the outside. Both are glazed inside with G2926B whiteware transparent glaze. The outside glaze on the left is the same transparent with 4% added iron oxide. It has been sieved to 80 mesh. Notice the iron agglomerates and still produces specking (an effect that may be desired, but difficult to keep consistent). Interestingly, that iron is producing a clear amber-colored glass about equal in color to the Alberta Slip GA6A base glaze (80% Alberta Slip, 20% Frit 3195) on the mug on the right. Neither has the micro bubbles that mar a typical clear glaze on bodies like this.
This is a white engobe (L3954B) drying on two dark burning cone 6 stoneware leather-hard mugs (Plainsman M390). Those lumps are on the left cannot be screened out, they are agglomerates. That slip has excessive flocculant (powdered Epsom salts are added to gel it so that it stays put on the piece after dipping). About 4 drops of Darvan were added to one gallon of the slurry, this immediately made it smooth and a perfect consistency for application. It remains stable on ware (without runs). Engobes require tight control to have the right viscosity and thixotropy (which can be achieved over a range of specific gravities (about 1.45-1.6). When they are right they are a joy to use, when they are not ware is ruined.
This is the L3954B engobe recipe but it has 15% Mason 6600 black body stain (instead of the normal 10% Zircopax for white). There is no cover glaze, yet it is durable and absolutely coal black (so a lesser stain % is possible). We have updated the mixing instructions at PlainsmanClays.com and Digitalfire.com pages (showing exact amounts for water, powder, Darvan) and the text on the glossary pages about thixotropy and engobes (read these again and learn to use the engobe process even better). This engobe base is designed to work on regular M340/M390 stonewares (not porcelains). This is exciting because these bodies are so much more robust in drying and much less expensive than porcelains.

What happens now... I realized members here have different levels of experience, and I want to...
1) get out of crypto for the a couple of months... or even if g20 concludes shit even for over a year.
2) Invest only what you're able to afford and let's play the game to the best with cards we are being dealt.
This is what I, after consulting with a team expect. The bitcoin is not yet done falling. There are going to be temporary recoveries even spikes, followed by another due to g20.
Today for the first time ever Japanese law enforcement raided crypto exchange.
This is new. And Japan is one of the 4 greatest markets.
IF you are in Premium with us, you'll be able to enjoy some profit spikes, however the ride is going to be more volatile than you ever experienced in 2017. Most people will lose in first half of this year because it is not a war pick vs pick. It is of people vs the controlling government.
We can ride the waves, profit on changes, however, disregarding 20-30% bitcoin drop - if you need to sell all, sell all, and get out of the game. IF you are here like a true investor, investing what you CAN afford, then stick with me, we will survive and profit together.
This is important news for the benefit of the crypto and so consize it's hard to get on the internet, so I will share this with a free group as well. Because at the end of day, we are all building this free-from-regulations, digital money together, so we fight together.
In summary: get out if you are in with money you can't afford to lose.
Join us and let's ride the waves together if you can - the odds are we will profit wildly a couple of times between the spikes.
Premium group will get soon one piece of info about buying points, selling, how we will profit fast etc. Thank you.

Rebirth of laser vision correction
The higher order aberration ablation treatment pattern, which was added to the standard myopic and astigmatism profile. Best corrected vision with glasses was 20/15 preop and 20/12 postop.

Surgeons and industry continue to improve outcomes and boost patient satisfaction
Since its 1999 approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), LASIK has been an effective vision correcting procedure, and its potential to improve vision has continued to evolve.
LASIK technology
One impetus behind LASIK advances has been the evolution of technology. "It's fun to look back. I was in the first clinical trials [for LASIK], and we had this argon fluoride laser and were trying to figure out how to use it. We were discussing if we should be opening or closing the diaphragm and where to center the procedure," Dr. Durrie said.
LASIK complications, side effects
Glare, halos, and dry eye are all complications or side effects associated with LASIK through time. Yet recent research shows these side effects, if they occur at all, are transient.
Safety and contact lenses
Many patients who have LASIK have used contact lenses in the past and had trouble with them or simply got tired of the daily routine. One area of interest to surgeons—and patients—is how modern LASIK fares against contact lenses in terms of safety and patient satisfaction. A study published last year and led by Marianne Price, PhD, Indianapolis, found that compared with contact lens use, LASIK improved night driving and had higher patient satisfaction levels at 1, 2, and 3 years of follow up.4 LASIK also significantly decreased self-reported rates of eye infections, ulcers, and abrasions and did not significantly raise the incidence of dry eye symptoms. Dry eye symptoms were increased, however, compared with baseline of glasses.
Patient satisfaction
One factor not tracked with LASIK early on was patient satisfaction. This led to some concern from the FDA, Dr. Price said. Since then, studies have found consistent reports of high patient satisfaction; the study from Sandoval et al. reported an overall 98.7% satisfaction rate with LASIK, and the PROWL research found more than a 95% satisfaction rate.1,3 The high level of satisfaction is for several reasons, said Dr. Solomon, who was a co-investigator in the Sandoval study. "We're doing a better job at patient selection, we have better technology to assist with the screening process, and we have better technology to create flaps and better lasers to perform ablations," he said. "There's been a lot of research and development devoted to LASIK."
Future of LASIK
Just as a great deal of research has led to LASIK advances in the first decades of the procedure, more advances will continue. More sophisticated diagnostic technology that spurs continuous quality improvement will likely refine the procedure, as will the addition of topography, Dr. Durrie thinks.
Editors' note: Dr. Durrie has financial interests with Johnson & Johnson Vision (Santa Ana, California) and Alcon (Fort Worth, Texas). Dr. Solomon has financial interests with Alcon. Drs. Hofmeister and Price have no financial interests related to their comments. The views and opinions expressed by Dr. Hofmeister are her own and do not necessarily reflect the official position of the U.S. Navy, Department of Defense or Federal Government.

Alzheimer's Association Holds Research Update
COLUMBIA - Researchers whose work is funded by the Alzheimer's Association presented their ideas Tuesday. MU Professor Harry Tyrer spoke about his new development called "smart carpet." It's a system that benefits elderly people living alone.
The carpet system monitors the steps and pacing of people walking throughout the home, aiding in the detection of a fall.
Tyrer said many sensors are in place to not only monitor the activity, but to also match the activity to the possible problem. The system is connected to a web program that allows family members to check the activity online. "You're going to be able to use the web to be able to go in there and check on 'grammy' and see how she's doing, or see how grandpa is doing," Tyrer said.
He also said his main concerns with the system are making sure elderly people, especially those with Alzheimer's, feel secure when they are home alone and to give family members the chance to participate in caregiving.
The Alzheimer's Association is the largest private funder for Alzheimer's research in the country. Its mission is to eliminate disease through the advancement of research.

I tried driving last weekend on a rented car. In total I drove about 60km on the first day which is decent given that I got my DL in India only in June and this was my first try in Canada. I went around for an hour in the morning close to the house, mostly in circles getting the hang of the car. In the evening we ended up driving to Richmond with Shubham and me taking turns at the wheel. Driving is nice and convenient when the traffic moves fast but when you are stuck in traffic, it's boring – on a bus you can at least watch a movie on your media player without worrying about what's happening outside.
I tried cooking a few curries (A coworker disagrees with me on this "yeah right, men mix powder and chicken and then they call it cooking". But I still call it cooking since I have to DO stuff and the ROI is pretty good :P). I also made french fries a few times and ended up setting off the smoke alarm the first time. What followed was 2 min of waving the smoke away from the detector until it went off. Phew!
Work finally has started – my manager assigned a project on Friday. I am excited to be working on this project with one of the laziest guys in the world, a title that I have at times gone by in the past (yes, it is possible to work 80 hrs/week and still hold the title. Also, Shubham Mittal, if you are reading this, please please remember to buy French Fries from Safeway on the way back from work).
Today, I went to get my air shipment cleared at the customs office and also got my B1 visa approved which means I get to go for a team morale event in Redmond (white water rafting). Not bad no? Eligble for a morale event after just one week of effective work 😀
One thing I've been thinking of doing is working on this startup idea on weekends but so far haven't started (let's just say I'm having "start-up" issues :P). Ever been in a situation where you think of an idea that could have a big impact on so many people you know but are too lazy to get up from the bed and work on it? I've done that one too many times at IITK, but somehow managed to get back that spark during the MSR internship and hopefully it will stay now.

Never underestimate the power of kindness
Sun, Mar 1 2015
Optimist. Advocate. Defender of hope.
"I am far more aware than I'd particularly want to be about people's inhumanity and the terrible things that some people do to their own families," says Catherine Hedlin. "There are stories I will never forget and will never share—they're just too ugly."
In her previous life as the executive director of the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton, she saw many horrific things. And perhaps one of Catherine Hedlin's greatest kindnesses to others is that she keeps those stories of heartbreak and inhumanity to herself.

Well this is it for what has been a fun 2019 regular season. This weekend is primarily known for all the rivalry games that fill the schedule. It all starts Thursday with the "Egg Bowl", as Ole Miss will travel to Mississippi State. We have five games featuring top 25 teams. Ohio State will travel to Michigan and Alabama travels to Auburn in this weeks top two games. There are still a dozen teams seeking bowl eligibility. Below is analysis on all the big games, and each team who is still in bowl contention.
No.1 OHIO STATE (11-0) AT No.13 MICHIGAN (9-2) This game is known as "The Game". Ohio State has won 14 of the last 15. Michigan is currently playing some of the best football in the country. Quarterback Shea Patterson has found his groove since an early October loss to Penn State. The defense has also stepped it up during the Wolverines four game winning streak. The Buckeyes were tested for the first time last week against Penn State. The response was a positive one, that should benefit the Buckeyes, moving forward. The latest CFP poll has the Buckeyes at number one. I happen to agree with that. Head coach Ryan Day knows what is at stake in this game. The Wolverines will play a very inspired game, but I just don't think they have the athletes to stay with the Buckeyes for sixty minutes. FIELDS AND YOUNG ARE THE DIFFERENCE, BUCKEYES 35-24.
No.12 WISCONSIN (9-2) AT No.10 MINNESOTA (10-1) This game is played for "Paul Bunyan's Axe". The Axe currently resides in Minnesota. This game comes down to weather for me. The Gophers have the advantage if the weather is calm. The forecast is for snow and cold temps. If the wind blows, it will hurt the ability of Gopher quarterback Tanner Morgan to sling the ball around to his quality receiver group. Bad weather will give the Badgers the advantage. Tailback Jonathan Taylor will be the best player on the field. He should have another big day. Did you know that the Badgers have lost 13 fumbles this season. That is second most in the FBS. Ultimately the winner will win the BIG-10 West and face Ohio State in the championship game. Since I can't predict the weather, I'll call for the Badgers to continue their seven game winning streak at Minnesota in tact. BUCKY WINS SPIRITED BATTLE OVER GOLDY, 24-23.
No.5 ALABAMA (10-1) AT No.15 AUBURN (8-3) The "Iron Bowl", is one of my favorite rivalry games each and every year. This years game has plenty of intrigue. Alabama must win this game to keep their CFP playoff hopes alive. Mac Jones has made two starts for the Tide. He has faced Western Carolina and Arkansas. I think I could have success throwing the ball against those two schools. Alabama has a huge advantage over Auburn at the receiver position. The accounting firm of Ruggs, Juedy and Smith will be playing in the NFL. Auburn quarterback Bo Nix will be the key to this game. Can he generate enough offense against what has been a disappointing Alabama defense? In the past, the only way to beat Alabama is with a dual-threat quarterback. The Tigers are by far the best defense Alabama has faced this season. It will be difficult for Jones to hit his receivers from his backside. NIX LEADS TIGERS TO NARROW 23-21 VICTORY.
No.9 OKLAHOMA (10-1) AT No.21 OKLAHOMA STATE (8-3) Bedlam baby! The Cowboys always seem to get up for this game, no matter what their record is. I wonder how this game would have played out if Spencer Sanders and Tylan Wallace were available for the Cowboys. Quarterback Dru Brown made his first start for the injured Sanders last week and played well against West Virginia. The Sooners have struggled the past few weeks, and have been bailed out by quarterback Jalen Hurts. Oklahoma will put eight men in the box, to attempt to slow down the nations leading rusher Chuba Hubbard. The Sooners still have a chance to go to the Playoffs, which means they should be focused for a big win. HURTS SHINES, WHILE LEADING SOONERS TO 51-3O VICTORY.
No.19 CINCINNATI (10-1) AT No.18 MEMPHIS (10-1) The Bearcats are in the unique position of knowing they can lose this game and still play for the AAC Championship. The Cats have been living on the edge in November. Two road tilts at East Carolina and South Florida could have resulted in losses. Temple gave them all they could handle last weekend. Memphis on the other hand has been explosive. The Tigers are on a five game winning streak, in which they have scored 237 points. I expect the Tigers to jump on the Cats early, forcing them to play catch up. The Cats offense isn't built to do that. THE TIGERS WIN ROUND ONE 43-24.
ARMY (5-6) AT HAWAII (8-4) Army will travel over 5,000 miles to play this game. It's been a very disappointing season for the Black Knights, who have not lived up to expectations. They still have a shot for the post-season with a win here. This is a terrible spot for Hawaii. The Rainbows just beat San Diego State for the right to play Boise State in the Mountain West Championship game next weekend. The Bows have nothing to play for here, and in fact, maybe prepping for the Broncos. Army runs an option offense, which is the same offense that Air Force employed when they beat Hawaii 56-26 back in October. ARMY MARCHES THROUGH HAWAII, 38-21.
MARYLAND (3-8) AT MICHIGAN STATE (5-6) The Spartans can salvage their season with a bowl invitation. Last week they whitewashed Rutgers 28-0. Maryland mailed it in weeks ago. I can see another shut out. SPARTY 28-0.
WASHINGTON STATE (6-5) AT WASHINGTON (6-5) Great rivalry, known as "The Apple Cup". weather forecast calls for clear skies in Seattle. THIS GUARANTEES A SHOOT OUT, COUGARS 48-45.
No. 23 VIRGINIA TECH (8-3) AT VIRGINIA (8-3) Winner will play Clemson in the ACC Championship game. TECH WINS COMMONWEALTH CUP FOR THE 16TH STRAIGHT TIME, 31-24.
TEXAS A&M (7-4) AT No.2 LSU (11-0) The Aggies have never defeated LSU in Baton Rouge. I HAVE NO REASON TO THINK THAT WILL CHANGE, BAYOU BENGALS 41-24.
FLORIDA STATE (6-5) AT No.11 FLORIDA (9-2) The Florida Cup is on the line. CLOSER THAN THE EXPERTS THINK, GATORS 31-24 .
OLE MISS (4-7) AT MISSISSIPPI STATE (5-6) The "Egg Bowl" is for the battle of Mississippi. Many think the loser will have their coach fired. I LOVE WHAT JOHN RYHS PLUMLEE HAS DONE FOR THE REBEL OFFENSE, REBEL YEL, 42-38.
WEST VIRGINIA (4-7) AT TCU (5-6) The Horned Frogs have been a different team since Max Duggan has taken over the quarterback position. Duggan is a dual-threat that has the potential to be a top-flight quarterback in the BIG 12 for years. Duggan will be the reason the Horned Frogs get bowl eligible on Saturday. FROGGY SENDS MOUNTAINEERS PACKING, 36-24.
No.24 APPALACHIAN STATE (10-1) AT TROY (5-6) Troy is actually a good football team. The Trojans need this game for a bowl invitation. The problem is this. The Mountaineers still have a lot to play for here. They need this game to stay in the hunt for a New Years Day bowl. That's enough reason for me to play the Mounties here. APPY STAYS FOCUSED, 38-28.
COLORADO (5-6) AT No.8 UTAH (10-1) Colorado surprised me last weekend with their upset of Washington. The Buffs now just need one more victory for the magic six. Utah has way to much to play for, to let this one slip away. It's also senior day in Salt Lake. Tyler Huntley, Zack Moss and Bradlee Anae will all want to go out with a bang. UTES BIG! 42-7.
UL MONROE (5-6) AT LOUISIANA (9-2) These two schools play for the "Wooden Boot". The game is also commonly referred to as "The Battle of the Bayou". The Warhawks need this game for a bowl invitation. The Rajin' Cajuns have won four out of the last five games. The Cajuns have the fifth ranked rushing attack in the FBS. The Warhawks are ranked 127th versus the rush. CAJUNS IN A ROUT! 48-30.
KENT STATE (5-6) AT EASTERN MICHIGAN (6-5) Eagles will be going bowling for the first time in back-to-back seasons! The Flashes need this one to go bowling. The flashes have more to play for. FLASHES GO BOWLING FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2012, 30-27.
BOSTON COLLEGE (5-6) AT PITTSBURGH (7-4) I never thought that the Eagles would be in this position, needing a win in the final week of the regular season. The Panthers have been up and down all season, and last week laid an egg at Virginia Tech. Both these teams are former BIG EAST members, and have only met once since joining the ACC. The Panthers have the defense to limit Mr. Dillon. PITTSBUGH WINS A CLOSE ONE, 28-21.
NORTH CAROLINA (5-6) AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE (4-7) Injuries have torn apart the season for the Wolfpack. Both sides of the ball have been hit hard. Devin Leary is now under center for the Wolfpack. He is the third quarterback to start a game. The Tar Heels have lost six games and have been outscored in those contests by just 26 points. Quarterback Sam Howell has a 32 to 6 touchdown to interception rate. Not bad for a true freshman! Head coach Mack Brown will have his boys ready. TAR HEELS BREAK THREE GAME LOSING STREAK, 40-27.
IOWA (8-3) AT NEBRASKA (5-6) These two schools play for the "Heroes Trophy". The trophy was created in 2011, but the schools have been playing since 1891. Iowa has won four straight. Nebraska needs a win if they expect to go bowling. I have a funny feeling that head coach Scott Frost will have the Cornhuskers ready to play a complete game. HUSKERS BREAK FOUR GAME LOSING STREAK TO HAWKEYES, 27-24.
ARIZONA (4-7) AT ARIZONA STATE (6-5) The "Territorial Cup", is the battle of Arizona. This series started back in 1899. A few days ago I was reading a blog about how Wildcat quarterback Grant Gunnell was thriving in offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone's system. That's certainly not what I've seen! The home team has won four out of the last five. SUN DEVILS CONTINUE THAT TREND AND kEVIN SUMLIN LOSES HIS JOB IN THE PROCESS, 41-23.

If you've ever worn tactical gloves while shooting and wished for something better… your wish is now reality.
Over 2 years in the making, the PIG FDT-Alpha Glove (Patented) offers ground breaking dexterity while providing much needed protection from the rigors of tactical work. Developed by a Rogers Shooting School"Advanced" graduate with over a decade of experience in instructing Military and Law Enforcement personnel, the FDT-Alpha Gloves were designed from the ground up to minimize impact on the shooter's grip.
We are proud to now offer the ALL-NEW ALPHA TOUCH model that is Touch Screen compatible! Based on user feedback from hundreds of customers who didn't want anything changed on the glove, we opted to keep the material the same so as not to compromise the tactile dexterity, and go with a Conductive Thread that contains genuine Silver to ensure positive and reliable touch screen compatibility.
Instead of following the tired old routine of reinventing the Aviator Flight Glove, or making a "cool" looking glove with padding and layers in all the wrong places, the PIG design team partnered with the pre-eminent designer from an industry that actually makes gloves that fit really well- the sports glove industry. The FDT-Alpha Gloves were worn in earning a Pistol-Training.com FAST Coin, an accomplishment previously considered nearly unobtainable while wearing tactical gloves.
Featuring several industry firsts, the FDT-Alpha allows unfettered access to all your firearms controls and manipulations, without the overwhelming bulk of unnecessary padding and layers. When it comes to gloves you can shoot with, contrary to most of the other tactical gloves on the market, less IS more… the less you feel your gloves, the better you can shoot with them.
FEATURES (* indicates industry firsts for a tactical glove):
While the PIG FDT-Alpha/Alpha Touch Gloves will be some of the highest quality gloves you own, given the nature of the job we expect them to do, they are NOT designed to outlast the Apocalypse. We believe that the trade off in extreme dexterity and sensitivity for perceived durability is well worth it, and far better than the old-school "cut off the finger tips" or "go bare handed" solutions.
At the end of the day, the PIG FDT-Alpha/Alpha Touch Gloves are a consumable product that will provide the user with the best tactile dexterity available in a tactical glove, and should be worn to destruction, then discarded and replaced. The selection of super sensitive materials and extremely tight seams mean that these gloves will eventually wear out, and there are no warranties implied. Please try them on and inspect them thoroughly for fit and finish before removing from the hangtag, but be forewarned, you will not want to take them off.
Priced competitively for the non-FR utility glove market, the PIG FDT-Alpha/Alpha Touch are the first in a new line of tactical gloves for PIG. FR and Women's models are expected by Spring 2014.

Nothing Doer
I just needed to take a decision,
do my tasks, take a breath, an attitude.
Instead, I prefered to stay home
doing nothing, only with my solitude.
Killing time is my main occupation.
I have no direction here in nothingland.
I'm a nothing doer, and I'm good.
Slowly sinking down in quicksand.
I will not be condemned to death,
then I hang my days loose.
If I tried, I could be better...
There's no excuse.
(Júlio B.)

This prophecy predicts a major tsunami of never before seen size hitting New York City and parts of the East Coast causing massive damage on a biblical scale. This is potentially connected with the "Meteor Destruction of America" prophecy, as well as *possibly* the New Madrid Earthquake prophesy, although it doesn't necessarily have to be as there are plenty of other sources from which this event could originate.

Laura Nestler knows a thing or two about achieving a work/life balance, and it's because she's blended the two together. Seamlessly.
Prior to her current position as Director of Community at Duolingo, Nestler worked with both Yelp and HoneyBook, connecting costumers around the globe with these companies' products. She designed the infrastructure that allowed Yelp to jump off internationally so that you can search for that perfect day spa while abroad with your in-laws.
Nestler is also responsible for assisting with HoneyBook's partnership with The Rising Tide Society, which connects creative entrepreneurs internationally with the resources they need to build their businesses.
In this episode, BF intern Nicole Fallert speaks with Nestler about leadership, the power of language and always asking yourself one question: "Why?"
