VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia — A sticky-fingered thief brazenly crashed a wedding and walked off with a pile of gifts intended for the bride and groom, cops said.
The heartless heist occurred at Rusty and Autumn Waddell's nuptials on May 6 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Virginia Beach, when a stranger wandered into the party.
The bride's mother thought the woman looked out of place and snapped a picture of her, but before anyone noticed, she had walked off with a pile of gifts, WTKR-TV reported.
"It's pretty wild on a person-to-person level," Rusty Waddell said. "I don't understand how you could do that, especially at a wedding."
He says it's not clear what the woman got away with as they hadn't opened any presents yet. Now, they are stuck having to call all their guests to ask what they had given.
"I think embarrassing is the word I would use," he said. "It's always hard to reach out to someone and ask them what gift they brought you."
But he said the worst part is that he and his bride's memories of their special day will always be a bit spoiled.
"We'll of course have the good memories from the party and hanging out with our friends and all that, but it's all going to lead down to the end of the night having to think back to the end of the wedding and someone stealing from us."

Thank you for sharing your work. I visited Dora's Digitals, but could not find the LDS train. The site may not be working as I could not even leave a comment. Maybe I am the one not understanding how to use the site. I like plain instructions, such as: "click here" or "download here" Thank you for making it easy for me to find.ReplyDelete
http://www.dorasdigitals.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2013-04-19T18:17:00-07:00&max-results=5 This is the link to Dora's. Her kit expired 4-30-2013. In a blog train designers may leave their kits up forever or may have them up for only a few days. They may have the blog train link to the specific blog train entry or they may have it only link to their blog so you have to search and search to find their content. Google Docs is a good way for me to share my files but once there you have to click File and Download to download a zip. I wish they just had a download option. However, they don't and I am just happy they are free.ReplyDelete

By Yossi Aloni / IsraelToday.com
June 23, 2013
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to play tour guide in a major televised tourism program under the direction of journalist and producer Peter Greenberg, known internationally for his "The Royal Tour" tourism programs on PBS and the Travel Channel.
Greenberg has put together a series of programs where he accompanies a head of state in a "guidebook" tour of his or her country. He has already filmed episodes with the king of Jordan, the presidents of Mexico and Peru, and the prime minister of New Zealand.
Filming began a year ago, but was halted for a time after Netanyahu suffered a light injury during a friendly soccer game between local Jewish and Arab teams. Filming and photography for the episode is expected to wrap next month.
The program gave Netanyahu an opportunity to present the bright side of the State of Israel to an estimated 300 million viewers around the world. Israel views the program as an important public relations and economic effort, as previous installments of the program resulted in up to a 10 percent increase in tourism for the host nation.
The goal is "to boost tourism to Israel and change country's image," said Netanyahu during the first day of shooting last year. "We will visit…Masada, the Dead Sea, the Technion, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv – all to show the true Israel, the Israel most don't get to see."
Greenberg added that "as more people see what this country has to offer, they will come. …It is an opportunity to present [the land] through Israel's eyes."

Jupiter square Jupiter
An overblown sense of proportion
While time and other resources -- like money -- could be a problem during this four-month transit, confidence should not. What does that mean for your love life? It means you should dream up a list of fun, quick and free or at least inexpensive dates, because you've got the confidence it takes to reach out to that special someone, but not a whole lot of time or money to lavish on them!
Meeting at an art gallery opening would be a great way to get to know someone new in a fun venue; hey, you can even get a free glass of wine to enjoy with your new potential sweetie. But if you have to dash out to go meet your next twenty-minute date, be discreet about it. You're overconfident now, and you might step on someone's toes without meaning to. Better yet, don't let your ego get the better of you. Just date one person at a time, and if you have to curtail expenses, so be it. In fact, taking a little break from the dating game might be a very good idea at this time. You need to figure out what you're really looking for in love, as your idea of romance and attraction could get serious out of whack at this time.

So you're thinking about getting long-term care insurance, trying to protect yourself from high costs as you grow older. This could be a very wise move, but it's important not to act too quickly. Take your time and ask all of the right questions first. These include the following:
1. What costs is the government going to cover, or what is going to be paid out to you from the government? Don't assume that they'll cover everything, but also don't overlook the coverage they do provide.
2. Will you need it at all? If you're not quite sure, remember that the majority of people over age 65--about 70 percent--need this care. If you can't afford it out of pocket, that's when insurance comes into play.
3. How much money do you have? This is important when considering government assistance, which is sometimes based on net worth. If your net worth is relatively low, you may not need insurance as badly as you think.
4. When is the best time to purchase a plan? It costs less if you're younger, naturally, but you're also less likely to need it.
5. What are the costs going to be? Do you know off the top of your head how much a nursing home costs? Most people don't, and it can be surprising. It's also important to look at the trends, especially if you're young. It's not likely to cost the same amount in ten years that it does today.
These questions can help you get started as you look into insurance and all legal aspects of long-term care in New York.

I've been casting a green eyed look over some of Sony's latest offerings in the photographic marketplace. Two compacts in particular. The HX100 bridge camera and the HX9 travel zoom. Which to choose? The bridge does have a faster lens at the wide angle and a longer 30x zoom. The HX9 has a wider 24mm lens though and fits in a pocket. Both have gotten rave reviews though.
Is it time to trade in my Olympus PEN? No, I still love the E-PL1. This is simply a case of wanting what I haven't got. Something I tend to do from time to time. But what I really want is a camera the size of the HX9 with a nice bright f1.8 lens, 20x zoom and, most importantly, a full sized sensor. It's the sensor size that counts most of all.
There are a few compacts around with a slightly larger sensor. Canon's S95 and G12, Olympus' XZ1 and Panasonics LX5. But the sensors are only slightly larger. And none of those are bridge cameras. What's holding these companies back from dropping a big sensor in a bridge camera? I"m far from convinced that there is a problem marrying the two from a technological point of view.
I suspect, although cannot prove, that a bridge camera with a huge lens and huge sensor would knock a big hole in the much more profitable DSLR market. Who'd go and spend $1200 on a DSLR with a range of lens that need a big bag to carry all that gear around in, when you could get something pretty much just as good for a third of the prize in one sensibly sized package?

Pretty in PinkTuesday, September 03, 2013
The plant however is easily infested by mealybugs at the roots as well as the leaves. Whatever I did (apply pesticide etc.) the bug keeps coming back. Still the plant had never fail to flourish well. At certain point, what I usually do is that I will cut back the plant leaving just the stumps. New shoots will either grow out from the soil below or from the stumps. The pic above shows new leaves after a few months of cutting back and they are larger in size than those before cutting!
My Siam Tulip, I have always enjoyed its blossoming inflorescences. I think they look a little like lotus - very pretty! They add pops of bright pink to the garden. The bloom you see in the pic below unfortunately was short-lived as the heavy rain that has been pouring and pouring smashed it ;-(
The Azalea flower that graced my porch didn't get to open fully, just half opened till it spent. I am not sure why but I think it is due to the cloudy sky. Anyone has this experience before?
Unlike other pink plants, my Rain Lilies are always in the pink of health :-) When not in bloom, the shiny green leaves are amazing! Last week, the two flowers that blossomed bent down so low coz when they were opening the rain came. But don't they look cute together like this?
And I am so happy to have spotted a flower from my Aster. The plant has not been flowering for some time now. The sight of its flower stalk made me glad :-D
My little Swan River Daisy shrub gave me a surprise! The little bloom is lovely, don't you think so? It had brightened up a rather gloomy morning that day when it appeared. Thank goodness this particular plant didn't wilt like the rest.
Earlier, I added another carnivorous plant into the pot where I am growing my Sundew. While I am still waiting for the plant to blush, I am happy that it actually can withstand and tolerate heavy rain and sun well (like the Sundew!).
Besides the Venus Fly Trap, I have also transplanted a pitcher plant into the same pot. I hope they are not too crowded though and looking forward to see many blushing pitchers... more pink in store soon!
Last but not least, I hope your plants are all in the pink and giving you much joy and surprises!

Steph, a few new ones on me - all lovely I should add.ReplyDelete
Might your azalea benefit from a wee feed. Azaleas grow well here in Scotland in shade so I'm not sure lack of sun may be the problem.Replies
Angie, yes it is really a highly adaptable plant when it comes to sunlight. Perhaps not fed enough. Thanks for pointing out :-DDelete

Pretty in pink, indeed ! The Rain lilies are bursting with health and happiness !ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes they are! Their bright and cheery blooms are amazing :-DDelete
My azalea died from neglect, because it was placed in a nook and nobody noticed it. I've always been tempted to buy the red Aglaonema from the nursery but the thought of battling with mealy bugs deterred me.ReplyDeleteReplies
Growing plants best for you and your garden is a good practice ;-)Delete
I've tried planting all sorts of plants, so what's left are the hardy ones. Primadonas are not my type :(Delete
Stilletto ElsieXie, aha... as we garden we will discover plants that we can grow well and those that we don't grow so well :-)Delete
Hi Stephany:) You probably know that Azalias like an acid soil! Might be worth checking this out if you didn't! Also Azalias like dappled shade not full shade,for flowers to bloom well.I agree with Angie about feeding.ReplyDelete
Isn't it wonderful when we see the first flower apear! Hope you see many more Swan River Daisies:))Replies
Hi Stephanie; colourful leaves give always a buzz to the green plants. Aglaonema is a beauty. Azalea half open I have not seen, I mainly grow the evergreen Rhododendron/ Azalea X; they do very well here in the subtropics. A complicated Climate. Sometimes very wet and humid and sometimes dry as a bone! Hot summer and cool winter. Always love and grow the rain lilies, which do well here too. Are you growing the white one as well? The pink ones are actually also a Hippeastrum species. Sundew I grow and loose in the ponds, get overgrown, my fault! It is such an intriguing plant to show to children. You have got a native visitor from Western Australia, the swan river daisy is a pretty little thing, very vigorous too. The used to be sky blue now they are hybridised in different colours, but I find the original does still grow best and nearly for ever! Thank you for your visits, I always appreciate your comments. T.ReplyDeleteReplies
No, I am not growing the white one. Wish I could but no space for another rain lily for now. That Western Australia visitor is from the same pot of swan river daisy I asked you for the ID earlier. Now, as you can see, this is one of the few short ones left growing. Wish it is as vigorous as it is in its native land. Points on Hippeastrum species and hybrid... thanks for sharing :-) Btw, I love visiting your blog/garden! You have extraordinary plants!!Delete
What's up with the NO COPy? I see nothing to be copy/paste...Do you?ReplyDeleteReplies
The warning is definitely not for someone nice like you, antigonum cajan :-)Delete

Deborah Gordon
At the Gordon lab at Stanford University, something most people consider a pest are the stars of the show. Dr. Deborah Gordon and her team study the collective behavior of ant colonies in settings around the world.
While still a graduate student she began studying red harvester ants in an area of New Mexico and has continued to study these colonies for close to thirty years. With this dedication to these particular colonies she was able to trace the parentage of four generations of groups of ants from one original queen. What is fascinating is that these colonies are so spread apart they have no interactions but they behave in similar manners in terms of resource management.
When resources are scarce these ants use a system for managing foraging that the researchers at the Gordon lab have dubbed the "Anternet" as the process resembles the way the early internet controlled the flow of data. This and other observed behaviors are based on the interactions of ants as a collective, there is no one ant in charge of a colony instead the individuals use smell to produce a network. This network has been proposed to work similar to the human brain with the ants mimicking neurons, and perhaps differences in human brains could be due to similar resource management styles of different types of colonies.
Gordon's work has also looked at how ants use expandable search networks that change depending on the number of ants present and the size of the area they are searching. The idea of collective searching has been proposed for use in robotics for exploration of other planets as well as search and rescue efforts.
In 2014 Dr. Gordon designed an experiment that was sent to the International Space Station to see what effects microgravity have on the collective search efforts of ants and the results of that study were published in 2015. At the same time a citizen science project was launched designed to engage students in collaborative study of ants with others around the world.

State police confirmed that they are investigating four separate incidents involving an off-duty trooper from Easton.
The probe of a state police trooper from Easton who allegedly drove the wrong way on Memorial Drive has grown to include three other incidents since he was sworn into office less than four months ago.
Several incidents potentially involved alcohol, spokesman David Procopio said.
Adam Paicos, 29, is currently on restricted duty – his weapon, cruiser and all state police identification has been taken away from him, Procopio said.
Paicos was sworn in as a trooper in March. At about 2 a.m. on April 3, he was seen driving the wrong way on Memorial Drive, state police said. Procopio said two other state troopers who saw the incident found Paicos in a parking lot.
"No law enforcement action was taken against him," said Procopio. "We're investigating Trooper Paicos behavior and also the decisions made by the officers who located him and whether it should have been handled differently or more appropriately."
Since the April 3 incident, three other incidents, all involving Paicos when he was off duty, have come to the attention of state police investigators, WCVB-TV reported.
Procopio said two involved Paicos' own vehicle and the fourth "involves a potential violation of State Police policy and procedures."
Paicos, a 2001 graduate of Oliver Ames High School in Easton and an Army National Guard member who served in Iraq, was a part-time police officer in Easton from August 2006 to January 2008. He is the son of former Easton town administrator and now Foxboro town manager Kevin Paicos.
Paicos' lawyer, Daniel Moynihan, called the investigation "a witch hunt that has spun out of control,"
He told WCVB-TV that he did not know if his client had been drinking when any of the incidents under investigation took place.
Procopio said that the investigation should be completed by the end of the week.

A group of hospitality veterans is reviving and reinventing both the Newmarket Hotel and the landlord rule book, embracing insightful investment.
Leisure Investment North Queenland (LINQ) Hotel Management is fronted by Richard Mraz, who arranged purchase of the freehold property from incumbent Toula Cassimatis in a fire-sale situation in September.
After several offers to buy falling through, the vendor and agents Cusack Real Estate were preparing to go to auction when a whirlwind inspection and offer from LINQ sealed the deal.
Ms Cassimatis was involved in a legal dispute with the former lessee since 2013, and the property was in poor condition. LINQ identified its "bones" as in line with their plans, and purchased with every intention of a top-to-bottom makeover and "full gentrification" of the pub, built in the 1930s.
The swift purchase and determined plans, including recent installation of 2.5 tonnes of solar panels on the roof, are the result of two years' research by the Group and consideration of assets in Rockhampton, Bundaberg, Mackay, Cairns and Townsville.
Townsville was seen as particularly prime for success, with massive investment in infrastructure and residential development, and being a strategic stronghold of the armed forces.
Working toward staying involved with the business, FINQ will not run the pub, but seeks to optimise operations toward better profits for everyone.
"When I walked through, it was literally five minutes," says Mraz. "I'd never seen the hotel before. I could see the structure of the building, the era, the vastness … it is actually a beautiful hotel.
"We're going right through it. We're looking at every aspect of the business. Power consumption is not just air-conditioning, it's also in the cool room. How do we make them more efficient? We're looking at every element, thinking 'how do we put some capital in to get the running costs down?'"
Sub-tropical areas such as Townsville spend a fortune on power keeping things cool, but sensible investment in an old structure can also reduce labour and servicing costs, and more.
LINQ plans to stay close with the right operator, and negotiate a profit-share arrangement for rent. The thought is to capitalise on the benefits of the capital works, and allow a profitable business to be sustained even in lean times.
"What that means is that LINQ hotel management will actively be involved in the success of the hotel," explains Mraz. "We're not the passive freehold owner.
"We have to rebuild the business model from scratch, and the time is right to do that."

The Christian and Government Part 2 - Submission and Prayer
March 29, 2016 by Jason Tyrell 0 comments
This is part two of what will end up being a 4 part series on the Christian and government. Part 1 was a reminder that our ultimate hope is in a Kingdom that is not of this world. In part 3, I will write about how Christians can live godly lives under different governing systems. In part 4, I will try to help us think through how to be educated voters.
Today's post is a call to remember what New Testament writers generally encourage us to as it relates to the governing authorities - submission and prayer. We live in a time where it easier than ever to publicly vent all of our frustrations and problems with government and with particular governing officials. If you watch political coverage on TV, chances are that you will be encouraged to feel distrust and even hatred for certain men and women who hold office. Make no mistake about it, there are corrupt officials and poor government aplenty here in America and around the world! But we do well to take to heart the words of Paul and Peter.
"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God." -Romans 13:1
"...I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." -1 Timothy 2:1-4
"Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors sent by him to punish those who do evil and praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people." -1 Peter 2:13-15
Submission and prayer. We are called to these two things as it pertains to our governing authorities. Do we pray for those over us? Paul says to Timothy that we should pray for those in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. It is a good thing to pray that our leaders might lead us well. It is a good thing to pray that they would have wisdom from the Lord in governing us. We are reminded in Proverbs that "The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He will." But we also are to pray for them because guess what? Just as much as God has a people from every nation, tribe, and tongue, He also is in the business of saving governing officials through faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ! Christians can be guilty of dehumanizing our authority figures. We think of them as characters playing a part (which might be the case at times, maybe they have sacrificed who they are for political gain. But the call to prayer is the same). These are eternal souls first and foremost, and when we judge them unworthy of the grace of God, we make the statement that we were more desirable, more worthy when the Lord saved us. God, forgive us for forgetting the depravity of our own souls and then considering others "worse" than us! We can read the gospel accounts and marvel at the cold heartlessness of the Pharisees toward the "sinners," but do we look upon our governing officials in the same way? Since we know the vastness of the mercy of God and His grace through Jesus Christ, and since we desire to live under peaceful and kind rulers, we must pray for them!
We also are called to submit to them. Submission by definition is to put yourself under someone, and that becomes especially difficult when you do not agree with the one you are under. Make no mistake about it, there is much to disagree with in our government! But the same was true for those to whom Paul and Peter were writing. Some of the folks they were writing to lived under oppressive governments who were hostile to the faith. Yet they were called to a posture of submission. Submission looks different in America today than it does under dictators and kings, because we have a representative government. We get to have a voice in the process. We can even aspire to take on roles on the government with the hope of being a godly influence. We will talk more about this in part 4. But no matter what the government, given the fact that our kingdom is not of this world, we are called to humbly submit.
At this point you might be saying, "How can I submit to a crooked government that seems to be anti-Christian?" You can submit to them in the same way that Jesus did when He said "...render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Wherever the governing authorities are not directly forcing you to do something that dishonors God, you can be in full submission. Where the governing authorities try to force you to dishonor God, submission is not required. Peter and John exemplified this in Acts 4 when they were told to stop preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Their response to the council in Jerusalem was "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard." Our submission is first and foremost to our great God, and then to those who govern us.
Brothers and sisters, while it is virtually uncertain that we will ever have a government on this earth that we are in complete agreement with, we most certainly can glorify God in the midst by praying for our leaders, submitting to them, and holding fast to the word of life, the gospel of Jesus Christ!

[... Till Now]
10th March, 9.00 AM, Richmond
The guy in that store was from sub continent. I asked for mobile recharge, he waited for another customer to left and then told me in Hindi, "Hna, aab batao kya karna hain?"
There was confusion about the recharge which I explained. He was not very sure, then he called someone named Jitubhai and said, "Inha ek Bhai aya hain…" and explained the issue. Finally he could not help and ask me to be sure before recharging as even if the recharge does not happen $70 will be anyway deducted and could not be refunded.
His accent was Gujrati but he later told me that his name was Aziz, and he is a Pakistani and his parents were Indian! He was surprised to know that I am a Bengali because apparently my Hindi/Urdu was very good and also said "Abar dekha hobe" when I was leaving.
|[The evening skyline]
It felt wonderful. I may be wrong but even I had experienced this same thing in Sydney too. Outside India/Pakistan, generally Indians and Pakistanis just behave like they are from the same country! I absolutely loved that.
Just roam around a bit, watched the evening to grow in Innsbrooke and had dinner in this Thai Restaurant with chicken and shrimp. The evening was chilly so went inside pretty soon. Sekar called and talked to him for some time and then researched a lot for possible travel plan on Sunday.
Unfortunately, I can't go to Washington DC now, as all suitable trains were full; I was too late to book the tickets. So alternatively I decided to roam around Richmond, go to Downtown and Belle Isle.
It was a cold night and even in the morning the temperature is pretty low. It's around 2 degree now and expected to be around 14 post noon. This is the story till now; I hope to write another portion tonight before my office starts tomorrow.
From tomorrow the plan is to wake up around 6 and finish breakfast around 7 to reach the office by 7.30. Let see how it goes.

Raman spectroscopy has already proved its effectiveness in many cases for medical diagnostics such as for cancer, cardiovascular diseases and infections. However, there are no standards in the different working groups, e.g. for sample preparation, implementation of the Raman experiments, spectra pre-treatment, data evaluation, etc.In a round robin experiment, the required groundwork will take place in order to define standardised Raman measurement methods, which will be fundamental for establishing Raman spectroscopy for clinical diagnostic procedures.
Continuing the success of the previous meetings held in Sacramento, Ottawa, Jena, and Florence, the 5th conference will come to Perth, Western Australia, running over two full days, and back-to-back with the Science on the Swan medical research conference, which delegates are strongly encouraged to also attend, at discounted rates.

The Essential Laws of Tips Explained
Importance Of Having To Sell Your House Fast To A Local Real Estate Investor There are a lot of benefits associated with selling your home to an investor especially when you are looking for someone who can give you fast money. They are available whenever you need them, but you need to consult a realtor that you trust for them to give you a guideline. The first thought that comes into people's heads as getting their houses listed on a realtor's website which might not give them fast money as expected. Most investors want to buy houses at a lower price so they will not want you to carry out a lot of innovations because they would rather do it alone. It is an option that most people should consider taking since investors have the money ready to buy and it will not take them long. Unlike a prospective buyer who wants perfection, an investor sees an opportunity in there. Investors are the saviors most people are looking for and their services are valued by many because they have helped a lot of people save time and still sell their homes. Since you are not paying them at all you get to save on the commission you could have spent paying an agent, and there are no hidden chargers while dealing with an investor. Investors can make use of an inherited house and still know the right places to dispose of those items.
The Essential Laws of Tips Explained
It is not all times that selling items to an investor makes sense so you must be armed with information to know when it will not be beneficial. Cleaning should not bother you since investors do not need much as long as the house is intact and still in good shape, they can do the rest without too much struggle. When you are not in the mood if cleaning your old house, you can leave it as it is because investors do not need much and are willing to do the work.
Lessons Learned About Sales
Investors are saviors and the right deal for most people as long as you choose the right one since they fall into a lot of categories. They will give you the money but not the same as how much you house is worth in the market within that period and some of the things that influence the amount they give you is the location and how the market in that area works. If they want to sell the home, their budget will be lower and they expect you to fit in it so that they can afford to sell.

- Study: E-cigarettes do not help people trying to give up (Telegraph.co.uk)
- E-cigarettes 'not helping cancer patients to quit smoking' (Medical News Today)
- E-cigarettes 'make cancer patients more nicotine dependent' (Daily Mail)
Thankfully there has also been more balanced headlines, that also includes some criticism of the study, like this one from Reuters for example:
- Study of smoking cancer patients fuels e-cigarette debate
Dr. Siegel has (once again) done a great job analyzing what's wrong with this study: http://goo.gl/58sXkL. And of course there is something very, very wrong with it. The conclusion that e-cigarettes don't help smoking cancer patients quit just makes no sense at all. We know that e-cigarettes help a lot of normal smokers quit (http://goo.gl/17Ocyn), why the hell shouldn't it help cancer patients? I suggest you read Dr. Siegel's analysis. It explains pretty well what exactly they did wrong, or more likely what they failed to cover up. I don't have access to the full study, so I'll have to trust the comments of (more competent) others that I assume have read the study:
Dr. Robert West, director of tobacco research at University College London:
"the study was not able to assess whether or not for cancer patients who smoke using an e-cigarette to try and quit is beneficial "because the sample could consist of e-cigarette users who had already failed in a quit attempt, so all those who would have succeeded already would be ruled out."
Peter Hajek, director of the Tobacco Dependence Research Unit at Queen Mary, University of London:So in other words, they haven't counted the ones that successfully quit by using e-cigarettes, when trying to figure out whether e-cigarettes work or not. One user commenting on Dr. Siegels blog has this to say about it: The methodology used reminds me of High School chemistry labs. Everyone knew what the results were supposed to be and you fudged the numbers doing the experiments so it came out "correct". I couldn't agree more. How is it even possible to get such a study published? I'd like to quote a fellow blogger, James from the Ashtray blog:
"The authors followed up smokers who tried e-cigarettes but did not stop smoking, and excluded smokers who tried e-cigarettes and stopped smoking. Like smokers who fail with any method, these were highly dependent smokers who found quitting difficult. The authors concluded that e-cigarette (use) was not helpful, but that would be true for any treatment however effective if only treatment failures were evaluated."
There are bad studies, really bad studies - and then this

Florida Panthers Fire Head Coach Dineen, Assistants, Possible Changes in Locker Room to Come
The Florida Panthers announced today that head coach Kevin Dineen, assistant coach Gord Murphy, and assistant coach Craig Ramsay have been relieved of their coaching duties. Dale Tallon has made it clear this is only the first of many changes to come for the 3-9-4 Panthers.
"After 16 games it was clear that our team needed a change in philosophy and direction," said Tallon. "We have not met the expectations that we set forth at training camp and it is my responsibility to make the necessary changes to ensure that our club performs at its maximum potential. We thank Kevin, Gord and Craig for their hard work and dedication to our organization and the professionalism that they displayed throughout their tenure."
Tallon expressed that Florida's problems extend beyond coaching and said in a conference call today "Our better players have to start playing better or we will get better players." He also admitted that he has been talking "with numerous teams" discussing trade possibilities.
"We want people who want to be Panthers and if they don't want to be Panthers, we'll accommodate them," he said. "I'm dissatisfied with the effort from most of the guys and they need to be better."
Tallon "accommodated" players like Nathan Horton, who expressed he didn't want to be here, when he became General Manager in 2010. His philosophy in Chicago and here in Florida has been to keep players who want to be a part of the organization.
Florida has called up Peter Horachek from the AHL's San Antonio Rampage to serve as the interim head coach. Former Panthers Brian Skrudland and John Madden have been named assistant coaches.
Tallon said Dineen's and the coaching staff's message was no longer getting through to the players, blaming some in the locker room for the problem.
"If the players don't respond to this, well, they won't be Panthers for very long," he said.

Between 1938 and 1948, Edward Weston took the last photographs of his illustrious career, most of them at Point Lobos or at his home in the Carmel Highlands of northeast California. The first photographs of this period were not just details, still lifes, or landscapes, as he had done before, but vistas, horizons, waves, and atmospheres of mood. The majority of the 75 photographs for this exhibition will be drawn from the collections at The Art Institute of Chicago and the University of California at Santa Cruz.
Here are more of the latest publications from the Art Institute, perfect primers for your visit:

GOP lawmaker suggests armed Jews could have stopped Nazis
WASHINGTON — Jewish people would have been able to fend off the Nazis if not for gun-control laws imposed by the Third Reich, Rep. Don Young, a Republican from Alaska, argued last week.
"How many millions were shot and killed because they were unarmed?" Young asked at an event in Juneau, Alaska, before answering his own question. "Fifty million in Russia because their citizens were unarmed. How many Jews were put into the ovens because they were unarmed?"
Young's words, offered in response to a question about guns in the wake of the Parkland, Fla., high school shootings earlier this month, drew criticism from the Anti-Defamation League, a national organization that aims to counter anti-Semitism.
"Guns, or lack of them, did not cause the Holocaust," the ADL wrote on Twitter. "The Holocaust was the product of anti-Semitism & other forms of hate. It's offensive for anyone to manipulate the history of the Holocaust to score political points."
But Young, who is the longest serving member of the House, isn't the first politician to float this Holocaust hypothesis, nor is it the first time the 84-year-old has gotten himself in hot water with commentary that roiled a minority group.
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson made the same assertion, which has been embraced by conservative gun defenders for years, on the presidential campaign trail in 2015.
"I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed," Carson said in an interview. "I'm telling you there is a reason these dictatorial people take guns first."
PolitiFact, fact checking Carson's statement at the time, rated the claim that gun control laws enabled Nazis to carry out the Holocaust "false."
The House Natural Resources Committee, of which Young is chairman emeritus, also caused a small stir last year when it invited Stephen Halbrook, author of "Gun Control in the Third Reich," to testify on legislation that would eliminate a $200-per-unit tax on silencers to one equal to 10 percent of the value of the device, and loosen restrictions on transporting hunting and fishing equipment on federal lands.
In 2013, Young was forced to apologize after he referred to migrant workers as "wetbacks" in a radio interview.
Then-House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, called his comment "beneath the dignity of the office he holds."
Young, first elected in 1972, became the "dean of the House" — the chamber's longest-serving member — in December, following the resignation of then-Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich.
He was congratulated on the House floor by Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in January when lawmakers paused legislative business to honor his accomplishment.

JAMESTOWN — The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority suspended an American flag from the Pell Bridge that connects Jamestown and Newport for a short period of time on Friday, but the flag was taken down when it developed a tear.
"The flag was hung Friday morning from the west tower of the bridge with the intention of flying this flag through the Memorial Day weekend," RITBA said in a press release late Friday. "Once the tear was detected, out of respect for the flag, it was taken down."
Land of the free, because of the brave. Remembering and honoring the sacrifices of our U.S. military this Memorial Day weekend by hanging a flag from the #NewportPellBridge tower for the first time. pic.twitter.com/S52BgLF3Xa— RITBA (@RIEZPASS) May 25, 2018// // //
Although the flag flew only for a short period of time, RITBA said it received a number of calls and accolades for displaying the American flag in "such a prominent location."
RITBA said it will continue to display flags on the state's bridges during significant American holidays and celebrations, including Flag Day, Independence Day, Victory Day, Labor Day and Veterans Day. A flag was suspended from the Mount Hope Bridge during June 2017.

Rescue Hillcrest challenges developers and their lobbyist
Gateway lobbyist submits "rebuttal"
Rescue Hillcrest responds - Honesty should be the best policy
I could spend a lot of time exposing the obvious misdirections in Ms. Robinson's rebuttal: Her arguing about density using maps based on proposed densities rather than maps showing existing conditions. Or her ignoring that the Interim Height Ordinance was the result of the community soundly rejecting the 100- and 200-foot heights allowed in the old plan, and the continued desire of almost every community group to maintain its limits. Or her repeated assertion that the massive development Gateway proposes will automatically result in affordable housing, despite evidence elsewhere to the contrary, unanswered questions from the press, and Gateway's own letter to the city that argued against "restrictions such as affordable housing requirements or open space requirements which would reduce land value."
Instead I'd rather bring attention to the use of climate action to promote the pro-developer agenda.
As I mentioned in my guest editorial, the lobbyist behind the Gateway group is the same as behind One Paseo, Marcela Escobar-Eck.
Ms. Escobar-Eck was also the City of San Diego's Director of Development Services when the Sunroad developer was allowed to cut back on parking since it is near transit—which is what is proposed for Hillcrest. And since Hillcrest already meets the ten accepted principles of smart growth, except for a deficit of green space and parks, there has yet to be an explanation of how development in Hillcrest doesn't already fit the Climate Action Plan.
Ms. Escobar-Eck is also, along with the developer who wrote up Gateway's "financial feasibility" study, Gary London, on the board of Circulate San Diego. Circulate San Diego has a history of its associates taking public positions in conflict of interest and has endorsed one of their employees, Maya Rosas, for election to the board of Uptown Planners next Tuesday. Ms. Rosas is also an employee of the Gateway's paid lobbyist, the Atlantis Group. I would be remiss not to mention that Ms. Robinson is also running for the board.
When you consider that Circulate San Diego was also instrumental in crafting the Climate Action Plan—and endorsing One Paseo—and that the former Deputy Director of Circulate San Diego, Elyse Lowe, is the current Deputy Director of Project Submittal and Management for the City of San Diego, the real purpose of the Climate Action Plan becomes suspect.
All of which begs the question: Who is the city listening to—the community, or a developers' special interest group?

For an extraordinary inland waterways cruising experience in 2013, European Waterways is offering a special six-week voyage of a lifetime from Provence to Holland through several countries and historic cities along some of Europe's great rivers, including the Rhone, Seine and Rhine, as well as many other picturesque waterways.
This 1,000 mile cruise on the 12-passenger luxury hotel barge L'Impressionniste is a wonderful combination of cruising, sightseeing and city tours, discovering the regional cultures, cuisine and wines of Provence, Beaujolais, Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace, the Moselle & Rhine valleys.
The holiday will take you along some of Europe's great rivers including the Rhone, Seine, Moselle and Rhine.
The departure is from Avignon on Sunday 3rd November and arrives in Amsterdam on Saturday 14th December.
What else would you want to do when the winter starts again? Our only problem is… would six week on a barge actually turn out to be rather boring in itself? The last time we took such a trip it was with school and our editor fell in to the water.
Prices vary according to the number of passengers aboard (minimum eight passengers).
If you're interested in this idea, more information, visit http://www.gobarging.com or call 01753 598555.

I Know Why Poor Whites Chant Trump, Trump, Trump
From the era of slavery to the rise of Donald Trump, wealthy elites have relied on the loyalty of poor whites. All Americans deserve better.
I'm just a poor white trash motherfucker. No one cares about me.
met the man who said those words while working as a bartender in the Ozark Mountains of northwest Arkansas. It was a one-street town in Benton County. It had a beauty parlor, a gas station, and a bar where locals came on Friday nights to shoot the shit over cheap drinks and country music. I arrived in Arkansas by way of another little town in Louisiana, where all but a few local businesses had boarded up when Walmart moved in. In Arkansas, I was struggling to survive. I served drinks in the middle of the afternoon to people described as America's "white underclass" — in other words, people just like me.
Across the highway from the bar was the trailer park where I lived. I bought my trailer for $1000, and it looked just like you would imagine a trailer that cost $1000 would look. There was a big hole in the ceiling, and parts of the floor were starting to crumble under my feet. It leaned to one side, and the faint odor of death hung around the bathroom. No doubt a squirrel or a rat had died in the walls. I told myself that once the flesh was gone, dissolved into the nothingness, the smell would go away, but it never did. Maybe that's what vermin ghosts smell like.
I loved that trailer. Sitting in a ratty brown La-Z-Boy, I would look around my tin can and imagine all the ways I could paint the walls in shades of possibility. I loved it for the simple reason that it was the first and only home I have ever owned.
My trailer was parked in the middle of Walmart country, which is also home to J.B. Hunt Transportation, Glad Manufacturing, and Tyson Chicken. There is a whole lot of money in that pocket of Arkansas, but the grand wealth casts an oppressive shadow over a region entrenched in poverty. Executive mansions line the lakefronts and golf courses. On the other side of Country Club Road, trailer parks are tucked back in the woods. The haves and have-nots rarely share the same view, with one exception: politics. Benton County has been among the most historically conservative counties in Arkansas. The last Democratic president Benton County voted for was Harry S. Truman, in 1948.
There is an unavoidable question about places like Benton County, a question many liberals have tried to answer for years now: Why do poor whites vote along the same party lines as their wealthy neighbors across the road? Isn't that against their best interests?
Ask a Republican, and they'll probably say conservatives are united by shared positions on moral issues: family values, religious freedom, the right to life, the sanctity of marriage, and, of course, guns.
Ask a Democrat the same question, and they might mention white privilege, but they're more likely to describe conservatives as racist, sexist, homophobic gun nuts who believe Christianity should be the national religion.
But what if those easy answers are two sides of the same political coin, a coin that keeps getting hurled back and forth between the two parties without ever shedding light on the real, more complicated truth?

We would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much we appreciated the way in which the refinancing on our home was handled by our loan officer. He did his very best to make this process as easy as possible for us. He made the trip to our home to talk to us at our convenience and let us know the process we would be going through... He also got the closing close to our home so we would not have a long drive... He was referred to us by friends and we are very thankful for that. We will definitely refer him to anyone who needs his expertise. Please thank him again for us.

Men's discus heats up26 July 2002The first round of the discus takes place under a blazing sun at Manchester.
Bob Weir: "I'm not going to make any predictions."
Olympic bronze medallist Frantz Kruger of South Africa completed discus qualifying over six metres ahead of his rivals with a score of 66.25 metres at the City of Manchester Stadium.
His nearest rival was Canada's Jason Tunks (59.87), a bronze medallist at the last Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur.
England's Glen Smith made third place (59.30) with his compatriot Bob Weir fourth (59.14).
After the session Weir commented: All I wanted to do was get the qualifying out of the way. Now I can look forward to the final. Im not going to make any predictions. You never know what might happen. Im just going to compete as hard as I can.

yesterday in a quick review
Hello! Last night I was so very super tired that I fell asleep while riding my bike. (I fell asleep! Can you imagine that??!) So, as soon as I found my bed, I passed out. It was a good thing that I wasn't late for Kurpem class. Phew...
What happened yesterday? Well, here is some recap...
I Went to Angkasa High School for an observation
Together with Ian, Entin, Day, Mira, and Jaka, I did an observation regarding the management of KTSP for the Management of Education class. It went pretty smooth because Ian is an alumni. The students were co-operative too. Huzzah! Doing the field research was fun, but when it came to make the paper... yeah, you know what happened next :p
Mr Boyfriend Joined a Debate Competition in UIN Sultan Gunung Djati
He was supposed to go with us to Angkasa since he's a member of our group, but due to this competition, he couldn't make it. I was pretty sure he and his team would win the competition. BUT (I had to type it in all caps, because...) it sucked. The committee sucked. Mr Boyfriend wrote a long note in Facebook about this, but I guess I'll just sum it up with my own words.
The committee didn't know what a 'debate competition' was. They thought it was some sort of speech contest, only in groups of three. Why? Because the (so-called) adjudicators didn't say anything about the participants' argumentations when they delivered the comments. They only commented on the participants' grammar, pronunciation, expression, eye-contact, yada yada yada... I'm not a debater. I'm not a member of EDC. But I know the basic rules. The position of adjudicators should be filled by those who are expert in debating, not teachers like the adjudicators in this competition. And the most important factor in debate is the argumentation, duh!
It was crazy. Our team walked out of the competition. They learnt a lesson, though, to NEVER join Saeed debatecompetition EVER AGAIN.
There. I've said it.
I Got Bruises on My Right Arm
I slipped and almost fell down. Luckily, I got my right hand to grab the door frame. Unluckily, my arm smashed pretty hard on it and now I got bruises there. It takes a long time for my body to heal bruises. I'm lucky to never have any bruise on my face. If I did, I would look miserable for weeks!
Mr Boyfriend had Pempek Kulit for Dinner
So, apparently, this is how a Sundanese eats Pempek. With spoon and fork! :p
(No offense to Sundanese people and/or Mr Boyfriend)
That was my yersterday. How was yours?
