Man tells Missouri cops his son is man in video carjacking vehicle
A Missouri man told cops that the man seen in a video carjacking a minivan Wednesday was his son, Fox4 KC reports.
Independence police said they arrested Sean Clark, 25, on a robbery charge after his father told a detective "he was positive his son was the defendant in the video on the news," the station reported Friday.
Local media aired the surveillance video which was shot at a QuikTrip. It shows a man jumping into a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica belonging to Maggie Tatum as she was putting air in the tires.
The carjacker is seen backing up the car and knocking Tatum to the ground and then running over her foot.
Police found the car a few hours later. Tatum, 32, was not seriously hurt.
The station reported that in court papers, Clark's father told the detective that his son had discussed stealing cars with friends on Facebook and that he had kicked his son out of the house two hours before the carjackig because his son was messed up.
Prosecutors requested $50,000 bond in the case.

The other week we registered Addilyn for kindergarten. I can't believe she will start real school next year. I know she will do just great but I feel all sorts of emotions about it and am a little nervous!
Last weekend we had my niece's birthday party and she wanted everyone to dress up in a costume. I may have jokingly mentioned my wedding dress and then Annie asked me to wear it, so I did. I haven't taken it out of the dress bag in almost 13 years! Crazy to think the last time I wore it I was practically a child and now look at our family. Batman and monkey are the best addition!
Chris and I are going on an actual trip without kids next weekend! I can't even believe it. I am both super excited and a little nervous to leave the kids for four days. Give me some good book recommendations? I have lots of non-fiction books I'm reading and that are on my list, but I'd like to bring a fiction book with, so give me some of your good ones!

NixOS is a Linux distribution that has a different take on
package and system management. Instead of installing and configuring packages
manually the system is declared in a
/etc/nixos/configuration.nix file. The interesting part is that the file and all it's dependencies are calculated using checksums and stored in a content-addressable store. From this stems a number of benefits like the possiblity to switch back to older generations.
On my current server I am using ansible to setup the machine but the drawback with these configuration management tools (chef, puppet, …) is that they only describe what needs to be installed and there is a whole grey area where things are undefined. Removing a package is not simply to remove the package dependency declaration but it needs to be explicitly listed as being removed. Unlike NixOS. Enthropy being what it is I am looking forward to having my whole machine managed by a declarative file.
Vultr (affiliated link) is a VPS host that provides SSD machines in many locations. There exist a lot of competition out there but they do a couple of things right. The most important being that it's possible to install machines with a custom ISO. NixOS is not available on competitors like DigitalOcean and while it's possible to swap roots the whole operation is always a bit brittle. Vultr also provides other niceties like IPv6, private networks and a VNC management console. Finally I could also deploy on EC2 (which NixOS provides images for) but the price is a bit too high for my personal use. $16.0/month for 2 CPU, 2GB or RAM and 45GB of SSD sits just right for me. Linode is also a nice and maybe more well-known alternative.
Anyways, these are the reasons. Plus I am also curious and like to try out new things.
Uploading the ISO
After creating a Vultr account, first we have to upload the NixOS ISO.
- Go to https://my.vultr.com/iso/
- Paste the https://nixos.org/releases/nixos/latest-iso-minimal-x86_64-linux aurl
- Click upload
- wait
Vultr also supports iPXE. It would be nice to use that to automate all of the next instruction but I haven't looked into it yet.
Creating the machine
- Go to https://my.vultr.com/deploy/
- Operating system: Custom
- My ISOs: the minimal NixOS ISO
- Fill in all the other things that you want
- "Place Order"
- wait (~60 seconds)
The machine is booted on the ISO but now needs to be setup.
Getting SSH access
Next we want to get SSH access to the machine. Since we don't have access let's use the management console to add the SSH keys.
- Go to https://my.vultr.com/index.php
- Click on "Manage" -> "View Console". This gives a VNC window.
The simplest way to setup SSH is to fetch the SSH public keys from GitHub if you have an account. I made a little script that automates these steps over here.
curl -L http://git.io/vOGOo | user=<your_github_user> sh in the VNC
management console. Now you should be able the SSH into the machine using
Working around the MTU issue
The next step is trying to contact https://cache.nixos.org/nix-cache-info and it was blocking. Something in-between is breaking the MTU Path Discovery (diagnostic). I filed an issue with Vultr but I don't think it's their fault, it's just that most machines are accessing the web trough an encapsulate protocol like PPPoE and therefore have a MTU lower than 15000. If you're seeing the next steps hang on that URL the workaroud is to lower the eth0 MTU by running:
ifconfig eth0 mtu 1400
This step also needs to be repeated after installation to get access to the NixOS pre-built packages and channel updates.
Installing the system
Now that we have SSH access to the machine let's follow the instructions given by the NixOS manual.
fdisk /dev/vda
mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/vda1
mount -L nixos /mnt
nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
Then edit the
/mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix with vim or nano. Make sure
to set the
boot.loader.grub.device to
/dev/vda and
services.openssh.enable to
true. The rest is up to you. You can also
come back to it later after installation.
Finally run
nixos-install and
The "Getting SSH access" step might have to be repeated but otherwise the system should be good to go. There is a whole new world to explore and I hope to cover some more of it in next installments once I have replaced my current server with it.

As I frequently start work at 7am (horrible, I know…), I have learnt to appreciate possibly the most quietest time of day. My usual 15-minute bus journey takes half the time, I get my favourite seat on the bus and a crisp, fresh copy of The Metro to read.
What I love most about the mornings is watching the sunrise. There is something so serene and beautiful about watching the sky change from the darkest inky blue of night to seeing all the beautiful purples, pinks, and finally the rays of yellow.
Who knew mornings could be so magical?
Perhaps the most amazing prospect of being up so early is the premise of another day to fulfil.
Who knows who you could meet, what might or might not happen?

Gus Johnson squeals as Giannis Antetokounmpo jumps over defender
The Greek Freak jumps OVER Hardaway Jr!! pic.twitter.com/auLCHgf79v— Milwaukee Bucks (@Bucks) February 7, 2018
With the NBA trade deadline less than two days away, all eyes are on the latest breaking news and reports on potential deals being made.
For a brief moment Tuesday night, however, the attention turned to Madison Square Garden.
In the third quarter of a contest between the Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks, Bucks wing Khris Middleton picked up a steal.
Seeing the "Greek Freak" Giannis Antetokounmpo coming out of the corner of his eye, Middleton slows his approach to the rim to set up the alley-oop pass.
Antetokounmpo, who moves like a guard but is nearly seven feet tall with a ridiculous wingspan, is known for making plays that defy what we are normally used to seeing.
On the pass, though, he topped anything we've seen in the past. He soared up for the alley-oop finish, and in the process, completely jumped over New York's Tim Hardaway Jr.
It's worth mentioning that Hardaway is 6-foot-6.
While Antetokounmpo's feat is remarkable, Gus Johnson's reaction on the call might be better, as he can't help but simply squeal at seeing what the 23-year-old MVP candidate pulled off in real time.
Everyone took to Twitter for their reactions, claiming to have never seen a specific instance of that play.

HOLYOKE — Gary Rome left City Hall Tuesday (May 12) smiling about support.
A few feet away, Gayle Keith said the city keeps disappointing residents like her.
The City Council Ordinance Committee voted 4-0 to recommend that the full City Council on May 19 approve a zone change Rome needs to build a $10 million Gary Rome Hyundai dealership on Whiting Farms Road.
"I'm very pleased with the support we've received from the city," Rome said, in the hallway outside City Council Chambers.
If the City Council agrees to change the zoning designation of the nearly-19-acre site to Business Highway from the current Business General, which prohibits an auto dealership, the next step will be to seek site-plan-review approval from the Planning Board, he said.
"My hope is to get a shovel in the ground before the summer," Rome said.
Rome's plan, backed by Mayor Alex B. Morse, the Greater Holyoke Chamber of Commerce and numerous others, would produce 50 new full-time and some part-time jobs along with thousands of dollars a year to the city in property taxes, he said.
The Holyoke Gas and Electric Department (HGE) owns the vacant property and has a deal to sell it to Rome for $2,050,000 contingent on approval of the zone change.
Currently at 1000 Main St. here, Gary Rome Hyundai will stay open there regardless of whether he is able to build the new dealership, Rome said.
The Ordinance Committee also voted 3-1 to recommend against adopting a competing zone change filed by residents like Keith who had eyed the same property on Whiting Farms Road as Rome but for a residential and light-business use.
The zoning designation they sought was called RM-20. That stands for Multi-Family Residence at 20 units per acre. The uses are generally housing with limited commercial uses like bed and breakfast, funeral home, hospital and nursing home.
Residents have said building an auto dealership on the property across from Autumn and Lynch drives would diminish the neighborhood's quality of life. Placing a multivehicle outlet on what is now a meadow was unnecessary when other viable but less intrusive uses were possible, they said.
But it's more than that, said Keith, of Farnum Drive, after the vote. Councilors and other officials are addressing only the needs of a businessman, Rome, who has attended hearings with his lawyer, architect and other consultants, rather than people who live in the neighborhood and worked on their zone-change petition themselves, she said.
"They don't care about us," Keith said.
"All that has to happen is Mr. Rome has to blow through there with his lawyer and his architect and his 100 employees who show up to support him. Let's just say it: We don't care about citizens," she said.
Ordinance Committee Chairwoman Rebecca Lisi said later that was untrue. Lisi's was the no vote on the committee's decision regarding whether to adopt the Planning Board's recommendation against the residents' zone-change.
"I recognized the year-long commitment of resident neighbors in working to understand what uses would be a good fit for that site," Lisi said.
But, she said, her reading of the results of a survey that the city did last year of what use neighbors and others want for the site was that the "only robust finding" was that neighbors were concerned with design features that would be permitted on the site.
She is filing orders related to dimensions and designs in the Business Highway zone to guard against a "big box" development on the site, she said.
In the survey, which drew 361 paper and online results, open space-recreation scored the highest intensity of responses for what people desired for the site. That was followed by mixed-retail use, retail plaza, office space,auto dealer, a tie between industrial and single-unit residential and multi-unit residential.
The Whiting Farms Road site has been the subject of battles in recent years. Walmart and Lowe's Home Improvement both considered building big stores on the property to the consternation of residents like Keith. Walmart backed away in 2013 and Lowe's in 2009.

NEW YORK — The cold weather proved a boon for television celebrations of the New Year.
More than 25 million people tuned in to see Ryan Seacrest ring in 2018 from a frigid Times Square. The Nielsen company said that was the biggest audience for ABC's "New Year's Rockin' Eve since at least 1991. CNN and Fox also set standards for their coverage that night.
The cold likely cut both ways: with most of the country in a deep freeze, fewer people than usual ventured out to celebrate and those who stayed in wanted to see how outdoor partiers were dealing with the weather. The temperature in Times Square dipped into the low teens as the ball dropped.

The notion of "Customer Lifetime Value" (CLTV) is a concept and calculation that helps organizations determine the dollar value associated with their long-term relationship of any customer, determining just how much that customer relationship is worth. Used by marketing managers, MBA's and executives, CLTV is a prediction of the net profit associated with the entire relationship with a customer. While the calculations can be a bit arcane, the idea of customer lifetime value is an important one because it encourages firms to shift their focus from customer acquisition to the long-term health of their customer relationships.
More and more CMO's are retooling their efforts to more ardently optimize customer lifetime value, and that means keeping customers engaged and compelling them to purchase again and again. But it can be an uphill battle. According to Ernst & Young, the world's third largest professional advisory firm, just 25% of US consumers consider brand loyalty as something that impacts their buying behavior. Research from Nielsen, the global marketing research firm, found that 78% of consumers are not loyal to any particular brand.
Customer Expectations
It is becoming more and more important for businesses to communicate with their customers in a more personal and effective ways in order to build brand loyalty and customer lifetime value. Engaging existing customers with relevant messaging and meaningful content is not only what customers expect, it's what they demand. And while organizations often invest in advanced technology to automate and improve brand and marketing initiatives, these investments often fall short; not because of a lack of functionality, but instead because of the lack of a strategic approach to customer lifetime value.
Customer-Facing Communications
Customer-facing communications are on the front line of how companies retain customers and build relationships. It is ironic that companies invest heavily in marketing campaigns and sales strategies designed to acquire a new customer, while at the same time often doing very little to extend the lifetime of that customer once they are enrolled. We help companies do this by improving existing customer communication points that are often transactional or operational in nature — outbound correspondence associated with onboarding, enrollment, renewals, and statements. These and other customer-facing communications are rarely considered key marketing assets, but they should be. One recent study by research firm InfoTrends found that transactional documents are opened and read by 90% of recipients. What other form of marketing communication can claim that kind of customer-open rate?
Companies Building Customer Value
Companies of all sizes and types find value by reevaluating and reworking their existing communication processes with a different view of customer-facing communications and how they influence customer lifetime value. This benefit can be found by adopting a cloud-centric approach to branding, engagement and customer experience management that involves every aspect of a marketing communication strategy.

This article is part of gb&d's Green Typologies series In the Workplace.
There's an old joke that goes like this: How many Virginians does it take to change a light bulb? The answer is four: one to screw in the bulb and three to stand around talking about how good the old one was. So it's appropriate that, when seeking a Charlottesville, Virginia, base to bring together about 450 area employees, the CFA Institute decided to make its home inside the earliest surviving building on the former Martha Jefferson Hospital campus.
Moving into a Hospital
Martha Jefferson Hospital was founded in 1903 by a group of seven physicians. They built their hospital on East High Street, forging a relationship with the surrounding residential community that would continue as the hospital flourished and grew. The Patterson Building on Locust Street was built in 1929 to serve as Martha Jefferson's new headquarters, and the hospital eventually expanded to about eight acres and nearly 300,000 square feet. Until a few years ago, the hospital's day shift alone brought around 850 employees to the neighborhood, plus an estimated 1,000 visitors and patients a day.
The hospital recently relocated to a brand new facility east of Charlottesville, and it was announced that a new tenant would be moving into the old Patterson Building. CFA Institute, a nonprofit professional organization for the investment industry, would occupy Patterson's 28,000 square feet and a larger 116,000-square-foot 1970s-era wing on the south side of the campus.
Keeping History Alive
The Patterson Building is a historic landmark three times over. It's situated in the Martha Jefferson Historic District and protected by state and federal landmark designations. The structure is a sturdy, no-nonsense building with common-bond brick, a double chimney, and an asphalt shingle roof.
Guy Williams, head of finance and risk management at CFA Institute, says that the board of governors for CFA Institute was in favor of the adaptive reuse and the positive impact it would have on the community. "It was an extremely pleasant experience, from my perspective, to present to the board all of the various alternatives and have them overwhelmingly support this," Williams says. The project, however, was not without its challenges.
The contractor, Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, says the challenges consisted of what you'd find with any historic building—the surprises you just can't account for until you start digging in. Many floors had non-adhering fireproofing, some retaining walls weren't up to standard, floors were found to be uneven. But on the plus side, projects like these allow an opportunity for the careful, satisfying work of reclamation. Original terrazzo and hardwood flooring, finishes, nine-foot ceilings, and plasterwork on the walls were revealed and repaired, and original single-pane windows were sent just 50 miles away for refurbishing and setting back into spaces they had occupied for nearly a century.
More freedom could be exercised with the non-landmark South Wing, which was skinned and gutted to adapt to a more efficient, natural light-friendly office layout. For comparison, one of the former office spaces used by CFA Institute—it was leasing four in the area for its employees before this—was built in 1999, but the South Wing still has 40 percent more natural light flowing in through new transom windows, glass-rimmed cubicles, and glass walls for interior offices.
Adapting for the Future
Not only did CFA Institute face the challenges associated with adapting a historic space, but it also did it in accordance with LEED Gold certification standards. Some of the major green initiatives involve the mitigation of water, sewer, and power in-house. "On top of the fact that we'll be using less water than the hospital required, we're putting in a greywater reuse system," Williams says. By diverting sink and shower water and the condensation off of the HVAC system for lavatory flushing, the system curbs the organization's intake of public water by 70 percent while reducing sewage discharge by 30 percent. Solar panels, located on the roof and invisible from the ground to comply with regulations against interfering with the historic façade, will allow the office to run on 22 percent less energy than a building of similar program and size, and solar hot-water tubes will further reduce energy load and carbon emissions.
The end result? It's impossible to list just one payoff. Williams and the rest of CFA Institute are thrilled to be the new neighbor on the block who preserves, rather than disrupts, the fabric of the surrounding historic community. The residents, the sound of ambulance sirens fading from their minds, have welcomed these quiet, 8-to-5 commuters with open arms. Construction and use of the building put far less strain on the environment than a new building without green technologies, and state and federal subsidies and tax credits for green building and historic preservation made the project cost effective. Use of the municipal water and sewer system plummets, and Virginians get to enjoy this good old space for many more years to come.

JK Rowling revealed `Harry Potter` spoiler to Alan `Snape` Rickman
Melbourne, Jan. 19 (ANI): JK Rowling revealed the 'Harry Potter' spoiler to the late Alan Rickman long before she told her fans.
The 50-year-old author, who was one of many celebrities to pay tribute to Rickman, admitted that she revealed some information to him that was vital to the way he portrayed Professor Snape in the film series, reports News.com.au.
Even the 69-year-old actor, who passed away after battling with cancer last week, said that Rowling had given him an idea about the fate of his character in order to help his portrayal make more sense, but refused to say what she told him.
Following his death, a fan tweeted to Rowling asking if she could finally reveal what she had told Alan all those years ago.
Replying to the tweet, the author wrote, "I told Alan what lies behind the word 'always'.
"Always" refers to a part in the final book, where readers discovered that Snape had always been in love with Harry Potter's mother, Lily Potter.
It was Rowling's method of telling Rickman that Snape, who was regularly seen as a villain by characters in the books, wasn't the bad guy other characters made him out to be. (ANI)

Robert Wood Johnson: County Health Rankings
Robert Wood Johnson: County Health Rankings
Each year, the Robert Wood Johnson foundation releases county health rankings to demonstrate geographic differences across a number of health indicators. Published online at countyhealthrankings.org, Robert Wood Johnson aggregates and analyzes 35 individual measures and provides county level rankings across six subdomains: Length of Life, Quality of Life, Health Behaviors, Clinical Care, Social & Economic Factors, and Physical Environment. After determining rankings on each of these subdomains, Robert Wood Johnson also provides rankings on two overarching domains: Health Factors and Health Outcomes.
This dashboard visualizes the county health rankings data in New York and is intended to provide an at-a-glance look at driving health factors and outcomes that could be used to inform healthcare policy. Of note, all data are provided at the county level and mask underlying variation that may exist at the ZIP code/census tract level.

The Opioid Epidemic: Data Trends
The Opioid Epidemic: Data Trends
In recent years, most states throughout the country have seen a significant increase in opioid-related health events. Unfortunately, this increase has led to major growth in opioid-related emergency room (ER) visits and deaths. As a result, the opioid epidemic has attracted the attention of policy makers at local, state, and national levels.
The opioid epidemic is multi-faceted and the cause of the growing opioid problem cannot be isolated to a single driving factor. This storyboard outlines a number of different data points/resources to help provide context to the opioid epidemic in the US and New York and advance dialogue on what can be done to help. The data trends include:
- drug-induced death rates nationally;
- drug overdoses leading to hospital admissions in New York State; and
- ER visits related to opioid drugs;

Hey loves!
You might have noticed that I've been blogging a lot about highlighters lately. I might be doing a lot of "strobing" but I still do my contour. I have a big face that needs a little help slimming down. Haha! The one I'm using lately is...
This is actually my sister's, but she gave it to me. I use contouring and bronzing more than she does.
It's PhP 925.00 at Beauty Bar.
So let's get to know the product first.
Below is the back of the product. You can see the ingredients list and the manufacturing details.
Here's the product description from the website:
Finally, a Caribbean getaway in a compact! This matte bronzer creates the look of beautifully tanned skin without any orange undertones for a fresh-off-the-beach glow. Bahama Mama also doubles as the perfect contour powder, neutral brow-filler and matte brown eyeshadow. Yes, this tropical beauty keeps busy!
I love the package design. It's like an illustration from the early 1900s! It's fun and sexy at the same time. I like how slim it is and that it has a mirror too. What I do not like is how easy it is to look dirty. It can easily be cleaned with cotton and makeup remover.
Just as the description stated, it doesn't have that orange or brick red undertone and it has a matte finish, which makes it a great contour powder. Yeah it says it's for bronzing but I don't like to go all bronzed with my makeup usually.
See that swatch? It's flat matte. And it's not powdery!
Check out how it works on my face:
Left: no product
Right: with product
My face looked like there's added depth and it slimmed down a bit. It works pretty well with my color too. It's better as contour with this shade because I find the brown too grayish brown for my color.
Lasting power is pretty decent. It can fade after 4 to 5 hours depending on how oily my skin gets.
So what do you think of The Balm's Bahama Mama Bronzer?

Many seniors who are too sick or frail to live in their homes often think that the nursing homes are their only option either as their permanent residence or as a temporary facility during their recovery. However, many seniors who need nursing care would rather receive it in their own home while enjoying a familiar environment with their family and friends. Good thing there are community services and health care professionals who can provide him the home nursing care he needs. These professionals can come right to a senior's home in Barnegat Light to deliver responsible care.
Home care generally refers to health care or support provided in the patient's home, but this term is usually applied to non-medical care or custodian care provided by persons who are not licensed medical personnel. Family and friends, who are referred to as caregivers, primary caregiver or voluntary caregiver in this context, can also provide home care in Barnegat Light. Mostly, however, services are provided by agencies or independent providers.

Perks of Being A Home Health Care Nurse
The aging Baby Boomer generation offers a lot of career opportunities in terms of the elderly care it needs. In 2008, around 7.6 million individuals received adult daycare services to treat long-term health conditions, terminal illness, acute illness or permanent disability, according to the data released by the National Association for Home Care and Hospice. However, to start the rewarding career of an adult daycare provider, you need to obtain an in home care license. The type of license you need depends upon the type of agency you want to start, i.e., whether you want to work on your own or want to employ nursing staff for your agency.
In Home Care License: How to Obtain it
Here are the steps you need to follow to obtain an in home care license:
Once you get the in home care license, be prepared for annual total operation evaluations and surveys by the Department of Health and Human Services.
It must be noted that the department may require you to undergo training before issuing you an in-home care license. For this, you may need to complete a course at a local training center. However, the best way is to contact a reputed and trusted consultant, such as HomeHealthStartup. At homehealthstartup, you can get detailed manuals along with compact discs of the training material to start your home care business. A consultant will guide you through the steps to get the required license.
Home Care Overview
When choosing an elderly care facility, it is important to know the difference between a nursing home and a senior citizens' residence. Barbados nursing homes usually provide short or long term nursing care in private or semi-private rooms, including, meals, activities, and personal care. Barbados nursing homes must have a registered nurse on duty at all times. Barbados Senior citizen residences provide short or long term nursing care (assisted living) in private or semi-private rooms, including, meals, activities, and personal care but do not require a registered nurse at all times. However, a registered nurse must be on call when required at a senior citizens' residence. The differences between a nursing home and a senior citizens' residence do not necessarily define the quality of care but basically helps you to identify the level of care you or your family member may require.
Choosing either a senior citizen residence or a nursing home may be stressful for you and your loved ones. It is helpful to plan ahead and understand the level of care that may be required. You should visit and compare a range of nursing care facilities or have someone visit and compare them for you. Make good financial plans early. Planning ahead gives you and your family more control and can help ensure that your short or long-term care needs are met. Both Barbados nursing homes and Barbados Senior citizen residences provides care for the elderly who can no longer care for themselves at home due to physical or other health related issues.
Steps to choosing a Barbados nursing home or senior citizens' residence that meet your needs:
1. Find out about the various services provided by the facility.
2. Find out how facility compare in quality.
3. Visit the facility you are interested in, or have one of their registered nurses visit your family member for an assessment.
4. Choose the facility that best meets the need of your family member and you.
5. Ask other people you know who have a friend or family member in the facility you are evaluating, if they are or were satisfied with the quality of care they received at the senior citizens' residence or nursing home.
Current Licenses and insurances (property and liability)
Although a current License from the Barbados Ministry of Health may not reflect the true nature of the care facility, ask to see it. By law the institution should operate with current License issued by the Ministry of Health, as well as property and liability insurances. If you receive excuses about why it is not available you may want to reconsider.
Quality of Life
Does the staff treat residents in a respectful way? Are there a variety of social, recreational, religious, or cultural activities? Do the residents have choices about their schedule and living space? Do the residents have privacy for visits or personal care?
Quality of Care
Is there enough staff to ensure that residents are getting the care they need? Can residents still see their personal doctors? Can you visit as often as you wish? Having visitors can make the transition to the senior citizens' residence or nursing home easier for you and your family member.
Preventive Care: Does the nursing home make sure that residents get preventive care to help keep them healthy?
Your informed choice will help you or your loved one in making an agreeable change from living at home to living in a senior citizens' residence or a nursing home. You can be your loved ones' advocate by observing their potential care and living conditions and discussing them with your family or family member.
Remember, there is more to choosing a senior citizens' residence or nursing home that just the price. It is the quality of care that counts.

We have all had our share of vacation hook-ups (I have had my fair share at least), the good, the bad, and the ugly. This is a story of all three wrapped into one.
I decided to spend a month in Puerto Vallarta, the gay beach side capital of Mexico. I was arrived the second week of May 2007, and stayed until the second week of June. I rented a two bedroom/ two bath condo for the month on the cheap. It was slightly off the beaten path, but i knew it was in the heart of "gay Vallarta". I spent the first few days alone, just getting re familiarized with the city.
I had been to Puerto Vallarta several times before with my mother, who wanted me to suggest a vaction place for us after her boss started giving her two free tickets anywhere for a Christmas gift. What a better place than PV, for the culture, shopping, restaurants, and beach that she loves, and the gay boys I love. She loves gay boys too, me being her only child.
This time it was gay boys only for the entire month (except one hag....which turned out to be ok). I booked the boys into the condo. Two groups, one left on the day the others arrived. Anyway, this is a tale of two tricks...back to the story.
I met the first trick within the first week. David & JPat had just arrived a day before, and I took them to the hottest new club in the city, Club Manaña. I was completely wasted when I returned from the bathroom, and David told me a boy was asking about me in horrible English. Long story short, we met, and he went home with me.
Over the next couple of weeks, he leached onto me, and I grew tired of it. We hung out, got to know each other. I could never pronounce his name. Sex was marginal, at best.
A couple weeks later under the watch of second group of friends, and a potent hit of ecstasy, I met another, more to my taste Mexican man, Francisco. It was at the same Club Manaña. I was in love for the night. My previous trick was doing drag in another club for the night. Yes, I fucked a drag queen.
Francisco and I dropped more X together that night,and danced until dawn. Later, we went back to his modest apartment, and had that sex you can only have while on the X.
Next day - he wanted to go drinking, early. we had barely slept, and were both giddy from the sex and drugs. We went to the "gay beach" where I had spent my previous 25 days with Wencesiao (first trick). Wences was there, and the drama ensued. Only, I did not care. I felt like I was breaking the heart of someone that had never loved before, but I felt proud about it.
Wences would never approach until Francisco went to the store. When Wences finally did approach the DJ on the beach was playing the most appropriate song, Niño.
Niño es hora de partir
La vida me invito
Hacia otro lugar,
Sin ti Ves,
Tambien me duele
Es, lo mejor
Dejame irme,
Dejame partir
I broke Wencesiao's heart, Francisco broke mine. Karma may be a bitch, I may have met her.

You were proud of your flawless, beautiful skin when, one fine day, you noticed dark spots. Shocker! Well, these are aging spots. Official name- hyper-pigmentation. These spots are caused by sun exposure. Although they are harmless signs of aging, certain spots might signify skin cancer. So, before you start slathering on a cream, please get your skin examined by a doctor.
Dark spots make your skin appear older. They give a tint of dullness to your face. But don't get disheartened since there are lots of skin care creams that can take care of these pigmented spots.
Certain top brands in the market today are offering excellent creams laced with just the right ingredients to target hyper-pigmentation. You must take care not to expose your skin directly to the sun while using these creams. The good thing about such formulations is that they come with in-built sunscreen. So, you need not slather on another layer of a separate sunscreen lotion.
Simple ways like wearing a hat that shadows your face or avoiding going out between 10 am and 4 pm when the sun is at its peak goes a long way in saving your skin from sun damage. You win half the battle against aging spots by protecting your skin from sun exposure. The rest your cream will do.

The easiest solution is to write some notes in the Title of the field, like "Suggested size - 100x200", but usability of such solution is still not enough good, in some cases it can be unclear - where is width or height, etc.
So, I've created really simple (as always) module, that reads field title and displays placeholder when Image field contains no value. It does not affect front-end or actual field value, it will disappear as soon as you choose real image. Placeholder size is parsed from the field Title using RegEx.
Here are some examples (background / font color can be easily customized)
Module uses the following settings -
ImagePlaceholder.ServiceUrl (http://www.placehold.it/{0}/{1}/{2})
Determines the URL of the service, as well as placeholders for dimensions.
ImagePlaceholder.Pattern ((\d+)x(\d+))
RegEx that will be used to parse the Title
Background color
Font color
You can grab the module here: http://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/ImagePlaceholder.aspx , it installs in just a few seconds, contains 1 item, .config include file, and DLL. When item is installed - please choose "Merge" option.
Enjoy, and feel free to share your feedback, request more features, etc.

The Irish Rovers are actually a Canadian Band. Go figure. I know them mostly from their 1968 hit, "The Unicorn" (a Shel Silverstein tune). The Rovers have been touring the world ever since.
In 2005, they released a record titled, "Another Round" (not a Christmas record). It did contain a Tommy Sands song titled, "Down Around The Bushes of Jerusalem" about the birth and life of Jesus.
They also performed it on their 2012 PBS Christmas Special, An Irish Rovers Christmas.

The first time I saw a flowering tea in action, I knew I was in love. Think of a clear teapot with a bloom happening right in front of your eyes. Then think of enjoying the delicate and delightful flavors of the tea.

These delicious teas first appear to be just a small nut-sized ugly ball. Literally! Put place one or several in the bottom of a glass teapot, add boiling water and watch the magic happen. These ugly little balls actually bloom into a beautiful display for your guests.
Flowering Tea Samplers
Serving tea to your guests can often mean offering choices for what flavor or variety they may want. Tea samplers are the perfect way to do that. Well, flowering teas are also available as samplers.

Then kick off your party with a delightful blooming centerpiece. Your guests will remember your tea party for a long time to come.

Homemade French Fries,my way
Stephanie L.
Homemade french fries are a guilty pleasure I allow my self every once in a while. This is not really a recipe,it's my method for making seasoned FF.Instead of frying twice,I cook them slightly then fry until crisp. Taste the seasoning mix,it should be slightly salty and spicy,that makes good fries! I often make garlic fries by adding minced fresh garlic and finely grated Parmesan cheese on the hot fries.DELICIOUS!!
You can also cook these in a deep fryer.I usually pan fry them.
You can also cook these in a deep fryer.I usually pan fry them.
·russet potatoes
·peanut oil
·1 tablespoon kosher salt
·1/2 t.black pepper
·1/2 t.garlic powder
·1/4 t.cayenne
How to Make Homemade French Fries,my way
- Peel and rinse the potatoes. Cut them into sticks by cutting the potato in 4 or 5 vertical pieces, and then cutting each piece into sticks.
Place them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak, 2-3 hours.
Mix seasonings together in a small bowl.Set aside.
When you're ready to make the fries, drain the water,place potatoes and enough cold water to cover,microwave 10 mins.or cook on stove for about 10 mins.just until potatoes are barely tender. Carefully drain water,lay the potatoes on 2 baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot with paper towels and dry them well.
Heat a few inches of oil until it reaches 400 degrees F. When the oil's hot, fry potatoes in batches again, cooking until the fries are golden and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper bag.Sprinkle with seasoning.

Sometimes I wish I had kept my blog anonymous.
A lot of my readers (most of them, I'm sure, since but few of the people I know actually put in the effort to read my blog) don't know me personally, which means that it would be all right for me to have rant every now and then or voice my opinion about a certain fact without it having a back-lashing effect on me… Because, if the possibility arises that possibly, maybe, perhaps, not-too-sure-but-it-could-happen-that, probably someone I refer to in a blog post, or someone who could relate to a certain topic where I don't necessarily refer to anyone (yet the inference is there), that person will obviously take offense.
Keep your friends close, and your 'enemies' closer, right?
I don't want to be the enemy.
So yes, there are many days where I wish I could just speak my mind. I'd like to be able to say why that person whose mouth I was afraid I would have to duct-tape at my wedding is no longer in the picture (glad this person is no longer a factor, though, 'good riddance'), what I think about getting engaged at a very young age (here some people might be ready to bite my head off), how I don't understand how people can treat a member of their own family like an aside when someone else is in the picture – the list goes on and on.
It would be so much easier to say what's on my mind and to blog about things that I know other people can relate to and appreciate without stepping on any toes. Having to 'censor' and edit your own notions so that it is deemed fitting 'just in case' is utterly sucky.
What's the title of that one Fall Out Boy song? "Champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends."
Yip, I could definitely do with some of that…
…but I guess I'll just have to sit brooding in my own little corner until the feeling passes (and believe me, I think that's going to take a lot of stamina). Chances are all the thoughts will just be logged into a memory file and put away until something occurs to extract it from my memory banks.
Keeping quiet isn't always all bad, though. Because, in the immortal words of a different Fall Out Boy song (my favourite on their third album): "the truth hurts worse than anything I could bring myself to do to you"…

|Could global warming be unstoppable and natural?
|Écrit par WED Fan
Sure to be miscategorized as global warming denial, this letter is not drawing a lot of press attention because it is an inconvenient proof that the so-called consensus is not a consensus at all. Further it draws out a point that I have been making, that trying to stop the unstoppable is a waste of resources that would better be used to work on things like feeding the hungry, curing the sick, helping the poor.
If the resources are used to help the poor and disadvantaged, then mankind will improve conditions and survivability through this natural occurance.
The following is a letter that scientists sent to the U.N. Emphasis added are mine.

The afternoon was another hot one. Manny cranked up the air conditioning in the diner a little and wiped the counter by the faux-antique register. Look at my life, he thought bitterly. My only daughter spends more time dreaming online than she does with real people, and me, do I set a better example? No. This diner has become the shell I crawled into to avoid dealing with the world. I'm not a man. I'm a hermit crab. But even a hermit crab outgrows its shell...if only to move into a bigger shell.
Maybe Darla's right. Maybe I should have moved on, found her a stepmother. What good am I doing her, clinging to the past like this? Maybe I should call Agnes Neuburg back after all. Wouldn't anyone be better for me and Darla than this enshrined hole in my life, this fading security blanket of a lost love?
He reached for the register's keyboard, but his hand refused to tap the key. Instead, it went back across his chest to touch his shirt pocket as his eyes closed again, remembering. Almost twenty years, but the memories would never fade...
...the cab ride from Ben Gurion International had not been a pleasant one. Little Darla had been fussy ever since the landing woke her. Liz had not slept well on the last leg of their flight to Israel, and Darla's tantrum wasn't helping matters. More tsuris than either of them needed at the moment. But there was no helping it.
"COOKIE!" Darla hollered. She was flailing her little hands, wrenching at the child car seat she was strapped into. Her curly black hair, too short to hang down, waved as her head twisted angrily, making her look like a furious dandelion. "Cookie, cookie COOKIE!"
Manny sighed and met his wife's eyes. "Do we have any left? We should be there soon."
Liz shook her head. "Just the Cheerios." She didn't say it, but he could guess what she was thinking: it was his fault for gobbling half of the box. He felt a twinge of guilt. I should have bought two boxes. Or at least something other than chocolate chip. Maybe then I could have resisted the temptation.
"Here, zeisele, have some Cheerios," he suggested, offering Darla the non-spill plastic bowl in its gimbals, such a clever invention. There was a handful of cereal left in it.
Darla struck the bowl out of his hands with one of her little pudgy fists. Blue eyes the exact shade of her mother's glared at him coldly. "Cookie," she demanded sternly.
This was all his fault, and he knew it. For a moment he wallowed in the guilt of it. Liz had wanted to take the postdoctoral Standford had offered. But no, he had to talk her into starting their family first. If he'd only given in, they'd be sitting on a beach in California now, sipping drinks with those little umbrellas while she corrected papers or played with mathematics. Instead, they were trapped in the back of a cab with an unruly descendant. And then he had made it worse by suggesting the trip to his birthplace while she was still on sabbatical. His fault, every bit of it.
Liz saw his guilty face and guessed the cause immediately with the almost telepathic rapport they shared after three years of marriage. "Don't go there, luv," she told him. "It's not like you put a gun to my head and got me pregnant. I had other plans, true. But I wouldn't trade her for all the degrees in the world."
Manny took her hand. "I'm sorry, heart of my heart. If it wasn't for me, you could have married an Einstein like yourself, instead of a dropout like me. Why didn't you?"
Liz surprised him with a smile. "It was your Toad-in-the-hole, dear. You know I never learned to cook. One bite, and I was lost to other men. None of the University boffins had a chance, once I tasted your cooking."
He cocked an eyebrow at her half-seriously. "I thought the way to a man's heart was through his stomach, not a woman's."
She squeezed his hand and grinned. "No, luv, for men the route is a little lower down."
He kissed her then, forgetting Darla for a moment. "So you're keeping me?"
"As long as you can hold a spatula, you're all the man I will ever need."
"Wanna COOKIE!" Darla bellowed, ending the moment. Manny kissed her too, and was about to say something when they heard the chorus of Rule, Brittania! jingling from Liz's windbreaker.
Liz pulled out her phone and glanced at the caller ID. "It's an old colleague of mine," she said in answer to Manny's look. "Won't be a minute."
She held the phone up to her ear. "Hello, Shlomo," she said. "How are you and Shayna? Technion treating you right?" She listened briefly. "You did what? No, I don't believe it. The energy requirements alone, would...I don't remember predicting that! You sure it was from my paper? Interesting, yes, but I don't quite see what...oh come on! They'd never fund it without more proof." Another pause. "Yes, I could, but I've just arrived here on vacation with my family, and I...maybe tomorrow. Best I can do. All right. See you then."
"Who was that?" said Manny, rummaging in the foot well for the plastic bowl. "And what's so important that he wants to show you on your vacation?" He offered the bowl to Darla again. She scowled but accepted it this time and grabbed some of the cereal.
"He was a visiting Fellow at Cambridge," she told him. "Particle physics boffin. He says he's followed up on one of my papers and found a way to induce highly energetic particle cascades without an accelerator."
"We'll be at the Sharon in a couple of minutes," he told her. Then, because he could tell she wanted to talk about it, he took the bait. "What's a particle cascade?"
"Imagine you're a tourist who wants a hot dog, but all you have is a hundred dollar bill," she said. "No debit cards in your wallet. What would you do?"
"That's easy," he said. "I'd find a store and buy something to break the bill."
"Exactly," she said. "When an particle with too much energy, say a cosmic ray, hits an atom in the upper atmosphere, some of the energy is converted into more particles, like breaking a hundred dollar bill into twenties. Some of them smack into other atoms and break it down even further, like breaking some of the twenties into tens and fives. You start with it all in one package, one energetic particle, and by the time it's finished you have a whole slew of particles. This one-turning-into-many domino effect is called a cascade."
"And this happens every day, you say?"
"Yes, all the time. With lower-energy particles, say from the Sun's solar wind, the Earth's magnetic field deflects them toward the poles, where they cause the aurora Borealis and so on. But cosmic rays are so energetic, they're harder to turn north or south. They drill right in and initiate cascades of particles, some of which reach the Earth's surface."
"Okay, but what has all this got to do with you?" he wanted to know.
"Accelerators have gotten exponentially more expensive in the last sixty years, as they made them bigger and bigger to reach higher energies. It's getting pretty hard to afford to build new ones. Fermilab was important for a while, but then CERN's setup eclipsed them. Shlomo says he found a hint in one of my papers and used it to generate cascades without a reactor or accelerator. If he's right...he could be in for a Nobel prize in Physics." She sat silently for a moment. "He wants me to partner with him on it, prove it out and get funding to explore the applications."
"My wife, the celebrity physicist," he smiled. But then his expression changed to one of alarm. "What kind of applications? Please tell me we're not looking at another Manhattan Project."
"Of course not. If he's right, the yield...would be incredible. No one needs a bomb that powerful. Even one would be too much. It would crack the Earth open like an egg! No, it could be more useful for energy production. Imagine the possibilities if it could be controlled! We could have nuclear power without using uranium. Reactors with no fear of meltdown...and no worries about people using them to make plutonium for bombs."
"You are scaring me," he told her. "Getting a Nobel would be a fine thing, yes. But if the Arabs even suspected such a technology was being developed, especially here, they might be scared into a preemptive strike, like when Israel bombed their reactor. Love, I am afraid I am hoping it all turns out to be a dead end."
"I think you're a little paranoid," she said. "Shlomo's keeping quiet, afraid someone else will get the Nobel before him. I'm the only one he's told so far. He's sending someone to pick me up tomorrow to go have a look at his results."
The cab was turning into the Sharon Hotel now. "We were going to ride down to Jerusalem tomorrow to see the Western Wall," Manny reminded her, unstrapping Darla from the child seat.
"I know, I know." She sighed. "I'm sorry, luv, but I have to check this out. Will you forgive me? Why don't you and Darla come to Haifa with me tomorrow? We can see the Wall the next day."
He just shook his head as he got out of the cab. "It's going to be hard enough for our little hellion to ride all the way to Jerusalem. Haifa is ever farther away, way up the coast to the North. You'll be gone all day, most likely."
Liz lifted Darla out of the seat and followed him into the hotel lobby. "You're right I guess. I'm sorry, I know this isn't what we planned for our first day in Israel. I'll make it up to you, I promise."
* * * * *
The next morning, Manny was feeling the jet lag. Liz seemed immune…or maybe it was just that she was excited about the science, as always. Manny groaned when she woke him up at eight. "Is it morning already?"
"I'm off,"she said. "Promise you won't hate me for abandoning you like this? I can't tell you how important this could be."
He tried to sit up, but settled for rolling on his side to face her. "Go ahead," he sighed. "We'll all go see the Wall tomorrow, or the day after. I'll keep Darla in Tel Aviv today, maybe see the beach or take in a movie. Like you said, the Wall will be there when we're ready to see it."
Liz bent over to kiss him, then straightened and headed for the door. As his eyes closed, Manny thought he saw her stop by the closet and slip something into his jacket. He wondered what it was, and then closed his eyes and fell back asleep.
* * * * *
He woke to the sound of Darla crying. Still groaning, he made himself get up and change her. He felt like collapsing again, but she was wide awake now. Liz had made a pot of coffee, which explained how she had managed such an early start. He downed two cups, ordered breakfast for the two of them, and felt nearly human by the time room service knocked on the door.
Darla seemed in better spirits after her juice and oatmeal, although he could see her peering around the room wondering where Mommy was. "It's just you and me today, kiddo," he told her, wiping oatmeal off her chin with a napkin. "What do you want to do?"
Intelligent blue eyes stared at him. "Cookie?" she suggested hopefully.
He laughed. "You are a persistent little devil, aren't you? Yes, we'll find you some cookies." But then what? He tried to remember what he had told her mother. Something about a movie. Involuntarily, he grimaced, imagining trying to make her sit still for two hours in a local theater. The room service cart had a local paper. He scanned the local listings but couldn't seem to find anything he could imagine both of them sitting through.
"Tell you what," he said. "Why don't we grab some cookies and juice for the ride and just go see the Wall anyway? It'll get us out in the fresh air, and we can always go see it again with Mommy tomorrow. You won't tell her, will you?"
"Cookie," Darla agreed.
What with one thing and another, it was past noon by the time they got there, and crowded. With a start Manny realized he wasn't sure what to do. His people were in two groups, the men and women separated from each other on the pink marble. What about men with daughters?
"I think we should keep our distance, today," he told Darla. "Tomorrow, with your mother you can go in that group, with the women, maybe." My God, he thought with dismay, have I been away so long that I've forgotten my own heritage?
He thought about Elizabeth, up the coast at Haifa by now. If her friend wasn't crazy, and wanted her to collaborate on the discovery, would they have to live here? It seemed likely. He wasn't sure how he felt about that. Would he find and fit in with the kibbutzniks he had grown up with? That was his past. His life was with Liz now.
Carrying Darla over the marble paving to an empty table, he set her down and tried to think. What am I doing here? Am I trying to prove I'm still Jewish? Part of him wished he'd stayed in London. Another part of him was angry, angry at him for leaving Israel, angry at him for dragging Liz back here with him, and angry at his wife for leaving him to spend his first day in his homeland alone with their child. And then came the shame, for feeling the anger. And then more anger, resentment for feeling guilty about his feelings.
I'm a mess, he thought. How can I be a decent father to this child, when I can't even decide who I am? Without planning it, he found his hands coming together on the tabletop to pray. God of my fathers, he prayed, should I move my family here? I'm feeling so lost today. Please give me a sign...any sign at all.
Suddenly it was very quiet. He had thought it quiet before, but while those nearest to the wall doing their rocking and praying had been silent, the people further back where he was had been making the same sounds as any well-behaved crowd. But that had stopped. Now he heard absolutely nothing. And then he heard a low moaning, as if the crowd were a single organism, a being in its own right, that was shocked and dismayed into silence by something terrible, like a boy who hears his parents fighting.
He opened his eyes and turned to see what their unbelieving eyes were looking at. And then it struck him too, and he heard his own throat making that same terrible sound.
A mushroom-shaped cloud was rising in the northwest. Over Tel Aviv.
Then a flash brighter than the sun, and another cloud, farther to the north. With a sinking feeling, even worse than before, he knew without asking that it was over Haifa.

Runco Expands its LightStyle Series, Offers High -Bright Solution for Any Application
Adding to its award -winning LightStyle Series, the LS -HB High -Bright projector provides the perfect solution for expanding the home theater beyond a dedicated room.
Beaverton, OR - January 19, 2011 - Runco®, the leading brand in luxury video solutions, is pleased to announce an addition to the company's LightStyle™ Series projectors, the LightStyle LS -HB. This high -bright projector brings Runco into a whole new category, as this new projector excels outside of the dedicated home theater, where environmental factors such as lighting are not easily controlled. The LS -HB's price point offers customers an affordable big screen video experience in virtually any room of the house.
Opening up new projector possibilities in the home, Runco's LightStyle LS -HB is a single -chip 1080p projector that has been designed specifically to address the issue of installing projection systems in living rooms, media rooms, and entertainment spaces in the home; spaces Runco calls "Flex -Theaters" where big screen entertainment is only a portion of the room's purpose. In Flex -Theaters, environmental factors such as sunlight and shadows can challenge even the highest -performance front projection systems. The LS -HB joins Runco's LightStyle 3 -chip DLP® solutions - the LS -10i, the LS -10d, and the LS -7 - to deliver acceptable video performance in these bright environments where clients wish to entertain or spend time with their families enjoying movies on BluRay® or DVD, watching television and cable programming or streaming video, browsing the internet, or utilizing computer applications to view their digital photography or home movies.
"With the LS -HB, we are able to provide our customers with a solution that they may have believed impossible: a vivid, big -screen entertainment experience in their living room," said Jennifer Davis, vice president of marketing for Runco. "The new LS -HB projector joins our stand -out line -up of LightStyle platforms to create real possibilities for front projection in spaces where the only solution previously available might have been a large flat panel television. By providing a solution for this new Flex -Theater space, Runco continues to pioneer home solutions, and redefines entertainment possibilities in the home."
Runco's LightStyle Series projectors are a testament to Runco's craftsmanship and video quality, and the addition of the LS -HB is no exception. The LS -HB boasts flawless 1080p full high -definition imagery, practical integration features that allow the projector to be controlled by the leading home automation systems, and a sophisticated industrial design that has won critical acclaim for its ability to complement any room's decor.
Runco's LightStyle Series combines state -of -the -art DLP -based SuperOnyx™ technology and delivers a very bright picture that measures 2,700 lumens in high -brightness mode. It incorporates the ISF™ (Imaging Science Foundation) calibration suite for optimal performance, including ISF Day and ISF Night presets, further enhancing the flexibility of installation and use. The LS -HB features Runco's legendary internal video processing for exceptional scaling and analog -to -digital signal conversion.
For enhanced customization and aesthetic appeal, the LS -HB can be customized with Runco's FinishPalette™ design options. The LS -HB is available in a popular matte white finish to camouflage ceiling installations. Beyond white, Runco's FinishPalette enables full -color, large -format projector design options, including sports logos, a gallery of artist impressions and the option to custom print client -supplied artwork.
The LS -HB projectors are available with Runco's new CineGlide™ lens solution that enables a motorized, mechanical 2.35:1 anamorphic lens to move in front of the standard lens for perfect CinemaScope reproduction. Runco CineGlide enables the viewer to switch from 16:9 content to 2.35:1 content, without black bars on the top or side of the image, with the touch of a button.
The LightStyle LS -HB will be available in February 2011 with an MSRP of $7,995. The LS -HB with CineGlide will be available with an MSRP of $15,995. Runco's projectors are available exclusively through the best dealers in residential A/V - the Runco authorized dealer network.

Hayeswater is a small lake within the Lake District of Cumbria, England.
The lake is situated about a mile SE of the hamlet of Hartsop in the Patterdale Valley. It nestles between The Knott to its west and Gray Crag to the east and it is at an altitude of almost 1400 feet (425 m).
The lake is natural but now used as a reservoir serving the Cumbrian town of Penrith. It is fed from the south by Hayeswater Gill, which rises close to the route of the Roman High Street and continues to Cow Bridge where it joins the outlet stream from Brothers Water.

30 hand-picked films. A new one every day
An old Gothic cathedral, built over a mass grave, develops strange powers which trap a number of people inside with ghosts from a 12th Century massacre seeking to resurrect an ancient demon from the bowels of the Earth.
Incredibly entertaining over the top Euro-horror. It definitely has its cheesy moments, but it always manages to be compelling and original with a number of inspired gruesome set pieces right up to its explosive climax. A must for horror fans.
The whole thing looked promising but it mostly failed. Rather similar to other cheesy-gore movies from the 80s, notably from Lamberto Bava, Ruggero Deodato....however the film contains a few memorable / cult moments and a nice photography. The escalation of the supernatural is just too much to be taken seriously here.
I remember the scene featuring the little Asia Argento (her first part ?) which was an obvious tribute to the legendary Shining's type machine sequence :)
the worst film i've seen in a long long time
This is what Sssssss should have been about.
Watch John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness instead. Already forgotten.
not bad but some scenes seemed kind of inadequate

Gibbs, Boje left out in 2000 match fixing chargesheet
13 years after the match-fixing scandal involving former South African captain Hansie Cronje rocked the cricketing world, the Delhi police on Monday filed a charge sheet in the case, from which Herschelle Gibbs and Nicky Boje have been left out.cricket Updated: Jul 22, 2013 21:58 IST
13 years after the match-fixing scandal involving former South African captain Hansie Cronje rocked the cricketing world, the Delhi police on Monday filed a charge sheet in the case from which the names of Herschelle Gibbs and Nicky Boje have been left out.
Cronje, who was indicted by the King Commission of Inquiry in his home country, has been named but proceedings against him are abated in view of his death.
The Crime Branch of Delhi Police has named Cronje, Sanjeev Chawla, Rajesh Kalra, Manmohan Khattar, Sunil Dara alias Bittu and Kishan Kumar, brother of slain T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar, as accused in the case and has chargesheeted them for offences of cheating and criminal conspiracy under the IPC.
The police, in its 93-page charge sheet, said that the proceedings against Cronje, who had died in a plane crash in 2002, be abated while the other five be summoned to face the prosecution in the case.
Gibbs had accepted before the Kings Commission of Inquiry, constituted in South Africa to probe the match fixing scandal, that he was offered money by Cronje for under performance while Boje had denied his involvement in the saga, it said.
It said there is "sufficient evidence" to prove that theaccused had entered into a conspiracy to fix matches played here between India and South Africa in February-March 2000.
"From the investigation conducted so far, there is sufficient evidence to prove that the accused persons....had entered into a criminal conspiracy to fix the cricket matches played between India and South Africa from February 16, 2000 to March 20, 2000 in India," it said.

Auto springs, be that coil springs, torsion bars, or leaf springs, are effective components of your vehicle's suspension system. These performance parts are used among all vehicle types. Different automobiles may employ different kinds of springs, depending on the design of their suspension system. These springs actually support the weight of your auto and ultimately allow the suspension system to move and adjust to various road irregularities like bumps, compressing when the wheels of the vehicle hit a bump on the road and expanding when the wheels encounter a dip. The leaf springs are of wide use in the rear suspension. Because of the load that these springs carry and the pressure that they receive from rough terrains, it is possible for some noises and vibrations to occur as you drive. This is where the Crown leaf spring bushing will come in.
The leaf spring bushing is a kind of bushing that is used to dampen the noise and the vibration from the road to the frame of your vehicle. Remember that the leaf spring, which is fitted at the rear, actually carries the load of your auto and will work effectively everytime you hit a bump. Now, the moment your vehicle hit that bump, the leaf spring will allow the wheels to adapt to the situation, and the vibrations and noise created by such action will be taken cared of by the bushing. Such is the specific role that the leaf spring bushing does in the system.
Better ensure that you have a reliable bushing in your suspension. In case of a replacement need, get the Crown leaf spring bushing, which you can easily secure here at Parts Train. Parts Train has an array of auto parts and accessories which feature a reliable and dependable quality that you can trust.

In 1864, on admiralty land in Sheerness, the SS Henry and Elizabeth Church was built, a gift from Colonel Mosteyn who was not a Roman Catholic but had seen the devotion of his men in the North Cork Militia who had stood in pouring rain to hear mass when there was no room inside the outgrown wooden chapel. Colonel Mosteyn built a church, a school and a presbytery on this land. Designed by E. W. Pugin and built in yellow-banded brick with stone dressings, the church is 112 feet in length. It has a large rose window in the west elevation and a gable turret, the roof is ribbed and paralleled and decorated in iron bosses. The rose window can be found in the Heart Chapel situated above the organ gallery, also three lancets can be found here. A single arch that is framed by two large stone corbels supports the gallery. Earp of London built the High Altar using Caen stone, there is also a large ivory and black wooden crucifix inside the church. A new pulpit was added in 1886, it is octagonal and decorated with trefoil recesses.
Unfortunately Colonel Mostyn died before the church was opened, a memorial for himself and his wife can be found inside the church. A popular priest, Fr Thomas Moynihan, was buried within the church, however this happened six years after his death - the Home Office gave permission for this and his coffin was exhumed from the cemetery in 1897 and re-interred inside.
The original school building is now used as the parish hall.
