A Little About Our Service Area
Commonly known as "High" or "Chipping", Barnet lies within Middlesex, a county rich with history. It was previously part of Hertfordshire County but in 1965, it became part of Greater London. At present, it's now part of the London Borough of Barnet.
It's had its fair share of history, including the famous Battle of Barnet in 1471 and the Barnet Fair of 1588. This location also holds the 810-year old Barnet Market, St. John the Baptist and the Tomb of Thomas Ravenscroft. As beliefs would have it: "Barnet stands on the highest ground betwixt London and York."
Nowadays, it still hosts the traditional Barnet fair which is celebrated annually. It's also home to "The Bees" or Barnet FC. Barnet also serves as the end of one section of the Northern Line. Two tube stations; the Totteridge and Whetstone, and High Barnet serve its citizens.

This client just barely moved into her new home the week I came by to pick up her chair and ottoman. She's a designer and is really excited to start updating her new home. It's beautiful with hunter green beadboard and floral wallpaper! She wanted me to write a disclaimer....that she hasn't painted yet...so ignore the hunter green walls.
Her furniture was muslin covered and ready for slipcovers.
Here is the chair AFTER---white denim with a 1" pleat ruffle along the bottom edge. Ottoman---AFTER blue linen damask.
Close up of front of the arm
I installed the zipper on the back corner next to the piping. I also did a seam that tapered off the back of the arm.... I could have done a pleat there...but it was too big and bulky and didn't look right, so I decided to seam it.
Here is the whole room....remember to ignore the green paint! The ottoman was done in a linen damask. She wanted no piping on it. I lined the four side with duck cloth, to give it some stability...since the linen was pre washed and pretty fluid.
I can't wait to see what she does with the place! She invited me to come back once they have gotten some remodeling done.
Side note---it has been a BUSY summer....
Last month when we camped at Carlsbad State beach, we heard about the Mormon Battalion visitors center. We decided to take the kids there and check out their FREE tour. IT was AWESOME! I have some ancestors on my mom's side that marched with the Mormon Battalion.....so the kids thought that was pretty cool.
They take your family picture after the tour and email it to you.
After the tour...they have some hands on stuff for the kids to do...they got to pan for gold and take two pieces of gold home with them.
They got to pump water and wash clothes on a washboard, and they got to see how the pioneers made bricks. The kids had a BLAST! So if you are ever in San Diego, go check it out! It's #2 on trip advisor of things to do in the area.
SIDE NOTE #2-- A few weeks ago I ran in the top of zion relay down in Southern Utah.
Side note #3---Last weekend all my sisters and I got together in San Francisco for a sisters weekend. I'll post pics next time.
Side note #4--- Oh yes...and I am booked until the end of Septemeber....so if you want on my list email me.

Kitchen must be considered as a significant part in the house since that is where the family cooks and prepares food every day. Apart from the tables, thing like countertops must be installed as well so the cook in the house can function well and a countertop also has a lot of purpose. This means the owner must be smart enough to have them at home and make sure they are installed as fast as possible.
You might not have one so you must do your best to have it in order to cook and prepare the food as properly as you can. Countertops Austin TX have been present in most houses today and that is the reason why a lot of owners can function well. It also provides other perks such as increase the home value for instance. So, this must remind the owner to install the necessary things for his kitchen.
But, there is still a need to choose carefully since not all countertops would satisfy you. Also, it has to be done by the professionals for the whole thing to go well. If not, this can only give you a problem in the long run. That is also why others fail. They rush things and would never think before buying.
Following some steps would help. The first one would be researching. Use the internet when you seek for a countertop and a service to install it. There are tons of sites that can offer you the info about the service that needs to be availed. Photos are even present so you would know their actual look.
You have to take recommendations as well. Your friends might be able to suggest something that can help you find the best ones out there. Also, the things you have read online might not be that reliable so it is best to ask from other sources. Those who have experienced this could suggest better.
Choose a provider that has a name. If not, you might have a hard time believing them. Most known brands or providers would usually give the high quality countertops to their customers. Thus, it can definitely be an advantage for you since you would never have to worry about the quality.
But even if so, you still need to pick the material that you wish a countertop can be glass or wood. It depends on your preference and you must fit it to the design of your kitchen. That way, it will go well and would never waste your money. Glass is much preferable since they are easy to clean.
Size has to be accurately picked. Your kitchen must be measured first since the countertop you would not have any issues with regards to installing it. You can do this and estimate so when the workers come to your house, they already know what to do. This alone is a huge advantage.
After following those tips, you will have a satisfying result. As an owner, you should only maintain it so it can last for a few years. Wiping it on a daily basis would already be enough.

Number of times by which that exceeds the federal loan guarantee received by Solyndra, the California-based solar company that came under fire for declaring bankruptcy after taking the money: 15
Year in which the Georgia legislature passed a law allowing Southern Co. to finance the new Vogtle reactors through a scheme called "construction work in progress" (CWIP), which forces ratepayers to pay for them in advance: 2009

Because of that that law, amount that Progress Energy's Florida ratepayers already must pay for preliminary work on two reactors at a new plant in Levy County: $1.1 billion

Date on which the same Florida lawmaker, Sen. Mike Fasano (R-11), wrote to his state's Public Service Commission asking it to deny rate hikes for new reactors, saying he has "changed his mind about the wisdom of such a policy" that "socializes the risk of reactor investments while privatizing the gain": 5/17/2012

BeLoved – An Event for Girls
March 15, 2013
BeLoved is a ministry and an event for young girls centered on the foundations that we are God's BeLoved and because of His great love for us, we need to think and act differently than the world does as daughters of the King.
Organizer Misty Collins says
"I'm excited to have an open dialogue with the young girls in our community. These girls need to know that people care. That their future is important to them and to us. That we're here for them, not to judge them, but to be friends. We know what it's like to be young and have the world in front of you. We're here to help. Hopefully by sharing our stories and experiences, we can impact these girls to avoid the circumstances we found ourselves in. We want this generation of young ladies to know that they are princesses; royalty because they are daughters of the King.
The most important thing I want these girls to know is they matter to God and He loves them and that their worth comes from Him, not what others think about them. I want them to realize they are His BeLoved."
Each of the organizers is passionate about empowering young women to stand up for themselves and make good decisions. The event will include real-life stories, a fashion show, door prizes, and much more for the young girls of Carroll County.
The BeLoved Event will be Saturday, May 4th, 2013, for young ladies in 6th, 7th & 8th grades and will begin at 10am at FUMC Hillsville – 225 Fulcher Street.

Garrison Keiller set me off. What with being all tied up with family delights: weddings, and the arrival of young Sam, I had a few weeks of the 'Writer's Almanac' podcast to catch up with. There we went, Garrison and I, weaving through time and space, taking in events significant to the date, with a poem to cap it all. Better than the news, because there isn't any news, and this is a good thing, as what news there is, is all so gloomy these days. Reflection on past news (a much better descriptor than 'history' don't you think?) inspires my thoughts for the day, and here they are:
"It was on this day in 1940 that Winston Churchill declaimed in the House of Commons, 'Never in the history of human conflict, have so many owed so much, to so few .... ' " Winston, Garrison tells me, endlessly rehearsed his speeches in the bath. Suddenly, there's a connection. I would, I think, live in the bath if the water never cooled down.
"What have we done?" The journal entry of the pilot who dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6th 1945. Indeed.
The first television picture was a straight line. And it WASN'T transmitted by who I thought it was, and E Annie Proux was born in Conneticut. I would have gone to the gallows swearing she was Canadian.
Philip Larkin, a superb poet who wrote, "Deprivation is to me as the daffodils were to Wordsworth." I liked that. But he wasn't from Hull at all, he was born in Coventry.
Random stuff. Makes me think. How much other stuff that I believe to be true, really isn't, and does it matter?
I shall run a bath and think about it.

Leicester City defender Harry Maguire has reportedly resolved not to make any decisions regarding his future until after the World Cup.
Maguire has completed his first season with the Foxes and despite the side's inconsistent form, the 25-year-old has been an ever-present in the centre of the backline.
The England international's form has allegedly resulted in interest from bigger clubs in the Premier League, but according to The Mirror, Maguire has suggested that he will only focus on international football until after the World Cup.
The former Hull City man is said to be happy at the King Power Stadium and with just over four years remaining on his contract, it would likely take an astronomical offer for Leicester to consider a sale this summer.
However, it appears that Maguire may take note of any interest from Manchester City and Manchester United should an approach be made before the start of next season.

There can be infinite uses of the computer and of new-age technology, but if the teachers themselves are not able to bring it into the classroom and make it work, then it fails.
—Former US Senator Nancy Kassebaum
Colchester Middle School Humanities teacher Jenn Roberge was honored at the recent 2013 Project IGNITE Recognition Luncheon for her leadership in implementing Google Apps for Education at CMS!
The goal of Project IGNITE is to seek opportunities to support and develop the work that educators are doing in the classroom by creating a network experience of the best practices happening in classrooms in Vermont every day.
Thirty educators from around the state were recognized for their innovative and transformative use of technology in the classroom. (To view a slide from the recognition luncheon and to read Ms. Roberge's explanation of some of her work with technology this year, please click here.)
"This year has been a big year for Colchester Middle School," Ms. Roberge said. "All seventh and eighth graders have been working with Google Apps for Education, and it is going well! This has been a great opportunity for students to use the most up-to-date and current technologies that 65 percent of colleges and many business models follow. The entire country of Malaysia, as well as many Vermont schools right in Chittenden County, have moved to this model. The best part is that all of these tools are free to schools! This makes the work we do a sustainable plan.
"Students are thrilled to have these opportunities in the classroom and a chance to collaborate with peers in real time with authentic work experiences," Ms. Roberge continued. "This year, I have helped teachers in language arts, social studies, math, and science—as well as special educators and the library/media specialist—explore the use of these tools as an embedded part of their curriculum. Students have created their own websites demonstrating their research and exploration of real or hoax sites, collaborated on book reviews, developed and maintained their own blogs with regular posting and commenting experiences, and have linked several technology projects (videos, glogs, prezis, spreadsheets, and presentations) that they've created as part of content-specific tasks aligned with the Common Core. Students enjoy being able to archive and return to their digital work as well as share with others outside of the classroom walls."
This summer, Ms. Roberge and some of her CMS colleagues will complete Part II of the Google Tools for School course. "I am very excited to go deeper into the resources and plan for even more rigorous experiences for students," she said.
The Colchester School District Vision and Strategic Plan 2012–2017's pathways include Pathway A: High Standards, Expectations, and Individual Engagement for All Learners; Pathway B: Technology Infrastructure and Integration; and Pathway C: Learning Outside Our Four Walls. There is a lot of forward momentum in our schools on these fronts. Furthermore, the Vermont Technology Grade Expectations outline major focus areas in education, and among them are digital citizenship and technology operations and concepts, so this work is particularly meaningful and relevant.

Study shows that most Sunday school teachers prepare their lessons on Saturday

Saturday night statistics
When do you prepare your lesson for Sunday's class? If you get ready for class at the very last minute would you admit it? Thanks to the statistics on web servers, it is possible to see the trend of spikes in web traffic for searches for Sunday school lesson plans, printable activities and crafts.
The following graph shows a two month sample of unique visitors to the page http://www.gospelhall.org/sundayschool - a page devoted to free ideas for Sunday school teachers. Guess which days are the Saturdays? You guessed it. The highest number of visits occurs each Saturday - about 50% more than the other days of the week.
Leaving the planning for the class until the last minute can lead to forgettable performances. For better planning strategies, see the pages on building lesson units weeks in advance here - http://www.gospelhall.org/teaching--preaching/sunday-school-helper.html

A vegetable garden is an ideal addition to any landscape, but the success of it all depends on your region and climate. In Arizona, there are a handful of months out of the year where it seems impossible anything can grow outside because of the extreme heat. Surprisingly, many vegetables can grow in the Arizona desert—you just need to plant them at the right times. Also, some vegetables grow better from seed while others should be transplanted.
Cool Season Vegetables
Cool-season vegetables should be planted in late fall to early winter. These vegetables are hardy and can germinate in cooler soil. They include broccoli, beets, onions, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, turnips, peas, potatoes, radishes and spinach. In order to get the maximum quality from your vegetables, it is necessary they mature in cooler air rather than hot summers.
Warm Season Vegetables
Warm-season vegetables are those that need to be planted in late winter to early spring. These can't tolerate frost and need warm air to help mature. These vegetables include beans, eggplant, cucumbers, melons, corn, tomatoes, peppers, pumpkin, squash and sweet potatoes. On the other hand, they usually can't survive temperatures that can sunburn the vegetables, which will reduce their quality.
The vegetables that you should transplant into your garden include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, eggplant, lettuce, onion, tomatoes and pepper. You can transplant, carrots, celery, squash and okra, but they may have some difficulties.
Planting Seeds
Vegetables that ideally can be grown from seeds include asparagus, lettuce, beans, beets, leeks, brussel sprouts, parsley, parsnip, peas, radishes, spinach, cucumber, rutabaga, endives, kale and watermelon, to name a few.

Deglet Nour dates – the bread of the desert
Finger of light
Since 2013, we have been working with organic farmers in Biskra on the "Deglet Nour" date variety. The Deglet Nour date variety, which is translated as "finger of light", is one of the most popular date varieties. The thumb-sized, golden-coloured date bears this name because of its particularly soft, almost translucent flesh, through which the contours of the long pit with its pointed ends can be easily distinguished when held up to the sun. It has a full-bodied, sweet flavour and is a real powerhouse thanks to its rich nutrient content.
Cultivation and processing
At times up to 2500 real palms stand ten metres apart in the date fields in Algeria which were certified organic with our help at the beginning of our collaboration They grow between 15 to 20 metres high and bear fruit for up to a century. Every two years the palms' pollinated flowers bear new dates. The fruits dry in the simmering heat of the desert sun while still on the branch. As soon as the drying phase is over, the very hard dates are harvested by hand and then transported in crates to the processing facility located in Biskra. There, they are first sorted by size, degree of drying and further criteria before they are washed and sprinkled with drinking water until the desired moisture content has been reached. The dates are then pitted by hand. This method of processing gives the Deglet Nour dates their especially soft consistency.
The bread of the desert
Due to their high nutrient concentration, dates were counted as a staple foodstuff as far back as 5000 years ago, and this is also the case today, particularly in the East. That is why they are also known as "the bread of the desert". It's not only the honey-sweet, caramel-like flesh of the date that can be used as an important food product and energy source; in the desert the date pits are also trampled down, mixed with a small amount of water and used as animal food. Dates are characterised not only by the many vitamins and trace elements they contain, but also by their significance in human history. As a result of the date palm's consistent blooming and many diverse uses, it is considered to be a tree of life in the Bible, and has become a symbol of resurrection. Dates also enjoy an important role in Islam. During the fasting period of Ramadan, Muslims break their fast after sunset with a date and a glass of water, as the Prophet Muhammad purportedly recommended.

Shaving is the latest trend in skin care. According to the beauty expert, 33% women regularly shave their face in secret for the young looking, smooth skin and less facial hair. But, what do you think, is it safe for women?
In medical terms, it is known as 'Dermaplaning'. It takes place under the expert or professional dermatologist and the whole process of the shaving is called as dermaplaning.
Face shaving help us to regress the age and remove dead cells from the skin. In this process, a special razor is used to stroke the dead and dry skin. Its technique removes facial hair from the skin and makes your skin smoother and ready for the beautiful makeup.
Women with thicker facial hair growth may expect exfoliating of the skin. As it is rightly said that 'excess of everything is bad', similarly, too much shaving can also be bad for your skin and can give you thicker, rougher skin.
There are many other ways to exfoliate the skin than shaving which make your skin wrinkle free, smooth and gives you a young looking face.
Home-made scrubbers are also one of the best ways to exfoliate the skin. So, wait no more, gear up for the beautiful and glowing skin and walk with confidence.
One response to "Is it safe for women to shave face?"
wat i dooo i have lot of facial hair n i dooo bleaching no other optiob dat makes ma face dry

Society's Child
YouTube plans to decide for users what is and is not 'reputable news'
Tue, 10 Jul 2018 14:17 UTC
YouTube announced the initiative on Monday, and says it aims to make "it easier to find quality news" and improve "the news experience on YouTube." The initiative forms part of a wider, $300 million Google program aimed at "helping journalism thrive in the digital age."
In the coming weeks, videos posted about breaking news events will be accompanied with a link to carefully vetted news article about the events, as well as a reminder that breaking news can rapidly change. YouTube will also highlight breaking news videos from reputable news organizations on its homepage, and recommend that viewers watch similar videos following the ones they were watching.
With the left-right divide in America widening, the challenge for YouTube is deciding what sources count as reputable. Among those vetted by YouTube are CNN and Fox News. CNN has been slated and derided as 'fake news' by President Trump and others on the right, while CNN President Jeff Zucker called Fox a "propaganda machine" earlier this year.
When Facebook announced plans to rank news sources by "trustworthiness" and "dial up the intensity" of news suppression this May, it enlisted the help of a host of news organizations to define what "trustworthy" means. However, all but two of the over 20 organizations enlisted leaned to the political left.
The only US outlet mentioned in YouTube's announcement is Vox Media, a left-wing "explainer" website. YouTube has also revealed that one of its "trusted flaggers" of objectionable content is the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that focuses solely on "right-wing extremism." The SPLC has been forced to retract several articles over the past few months, and pay a $3.75 million compensation to a think-tank it mischaracterized as anti-Muslim.
YouTube has attempted to subtly influence its viewers' news diet before. Earlier this year, the platform began labeling videos from news outlets that receive government funding. The labels are visible to viewers in the US, and affect outlets like PBS, BBC, Al-Jazeera, and RT. The labeling of RT is in line with parent company Google's decision last year to de-rank RT articles from search results, making alternate viewpoints that much harder to find.
Eric Schmidt, the Executive Chairman of Google's parent company Alphabet, said at the time that the move was aimed at replacing "bad speech" with "good speech," but critics called it "a form of censorship" that defied "all logic and reason."
Under the new rules, videos on long-running conspiracy theories -that the moon landings were faked, for instance- will now be accompanied by a link to a relevant Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Britannica article challenging the claims.
"There are going to be counter points of view, and there's going to be [videos] where people who have a conspiratorial opinion are going to express them," said YouTube's Chief Product Officer, Neal Mohan. "What I think we can do is, instead of telling users what to think, give them as much information as possible, so that they can make those decisions themselves."
Mohan denies that YouTube's new features amount to censorship, and viewers will still be able to find a wealth of content on the platform.
Many independent and citizen journalists who have relied on YouTube in years past fear that the new policy will favor mainstream and establishment media outlets at their expense. They have already been impacted by YouTube's changes to its content policy last August, which flagged videos that discussed "controversial" topics as unsuitable for advertisers and de-monetized, depriving their creators of much-needed ad revenue.
Tim Pool, a political moderate, described the demonetization as applied with "no discernible pattern" and said "I'm not the first and I won't be the last person to be affected by this."
Comment: If Western governments and mainstream media outlets would actually tell the truth, then there'd be no need for companies like Google, Facebook, and Youtube to act as thought police on their websites.

I don't know what counts as a glitch or not, but the most fun speedruns for me are execution heavy. Breaking the game can be interesting, but I watch speedruns to see people play well more than anything else.
I don't know what counts as a glitch or not, but the most fun speedruns for me are execution heavy. Breaking the game can be interesting, but I watch speedruns to see people play well more than anything else.
I always thought speedruns were about finding the best shortcuts and shortest path to your goal. Most Thief levels are non linear, so it's not like some corridor shooter where there's only one path to the end. Adding in the Expert difficulty would force the player to make even more decisions and choices on their route, depending on where the loot is placed.
Also, it appears people get upset about all of this stuff.
As Amorphous said, Expert is exactly like Normal: people figure out the best route throughout the entire level and they stick with it all the time unless someone finds a better route or someone finds a major glitch (such as the wall/door clipping that changed routes for a few missions). There is otherwise almost zero deviation from this route. Expert is trickier because you have less health and must accomplish more things, but as far as speedrunning is concerned it's the same thing.
Starker: Thief speedruns are execution heavy, especially Thief 1. Some of the tricks shown are pretty difficult to pull off even if the runners make them look easy. It's not as if this was a console game speedrun where the runner tinkers with the console memory to break the game.

When I think back on this marathon, I rather enjoyed the more restricted categories, like the all map tiles Super Metroid run and the all forts, all castles, small only Super Mario World run. The glitch heavy Doom 2016 run, in contrast, not so much. Of course, 100% runs can get tedious too, if they drag on too long, so I find that a good "balanced" category is usually the best to watch in that regard.
Kek, walrus does indeed deserve all the snark he's getting. Especially the "where is the skill in that?" about legit speedrunning as opposed to glitching a game requiring skill
Anyways, I think I'm gonna try and sit through that walkthrough myself. As said, hoping there are good clever workarounds (instead of boring wallglitching or whatever).

I am having some trouble with customers having trouble filling out my forms.
iPhones and Android phones
How can I have it for everyone to see iPhones / Android phones / Computers
My Forms

What sort of trouble is happening when your customers are trying to fill in your form on mobile?
Can you please explain more to us about this issue so that we can better assist you.
Additionally, I took a look at your form and it looks normal and the same as your webpage. When I clicked on your jotform I was also able to use it fine as well.
Do you maybe mean that you want it to fit mobile devices? Or?
I would suggest making your form responsive in your preferences by setting responsive option to "yes" or alternatively you could try using our form responsive widget. Only use one of them.
If neither of those work then you may need to check your website cms for any sort of mobile settings because most likely since you have it embedded there might be some other tool either overriding it or you may have to enable it so that your site is responsive along with the form to use for mobile devices.
- GaryAnswered on March 17, 2015 at 01:49 AM
Everything's ok, viewing the form from my computers.
When I view it from my cell phone the form is cut off
- JotForm Support ManagerJeanetteAnswered on March 17, 2015 at 09:05 AM
Click on Preferences button.
On General Settings, set Responsive Form option to Yes
You can also use our new Form Designer tool if you want to add more styles to the form, and make your form responsive from there.
While on Edit mode, click the Form Designer Icon on the Form Style toolbar. (Pictured below)
On Form Layout click on Make This Form Responsive
Otherwise, by setting the option in Preferences will be enough.
The form will be viewable on both mobile phones, pads and computers.
- GaryH123Answered on March 17, 2015 at 09:57 PM
I been following all of everyone's directions and I still am unable to get it right.
When I look at it on a computer the form is far left.
When I look at it on iPhone / Android everything is almost perfect

Hello Gary,
I did check your web page where you have embedded your form and I see the problem. Please check the screenshot below:
Here are the steps I would suggest you:
#1. It seems you have used your form's script embed code in your web page. For the forms to work properly in mobile devices, I would suggest you to embed your form with its iFrame embed code. The following guide should help you : https://www.jotform.com/help/148-Getting-the-Form-iFrame-Code
#2. Do test your web page if the iFrame embed code solves your issue. If the issue persists, please go ahead and inject the following custom css code in your form:
html.supernova {
background: none !important;
margin-left: 12%;
The following guide should help you on how to inject custom css code in form: https://www.jotform.com/help/117-How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes
Hope this helps.
Do get back to us if you have any questions.
Thank you!
- GaryH123Answered on March 18, 2015 at 10:14 AM
How do I inject this CSS code into the old code
I already know to go to Form Styles
I am not sure on where to add this code into the other code
html.supernova {
background: none !important;
margin-left: 12%;
Viewing the code it's still short for an iPhone / Android Cell Phone
On a computer it's great
- KadeJMAnswered on March 18, 2015 at 11:18 AM
In order to inject the above css code you can just use this guide http://www.jotform.com/help/117-How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes as suggested above previously to show you how to do that.
You just need to add the line of code to the very bottom if there is existing code already there then just scroll way down and paste it.
- GaryH123Answered on March 18, 2015 at 09:39 PM
How about deleting the entire list of questions that I wanted support to answer.
- JotForm Supportashwin_dAnswered on March 19, 2015 at 01:19 AM
Hello GaryH123,
I am not sure if deleting all threads are allowed but you do you want to delete the threads? I have gone ahead and marked your last few threads as private. Now only JotForm support and you can access those threads. That should be an acceptable solution.
Thank you!

Based on O2's last quarter earnings report, the iPhone is not only O2's fastest selling device, is not only setting new records for customer satisfaction, but helped contribute towards a 9.5% increase for the last quarter 2007.
In addition to Apple's debut mobile device having the lowest return rate among O2's lineup, it also drove a whopping 30% more revenue per user than the carrier's average, and helped add 483,000 customers and 276,000 new contracts (roughly 60% of which were nicked from the competition).
Impressive, innit?
But is it enough to help shore up what some see as Apple's diminished leverage with international carriers, especially with companies like China Mobile which boast hundreds of thousands of unlocked units already on their networks? We'll see...

The biggest free agent signing of the offseason just happened yesterday. Yu Darvish has agreed to a 6 year/$126 million dollar contract with the Chicago Cubs. This deal could potentially be worth $150 million due to some incentives that are also a part of Darvish's contract.
After the 2017 season, the Cubs lost two of their starting pitchers to free agency, John Lackey and Jake Arrieta. The Cubs replaced Lackey by signing Tyler Chatwood, but had yet to sign a significant pitcher to replace Arrieta. That is where Darvish comes in.
Darvish is most likely going to slot into the rotation after Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lester due to the decline that he experienced last year. He did not have a terrible 2017 campaign, though. While he may have struggled through the first half of the season with the Texas Rangers, reaching a 4.01 ERA and 6-9 record, he steadily improved after the trade deadline. Darvish started to look more like himself as he had a 3.44 ERA and a 4-3 record through 9 starts with the Dodgers. Even as he progressed through the postseason, he flashed signs of his All-Star caliber form by having below a 2.00 ERA in both the NLDS and NLCS.
The main problem with Darvish comes with his World Series performance. The Houston Astros found out early that he was tipping his pitches. This led Darvish to have a 21.60 ERA through only 3.1 innings. He would proceed to lose the two games that he started, including game 7 of the Fall Classic.
I can understand why this would be a deterrent for most fans, and maybe even some MLB teams. Tipping pitches is one of the worst mistakes you can make in baseball. I also believe that it is a simple fix. The Cubs' pitching coach, Jim Hickey, will most likely make this his number one concern with Darvish and find a way to fix the problem as quickly and efficiently as possible. Not to mention, Darvish has most likely been working hard during the offseason to fix the problem on his own as well.
With the correct adjustments, Darvish could easily be a top of the line #3 starter. I would expect around a 3.25 ERA and at least 14 wins from him in 2018. With a rotation of Hendricks, Lester, Darvish, Quintana, and Chatwood, the Cubs are set to have another dominant season.

starting a college fund for your child
Full disclosure: I am not a tax expert or a financial advisor. These are my opinions and if you have tax questions it is best to double check with an expert. I am merely giving you my two cents on my journey to starting a college fund for my kids.
College tuition has been increasing more and more every year, and by the time my kids are in college I can't even imagine what the cost for 1 year's tuition will be. This is why I started a Learning Quest 529 plan to save for my kids' college. Here is everything you need to know for starting a college fund for your child:
Learning Quest 529
Learning Quest is an online way to start a college fund, so you won't need a broker. You can handle everything online from the comfort of your home. What I like about Learning Quest is that you can start automatic contributions. I love everything automatic, because it is one less thing for me to remember! Another cool feature about Learning Quest is that it lets you decide how you want the money invested whether you want an aggressive portfolio (subject to large gains/losses), or a conservative portfolio (little to no gains/losses). Now, in order to open an account you do have to have $25 right away, but like most checking/savings accounts there is usually a minimum deposit to open an account with most banks and $25 isn't much in the long scheme of things.
What can funds be used on?
This is where I love Learning Quest because they break it down for you so you know what you can use the funds on. According to Learning Quest, the money you save in a 529 plan can be used on tuition, books, school supplies related to college, and room and board. Also, as the picture above mentions, there were changes made to the Federal Tax reform in regards to what you can spend the money on. One thing I bet most parents don't know when starting a college fund for your child is that you can use the money on K-12 expenses. I mean, how great is that?!
Financial Advisor
If you aren't comfortable starting a college fund for your child via Learning Quest, you can also contact a financial advisor at a reputable firm like Edward Jones and they can help set up your college fund for you, but in all honesty Learning Quest is really simple to use, and has a phone number you can call if you get lost or have questions.
Tax Deductible
If you live in the United States, the money you put away into a college fund can be deductible up to a certain amount. Please see this link to determine your state's allowed amount to deduct: https://www.finaid.org/savings/state529deductions.phtml
It really is a gift that keeps on giving, because you are helping your child but you also get to write off some of that contribution.
No matter how young or old your child is, it is never too late to start saving for their college! Starting a college fund for your child can be rather easy, and your kids will thank you for it someday. Don't forget to share this article with all of your friends who also have kids, so they can start saving too! As always, thank you for reading, and please feel free to subscribe for more sweet advice from one mom to another.

Wednesday, June 29, 2011
A total of 136 entries (an increase of 10 on the 2010 figure) have been received for the Blue Square Stewards' Cup, run on the final day of Glorious Goodwood, Saturday, July 30. The famous six-furlong handicap, which boasts a total prize fund of £100,000, has a safety limit of 28 but for the first time in 2011, the consolation race for horses which fail to make the final field, the £30,000 Bluesquare.com Stewards' Sprint Handicap, will also take place on the same day, providing a fantastic double-header of sprint handicap action.
Richard Jaques, PR and Sponsorship Manager at Blue Square, commented: "Blue Square is delighted to continue the association with the historic Blue Square Stewards' Cup, and this year to be part of this initiative to move the Stewards' Cup 'Consolation' race, to be known going forward as the Bluesquare.com Stewards' Sprint Handicap, to the first race on Saturday, July 30.
"This will be the fifth year of Blue Square's sponsorship of the main race and we feel moving the Stewards' Sprint to the Saturday will greatly enhance the afternoon's card.
"Blue Square customers will benefit from witnessing a race run over the same six-furlong course as the Blue Square Stewards' Cup earlier in the day and can bet on the main race accordingly. We will, of course, be offering a variety of special markets on both races."
Blue Square has opened a market on the Blue Square Stewards' Cup and starts with three 10/1 co-favourites - Deacon Blues, Hoof It and Mac's Power. Deacon Blues recorded the biggest victory of his career when successful in the Wokingham Handicap at Royal Ascot on June 18 and is trained in Newmarket by James Fanshawe, who is also responsible for Mac's Power. Mac's Power finished eighth in the same contest, when drawn on the seemingly unfavourable stands' side. Hoof It started favourite for the Wokingham, having previously won a competitive handicap at York in May, but could fare no better than seventh when he may have been unsuited by the easy underfoot conditions. He is trained by veteran handler Mick Easterby, who could also be represented by Ancient Cross (20/1 with Blue Square), winner of the competitive Gosforth Park Cup Handicap over five furlongs at Newcastle on June 24.
Last year, the Blue Square Stewards' Cup was won by Evens And Odds (16/1), who handed a third victory in the race to his trainer David Nicholls and is one of 25 entries for the Thirsk handler in 2011. Other leading contenders from the Nicholls stable include Joseph Henry (25/1) and Victoire de Lyphar (16/1), who fought out the finish of the Stewards' Sprint Handicap in 2010, and the multiple Group race winner Tax Free (20/1).
A horse that can boast an excellent record at Goodwood is Humidor (25/1), trained at Whitsbury in Hampshire by George Baker. The four-year-old was successful over six furlongs at the course in a handicap in September, 2010 and again showed his liking for the venue when taking another handicap, this time over five furlongs, on April 30 this year.
Baker reported today: "The Blue Square Stewards' Cup is definitely a possible target for Humidor.
"He will go to Sandown on Saturday for the Group Three sprint and if all was to go well there, I am sure we will have to think about Goodwood. He has won on his two previous starts there so he obviously likes the course.
"We ideally need to rise a few pounds to have a chance of making the final line-up for the Blue Square Stewards' Cup, so if he were to run well at Sandown on Saturday, we can hopefully sneak up a bit in the ratings.
"If he was to miss out on the Blue Square Stewards' Cup, then the consolation Bluesquare.com Stewards' Sprint Handicap is another race to consider."
Other leading contenders include Pastoral Player (12/1), who finished third in the Wokingham Handicap and Scottish raider Hawkeyethenoo (12/1), who was last seen out when taking the Victoria Cup over seven furlongs at Ascot in May. Edinburgh Knight (14/1) recently showed his well-being with a handy success over six furlongs at Newcastle on June 25, while Dungannon (14/1) was triumphant at Doncaster earlier this month and looks open to further improvement.
Weights for the Blue Square Stewards' Cup will be revealed on Wednesday, July 6.
10/1 Deacon Blues, Hoof It, Mac's Power; 12/1 Hawkeyethenoo, Pastoral Player; 14/1 Edinburgh Knight; Dungannon; 16/1 Waffle, Evens And Odds, Victoire de Lyphar, Swiss Cross, Addictive Dream, Dubai Media, Novellen Lad; 20/1 Tiddliwinks, Dafeef, Tajneed, Ancient Cross , Gramercy, Nasri, Lui Rei, Quest For Success, Medicean Man, Lexi's Hero, Tax Free, Parisian Pyramid, Johannes, Fireback; 25/1 Jimmy Styles, High Standing, Rain Delayed, Bajan Tryst, Crown Choice, Colonel Mak, Fathsta, Kuanyao, Humidor, Silaah, Show Rainbow, Desert Law, Joseph Henry, R Woody, Secret Witness, Irish Heartbeat, Son of The Cat, Lutine Bell, Fitz Flyer, Racy, Kalk Bay; 33/1 Brave Prospector, Blue Jack , Prime Defender, Singeur, Mon Cadeaux, Cape To Rio, Global City, Beyond Desire, Advanced, Confessional, Noverre To Go, Favourite Girl, Sohraab; 40/1 Tamagin, Mister Hughie, Swilly Ferry, Mr David, Majestic Dubawi , Secret Asset, Edge Closer, Golden Desert, Five Star Junior; 50/1 Atlantic Sport
DANCE BIDDING TO GO ONE BETTER IN GOODWOOD'S totesport MILE AFTER UNLUCKY ROYAL ASCOT DEFEAT
Trainer Ed Vaughan is hoping that Dance And Dance, an unlucky second in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot on his last start, can gain compensation in the £125,000 totesport Mile at Goodwood on Friday, July 29.
Entries are revealed today for the famous handicap and Dance And Dance is one of 77 hopefuls engaged.
The progressive five-year-old, who landed an extended mile handicap at Epsom's Derby meeting earlier this month, was badly hampered in the Royal Hunt Cup although he still managed to finish only half a length behind the winner Julienas.
"I thought he was very unlucky at Ascot," reflected Vaughan. "He was only beaten half a length but lost a length when he got bumped and that's before you take into account the momentum he lost."
Weights for the totesport Mile are announced next week on Wednesday, July 6, and Vaughan is hoping that Dance And Dance does not head the handicap.
"We've made the entry at Goodwood and the plan has been to go for the totesport Mile. But we'll look at the race and see what's running and how he is nearer the time. We have got another option for him in France and he's a small horse so I wouldn't be that keen to run him off top-weight at Goodwood," added Vaughan.
"He's as tough as teak and we keep saying every time that we don't know if he can improve again but he keeps pulling out a bit more.
"He goes well fresh and would go straight to Goodwood, there would be no prep race beforehand. He's had plenty of runs already this season and we've got him up to a decent level of fitness. I let him down slightly after Ascot and he was too fresh so I had to start with him again sooner than I intended. He's in terrific form at home."
The Royal Hunt Cup form is well-represented in the totesport Mile entries via the likes of Invisible Man, Pendragon, Eton Forever, Start Right, Kyllachy Star and Fareer, who filled the places from third to eighth at Ascot.
Invisible Man, the 2010 Royal Hunt Cup winner and totesport Mile runner-up, is one of six entries in the Goodwood contest owned by Godolphin, who won the race in 2004 with Ancient World.
Trainer Mark Johnston is the most successful trainer in the totesport Mile's history, with four victories including the last two runnings with Sea Lord (2010) and Laa Rayb (2009). He has two chances of adding to that record this year with Master Of Arts, who has not appeared since running at Meydan in February, 2010, and Tartan Gigha.
Beckhampton handler Roger Charlton is another with an impressive totesport Mile record, winning the race in 2007 with Third Set and a year later with Fifteen Love, and he could be represented by last year's fourth Proponent.
A trio with Royal Ascot-winning form this year are the Tom Dascombe-trained Rhythm Of Light, who landed the Listed Sandringham Handicap on her latest start, Manassas from Brian Meehan's stable and winner of the Buckingham Palace Handicap, and Sagramor, who Hughie Morrison sent out to win the Britannia Handicap.
North Yorkshire handler Richard Fahey won the 2003 totesport Mile with Lady Bear and he looks set to launch a powerful assault on the 2011 running with no less than eight entries this year. Three-year-old Las Verglas Star won a mile handicap at Haydock on June 18 by three and a half lengths while his stablemates Pleasant Day and Viva Ronaldo also scored on their latest outings.
The William Haggas-trained Green Destiny finished only seventh when sent off a red-hot 6/4 favourite for the Listed Wolferton Handicap at Royal Ascot and he is one of several totesport Mile entries who could make an appearance in a handicap at Sandown on Saturday.

text: Well let me explain. I love to knit and crochet but for about two years I have worked at x flea market selling my finished products. That took sine thing from me. I wasn't able to work on the things I enjoyed but had to go with supply and demand. I have since dumped my flea market gig and I took a break from hooking. Now I am back in full effect but I am not entertaining any special orders that do not hold my attention. I have a collection of vintage books and I am excited to work the patterns out of them. My current WIPs (works in progress) are the red heart Trapezi vest by the double stitch twins (2 of my favorite designers). I am still working on the Care Bears afghan and the Cowboy blanket (not motivated to work on either of them). Finishing up a vest pattern out of one of my magazines. Stiffening a pair of earrings so I can add beads and a ear wire. Picking my own projects brings the joy back to me for hooking. Happy hooking everyone.

Year 4 have been learning about the three States of Matter and how the particles change when in each state. Today we looked at an ice cube, a candle and chocolate and tried to identify what they all had in common. We learned about freezing and melting points and followed this with an investigation to find out if a chocolate button would melt faster in the mouth or a hand. Some predicted the hand because of sweaty palms! Others said the mouth as your mouth has a warm tongue in it as well as warm saliva. We timed the results.
We found out that the chocolate button melted quicker in the mouth. It took about a minute.
Finally we compared this with melting the chocolate using a candle. Again it took a minute to melt. We were also able to closely observe how wax melts and how it changes colour. The lesson got a thumbs up!

Low Expectations
My venture into this week's recent update of Pokémon Tower Defense 2 was embarked upon with considerable caution and suspicion; this is partly to with the fact that this is pretty much how I've always viewed the world (being brought up in South Wales left me with mistrust of people in general), but mainly because last week's update was somewhat of a disappointment. The previous update involved travelling south of Violet City to reach Route 32, or as I've come know it, 'The Route of Unending Disappointment'. My dejection with Route 32 was that there was barely anything to get stuck into in terms of gameplay; it contained only a few Mareeps and Woopers for capture and some higher-level Pokémon that apparently think your Pokéball simply isn't a good enough home for them. I learned to live with the disappointment, however, and instead pinned my hopes on the next update. Thankfully, there's a tad more substance to this week's offering, which takes us to the west of Route 32 and into the mystical Ruins of Alph. You'll also find that there are some pleasing quantities of experience points to be finagled along the way. Juicy.
A Wealth of Experience
Before we can skip merrily ahead to the main bulk of the action contained within this week's update, we are physically prevented from pressing on with our Alph excursion by the seemingly run-of-the mill security guard of generic appearance, one of which being posted at the entrance to each area and acting as a physical representation of the limits of this week's development of the game. This particular guard is holding out on us, though, since speaking with him will enter you into a battle in which you success will allow you to pass through the gate and onto the Ruins of Alph. The guard possesses a Level 20 Crobat which you will fight on a 1 vs 1 basis. Winning the battle is relatively easy provided your Pokémon are at the right level, with level 20 of course being a rough guide for your Pokémon's battle-worthiness (and also being the maximum actual level your Pokémon can currently reach in this area). I'm aware that many have trained their Pokémon's level to 30 and above, though this requires a simultaneous devotion of significant amounts of time and a distinct lack of other worldly activities that pertain to actually having a life to fill this time with. In a departure from Gandalf's method of obstructing the path of those that desire to pass, the guard will simply let you slip past in a westerly direction.
This one just doesn't know when to quit: Rematch your way to endless portions of quality, freshly-made experience points
Tiny Tip
You are able to enter into rematches with the obstructive guard ad infinitum, making him a literal battling goldmine which you can use to levy experience points from. It is a good idea to use this opportunity to train up any of the Pokémon in your collection that are lagging behind in the level department. Though your weaker Pokémon aren't likely to fare well against a one-on-one battle with the Level 20 Crobat, you can use electric-type Pokémon to reduce his health down to minimal levels and finish him off with the Pokémon you wish to be the beneficiary of a tasty wedge of experience-points pie. I use my Shiny Shinx (which I was lucky enough to pick up as part of the mystery gift giveaway some time ago) to do the job, but you can just as easily catch a Mareep from Route 32 to fulfil this role.
[For the fervently dedicated fans of Pokémon and its Tower Defense counterparts, this tip will seem like a ridiculous stating of the obvious, but I'll be honest, the onus is on you to simply ignore any information irrelevant to you and move on. There simply isn't time for me (or anyone) to care about your overly-enthusiastic 'I already knew that' statements and excessively-smug attacks directed at my writing efforts that are based upon disturbingly (and needlessly) detailed knowledge of Pokémon Tower Defense]
The Alphabet in Ruins, Unown, and their Inexplicable Interest in Geology
After heading through the gate, you will be standing only slightly south of the Ruins of Alph, which possesses two entrances for you to explore. Each of the chambers beyond these entrances is pretty much identical and both contain a significant number of Unowns that appear and disappear at their leisure. There isn't much to do here in the way of storyline development or general progress in the game since this is pretty much as far as the development has gone this week, but what we can do, however, is become involved in voluntary battles with the Unown for the benefit of our very own Pokémon collection.
Ruins of Alph: This is one of the two sections that are now accessible in the most recent update
Making physical contact with any of the Unown will start a battle in the usual manner, with the Unown entering from the left in single file and the usual battle positions available for your Pokémon above and below the advancing line of these unusually-shaped critters. The Unowns vary between levels 9 and 13 and once they've advanced over the right-hand edge of the screen, and having taken a keen interest in the mysterious rocks that are present in the ruins, will make a return journey from whence they came with the rocks in their possession. Once all of the rocks have been nabbed, the battle will be over.
Catching Unown doesn't really put you at any particular advantage since they are the Pokémon equivalent of a lame duck (no offense to Psyduck/Golduck) and are unable to develop their move-set further than the 'Hidden Power' which they already possess. The Ruins of Alph, therefore, are at the moment merely a novelty that can be briefly explored, playing host to a few Unowns and dangling the metaphorical carrot of mystery in regards to these mysterious rocks that reside there. We can only speculate as to the content of the next update, but I'm guessing there'll eventually be a bit of creative explanation about these rocks interspersed with some jaunty humour and self-referential narration; Sam has always been liberal with such light-hearted comments that are almost half the fun of the whole thing.
That's all the coverage I'm giving Sam's Most Recent update of the game, since there's nothing to do until the next update but accumulate a collection of Unowns in all their shapes and forms. The most productive thing to do is to keep battling the guard at the exit from Route 32 and watch your Pokémon grow big and strong. Until next time, travellers.
Back to Route 32 and Nothing to Do - Forward to Full Metal Jacket, A Devious Entei, and Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire

It seems this word is the one that best describes my life since I dealt with the trauma stemming from Chuck's death.
It was difficult, when I sought trauma therapy, to accurately describe why his death so traumatized me.
His hospice time, and the drama involved in that, though I very intentionally shielded him from the drama. There's always drama when someone dies, in one way or another. Family dynamics, right?
Watching him choke to death…definitely trauma inducing.
Saying goodbye to this man whose very breath was my breath…trauma inducing.
The intensity of the words thrown at me after his death, that made me doubt for a second, whether I'd known the man I lived with for 24 years…there was lots of trauma involved in that. Not from the words themselves, but even the vague nano-thought that I'd doubted him…god, that was hugely traumatizing to me.
But I underwent EMDR and Tapping and bi-lateral brain stimulation, along with talk therapy, and that took the trauma from inside my chest where a meat slicer had lodged itself, and set it outside my body. It enabled me to breathe a tad more easily.
Except when I don't. Breathe, that is. But, at least when I do breathe, I can take a fairly deep breath without my lungs feeling as if they're being sliced into pieces.
And now, building steadily since the trauma took a hike, there is emptiness.
Huge emptiness inside of me.
What was difficult to explain to the therapist is that the trauma that isn't gone, that can't go away, is living without him. That is traumatic to me.
The trauma of that leaves an empty void inside of me.
Huge big massive emptiness.
I combat it daily, filling my world with pink, and pushing myself to engage with my surroundings. I do that, and have done it, every damn day, since I went on the road.
And the thing is…all of what I do is genuine.
I really like the people I meet on the road, or at the temporary jobs I take. The hugs I get, the hugs I give, they are so meaningful to me. Everything I do is real and heartfelt and keeps me here on this earth. I deeply love my kids and my grands, my siblings, my friends.
All of the pink around me means something. If I hadn't gone pink as I have, I would have disappeared, and I know it. I could have disappeared so easily. Maybe not physically, but in all the ways that matter.
Instead I immersed myself in pink. I've given space, and continue to give space, to the grief, but I've also given huge space to the Love that Chuck left behind for me.
It's what I know to do.
But, still…the emptiness that is the other shade of the pink and the Love.
What else do I need to do to make myself not so empty? What is the fucking magic formula?
I don't even know if I'm using the correct word when I say emptiness….maybe it's another world entirely. I don't know.
I just feel so fucking empty, and my world feels so colorless without Chuck in it.
And I know beyond knowing that I'm not the only widow who feels this.
Do you feel this emptiness too?

Lisa Richardson commented 2017-05-18 00:08:22 -0700Emptiness is a perfect word for it. I have never felt so alone even surrounded by people I know and love. There's always this hole in me that can never be filled. I thought it might get better with time, and it is easier to live with a bit after 6 years. But it never goes away.
Christina Calhoon commented 2017-05-17 17:44:09 -0700Yes, I feel the emptiness. I feel it when I'm alone and I feel it when I'm busy running around all over the place. I love my kids and friends and I have fun and a genuine good time, but I still have this void that loss has given me. It can't be filled, it's just there, a part of me now, like a phantom limb. For me, I feel like it's the space he use to occupy, his life his presence his voice his light, in my mind in my heart in my soul, that's left vacant. I took my wedding ring off, but I still feel it on my finger sometimes, rubbing against my middle finger, and my thumb reaches over to fiddle with it, but the ring isn't there. Like the ring, I still feel him, but he's not there, he's missing, and instead there's an emptiness where he once was.
Betsy Shedd commented 2017-05-17 10:32:26 -0700Thank you for giving words to the immense feeling and all-consuming sense of "emptiness". Thank you for your posts. Every week, I take your hand and walk with you while I read your words. And you give me the courage to keep walking. In the emptiness…

If you are clinically defined as obese and cannot lose weight on your own, you might be a candidate for bariatric surgery.
This is a serious decision, one that requires not only adequate research, but ongoing discussions with your doctor. Here are the basic facts to consider before making an appointment to speak with your doctor about bariatric surgery.
What Is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery refers to weight loss surgery, which comes in a few varieties. According to the Mayo Clinic, one type seeks to reduce the amount of food you can eat, usually by decreasing the size of the stomach. The other variation reduces the amount of nutrients the body can absorb by altering the small intestine.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Bariatric surgery is usually a last resort, which means it takes a lot to qualify for this procedure. According to WebMD, most patients need to have a BMI of at least 40. However, it is possible to be considered a good candidate with a BMI of 30 or more if you have any weight-related conditions that are serious or life threatening. For example, if you have diabetes, severe sleep apnea, or debilitating arthritis, you have a chance of qualifying for bariatric surgery. Of course, you first need to show that you have already tried to lose the weight by dieting and exercising.
What Type of Doctor Performs the Procedure?
If you get bariatric surgery, you will need to work with a team of doctors, each with a different specialty. UpToDate reports that a bariatric surgeon will be in charge of the actual operation. But prior to surgery, you might meet with a counselor to make sure you are mentally prepared for the procedure. You can also expect to talk to a nutritionist so you are aware of the types and amounts of foods you can consume afterwards.
What Is the Recovery Period Like?
The Mayo Clinic asserts that you will likely not be permitted to eat for a day or two after surgery, since your stomach needs at least that amount of time to begin recovering. After that, you will most likely need to follow a special diet for up to 12 weeks, starting with liquids and working your way back to solid foods eventually. You can expect regular checkups with your doctor in the time following the surgery, especially during the first six months.
What Are the Side Effects?
The main side effects of surgery include weight loss and the inability to eat as much as you once could. However, you might also feel cold, tired, and moody during the first six months after the procedure. Nausea, vomiting, hernias, and infections are some possible complications that a minority of patients experience after bariatric surgery. More serious problems, such as blood clots and heart attacks, are possible, but rather rare.
For more information about talking to your doctor about your weight, read our Patient Guide for obesity.

The article can also be found on the Raiders Wire!
Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie went on radio to clear up some of the latest rumors, including that Raiders quarterback Derek Carr's "patience is wearing thin", per NFL Media's Mike Silver.
However, McKenzie doesn't see it that way. On 95.7 The Game this morning, he told JT the Brick, "We're going to make sure [Carr's] contract gets done . . . I want Derek to be a Raiders his entire career."
All the panic and worry amongst the NFL about Carr's contract is ludicrous. There is not another player in the league that is more valuable to their organization than Carr is to Oakland.
In addition, McKenzie told JT the Brick that the Raiders "want Derek and Derek wants to be here."
The interest is mutual and it is only a matter of time before a very lucrative contract is agreed upon.
