The average age for braces is 12 years old, but did you know the American Academy of Orthodontics recommends seeing an orthodontist by age 7? Given the fact that children are typically 13 years old before all of their permanent teeth arrive, it's understandable parents want to wait to visit an orthodontist. "Most parents don't want to come at that early age because they don't want to be told their child needs braces. And I want them to know that most of the time that's not going to happen," says PDOC orthodontist Dr. KC Dyer. "Just because you have a consult, don't think your child is going to be walking out of the office with braces," he assures.
In fact, 95% of Dyer's first consultations with young patients result in no intervention. "We just want to assess their teeth to make sure they are coming in correctly and developing like they should." Most parents are advised to take a "wait and see" approach. Their child's growth and development are monitored periodically and if treatment is needed it can happen at the optimal time during predictable stages of growth. "That early consult is really to help make things easier in the long run. We're more on the conservative side of intervention, but there are certain things that have to be corrected early on," he cautions. Severely crowded or protruding teeth, crossbites or underbites, improper jaw growth or speech problems are indicators of such issues and addressing them early could make the difference between more extensive treatment later for a much longer period.
Yet, early intervention doesn't necessarily mean another trip to the orthodontist. "A lot of the time, any action taken is usually by the pediatric dentist, such as an early extraction or maybe an expander to help prevent a future issue from worsening," says PDOC pediatric dentist, Dr. Chad Eslinger. "I think the advantage of our combined pediatric and orthodontic office versus perhaps general dentistry or orthodontics only is that we work together in real time to decipher those issues." Patients at PDOC know they can count on a team of doctors for expert care, and a staff that make it much easier for parents by often scheduling same day consults and treatment.
Recently Eslinger's group referred a young boy whose mother wondered why they needed an ortho consult at all, saying, "his baby teeth look perfect." And while they appeared to be fine, x-rays revealed that his permanent canine teeth were coming in sideways. "Sometimes at that age we're looking at the eruption pattern of the teeth on the -x-ray and that is important," he says. "For instance, we may remove a baby tooth a little early, so the canine comes in the right way on its own, and we prevent having surgery later to attach a bracket to fix the tooth."
Dr. Dyer believes working together as a team helps assure parents their child's oral health is in good hands. "Our pediatrics team treats a lot of 7 and 8-year-old kids every day, but they only refer those that really need to be seen. Early intervention is rare, and parents can trust that we always take a conservative approach to what your child needs."

Airplanes Fly Directly Above You at This River Bank in Osaka
It's a unique experience you can't miss!
Only a few locals and tourists know about the Senri River Bank. Those familiar with the place usually either live near Osaka International Airport or are avid aircraft fanatics.
In this article, we take a closer look at a family's experience of visiting the place.
Senri River Left Bank
2 Haradanaka, Toyonaka City, Osaka
Contact: +81-6-6858-2096 (Urban Vitality Department Airport Section)
How to get there: It is 1.5 kilometers from Hankyu Sone Station.
The Sasaki family arrived at the Senri River Left Bank on a fall weekday. Ever since they bought a Toyota Raize (Rise) compact SUV, their family trips have become more frequent. Their itinerary for the day includes a one-hour drive to an aircraft fan's paradise.
The Senri River Left Bank is a five-minute walk from the parking lot (with fee). The best spot can be found along the river, where airplanes occasionally fly right above one's head.
On weekends, this place typically attracts millions of visitors. But on a normal weekday morning, only 30 to 40 people are in the area. Around this time, finding a spot with a good view won't be a problem.
Ten minutes after the Sasaki family arrived, the other visitors started pointing their fingers to the sky. "Here it comes!"
Everyone watches in awe as an airplane flies right above their heads. If you narrow your eyes and look at the aircraft carefully, you'll notice that it's in a takeoff position. The engine roars loud as it travels past the river.
The airplanes fly 20 meters above, which is close enough for the wind caused by the jet propulsion to scatter the sand on the riverbank in different directions.
The airport runway is located sixty meters from the riverbank. When seen up close, the 200-ton aircraft is much bigger than expected. The gust of wind it brings to the spectators is also quite strong. So much so that just being there seemed like a test of courage.
The visitors gathered at the three-meter wide riverbank had different reactions. Some smiled brightly and jumped in excitement, while others stood dumbfounded.
Airplanes land at the Osaka International Airport about 180 times each day. Most of the take-offs and landing occur between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Once they saw another aircraft coming, the family moved to another area where they predicted the plane would pass. They were able to witness the second one much more closely.
Since the Sasaki family was much nearer the plane, the sound of the engine was louder. Although visiting the place and watching the airplanes zoom past at night is recommended, seeing the same view during the day is just as exhilarating.
The family stayed at the venue for about two hours. While they were there, they got to enjoy the spectacular view about 15 times.
"Wow! The plane is right above us!" Shou shouts. Mr. and Mrs. Sasaki were just as excited.
A regular visitor told the Sasaki family that whenever a Boeing 777 passed by, a small whirlwind formed on land. Unfortunately, no aircraft of this type passed by during the family's visit.
The Senri River Left Bank is 60 meters away from the Osaka International Airport. During Golden Week in May, rapeseed flowers bloom in the area.

Sara-Mae Tuson
the plunge
wild flowers, earth bound
ever moribund
rooted to cracks in the cliff face.
there they watch, blind witnesses, under starlit sky,
as the girl yokes her ankle, ties the tether.
the updraft lifts the heavens
breath of angels fills to booming,
such is the looming wind, crushing the waves.
sweet airs, like canticles, break into particles of sound
seismic, immovable, under a blackening sky.
the girl's charcoal imprint, cursed,
against the light, the Grecian curve of her form
no sooner begotten as forgotten.
into the giddy depths she plunges,
or rather, slows her descent.
maddened by the blood pulsing in her ears
always the challenge, the fulminating glue
screwing her to the sticking point,
though she was given the starkest of warnings:
she saw her lover die.
now, he is always otherwhere,
though she counts the seconds for him yet,
timing him as he shoots into the murk.
seconds that turned to hours, churning days,
whittling weeks down to this moment;
where she is herself, encapsulated,
squared down to force, to fire – unquenchable.
decompression booms like a cannon,
so she swallows, body thirsting for something
more than oxygen.
as she pushes down, through heavy water,
wiring fixed, set to phosphorescence
the naked dream blurs into steel bands, seizing the organ,
pumping the last of her air through the branches of her lungs –
spread like Christ's outstretched palms.
fathoms from home, upside down,
on the wrong side of the earth; the wire taut, sprung –
she finally touches the edge of understanding
what the boy was reaching for all those times –
in the dark, under the water,
she sees what he saw.

Yass Redbacks host successful Open Day
On Saturday February 9, the Yass Redbacks held their annual Open Day for junior soccer registrations at Walker Park.
This is the second year running that the Redbacks have held registrations for their junior players, and with over 200 children signed up, this year was arguably a bigger success than 2018 when roughly 180 children registered.
There were plenty of attractions on offer with which the kids could amuse themselves while parents were signing up, including a sausage sizzle, giveaways, target-based games, face painting, a jumping castle, and the opportunity to try on their new kits.
As the club neared the end of the Open Day, a post on its Facebook page said that it had been a "fantastic" day.
For those who were unable to take part on Saturday, registrations are open until Sunday February 17, and today the Redbacks will host an additional sign-up session at Walker Park from 5.00pm-6.30pm.
There are still spots open in the Under 18s, Under 16s, Under 15s, Under 13s, and a smattering in the Under 11s and Under 8s, so any children who are interested are encouraged to sign up.

It's the start of a brand new year once again and I am still not able to find time to enroll myself in a college. Like mentioned previously, I already know that my only hope of gaining a higher education is through online education. Elearning is nothing new to my family as my Uncle has an elearning institute where he arranges classes online for his students who are all working adults.
I was introduced to Capella University, an accredited university that has offline and online campuses and was established in 1993. I was told that I would be able to enroll in whatever course I am interested in because they do have many courses, from certification courses to undergraduate to post graduate studies. I could even study masters in psychology if I wanted to, provided I qualify, of course!
I know I have to be proactive and do something about it if I want to improve myself. I don't want to procrastinate any longer!

New book coming soon!
The Spiritual Significance of Brit Milah, Circumcision and the Sexual Relationship Between Men & Women
– Rabbi Stan Levy, Congregation B'nai Horin, Children of Freedom, Los Angeles, California, USA
Want to know when it's available for order?
Be the first to know!
"This courageous, forthright yet sensitive work refreshingly illumines the profound spiritual significance of the Jewish practice of circumcision and its practical influence on all aspects of our characters and behavior, and particularly upon the marital relationship and the building of our homes, our families and our people. Rabbi Gevirtz's imaginative and insightful use of a wide array of teachings by the outstanding masters of Torah spirituality of all the ages will inspire Jewish couples facing the circumcision of a newborn baby and set to rest any anxieties they may experience. It will also provide a powerful and very timely antidote to the rampant moral confusion in the surrounding culture and the growing clamor of hostile voices raised in challenge against this fundamental pillar of Jewish purity and survival."
– Rabbi Avraham Greenbaum, Azamra Institute, Jerusalem, Israel
"Rabbi Elihu Gevirtz has produced a new, learned, deeply searching and creative approach to the ancient rite of Brit Milah. In this time when new Jewish parents are questioning even this most fundamental Jewish precept, Rabbi Gevirtz offers an approach that is grounded in tradition and also attuned to modern concerns and sensibilities."
– Rabbi Stephen E. Cohen, Congregation Bnai Brith, Santa Barbara, California, USA
"I have looked through Rabbi Gevirtz's book, and seen that it is GOOD. It presents a difficult subject in a very open and helping way. May its message reach many people, especially young people, but all people struggling with sexuality and its place in the spiritual life. I bless the author that the message of this holy book be spread far and wide, and that people understand the great gift it presents."
– Rabbi Avraham Sutton, Jerusalem, Israel
"Rabbi Elihu Gevirtz has done a terrific job with this inspiring compilation of wisdom on the topic of brit milah. This book illustrates the intersection of ethics and kabbalah, bringing us a new elucidated understanding of this mitzvah, and the deep meaning laden within this Divine command."
– Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz, Uri L'Tzedek: Orthodox Social Justice, Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Department stores have underperformed in the last few quarters, making the 2017 holiday season that much more important in the brick-and-mortar realm with eCommerce on the rise worldwide. J. C. Penney Company, Inc.'s (NYSE: JCP) FRISK® score recently slid to the lowest rating of "1," which ranks significantly below the broader department and discount store industry:
This High Risk Report will address key weaknesses related to J. C. Penney, in addition to unique aspects of the CreditRiskMonitor service. For instance, J. C. Penney's trailing 12-month net profit margin and debt-to-equity are both in the bottom quartile of its industry's peer group.
About High Risk Reports
Our High Risk Reports feature companies that are exhibiting a significantly high level of financial distress, as indicated by our proprietary FRISK® score.
The reports highlight the factors that have pushed a company's score lower on the "1" (worst) to "10" (best) FRISK® score, which is 96% accurate in predicting bankruptcy over a 12-month period. The High Risk Reports also includes analysis on financial indicators such as the company's DBT index, stock performance, financial ratios and how it is performing relative to its industry peers.
The ultimate goal of the High Risk Report series is two-part: provide an early warning for those doing business with an increasingly distressed company and inform of the many signals that should be examined when assessing financial risks.

The Mountains Next Door
The Rincon Mountains east of Tucson are a small and seemingly undistinguished range; rounded and arid, they are more a site for foothill walks than serious exploring. Yet these unassuming mountains disclose many wonders and curiosities upon close inspection, as Janice Emily Bowers discovered while conducting a botanical study there. Over the course of two years she made 38 excursions into the Rinconssome for two or three days at a timeand garnered not only plant specimens but thoughts along the way.
The Mountains Next Door is the first book to describe and celebrate the natural history of these mountains that even longtime Arizonans may often take for granted. "I watched the seasons march through the canyons," writes Bowers, "followed the wildflower parade from February through November, and throughout it all realized that I could travel in the Rincon Mountains forever and never learn all they contained." It is also a book of meditations, as Bowers reflects upon the meaning of nature, the similarities between the scientific and creative processes, the value of wilderness in the face of urban encroachment, and other ideas. Participating in the long tradition of reflective natural history writing, she has produced a memorable book that depicts the delights and dilemmas of field botany as it explores the perennial struggle between science and mysticism that tugs at every naturalist's heart.

No matter if you have traditional pane windows or awning windows, there are all sorts of factors to consider when choosing curtains for a room. Choosing the right window treatments can make or break the look and feel of a space.
But with so many options to consider, it can be hard to pick the right curtains for your home. Here are things to consider to narrow down the options so that you select the best window treatments to accentuate any space in your home.
Privacy & Lighting
If curtains are your only window treatment, it's important to consider the amount of privacy and lighting you want for a the space. If you're looking for window treatment for a living room, formal dining room, or sunroom, you'll want to stick with lighter options like sheer curtains. This allows more light to enter the room. Lighter curtains are also ideal for smaller spaces, as the more natural let that's let in, the bigger the room looks and feels.
For added privacy or to darken a room, choose a heavier fabric like velvet. Heavy fabrics let in less light and add much more privacy to a room. This window treatment material is great for bedrooms or a room that needs to be dark, such as a theater.
The privacy and light aspects that you expect from the window treatments will definitely drive the fabric that you choose. Heavy fabrics like velvet and silk are not only great for privacy and darkness, they're also great for making a statement. Heavy fabrics can add a flashy sense of drama to a space.
For a more subtle and causal feeling in a room, a lighter fabric is the better option. Linen and sheer fabrics are able to diffuse light and can blend into a room's existing decor. If you want your window treatments to pop without drawing out natural light, choose a colored light fabric that adds just enough color without going overboard.
You'll also want to consider sheen. Curtains with a high amount of sheen will add a new layer of depth to the space.
Prints & Patterns
Prints and patterns are a great way to add a unique focal point to a room. However, prints and patterns shouldn't be used if you already have patterned furniture, bedding, or floor coverings. Too many prints in one space can make the room feel really overwhelming and disjointed. For rooms with existing patterned furniture, it's best to stick with solid curtains to avoid sensory overload.
Otherwise, if the rest of your room uses nothing but solid colors, introducing window treatments with a print or pattern is a great way to bring some excitement and life into the room. If you want to start with a subtle look, choose a neutral print or pattern like paisley or dots. This adds just enough to the room without going over the top.
For a statement piece, choose a large graphic print with plenty of color. This will take the look and feel of the room to a whole new level.
The most contemporary length for curtains is floor-length. Curtains that are too short can look very out of place. When choosing the appropriate length for your curtains, you'll want to choose between a length that just hits the floor, or one that has a little overflow.
For a classic and tailored look, go with curtains that just barely hit the floor. This measurement makes it much easier to open and close the curtains as they'll fall perfectly each time.
If you want a super stylish look, choose curtains that break slightly at the floor. This means the curtains will extend onto the floor by a few inches. The pooling creates a dramatic look that's ideal for formal rooms. The one drawback to longer curtain lengths is that they need to be adjusted when vacuuming or opening and closing them.
Consider Accessories
It goes without saying that the curtains you choose will need to be hung on a curtain rod. The type of rod and the hanging method you choose can play a role in the window treatments that you pick for the room. At the same time, you'll also want to consider other accessories like tiebacks and tassels. Be sure that the curtain you choose not only work in the space but also work with any accessories.
Choosing the right curtains for a room in your home isn't a decision to take lightly. While you may have browsed inspiration online, it's best to think about your own space needs before making a decision. Be sure to consider all of these factors to choose the best window treatments for any room in your home.

With no weapon found, rescuers were cautious at Oak Bay murder scene: firefighter
Six-year-old Chloe and four-year-old Aubrey were found dead in Berry's 1400 Beach Drive apartment on Christmas Day 2017. (File photo)
Warning: This story contains graphic details.
An Oak Bay firefighter took the stand in the double-murder trial of Andrew Berry on Thursday, testifying to rescuers' concerns about the whereabouts of the weapon allegedly used in the attack.
Berry is accused of killing his daughters, six-year-old Chloe and four-year-old Aubrey, whose bodies were found in Berry's 1400 Beach Drive apartment on Christmas Day 2017.
Berry faces two second-degree murder charges. He has pleaded not guilty to both.
Firefighter Cody Brown was one of the first rescuers to enter Berry's apartment that night. He testified to tending to Berry, who was found naked and gravely injured in his bathtub.
Brown corroborated much of the testimony of fellow firefighter Bradley Trenholm, who was the acting lieutenant riding with Brown to the scene that night.
Both firefighters testified to attending the medical assistance call for "traumatic lacerations" just before 6 p.m. on Dec. 25, 2017.
Brown testified that while heading to the scene Trenholm received a call alerting the crew that there were two dead people and one viable patient at the scene.
Upon entering Berry's unit, Brown testified to seeing an "atypical" amount of blood on the floor and walls, more than he would have expected for a lacerations call, he said.
Brown said he was directed to the unit's bathroom and told to avoid the bedrooms where there were two bodies.
Brown said he joined Trenholm at the side of the bathtub and was told the patient was not alert but had communicated with the senior firefighter. Brown said he was also told that Berry had caused the injuries to himself.
He then testified to squeezing Berry's knee while he was in the tub and asking him his name.
Brown said Berry then told him, "Leave me, kill me" – he recalled hearing that multiple times – to which Brown replied, "I can't do that. I'm here to help," he said.
Berry's defence lawyer has challenged prior testimony that his client could have made similar statements that night, citing the seriousness of the laceration to Berry's throat at the time.
Brown has not yet been cross-examined.
Brown told the court that aside from blood, the water in the bathtub also contained debris, notably Barbie dolls.
The firefighter testified that before removing Berry from the tub, he overheard police saying that no weapon had been found at the scene yet. He said rescuers took this caution to heart, given the nature of Berry's wounds and the relative darkness and chaos of the scene.
The trial resumes with more testimony expected from Brown at 2 p.m. Thursday.

WODCLUB OPEN WOD #2In two minutes do reps of for total pounds moved:
You choose the weight and multiply it by total reps for total score.
1 deadlift
1 clean
1 front squat
1 push press
(back rack)
1 back squat
1 back rack press.
Each round is 6 reps, score is total reps multiplied by the weight(including bar) in pounds.Its a modified bear complex, but all movements can flow:
- Start by filming your weights
- Deadlift must return to ground. This may be different than a traditional bear complex. Watch the movement standards video.
- Power clean can join to squat clean, which can join to press (essentially this becomes a clean to thruster)
- Back squat can join to back rack press.
- We will be judging that you hit the bottoms of the squats and the tops of the presses.
- Please watch the Movement Standards video
- There are 6 reps per round. You can complete any number of the movements within a round. So yes, if you fail on the back press and run out of time thats 5 reps counted that last round.
- If you fail you can re-set via the starting position for that movement and do that movement again. So in the case of the back rack press, if you fail and still have time, you may reset on the back rack and try to back press again.
Warm up: 3x 5 Push ups 5 V-ups 5 Arch rocks
Skill work: Handstand practice
Workout Strength Couplet – Take no more than 20 minutes to complete.Perform 3 handstand push ups then 3 Straight body lifts for 5 rounds 5X3 Handstand push up (use box scale if unable to do free standing) 5X3 Straight body lift

Unity in Christ
Fast forward and one year later we are going back to the heat of Alabama but this time with an adult team. The trip was great and God used them in many ways. Everybody was included on this trip, BRAND new Christians that were still really trying to figure out the whole God thing to lifetime churchgoers.
There was one person in particular that really encouraged me. She had been saved for just a few months and took it upon herself to find a church to start attending. She was an adult with no real religious background but she said she got to the point where she knew there had to be something more in life (that's Jesus drawing her to him but that is an entirely different blog post). She accepted Christ and has since started her own ministry working with the homeless (all in the past 5 months). Wait, what?? She can't do that! She barely knows about Christ herself! She has never been to seminary! She isn't equipped to run a ministry sharing the gospel and Christ's love with others! – Really? She's not? I'll just be honest with you; she taught me more in her attitude and love for the Bible that week than I have ever learned from a sermon. How is it that someone who has known Christ for less than 6 months has a grasp on the deep relationship that she does? –It is all about Christ. She'll tell you right now that it is nothing she has done, she has a past but God is now using that for His glory! She doesn't need to regret or be ashamed of the things that she has been involved in in the past, you want to know why? "Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus, because the Spirit's law of life has set you free from the law of sin and death!" Rom. 8:1-2
We are now slaves to Christ and in HIM we find life, no longer are we subject to the law of sin and death!
Here is my favorite part, that church that I worked with. It's not the same denomination I was taught and grew up in (let me put in a quick bit here, their fundamental core beliefs are the same, I do not think it is right to work or encourage the work of those that don't teach Christ as the Gospel (2 John 9,10) but that is certainly not the issue here) yep, we actually had true unity and spirit as we worked and served Christ. They allowed me the privilege to lead their devotions. I, a Baptist, worked with them, Methodists, to serve Jesus and be his hands and feet. Yeah, we may come to different conclusions on certain (non-Gospel) topics of the scripture, but here is a tidbit of information. Christ was neither!
I was encouraged as we were brought to unity under Christ and served him. New believers, youth pastors, people struggling with addiction and difficulties, and missionaries all came together and presented the body of Christ to those who needed it most.
I am convinced that if we could quit bickering and work together with those who truly bring Christ Gospel, we can reach the world! Jesus teaches us in Luke 9:49/50 a very important lesson. "John responded, Master, we saw someone driving demons out in your name, and we tried to stop him because he does not follow us. DON'T stop him, Jesus told him, because whoever is not against you is for you!"
Let's get over ourselves and our self-righteousness and work with those who are "not against us" to share Christ with the world!
(Sorry, for those of you expecting another awesome post by my wife, you were undoubtedly let down by this one but thank you for reading what was on my heart! : )

I totally agree! I was on this trip too, and I attend a different church of another denomination. This group really welcomed me in and taught me a lot. It was awesome to see the unity as we all had one purpose in mind: to spread Christ's love through service. And that is how they will know we are His disciples, by our love :)ReplyDelete
Thanks again for your leadership and everything you showed us about living for Jesus. You truly inspired me to want to serve Him more in every area of my life. All it takes is a willing heart. I will continue to pray for you and your family as you take the next steps in obedience to God's will! :)
It's always good to hear from you! Please feel free to leave an encouraging word or constructive criticism. Both are welcome.

On September 10, 2011, I could not sleep. Not too long before a young singer named Aaliyah died in a horrific plane crash. As I was watching mourners line the streets on the day of her funeral, I looked at a co-worker and said, "I don't know why but I feel as though this is a pre-cursor. Something is about to change and I feel it." She thought I was going to win on another lottery ticket. I had won $500 twice, a month and a half apart. That night, as I said, neither my son Brian nor myself could sleep at all. We started feeling apprehensive and praying. I don't pray much but I felt that I had to that night. When I felt a release in my spirit then was I able to lie down and sleep.
I was doing my student teaching at the time. I was at a junior high school, on what I thought would be a typical morning. I had my materials laid out and was excited to see how the students worked together well. Just as I entered the room all was silent and the TV was on. Mrs. Broadrick, my mentor teacher, had informed me that the World Trade Center had been attacked. Since the administration deemed this a historical event, the TV's would remain on inside the classrooms.
I was watching when the 2nd plane hit on a playback. I sat down and whispered "We're going to war. This was no accident." At first some thought it was. The children were all upset. They couldn't think about anything but what they realized was an enormous amount of destruction . They thought of other children who had lost parents, grandparents, siblings and/or other relatives–as well as thinking that children their own age also parished. In 16 minutes, those kids gained a sense of their own mortality that some adults have not even yet grasped.
Then there was one boy in particular that I will call "Rocky". His parents were on a trip and he begged us all to try to call Dulles airport to see what flight his parents were on. He began to cry and throw a fit. I got him to calm down and had them try to call his older brother. When his brother came to the school, he sat down with Rocky and told him, "Rocky they were not at Dulles airport, they left from Dallas! I talked to them and they said they are fine and to let you know not to worry." That calmed him down and he went back to class, but then he began thinking…He drew a picture of what he'd seen in his classroom. Eventually these would become part of his own scrapbook. He quickly told us how he felt sad for the kids whose parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, etc…would never come home.
Kids were drawing pictures for two weeks. Even when trying to get on task, it was difficult for them to stay there. As the days passed, they began writing letters and making cards for children they had never met. No one has ever forgotten that day that lived through it–and no one who remembers it will ever forget it. It is as engrained in our memories just as the memories of the attack on Pearl Harbor are engrained in the minds of another generation.
As the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden has begun to sink in, people have expressed every emotion imaginable–from grief for those lost because of the acts of this evil man–to fear for what may come at the hands of his underlings. I don't feel that there is any real closure as long as there are people who will follow such doctrines as al-Qaeda. There will never be peace as long as those of this mentality are allowed to exert power over populations who fear them–and as long as they continue to murder and mutilate those who do not agree with them. A population that is subjugated by fear and intimidation is never free. Our forefathers knew that freedom came with a price. That is one thing we must never forget.
Just as the battle cry at the Battle of San Jacinto was "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!" after the slaughters Santa Anna was responsible for, we must adopt a new battle cry as a nation. This is far from over. We knew this from the beginning. In order to remain free, we must keep fighting until the last Al Qaeda and Taliban operatives are subdued, and the dictatorial leaders who support them put in their places once and for all. Above all, we must not allow our own anxiety over things that haven't happened to cripple us as a nation. We shouldn't have to be looking over our shoulders. In this country, we should keep our eyes facing forward, never letting ourselves lose grip on the wheel for a second. When we do, that is when the "what ifs" start to creep in.
I have accepted that in order to keep what we have as a nation, we must fight off those who seek to destroy us. There are those who simply want fighting to stop, even if it means we end up losing more than a simple pissing contest between political parties. They live in their own world, where anyone who takes up arms in the military is an enemy to whatever it is they believe in and (God Forbid!) they keep arms to protect their own families and homes. I may not own a gun, but it is imperative that those who are law-abiding be able to do so.
Our policemen our terribly outnumbered by street gangs and (soon) terrorists. Our nation must remain vigilant and we must stop teaching its children lies about being a "good world citizen" because in the event that the fantasy of a one world system becomes a reality, who will be running it? Iran? China? Some dictator with penis envy? Think about it. Nobody will convince me that one day the whole world will live in peace with open borders, and a world religion (much to the atheist's dismay) will be suited to all. As long as civilization has a tendency toward greed and lust for power, there will never be any such damned thing as "one world united". It won't happen! Somebody that is high up in power will always want to be in charge of it all, and there will always be people scheming in the wings to overthrow it–which will happen. Alexander the Great tried to set up such crap before and his empire still fell.
Chew on that for a while. In such a system, one group would have to be subjugated for the benefit of others. That is a disaster waiting to happen. It breeds resentment and discontent. Eventually, it leads to overthrow–and has repeated itself in history many, many times…

Star Ace Toys Ramping Up Their Harry Potter Action Figure Releases
Posted by MOVIE FIGURES
Star Ace Toys have been producing 1/6 scale Harry Potter figures for some time now. Their first came out in Q3, 2014 and was of course Harry Potter himself. The figure was based on a young Harry in the movie Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone which we know in the UK as the Philosopher's Stone.
The lead image of this post is of the upcoming Albus Dumbledore Deluxe action figure which is due in May 2016. Its product code is SA0025 which marks the company's 24th release. 24? Yes, SA0013 was never allocated. We guess Star Ace is superstitious or maybe they are keeping that number for some special villain! Churning out that number of products in that space of time is impressive for such a new company.
Character Range
Characters so far covered include Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Sirius Black, Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody and Lord Voldemort. In upcoming months, Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Hermione Granger and Droco Malfoy are being released.
Star Ace are producing characters based on their looks in various movies. The main characters were just 11 to 13 in the first movie and by part 2 of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows', they were in their early twenties. The issue for collectors here may be do you want to focus on one movie so characters match looks or do you want to show the evolving characters over time?
For example, compare Harry from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone:
In the above he's not even 12 when that was filmed.
Where he was 16. Quite a difference huh?
Like the books, your favourite film from the series will likely depend on whether you prefer the more innocent early times of young Harry or the darker times in the later stories.
The currently announced offerings from Star Ace show characters from every movie name which is great. However, aside from Harry, most characters are currently only modelled from their look in one movie. So for the likes of Ron, Hermione and Dumbledore, your only choice is from the first movie.
Aside from Dumbledore, Star Ace's upcoming release line up looks impressive. Of particular note:
Star Ace Hermione Granger Action Figure
Due for release in January 2016, this is Star Ace's first crack at a figure with natural looking hair. The promotional pictures look good. They've managed to capture Hermione's rather bushy looking hair from the first movie.
Star Ace Harry and Draco Quidditch Action Figures
Star Ace's first 2 pack is on the horizon for May 2015. It looks a great release, putting Harry vs his famous rival Draco Malfoy in a game of Quidditch. The uniforms looks superbly detailed with some great looking accessories.

The Big 12 is increasingly an "outside-in" conference. The ball gets out of the quarterback's hands quickly and the focal point rapidly shifts from the trenches, where games are normally determined, out to 1-on-1 matchups between skill athletes isolated in space.
The trenches still matter, especially if you can deny the quick throws and reads on defense and force offenses to do dirty work up front. The better you are up front the more margin you can create on the back end but the priorities for each are shifting, at least in some contests around the league. If you aren't good enough on the DL to get pressure within three seconds then you can't be bad at DB.

While we were out walking the expo at the Dirty Kanza we stopped by the Orange Seal booth to chat with their pro racer Payson McElveen who was making his debut at the notorious Dirty Kanza.
Payson is a professional mountain bike racer and we talked about the possibilities of flats and punctures during Dirty Kanza which this race/ride is notorious for.

The data sent between the instances is safely encrypted with a secure key and cannot be read by anyone, unless they know the encryption key. The key is generated during the configuring of the add-on on the remote instance. The key is kind of a password for computers, the same way you use a password to authenticate your user with concrete5, the machines use the encryption key to share data that is only meant for their "eyes".
The encryption key can be compromised only when you generate it on the remote instance if you don't use secure HTTPS connection. It is highly recommended to have the remote machine behind a secured HTTPS-connection. If you do not use HTTPS, and log into the admin panel, any data (not only data exchanged with Mainio Sync) from there can be compromised through a man in the middle attack. The same way, the encryption key could be compromised when you paste it into the exporting end's settings. Therefore, we generally suggest to synchronize data from local instances where you are not sending the data to the public internet when working on them. For example, if you are working on the sites through the "localhost" domain, your data is never sent through the public internet and therefore the encryption key also remains safe.
You can get free HTTPS certificates from Let's Encrypt. Please ask your hosting provider for more information on how to set them up. In case you have your own VPS or dedicated server, you can also contact us for setting it up for you for an additional fee.
In case you want to add an additional layer of security to your instance, you can also use the HTTP authentication option that you are able to define for the synchronization targets. Generally this option is meant for situations where the target instance is behind HTTP authentication for other reasons (e.g. a company intranet service) but you are also able to set this layer up only for the synchronization endpoints.
First, you need to login to your remote server through SSH. Browse into your concrete5 instace's public root folder and generate the HTTP credentials file for storing the login information:
$ cd /home/youruser/public_html $ htpasswd -c .htpasswd httpuser
You need to have a couple of packages installed on machine for the "htpasswd" command to be available. Installing those packages goes beyond this guide, please use Google for that.
The command will ask you the password for the new user that you later use to access the API endpoint.
After this, modify the .htaccess of your instance as follows:
# This is your .htaccess file SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/(index.php/)?ccm/mainio_sync/api require_auth=true # Or in case concrete5 has been installed in relative path: #SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/rel_path/(index.php/)?ccm/mainio_sync/api require_auth=true # Setup authentication AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Access" AuthUserFile /home/youruser/public_html/.htpasswd # Setup a deny/allow Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Satisfy any Require valid-user Allow from env=!require_auth
Make sure to modify the paths in the code samples according to your environment. It would be also recommended not to store the ".htpasswd" file in your publicly accessible webroot folder if possible. For more security, that file should also only be accessible by the user that is responsible for handling the HTTP requests.
This example only authorizes the API endpoints while the rest of the site will remain accessible without providing HTTP credentials. In case you are using this method, please refer back to this documentation every time you update the add-on because we might change the endpoint addresses with the package updates.
After this, you should see an authorization error if you try to synchronize content with this instance without providing the HTTP authentication credentials.
Please continue to read other parts of the documentation:

Shopping for children's merchandise is very fun. The products are colorful, whimsical and interesting. They can bring a smile to your kid's face while also serving a practical purpose.
Flammable children's sleepwear recalls
One of the best ways to ensure children's products are safe is to regularly check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's Recall List. This federal agency reports details about products that have known defects, what the specific hazards are for each product and how the company will correct the problem.
Breaking down a Boulder man's $6.5 million verdict
Have you ever wondered how car crashes can result in multi-million-dollar awards? Car repairs and medical bills rarely reach those figures, but those aren't the only considerations. There are other factors involved, as well.
Brake failure a frequent cause of commercial truck crashes
As someone who travels Colorado's roadways with regularity, you have probably spotted those runaway truck ramps along the sides of some highways that are supposed to give truck drivers a place to go in the event that their brakes fail. These truck ramps should undergo use by truckers only as a last resort, however, and today's truck drivers should typically know that they may need to rely on more than just brakes in order to navigate downhill trips safely.
Manufacturer knew baby powder contained cancer-causing substance
Many have long suspected that a link exists between baby powder and cancer, with thousands of women coming forward over the years to assert that they developed cancer after prolonged use of the product. Now, a recent investigation has revealed that the manufacturer of the talc powder in question not only knew about its risks and neglected to inform its consumers, but also had knowledge of them for quite some time.
3 situations an attorney can help you in
Self-reliance is one of the best qualities a person can have. When you are able and willing to advocate for yourself, you are likely to be safer and more secure in most situations. There are a number of instances, though, where it is necessary to rely on the expertise of a professional. You hire professional plumbers when you need their services, and similarly, you should hire a lawyer when you need legal help.

I just got this awesome pocket disc and it is so much fun!! This is a great take on a traditional frisbee. You get a hand-made crocheted circular disc that is made of beautiful yarns. The design we got was so intricate and interesting. You can use these like a traditional frisbee and throw it back and forth to each other, we have four dogs so we use ours with our dogs all the time, they love it. My favorite feature is that it's made of yarn so it's soft and flexible and easy to handle and use. You don't have to worry about it hurting the dogs when they catch it with their teeth because it's not hard plastic it's a soft flexible material that they can easily chew, bend, etc. My six year old loves playing with this because it's easy to catch and throw. It's a great twist an a traditional item.
Here is some additional information from the company:
The Pocket Disc is the most versatile disc on earth. All cotton and very packable, its the ultimate travel toy – people love playing anwhere from music festivals to indoors with their kids on a rainy day. Dogs love 'em too b/c they won't chip their teeth or cut their gums. As a play toy (not left out to chew), the Pocket Disc will last for years for fido.
The unusual origins of the owner's daughter's school project evolving into a Fair Trade flying piece of art hand crocheted by Mayan villagers in Guatemala is a touching story. Six years later and over 1 million discs sold, we now help support over 500 artisans. We have installed water filtration systems in their villages and the work is enabling the children to stay in school longer, enhancing their education.
But most of all the Pocket Disc is fun. They come in a wide range of beautiful ethnic patterns as well as team color combos and have a wide range of peculiar and practical uses (see website) and games. While simple, the Pocket Disc inspires creative play and a divesity of games spring forth from the end users minds.
We also offer a nice array of support items including 4 styles of Pocket Discs, kicksacks (aka hacky sacks), pet collars, headbands, and more.
You can find out more and purchase on their Website!
I received this item complimentary or at a reduced price for my honest review. However, I only recommend products I truly love and use to my readers. #AmazonReview

PDFs can however sometimes prevent keyword-scanning software on job boards or applicant-tracking systems from picking up information that allows you to be found. Like a resume, a curriculum vitae CV provides a summary of one's experience and skills. CDs vary depending on one's field and experience, but there are a number of general format and style guidelines one can follow when creating a CV. Thanks! Content determines the length of the CV. You'll manage your career with easy-to-use on-line tools Use Vitae's FREE dossier service to manage the documents of your life's work. Curriculum resources: The resources that schools provide to teachers can also have a significant affect on curriculum. Career history – briefly list your present and previous employers and your employment dates. Help you to identify weaknesses in your skill sets that you may want to address. For example, teachers may review their mathematics program to ensure that what students are actually being taught in every Algebra I course offered in the school not only reflects expected learning standards for that subject area and grade level, but that it also prepares students for Algebra II and geometry.
What Does It Mean To Get A Second Interview
A down economy is never a good time to look for a new job. There are many things to remember and it's hard to compete with so many others. Use the advice here to assist you in getting to the head of the pack.
When you are job hunting, dress for success, no matter the job. Your appearance and attire say a lot about who you are as an individual. You need not overdo it all the time, but dress properly even when you are merely dropping off applications and resumes.
Tweak your strategy for job searching if you are not having any success. Just because lots of places aren't hiring doesn't mean you should give up. Explore all the opportunities that surround you, and consider taking any that you can afford.
Being well-prepared is of utmost importance when seeking employment. A resume that contains current information is required. Update your old cover letter, and include any new developments with your experience. A completed list of different activities, positions and accomplishments is a must-have. You should provide references for previous jobs and outline all educational opportunities you have taken.
Your cover letter needs to mention your qualifications that relates to the ad for a job. Speak about your leadership qualities if they want a leader. Carefully inspect the job posting for any clues that you can include in the cover letter of your resume that will help you stand out of the crowd.
You can use a certain type of form that helps you fill out applications much easier. You'll find yourself having to supply dates and information that may not be fresh in your mind. It is good practice to write everything down and keep the information handy. Finishing applications will be easier and faster too.
Go to lots of career fairs if you are job hunting. Such fairs can provide useful information about possible career paths. An added bonus of attending job fairs is the ability to meet and network with other professionals. These acquaintances might just help you to find a job.
If you don't already have one, get a professional sounding email address. The first impression your potential employer has of you is through your resume and contact information. Try to get a simple email address that includes your name in some form. When someone sees a silly email address, they might ignore the email entirely.
As stated in the introduction, finding a good job in a bad economy is very difficult. Not only is it hard to get through to employers these days, you may also feel like people are scrutinizing you. Make use of the given advice to stand out from all the other applicants.

5th Academic Player of the Year Award
December 23, 2014 – Jesup, GA – The Bone and Joint Institute of South Georgia attended In the Game magazine's Annual Southeast Georgia High School Football Awards Banquet as the sponsor of The Academic Player of the Year Award for the 5th consecutive year. The banquet, held at the newly renovated Waycross City Auditorium on December 15th, featured keynote speaker Brian Jordan, former All Star outfielder for the Atlanta Braves.

Combined 2 photos… one of the sunset and the tree to make this comp image. I used Studio _Simplify and Glow with some PS adjustment layers.
Tropical Sunset
It is better than just great… So exciting.
Outstanding work
Love it!! The water looks great!
Wonderful light
Well done, great composition … great thought
Wow factor! Great composition!
Many thanks to @Bluemoon5, @Ricci, @Kathy_9, @Mond, @AiDon and @Michigander for your thoughts and comments and to those who gave it a Like… much appreciated!
Great composition! I guess the masking was quite challenging
Planned and executed well!
Thanks for the comment @Laundromat… for masking of the tree I used Channels masking. I always like to experiment with my masking options and techniques and found using a Channels mask worked pretty quickly and did a decent job.
Thanks Terry for your encouraging comment.
Excellent work… composite images are always fun to do…
Thanks @Gravymac for viewing and your comment… composite images are fun and my favorite kind of image's to make.
I love this composite! I wouldn't have guessed that 2 photos had been used. My first thought before reading your description was what a great job you did in positioning the camera to photograph the sunset from behind the tree. I love the post-processing, too. It has a great illustrated look.
That is an amazing image. Brilliant composition.
Thanks @Topacres and @Michigander for both of your very encouraging comments, they are very kind and deeply appreciated.

Can't Get the Hang of Meditation? Try This Instead
I'm sure you don't need convincing that chronic stress is bad for your brain, and that if you are stressed out you need to relax. But that's easier said than done!
One of the most widely heralded stress reduction techniques is mindfulness meditation. But many people find it difficult, if not impossible, to quiet their mind.
It's not unusual for people to feel frustrated and disillusioned with their meditation practice. Then meditation becomes an additional source of stress!
There are some excellent reasons to pursue meditation, even when it seems to be the problem and not the answer. And there are other ways to achieve the same benefits if you can't get the hang of traditional meditation.
Stress Destroys Brain Cells
When a situation you perceive as stressful occurs, it initiates a launch of biochemicals such as adrenalin and cortisol.
Too much stress over prolonged periods actually changes the structure and function of the brain. Cortisol kills brain cells in the hippocampus, the seat of the memory. It literally excites your brain cells to death.
Stress conversely causes the amygdala, your fear center, to grow, causing you to become more fearful and anxious.
Research suggests that chronic stress stimulates the growth of certain proteins that might even be the cause of Alzheimer's.
Benefits of Meditation for Stress Reduction
There are many lifestyle changes you can make to reduce stress, but meditation keeps popping up as one of the best. Over 1,000 studies have been published showing the health benefits of this relaxation technique.
Meditation has become a mainstream relaxation technique which has been reported on favorably by prestigious medical institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, National Institutes of Health, and Harvard's Women's Health Watch.
It helps your brain by reducing stress, but meditation does a lot more too.
Meditation has been shown to improve learning and memory by increasing the communication between the right side and left side of the brain. It also puts your brain in a desirable brainwave state. Meditation enhances the brain's ability to regenerate new brain cells and new neural connections. One of the most exciting findings is that mindfulness can even slow down the rate of cellular aging!
Problems with Mindfulness Meditation
Mindfulness is one of the most common types of meditation.
It involves sitting quietly while trying to keep your mind focused on the present. This can be done by concentrating on your breath or by repeating a mantra.
Some of the most common complaints about traditional meditation include feelings of impatience, frustration, boredom, and not getting the desired results. It understandably leaves many people questioning whether they are wasting their time. Imagine how hard meditation can be when trying to fit it into a sensory-bombarding, multitasking Western life!
Sound Meditation Can Help
The sound of waves at the beach, the crackle of an open fire, or listening to relaxing music causes your brainwaves to synchronize with that sound's frequency and puts you in a relaxed state.
I've used sound technology in addition to traditional meditation for years. I find meditation to be hit or miss. Some days I feel like I've nailed it but many days I feel like my thoughts were a runaway train and I don't know what, if anything, I got out of it.
The sounds soothe my mind and dissipate the constant urge to think. I find I don't even "think about thinking." I come out of each experience feeling like I've been on a mini-vacation. I never feel the frustration, impatience, or boredom I experience with meditation the old-fashioned way.
Everyone is different, so the only way you'll know what either traditional meditation or sound meditation can do for you is to give them a try.

DESPITE the presence of Institutes of Technology in Carlow and Waterford, the South East is lagging behind the rest of the country when it comes to people with third-level qualifications.
A new report published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) indicates that this is hurting employment prospects in the region. It reveals a direct connection between high unemployment rates and the proportion of the population with third-level qualifications.
The Educational Attainment Thematic Report survey shows early school leavers are up to three times more likely to be unemployed than those who have educational certificates.
The recently published CSO figures reveal unemployment rates in the South East region currently stand at 7.2%, the highest of any region in the country.
The Educational Attainment Thematic Report report revealed that just 37% of people living in the region have third-level qualifications. This is in contrast to Dublin, where unemployment is as low as 4.2% and 57% of the people living in the region have third-level qualifications.
The South East ranks lower than the North West and Borders in both unemployment rates and third-level qualifications. Only the Midlands is on a par with the South East for people with third-level qualifications, and still, their unemployment rates are marginally lower.
Nationally, the latest CSO figures reveal that 25% of early school leavers are unemployed compared to 8% of people with either secondary or third level qualifications in the 18-24 age group.
Nearly half of all adults aged between 25-64 years (47%) now possess a third level qualification. The CSO stastistics show that just 5% have no formal education.

Intelligent robots require advanced vision capabilities to perceive and interact with
the real physical world. While computer vision has made great strides in recent
years, its predominant paradigm still focuses on analyzing image pixels to infer two
dimensional outputs (e.g. 2D bounding boxes, or labeled 2D pixels.), which remain
far from sufficient for real-world robotics applications.
This dissertation presents the use of amodal 3D scene representations that enable
intelligent systems to not only recognize what is seen (e.g. Am I looking at a chair?),
but also predict contextual information about the complete 3D scene beyond visible
surfaces (e.g. What could be behind the table? Where should I look to find an exit?).
More specifically, it presents a line of work that demonstrates the power of these
representations: First it shows how 3D amodal scene representation can be used to
improve the performance of a traditional tasks such as object detection. We present
SlidingShapes and DeepSlidingShapes for the task of amodal 3D object detection,
where the system is designed to fully exploit the advantage of 3D information provided
by depth images. Second, we introduce the task of semantic scene completion and
our approach SSCNet, whose goal is to produce a complete 3D voxel representation of
volumetric occupancy and semantic labels for a scene from a single-view depth map
observation. Third, we introduce the task of semantic-structure view extrapolation
and our approach Im2Pano3D, which aims to predict the 3D structure and semantic
labels for a full 360◦panoramic view of an indoor scene when given only a partial
observation. Finally, we present two large-scale datasets (SUN RGB-D and SUNCG)
that enable the research on data-driven 3D scene understanding.
This dissertation demonstrates that leveraging a complete 3D scene representations
not only significantly improves algorithm's performance for traditional computer
vision tasks, but also paves the way for new scene understanding tasks that have previously
been considered ill-posed given only 2D representations
