Overall Care of Tires are Important for the Vehicle
The vehicle will need to have the tires inspected regularly for it. They are the only part of the vehicle that touches the road, so it is important to keep them in the best condition. There should be a regular schedule that you follow. This includes tire alignment, tire rotation, and even checking the air pressure. We will be able to provide you the schedule that your vehicle needs in order for the tires to be inspected and examined properly.
Full Inspections
If you notice an issue with a tire or all the tires, make sure to call us to bring the vehicle in. This way we will be able to look at them correctly to make sure that they are able to operate efficiently as you drive. If you feel any odd movement like bumps or pulls, it could be an issue with the tire. It may also be an issue with the brakes. We will look it over for the issue to ensure your vehicle gets back to being safe and reliable again.
Air Pressure
Each tire should be looked at carefully. The air pressure will need to be at the proper amount. You can find this amount in the owner's manual for the vehicle, as well as by contacting us. The proper air pressure allows the tires to rotate evenly and correctly. Tires that are too low or have too much air have a chance of blowing out or going flat. If the tire loses pressure too often, it is an indication of an air leak in it. When this occurs, it is always best to have it repaired as soon as you can. This will reduce the chance of an unexpected breakdown as well. Always remember to check the spare tire, as you will need this in the case of an emergency.
Drive with Care this Summer
When you own a car, you will want to keep it in the best condition. This will help to ensure you get to where you need to go. You will want to make sure that you bring your vehicle in for regular maintenance tasks. This can include things like oil changes, having a fluid flush, rotating tires, or other things as well. If you are not sure how often or when to bring your vehicle in, contact us and we can advise you on a schedule. This will help to keep your vehicle in the best condition possible.
Unusual Driving of the Vehicle
You should always make sure to notice anything unusual when driving your vehicle. If there is something out of the norm, make sure to contact us. We can recommend how it should be handled. If there is a repair needed, we can do so to help get you back on the road. When an odd noise or sound occurs, this can mean that a part is wearing out. Ideally you will want to know when certain parts of the vehicle should be replaced. Knowing this can help reduce the chance of an unexpected breakdown.
Inspecting the Tires
The tires will also need an inspection. They should be checked for the proper air inflation that they require. The tires should also have tread looked at to ensure they are at an ideal depth. If the tread has worn, then the tire is no longer in the best condition possible. You will also notice the tires do not have the grip that they used to. Proper tread will help to keep control of the vehicle on wet or slick roads. You will also notice that the vehicle does not drift or slide either. The tires will also need to be inspected for their overall condition. If there is a bulge in the tire, you will want to have us inspected it.
Winter Weather Care for your Car
Having your vehicle properly maintained is important for the overall condition and efficiency of your vehicle when you drive. Following the regular schedule is important to keep all the parts working completely with one another. When there is an issue, the problem can spread to other parts of the vehicle as well. This is why if you hear an odd noise, always make sure to contact us. With a full bumper-to-bumper inspection, we can figure out what the problem might be for your vehicle.
The tires should be checked on a regular basis as well. There needs to be proper air pressure in each one. If you feel the vehicle pulling in one direction or another, it could be that the tires are low on that side. Make sure that you check all four for the right amount. If your vehicle has a spare tire, it is recommended that it is checked as well. If an issue occurs to one of your tires, you will probably need to use the spare to get you safely home or to have it replaced.
Also make sure that you check the fluids on a regular basis to ensure they are in the best condition and will work efficiently. Oil that looks like sludge or is full of grime will no longer be efficient. You will want to follow the oil change schedule to help ensure the most efficient and cleanest oil can be in your vehicle when you need it to operate. Also remember to check the oil filter of your vehicle. The oil passes through this so it can capture pollutants that are in the oil. Every other oil change is the best time to fully replace the oil filter as well.
Proper Tire Care by having a Tire Rotation
The tires are an important part for the vehicle. They will keep the vehicle handling smoothly and with contact with the surface of the road. If the vehicle is rough riding in or handling on the road, the tires could be at fault. To make sure this is not the case, you will need to have the tires properly inspected. Checking for an issue will help determine what is wrong, and how to fix it.
Proper Alignment
The tires will need to be properly aligned and rotated as well. When this is done, the tires can be in the best working condition to keep your vehicle traveling properly. If there is an issue, we will look at them. A vehicle that needs a tire alignment may pull or drift in one direction or the other when you drive. You will notice that it is difficult to handle because it will not drive straight. We can also recommend the proper schedule for having the tires aligned or rotated. This can help to make sure that the parts are wearing correctly against one another.
Visual Check of Tires
You can also make sure that the tires are wearing correctly by a visual inspection. If the tires need to be aligned or rotated, you will notice that tread is wearing incorrectly against one another. The tread can be measured by taking a penny and placing it upside down in the tread of each tire in order to calculate the tread depth. The typical rule to follow is if you can see the top of Lincoln's head, then you will need to have the tread replaced. You can also bring the vehicle in and we can check and examine each tire. If there is an issue we will review all the possible scenarios you have in order to fix it. By having good tires, you will be able to drive safety and comfortably.
Having an Efficient Vehicle to Drive
Keeping your vehicle in the most ideal driving condition is important. Without a properly operating vehicle, you may have an unexpected breakdown or be stranded somewhere. Pay attention for any odd sounds, noises, smells, or how it handles, because you will notice an issue this way. By noticing an issue at the first sign, you can help prevent further problems in the long run. Make sure that your vehicle is in regularly for proper maintenance inspections. These include things like oil changes, tires rotations, and fluid flushes. If you are not sure how often to bring your vehicle in, we can advise you on it.
Change Oil
The oil should be inspected based on the recommended intervals by the manufacturer or us. Oil changes help keep the engine operating in the best condition it can. This keeps the engine and other moving components clean and properly lubricated. By doing this, it allows them to not cause wear against one another. It will also help keep your vehicle operating efficiently. If the oil is old and murky, it will need to be changed because it will lubricate the engine..
Check Fluids
The other fluids can be checked at the same time as the oil because they are located under the hood as well. This can include transmission fluid, windshield washer fluid, and coolant. The fluids should be at the line indicated on the reservoir for each one. A leak is indicated by one having to be refilled often. Make sure to contact us and we can inspect the vehicle and system for you.
Inspect Tires
Check the tires as well. The condition of the tires is important. This is because they are the part that makes direct contact with the surface of the road. Check the air pressure for the tires. Also check the tread wear on the tires as well. If the tread is low, you will not have the proper grip the tire needs because they need to grip wet roads. This will cause you to hydroplane. If there is an issue, bring the vehicle in and we can inspect it for you.
The Belts and Hoses of your Car
Regular maintenance is important for your vehicle. If you are not sure how often to have it brought in, contact us. We can advise you on the proper schedule for you and your vehicle. We can inspect the various parts of the vehicle to ensure they are working correctly with one another. This can include belts, hoses, tires, fluids, and other parts.
Timing Belt
The timing belt is a notched rubber belt that allows the crankshaft to turn the camshaft. The camshaft opens and closes the valves in synchronized movement with the engine's pistons. If the timing belt breaks, your engine will stop working and typically will cause major engine damage. That's why it's important to have your timing belt regularly inspected. If the belt is loose or has slipped the valves could open at the wrong time and be struck by your engine's pistons. Be aware if you hear and slapping noise coming from your engine. This would indicate a slipped belt.
Serpentine Belt
Serpentine belts provide power to the air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, cooling fan, air injection pump, and more. If your vehicle's serpentine belt breaks, all of the engine parts it is powering will stop working. This could cause the engine could overheat and be damaged. We can check for any signs of cracks, wear, and stripping to determine if your serpentine belt is in danger of failing.
Coolant hoses include the upper and lower radiator hoses plus heater hoses. The hoses provide a flexible connection for coolant flow from the engine, radiator, engine and heating block. Tiny cracks can form from the inside that can eventually lead to a burst hose and overheated engine. If you notice an issue with the belts or hoses, make sure to schedule an appointment with us. We can inspect the vehicle and other parts to ensure it is operating efficiently.
The Electrical System of your Vehicle
The vehicle's electrical system consists of the battery, starter, and alternator. The battery provides the power to the starter. Then the alternator gives the battery energy it needs to power the vehicle. If one of the parts is not working properly, your vehicle will not start or may not run correctly. If you notice a dashboard warning light, it can indicate a more severe issue. Make sure to contact us and schedule an appoint. Also bring your vehicle in for regular maintenance inspections. By doing so, you can help to save time, money, and stress in the long run.
The Battery
Until the vehicle starts, the battery is the part that provides the vehicle's electrical current. This electrical current includes the power to the ignition and fuel systems, which are responsible for creating the combustion necessary for the engine to function properly and efficiently. As you turn the key, the battery provides power to the starter that turns, and then the alternator gives the battery the energy needed to power the lights, wipers, and other accessories.
The Starter
While the battery supplies the power to start your vehicle, the starter is what sends power to the engine. The battery supplies a small amount of power to the starter motor. The starter then rotates and turns the crankshaft to begin the movement of the pistons in the engine. This process is what ensures the starter works. Sometimes it is difficult to determine when a starter will fail.
The Alternator
As the engine runs, the alternator helps to keep the battery charged. The alternator also helps in keeping the electrical system for your vehicle powered. While you can start a vehicle with a faulty alternator, it will not be able to run for any extended period of time. If the alternator for your vehicle needs replacing, you may notice a few signs. You may start to notice the electrical system performing oddly or erratically. The battery may even start to discharge, which will result in poor starts, or sometimes not starting at all. Over time, the engine will eventually start to lose power. If you notice an issue with your vehicle starting, contact us for an appointment. We can inspect the vehicle for you.
Checking Issues with the Transmission of your vehicle
The transmission of your car directs power created by the engine to the drive wheels. There are roughly more than 800 parts to an automatic transmission. Each of these is intricately placed and dependent on each other. Often when one part goes, it will end up failing. It relies on the fluid for cooling and lubrication. If you are not sure how often to bring the vehicle in for maintenance, contact us. We can advise you on a schedule, and when parts should be maintained. By keeping maintenance up to date, you can help improve the efficiency of your vehicle. No matter what issue you notice, having it repaired at the first sign of an issue is important.
Regular maintenance and keep an eye for warning signs can prevent signs of transmission failure from popping up. Check the level and color of transmission fluid regularly. Some cars have dipsticks for easy access, but others are closed systems. Change the fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Make sure the fluid pan is removed, cleaned, and a new filter is then installed. Use only manufacturer recommended fluids and fill amounts. Never switch from drive to reverse, or vice versa, while the car is still moving. Also, accelerate smoothly to allow gears to change at the correct times.
Signs of transmission failure
Deciphering between a failing transmission and a multitude of other ailments your car could have is difficult. Signs of a wearing or under performing are often hard to miss. The solution could be as simple as adding automatic transmission fluid. If there are regular signs of an issue, bring the vehicle in. We can inspect the vehicle and transmission for any signs of an issue.
Check the Transmission fluid
The fluid should be inspected to see if it is burnt or low. It should be a clear red or brown. If it is dark or thick, change it immediately. Notice if the fluid is burnt you may also notice a sweet burning smell. Be aware of any slipping or delayed response when accelerating. This can feel like your tires are spinning on ice or you will notice the rpm's going up without your car moving. Gears should lock immediately. If you notice a delay when applying pressure to your gas pedal, it is a sign of trouble. Also notice if it stalls or refuses to move. This means that it could be close to failing completely.
Leaking issues
Other issues could be leaking fluid. If you notice a red liquid on the ground, get it looked at immediately. Low fluid will lead to major wear. Also automatic shifting is built to be smooth and nearly unnoticeable. If you feel a jerk or shake when your vehicle shifts, you need us to inspect your transmission.
Knowing when a Brake Replacement is Needed
Signs of a brake replacement can include a wide variety of things. When you notice a noise, difference in performance, or burning smell when driving, get a brake check right away. A brake inspection is one of those routine maintenance chores you just cannot ignore. Brake parts have a life span and they do need to be regularly serviced and sometimes replaced to work properly. Your brakes are one of the most important safety components in your vehicle.
Brake Light On
When one of the red or yellow brake indicators on your dashboard lights up it may mean you are just due for an inspection. It could also be your vehicle's smart electronics alerting you to a problem. An engaged parking brake could also cause the light to go on. Be sure it is fully released to confirm that's not the issue.
Squealing, Squeaking or Grinding Noises
If you start hearing a high-pitched noise that stops when you apply the brakes that's likely the sound of the brake pad wear indicators. They're made of steel so they make this sound when they start contacting the rotor. They are letting you know that your pads are worn out and need to be replaced before you get rotor damage, which can be an expensive fix.
Grinding that you also feel in the pedal could mean a number of things. There could just be some gravel or a rock caught in the caliper unit. The brake pads may be worn through, and you're hearing metal on metal that could be creating grooves in the brake rotor. Grinding could also be an indicator of lack of lubrication in vehicles with rear drum brakes. The brake shoe (the component that presses on the rotor to slow the vehicle) could be scraping on metal contact points like the backing plate, due to rust. If you hear any of these sounds, get your brakes looked at right away to head off more expensive problems.
Vibrations when Braking
Shaking in the steering wheel or vibration when you apply the brakes may be the result of an uneven rotor. Brake rotors are big discs that sit inside of the wheels. When you hit the brake pedal, the brake pads hug the rotors, slowing them and your vehicle. You want rotors to be smooth and completely even in thickness. Over time and thousands of wheel revolutions, it's normal for the rotor surface to get slight variations. Rust can also sometimes develop.
Check the Air Conditioner of you Car
When the temperatures start to rise, you will want to make sure the air conditioner is working correctly in your car. If you turn on the air conditioner, and only warm air is produced, you may need to have it recharged. Make sure to bring the vehicle in and we can inspect it for you. This can help you to stay cool and comfortable when you drive this summer.
There may be several reasons your air conditioning system is not performing properly. The compressor and components failure are often at the top of the list. When replacing an air conditioner compressor, the entire system must be evaluated, not just the compressor, to ensure the repair is successful. Often the compressor is replaced without servicing the whole air conditioning system, leading to repeated failures and continued frustration.
One of the most common causes of poor air performance is low refrigerant. If that's the case, we can add a refrigerant charge to your car's system and get it working again. The first thing is to reclaim the refrigerant in the system (if there is any left).
Fixing the Issue
Remove the components that need to be replaced. By doing so, you will know what will need to be repaired. Visually inspect the rest of the system for evidence of leaks or other damage. You will also want to clean or flush the entire air conditioning system to ensure debris and dirty oil are removed. Charge the system with the correct type and amount of refrigerant and oil for the application. By doing this, you can help the air conditioner to be more efficient and cool your vehicle down better.
On later model cars, the air conditioning condenser replacement may be necessary after a failure or on a vehicle with high mileage. Either way, make sure to bring the vehicle in. We can inspect it and advise you on what should be done.
Clean the system and ensure that it's free from debris and dirty lubricants. This will prevent the circulation of contaminated oil or debris through the system that will damage the replacement compressor. After replacing the components, the system must be evacuated and then charged accurately with the exact amounts of refrigerant and oil specified for your vehicle. If you notice an issue, call for an appointment, because doing so can help the efficiency of the vehicle.

2015's Top Performers: Timothy Lutts
01/04/2016 10:00 am EST
Focus: GLOBAL
Last January, we featured our annual Top Picks report, highlighting the favorite stocks from the leading newsletter advisors. Here, we talk with one of 2015's top performers, Timothy Lutts, editor of Cabot Stock of the Month. Last year, he selected a China-based small-cap that has since risen 53%.
Steven Halpern: Joining us today is Timothy Lutts, editor of the Cabot Stock of the Month. How are you doing today, Tim?
Timothy Lutts: Great, Steve; always nice to talk to you.
Steven Halpern: Thanks for taking the time. In the last year's Top Picks report, you chose eHi Car Services (EHIC) as your favorite idea for 2015 and the stock has since risen about 53%. Can you tell our listeners what the company does and remind them about your original rationale for having chosen this company?
Timothy Lutts: Sure. eHi Car Services is the largest car service company in China and the number two car rental company in China. They're tied into Enterprise and Ctrip (CTRP) so they have strong partners in the business.
I think it's a natural growth of the car rental service business. In China, it is the number one factor here and there is great potential.
The reason I picked it last year: It became public last November at $12 and then, by late December, had fallen down to the $8 area, which to me was a nice post IPO cool down and looked like a good entry point at the time.
I like stocks that are under-known when I recommend them so it has a potential to become better known. I don't like buying stocks that everyone knows about and so eHi has become better known in the year since and it's growing very fast.
This is another attraction. When I wrote about it last year, it was growing revenues at 51% and 48% because of the two late quarters last year. This year, revenues have grown 53%, 61%, 70%, and 73%, so it's accelerating growth which is very exciting to me.
The stock is up 50-ish% as you said. It's cooled down actually. It hit a high of $19 earlier this year; now it's down to the $12s, and so I think that's a significant point here.
I would still call it a buy right here for the long-term investor. For those who own it, I would say take some profit here, but certainly hold some for the long-term.
Steven Halpern: Now, the Chinese market has seen both big ups and downs over the past year. How dependent is eHi Car on the performance of China's overall economy and of the stock market there?
Timothy Lutts: Oh, very much dependent and it is a volatile stock as I said then and I will say again now. It's lightly traded—average volume is only 237,000 shares a day—and so it bounces around.
It did come down, as I said, as the stock market swooned in late summer, especially the market came up from $19 to the $8s, so ideally, you try to buy in pullbacks and you try to take advantage of push to highs when they come.
Steven Halpern: Now, looking out over the course of the new year, what do you see on the horizon for e-Car?
Timothy Lutts: Well, I'm happy to see that it's becoming more recognized as a leader in the business.
People know it as a stock now, trading volume is improving generally, and I assume growth will eventually stop accelerating and start decelerating a bit; you can't accelerate forever, especially as you get bigger; but it's still a small company.
Still, looking at quarterly revenues of just $62 million in the latest quarter, so great growth potential as China grows and becomes more middle class.
It's still way behind developed countries as far as affordability of cars goes, so there's much more potential going forward as the Chinese get-can afford cars more.
Steven Halpern: Now, as you mentioned, you still like the stock; so for somebody who may not own it yet, is this a time that they should buy or should they still be waiting for a pullback before initiating a position?
Timothy Lutts: I think buying here is great. It's been stabilizing in the $12 to $13 area in the past couple months. Right now, it's right on a 50-day moving average at $12.3 as we talk and I think that's a good entry point.
Steven Halpern: Again, our guest is Timothy Lutts of Cabot's Stock of the Month. Thank you for your time today.
Timothy Lutts: Thank you, Steve.

Black Bean & Quinoa Stuffed Peppers
I'm shouting it from the rooftops: I'm in love with quinoa! Actually, let me rephrase: I'm in love with quinoa again! Two years ago I made my first batch of quinoa and was hooked. It is easier and faster to cook than rice, naturally gluten-free, and quinoa is the only grain that is a complete protein. What does that mean? It means that even by itself, quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids necessary for our protein needs. SCORE!
Sadly, I wasn't the only one who fell in love with this superfood. Before I knew it, quinoa prices were rising, and I was constantly finding the quinoa bin empty at my local health food store. Sigh. So quinoa and I took a much needed break.
Recently, on my weekly Costco trip, I noticed that my former love was fully stocked and in bulk size. I knew it was time to reconcile. Since then, quinoa and I have been inseparable. With the addition of the black beans and salsa, this stuffed peppers recipe takes on a southwestern flair. Feel free to add in hot sauce if you want more of a kick!
– 3 Bell Peppers
– 1/2 onion, diced
– 1 cup cooked quinoa
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup salsa
*Optional – 3 TBLS shredded cheese (I used Daiya vegan shreds)
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the top off the bell peppers and remove seeds inside.
2. Spray a large pan with nonstick spray, or add in 1 TBLS oil. Saute diced onions on medium-high heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Turn heat down to medium, and add in quinoa, black beans, and salsa. Stir together and heat for 5 minutes.
4. Remove quinoa/black bean mixture from heat, and stuff into bell peppers.
*Optional: Top each pepper with 1 TBLS cheese. Place stuffed peppers into baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve with extra salsa and top with chopped tomatoes and cilantro if desired. Enjoy!

5 Mens Skin Care Tips For Your Summer Holiday
2 Jul 2013 19:03:04
We know how exciting packing for your summer holiday can be gentlemen. Nothing beats the buzz of those few days or weeks leading up to your summer vacation. Whether it's the standard beer at the airport, ditching your suitcase in the room and heading down to the pool or banter fueled nights out on the town, there is always something to get you in the mood.
Whilst packing a copious amount of flip flops, t-shirts and that standard pair of jeans, which you never end up wearing is essential. It is crucial not to let your skin care for men regime drop during this important time.
In today's male skin care blog, allow us to guide you through five essential tips to keep yourself and your skin looking fresh, healthy and primed, ensuring sun burn, itchy and flakey skin remains well and truly off your radar.
The last thing you want fellas is to be held up in bed with tight and sun damaged skin and as we know more than most how guys can get caught up in the excitement of it all, we're here to show you how you can keep a level head when it comes to looking after your skin abroad.
5 - Apply Products More Regularly
It is fair to say that during intense sun exposure the metabolism of your skin speeds up significantly as well as it's fundamental processes and functions. The in turn makes your skin more hungry for essential care. Whilst it may sound hi-tech, in reality, all that is required is a little bit more application of the good stuff.
Apply sun cream more regularly, remember to moisturise your face, particularly in the morning and at night, and there is nothing wrong with applying after sun twice or thrice during your evening too, during this time of intense care.
4 - Use an Aloe Vera Based After Sun
The caring, protective and regenerative ability of aloe vera can never be under estimated, especially when it comes to male skin's after care. Packed with essential goodness, aloe vera based gels or cream, do a fantastic job at restoring your skin's moisture after a long hard day in the sun.
Remember to take care of every inch of your skin by applying after sun all over and your skin, in turn, will very much thank you for it. The essentialness of after sun, not only restores your skin's structure and moisture after a day in the sun, but primes it ready for the following day of equal or more intense exposure.
Air conditioned rooms may also cause the withdrawal of skin moisture, so it's essential to pack a couple of bottles for you and that one friend who for the first day or so flies solo in the world of men's skin care and is desperately left standing in the mirror showcasing devil like skin.
3 - Use a Concealer If You Do Peel
A little tip perfect for male cosmetic and skin care lovers is the use of a concealer for men. Despite upholding a perfect skin care holiday regime, you do run the risk of skin peeling. Areas of continued exposure (most notably the nose) can sometimes begin to flake as your skin's processes intensify and dead skin cells are discarded.
With the simple application of a men's concealer, you can even your skin's surface, camouflage the appearance of skin peeling as well as provide your skin with a little targeted moisture. Perfect for going out in the evenings, avoid eyes being on you for all the wrong reasons by taking on board the power of this male cosmetic range.
2 - Avoid Scrubs and Long Showers
Avoiding men's face scrubs is essential. During this very testing time, you certainly want to avoid abrasive facial scrubs, which can strip away your skin's natural barriers of defence. At most, use a lightly beaded face wash, or a cream based male face wash.
The stripping away of limited natural moisture, coupled with the sometimes sore nature of facial scrubs on sun exposed skin can culminate into a holiday disaster. During this very delicate time, you do not want to speed your skin's processes up even further, allowing for skin cells to be removed, which before provided a nice and useful barrier.
1 - Use an SPF Sun Screen
Our final key tip, we know, is very much stating the obvious fellas. But, finding a sun cream with the correct level of SPF is essential before you even think about digging out your passport.
Fairer skinned gentlemen often reside around an SPF 30 level of protection, whilst those with even lighter pigments should aim for something closer to 50. The darker your skin naturally is, the lower SPF you can use, however, it is always advisable to start higher at the beginning of your holiday, allowing your skin to adjust to the new climate.
It is a very common myth that using lower SPF sun creams will enhance your tan. In reality, using a higher level of SPF builds a longer lasting natural tan, avoids premature peeling of your skin and of course, ensures your skin is not left burnt, tight and sore.
So fellas, there you have it. Five essential skin care tips for men when it comes to jetting off on your summer vacation. The same processes can be adopted in Britain if we are lucky enough this year to experience a joyful heat wave, somewhere around the end of October.
For now, happy holidays from the MaleSkin team!

mon-persecution-and-the-refuge-of-patrio tism
These are my thoughts on the matter:
I won't try to convince anyone of my opinion. I know how personal this subject is to people and how unlikely it is for them to see another side of things.
But what I will say is that as a convert to the Church, I have not known this faith all of my life. I made the conscious decision to join the Church just about the same time as the Prop 8 decision was taking place.
I did not join because it was the easiest choice. I did not join because I disliked the gay population. In fact, it was the exact opposite for both. It was the hardest decision I've ever had to make. But I could not deny the peace, beauty, and truth I had experienced in the LDS Church.
Now this is where most will stop reading. I know I've more than stepped on a few toes. But this is what this Church and this faith mean to people. Sure you have those who simply side with the Church because its the easiest way. But for those of us who fight that internal battle, it means much more. Faith is not a political opinion. Faith is as much a part of my life as my sexuality. It's something I cannot deny.
I apologize if that offends anyone. But I just felt like it should be said on behalf of those of the faith.
For the record, I do believe that the Church should stay out of political matters such as this.
To Mormons reading this article:
Whats more important than anything is your testimony of the truthfulness of the Church (3 Nephi 27). Nothing on this earth, no matter the issue, should take that away from you. That's not to say I'm siding completely with the Church on this. We are allowed to have certain disagreements or conflicted opinions. We will never have all of the answers. But we can pray to come to some sort of understanding.
"I can only hope people understand a little more about what goes into our decisions concerning the Gospel, however hard that may be."

Name, hometown, corps, school, extracurricular activities: My Name is Andrew Parker and my hometown is Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and I am a part of Fusion. I attend the University of Calgary and I am involved in outside music ensemble within the University. What is your role in the corps this summer? My role this summer for Fusion is drum major.
Give us your full drum corps/marching music background, and how each position prepared you for the leadership role you're in this summer. I have been with Allegiance Elite for five years, and I will spend my sixth season with Fusion, the combination of the Edmonton Strutters and Allegiance Elite. I have gone through the ranks of drum corps from a green-horned rookie to baritone section leader for my last two years in the horn line. It has given me some experience in being responsible for the productivity of the section and making sure everyone was on the same page. Trying to make my section the best in the horn line was always my goal, and in my opinion, they were the best section. The last good book I read: The last book I read which was excellent was "Motherless Brooklyn" by Jonathan Lethem. The last great film I saw: The last great movie I saw was "Donnie Brasco" with Al Pacino and Johnny Depp. Three CDs I'd want on a deserted island: If I had to choose three CDs to have a deserted island, they would have to be "O" by Damien Rice, "Fight For Your Mind" by Ben Harper and "White Ladder" by David Gray. My favorite TV show: My Favorite TV show would be "The Simpsons" Favorite performers: My favorite performers would have to be the members of "Stomp" and the members of "Blast!" How do you "blow off steam?" I blow off steam by practicing for my lessons or playing basketball and squash. Why I march with the corps I am in: I march with this corps because I feel that it gives me more practice and gives my experience in an ensemble setting. Was it always your goal to be in a leadership role? It was always a goal to be in a leadership role, and it is great that I get to fulfill that as drum major. How will you go about balancing the roles of leader and corpsmate? In terms of being a friend and drum major, I will leave whatever happens on the field, on the field. Making sure that I help setting a fun mood for practice and carry that through, no matter what kind of day I am having, is also a goal. Best drum corps show ever: Best show ever is an extremely hard question, but if I have to choose, it would be the 1995 Cavaliers, "The Planets." What are you most looking forward to about the summer? The one thing I am looking forward to is the first time I am on the podium in front of the crowd on the first show of the year, and the first time I turn around after the first show with my adrenalin at an all-time high. Best thing about being a drum corps leader: The best thing about being a leader is that everyone looks up to you and hopefully respects you. Worst thing about being a drum corps leader: The worst thing would be if something goes wrong, you're the first name that comes up. But bring it on! During tour, the best part of the day is:The best part of the day on tour would be the four-hour block right after dinner until sunset, where it is not too hot and hot too cold, and the sunsets I find in the States are gorgeous. The worst part of tour is: The worst part would be the evening after finals, when I realize that I have to go back to the real world. Favorite drum corps personality: My favorite DCI personality is Steve Rondinaro. What do you want to be when your drum corps career is over? When my career in drum corps is over, I am going to finish my degree in music education to become a teacher, and hopefully go into graduate school.

"Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought." -E.Y. Harburg
A few weeks back a friend and I traveled back to the city of our Alma Mater, Springfield, Missouri. Years before I had offered to photograph a friend of a friend as a gift to her. Unfortunately, we never got around to the actual photo shoot, so I figured maybe I owed it to her, so we were re-connected and made it happen!… oh and she's fabulous…. oh, and I think she might be famous some day.
Check her out; she's INCREDIBLE… see her live… let her voice envelope your soul. Her gift is amazing. Beautiful.
Now that I'm done with bragging on her, here are some of my favorites from our time together:

Liturgical Colour : White
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, on this day we listened to the words of the Scripture passages, beginning with the Book of Deuteronomy, from which a passage was taken out as our first reading today. In that passage, we listened as Moses told the people of Israel during their journey towards the Promised Land, as they endured the long period of waiting, forty years, about how God had cared for them and provided for them all those while, despite all of their lack of faith in Him.
Moses was reminding the people with a long exhortation, telling them just how fortunate they have been, for them to have been loved by God, to be chosen by Him to be His people. For indeed, what Moses said was true, as there was never anything like what the Lord had done for His people, Israel, in how He had personally done wonders to free His people through the works of His mighty hands, by the ten great plagues that oppressed the Egyptians and forcing them to let the Israelites go.
And God had opened the Red Sea before His people, a deed never done before by any, allowing them to pass through safely and destroyed their enemies behind them. He established a Covenant with them, renewing the Covenant which God had made with Abraham, their forefather. He gave them His own Laws and commandments, with which He wanted to guide them to live faithfully according to His will, and then delivered these to them through Moses, His servant.
He fed His people with the bread from heaven itself, the manna, which He gave them daily except on the Sabbath day, before which He gave them twice the amount to fend for the day of the Sabbath. Everything was taken care of for them, and God loved them day after day. He destroyed their enemies, the Midianites and the Amalekites as they journeyed through the desert. However, the Israelites refused to believe in God wholeheartedly, and repeatedly, they betrayed Him for other gods, and made constant complaints against Him.
They demanded more and more things, even though God had been so generous with them. They complained that they had not enough to eat or drink, even though God had given them and provided them with what they needed. And that is precisely what the Lord Jesus mentioned in the Gospel today. We may not immediately see the link between the two passages, but what the people of Israel had done, was that they seek to preserve themselves and settle their personal desires and interests, above that of the interests of God.
Jesus our Lord said that those who would preserve their lives and refuse to take up their crosses in life will perish, while those who are willing to accept and take up the crosses of their lives, following the Lord Jesus, while they would suffer and be threatened with destruction, they will triumph in the end, and eternal life and grace will forever be theirs. This is the promise which God had made to all those who are faithful to Him.
Sadly, however, the attitudes shown by the Israelites can be found too often among us mankind, as many of us often succumb to the temptations of worldly goods, pleasures and wealth, and we often think of ourselves first, and how we can advance our own power, prestige and status in the society, ahead of our obligations to the Lord. And that is why so many of us have fallen into sin, because we are incapable of letting go of all these human desires that we have.
We put our desires for pleasure, for money, for worldly fame and glory, for recognition and renown ahead of our obligation to love and serve the Lord with all of our hearts. And that was what happened to the Israelites, who have been swayed away from their faith in God, and what had also happened to our predecessors throughout the ages.
Satan is always ever active, seeking for new preys to hound upon. He is actively seeking our downfall, by putting in our path many obstacles and hurdles, all sorts of temptations, persuasions and pressure, in order to force us to walk down the path of sin. This is where we truly must be careful, lest we are dragged down to the fires of hell with him, as we disobey God through sin.
We should instead seek and strive to do our best, to overcome those temptations and pressures, and follow what the holy saint, St. Clare of Assisi had shown in her life. Today we mark her memorial and feast day, and all of us Christians should learn from her examples. St. Clare was among those who sought to join the society founded by St. Francis of Assisi, when she was moved by his preaching and works.
It was told that St. Clare gave up everything and followed the Lord, joining the religious nuns in their convent. And when her family tried to force her to return with them, she refused to do so, as she had committed her whole life to the Lord, and adamantly holding fast to her commitment to God. And eventually she continued in her life in the secluded convent, dedicating herself entirely to God through prayer.
And it was told that in one occasion, when the armies of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II came upon the city with the intent of pillaging, St. Clare took up the Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance and held it up high above her. Amidst the rushing and the terror of an invading army, one should have run away in fear, but not for St. Clare. She placed her trust in God, her Protector. It was told that the armies who wanted to pillage the city fled away in fear because of what St. Clare had done.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, let us all follow in the footsteps of St. Clare of Assisi, and emulate her in her deeds and choices in life. She had decided to give herself completely and wholeheartedly to the Lord, and it is that dedication and commitment which we ourselves should imitate in our own lives, and in how we live our faith to the Lord.
Let us all renew our commitment to Him, and let us no longer be swayed or be tempted by worldly temptations, but instead from now on, let us live in accordance with the will of God, and obey all of His laws. May the Lord bless us all, and may He be with us throughout this journey of our faith. Amen.

The Beheading of Laila Bint Abdul Muttalib Basim
Authorities in Saudi Arabia publicly beheaded a woman in the holy city of Mecca this week, according to footage sent to MEE on Thursday and local media reports. Laila Bint Abdul Muttalib Basim, a Burmese resident of Saudi Arabia, was convicted of torturing and killing her seven-year-old step-daughter and executed by the sword on Monday. Footage of the execution shows Basim being dragged into a street and held down by four police officers. "I did not kill, I did not kill," she is heard to shout repeatedly. Basim then screamed as a sword-wielding man struck her neck. Second and third blows completed the beheading and authorities swiftly removed her body from the road moments later. A Ministry of Interior statement said the execution had been done to protect "security". "The Ministry of Interior announces this news to confirm that the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, may God protect him, is greatly concerned with restoring security and realising justice," read the statement published by SPA. "It implements the rulings of God against all those who attack innocents and spill their blood. The government warns all those who are seduced into committing similar crimes that the rightful punishment is their fate."In the above text you can replace the word God with Allah. The second flogging of Raif Badawi has been postponed "for medical reasons" after an international outcry for him. He was convicted of insulting Islam for posts he wrote on his blog. The video of his first flogging is here. The video of the beheading is below the fold.

'Une liberté d'importuner'
On 9 January, Le Monde published an open letter from a hundred women calling for a reconsideration of the 'excessive' #MeToo campaign. Among the signatories were writers, editors, translators, academics, gynaecologists, psychotherapists, artists, filmmakers, actors, critics, journalists, photographers and radio hosts. The broadside, drafted by five writers and journalists including Catherine Millet and Catherine Robbe-Grillet, argued that the campaign, though 'legitimate' in its calling out of sexual violence in the wake of the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, had escalated into policing the relationships between men and women in a way that was detrimental to sexual freedom.
Sexuality, the letter said, is an impulsive and brutal force, which we have no business taming and regimenting. In the name of this view of sexuality, it is imperative that men maintain the right to 'importuner' ('bother') women. It seemed to me that the letter was defending not only men's right to 'bother' women, but the 'right' of women to accommodate themselves to misogyny. Its language chimed with the words of Caroline Dandridge, who hired the 'hostesses' for the Presidents Club last week: 'You just have to put up with the annoying men,' she told them.
The most famous signatory of the letter in Le Monde, Catherine Deneuve, has since apologised to the victims of sexual abuse whom it might have offended, but she has not distanced herself from the text so much as from peripheral statements issued by some of its other supporters. She says she will not defend Weinstein, but in the past has defended Roman Polanski against allegations of rape, a term which she says she 'had always thought to be excessive' in his case.
The letter has been received as an illustration of a generational clash between feminists of Deneuve's age and the younger feminists who have spoken out on social media. But not all the women who supported the text were of Deneuve's generation. And there is another clash, between the letter in Le Monde and the Manifeste des 343, published in 1971 in Le Nouvel Observateur, which issued a list of 343 women who said they'd had an abortion, then still illegal in France. The manifesto, written by Simone de Beauvoir, denounced the historical condition of women as individuals who still do not, in modern society, have ownership their own body – 'n'ont pas la libre disposition de leur corps' – but also the oppression of working-class Frenchwomen who could not afford a trip to England to have a legal (and safe) abortion.
Among those who signed the document were Marguerite Duras, Agnes Varda, Jeanne Moreau – and Catherine Deneuve, who this month defended herself against accusations of anti-feminism by reminding people that she had signed the Manifeste des 343. But the anti-#MeToo letter – which argues that, because no woman can be reduced to her body, women should not expect their freedom to begin with their bodies – is a step backwards from 1971.
It has been suggested that there is something quintessentially 'French' about the letter in Le Monde. (In 1975, soon after abortion was decriminalised in France, de Beauvoir said on French TV that The Second Sex had been better received in the United States than in France because men and women were more equal in the US.) 'Call it a cliché if you like,' Agnès C. Poirier wrote in the New York Times on 12 January, 'but ours is a culture that, for better and for worse, views seduction as a harmless and pleasurable game, dating back to the days of medieval "amour Courtois". As a result, there has been a kind of harmony between the sexes that is particularly French.' But the conditions of such harmony, if it exists, have always been decided by men.
The letter asks to be read as the 'alternative voice', but it is the voice of reaction. And plenty of Frenchwomen have taken issue with it. The historian Michelle Perrot, for example, issued a response expressing regret that a hundred liberal, educated women should have used their prestige to refuse their solidarity to the women who have suffered from harassment and until very recently been silenced.
There may be a reason the #MeToo campaign received a more qualified response in the French debate than it did elsewhere, but it has less to do with 'culture' than with language. When it was taken up on French social media, #MeToo was clumsily translated as 'balance ton porc' ('call out your pig'). This more vindictive phrase, attributed to a French journalist based in New York, could not, unlike #MeToo, be read as anything other than an injunction to denounce men and publicly smear them, which not all victims of sexual harassment will feel comfortable with, or liberated by. But that doesn't entitle privileged, educated citizens of any gender to defend the right of men to 'bother' women, especially not in the name of such an intellectually flawed idea as cultural exceptionalism.

ten on tuesday.
1. My meal planning went pretty well last week so I'm going to try to continue. Last night I found this recipe to use up our tilapia. Though the tilapia we had wasn't the best quality (a little too fishy tasting), Beau and I still enjoyed it. But when I offered some to Ephram he just shook his head - a new trick he's learned. While it gives me a slight headache when he declines good food, it's just too adorable to get upset. And any sort of communication is better than grunts and crying these days. 2. By the way, myrecipes.com has greatly helped me stick to a meal plan lately. They have awesome recipes on the site, and it allows you to save/add new recipes to your recipe file as well. Then I add the recipes I want to make that week to a new shopping list so that I can make sure I buy the ingredients needed for the week. So, so helpful.
3. I concluded yesterday that my eating habits have improved since Ephram became an observant toddler. For instance, no, Donya, you don't need that ice cream sandwich in the freezer. It will spoil your dinner. And Ephram will want to share.
4. Speaking of healthy eating, we are this close to having our new raised veggie garden planted. Beau bought the seeds/plants last night but we've had a few projects needing more urgent attention - aka, a new garage door...
5. Anyone know how to get rid of ants? Last year they invaded our kitchen, to which I blamed the dripped baby milk. But this spring, I've spotted them in the dining room, the entry way, and even the laundry room. And the small ant houses they sell at Target aren't doing the trick - and are oh so very tempting to touch by the small person living in my house.
6. A week or so ago, I showed Ephram the correct way to descend the stairs (feet first, if you aren't up to speed with the toddler world). And ever since, he's been mildly obsessed with practicing/playing on the stairs. And when he climbs back up, he often decides to stand up mid-way and clap. That's definitely safe for a wobbly toddler, right? (I swear I lose a year off my life everytime he does this.)
7. Ever since stumbling upon the Solar's personal blog last month, I've fallen in love with this family of five. They make road trips seem amazing (as I've mentioned before) and life with toddlers/little kids seem so fun and easy. In particular, Jenny's strategy of setting brown boxes on top of the each child's dresser for tomorrow's clothes is simply genius. Jenny Solar, I thank you. :)
8. By the way, I already implemented #6 in Ephram's room and I got two thumbs up from Beau for it. Well, maybe not literally, but he did comment that it made the mornings he's has to get Ephram ready alone go a lot smoother.
9. I stumbled upon these printable J.Crew coloring book pages this week and just had to share.
10. Since it's finally feeling and looking like summer outside, E and I are headed outside, as soon as he wakes up from his afternoon nap. Happy Tuesday!

Unique Estates has the pleasure to offer to your attention this completely furnished, two bedroom apartment for rent. The property is located in the center of Sofia- the pedestrian part of Vitosha blvd.
Living room, two bedrooms, separate kitchen , bathroom with WC.
In the downtown there are the buildings of the National Assembly, the Presidency, the Council of Ministers, all ministries and highest court institutions- The Supreme Cassation Court, the Supreme Administrative Court, the Supreme Court Council, Central Prosecutors Bureau, etc. Here are also some other national institutions (Constitutional Court, Central Road Management Office, etc.), several economic institutions (Bulgarian Economy Chamber), as well as institutions primarily engaged in the accomplishment of the reforms in the country (Privatization Agency, Mass Privatization Agency, Foreign Investment Agency, etc.).
The centre is situated between the "Maria Luiza", "Evlogi Georgiev", "Ivan Geshov", and "Skobelev" blvds. and "Opalchenska" str.
The story of the capital's development is very interesting and dates back as early as the 80s of the 19ht c when Sofia began turning into a Middle-European city following the models of European cities consistent with Bulgarian specifics.
The architecture changed with the acquisition of European style, taste and fashion. The public and residential architecture during the first twenty years after the Liberation of Bulgaria from Turkish domination was almost completely created by foreigners- architects, constructors and designers, who came to Bulgaria for a specified term and with specific tasks. Most of them were from Austro-Hungary, but there were also Germans, Armenians, Polish, and Italians.
The construction possibilities in the center are limited. Most of the residential buildings are in the Medical Acdemy region between "Skobelev", "P.

Occasionally a member of our support or development teams may ask that you send over a recording of a problem you're encountering so we can better understand the issue and find a solution for you. You may already have a preferred method of recording your screen, and if so, you're welcome to use that to share the video with us.
If you're not sure how to record a video of your screen, there are a number of options to choose from.
This article explains the process for Mac OS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS devices.
You can also choose to use a free online service to record a video, such as Screencast-o-Matic or Apowersoft's free recorder. These are both pretty straightforward to use, but note that you will need to download a launcher application the first time you use either service. This is necessary in order to record the video, and once you've installed the launcher you'll be able to start recording using the application provided by the service you're using.
If you opt to use Screencast-o-Matic, you may want to set up an account with them before starting - that will allow you to upload the video directly to your account and share it with us via a link.
When you're finished, don't forget to reply back to the support team to let them know you've created a video. If it's not a very large file, you can even attach it directly to your support ticket when you respond.

Whether you have your health insurance premiums taken out of your paycheck or you pay for them from your bank account, they can still take a bite out of your bottom line. However, you might be able to use those costs to increase your tax refund by claiming a deduction -- if you're not already excluding those costs from your taxable income.
Paid With After-Tax Dollars
To deduct your health insurance, you must pay for it with after-tax dollars. Some employers take out your share of the insurance premiums before reporting your taxable income, so that the premiums don't count. If so, you've already received a tax benefit for them because they weren't included in your taxable income, so you can't deduct them. For example, if your salary is $50,000 and your employer withholds $3,000 for premiums before taxes, you'll only report $47,000 of taxable income, but you can't deduct your premiums.
Deductible Health Insurance
To be deductible, the insurance has to pay for medical services like surgery, hospital visits, prescription drugs and dental care. It can also provide long-term care. If you have a policy that provides for both medical care payments as well as other payments, you can deduct the health insurance portion if the charge is reasonable and is separately stated in the insurance contract. For example, if your policy also pays you cash if you can't work to cover non-medical expenses, you can still deduct the health insurance portion of the premiums as long as that portion is stated separately.
Self-Employed Premiums
If you're self-employed, you might be able to deduct your health insurance as an adjustment to income rather than using the itemized medical expenses deduction. To do so, you must set up the health insurance under your business name and you can't claim premiums for any month that you're eligible for health insurance through your employer or your spouse's employer. In addition, you can't deduct more than your net self-employment income.
General Health Insurance Deduction
If you're not self-employed, your qualifying health insurance costs count toward figuring your medical expenses deduction. However, you can only deduct the costs that exceed the minimum percentage of your adjusted gross income. For 2012, that percentage is 7.5, but it increases to 10 percent in 2013. Your health insurance premiums alone might not get you a deduction, but combined with other medical expenses you might be able to claim a deduction if you itemize.

hi chaps,
had a n email from paypal about their updates.
something about sha-256 from PIN...
excerpt below.
As we have previously communicated to you, PayPal is upgrading the certificate for www.paypal.com to SHA-256. This endpoint is also used by merchants using the Instant Payment Notification (IPN) product.
This upgrade is scheduled for 30/9/2015; however, we may need to change this date on short notice to you to align to the industry security standard.
You're receiving this notification because you've been identified as a merchant who has used IPN endpoints within the past year. If you have not made the necessary changes, we urge you to do so right away to avoid a disruption of your service!
Because these changes are technical in nature, we advise that you consult with your individuals responsible for your PayPal integration. They will be able to identify what, if any, changes are needed. Please share this email and the hyperlinks below with your technical contact for evaluation.
Testing in the Sandbox is one of the best ways to make sure your integrations work. Sandbox endpoints have been upgraded to accept secure connections by the SHA-256 Certificates.
Can you reassure me that this will not effect my conference, as I believe the registration will now begin to ramp up.
- JotForm SupportBDAVIDAnswered on September 11, 2015 at 11:48 AM
Thanks for sharing, our servers are updated with the latest security certificates that are using SHA-256 algorithm. This update that is to be implemented by PayPal will not affect JotForm's integrations, so you do not have to be concerned. Your PayPal-integrated forms will normally as expected.

I recently visited Austin for the sole purpose of eating and drinking. Any other site-seeking adventure was thrown off the table, except for visiting a pinata store obviously. But before I can write an entire post recapping all of eats and drinks, these are the fews highlights that I can't stop thinking about.
Things I learned I love from Austin:
Serrano Chile Rum and Habanero Rum– My favorite was The Raconteur from The Blackheart, which I both painfully and delightfully took down in a few sips.
Shipping container bars- a la el Container Bar, next door to the habanero cocktail on Rainey Street. Because, why not?
Mushrooms IF soaked in parmesan broth, but the melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi helped too. Thanks to Parkside for now adding mushrooms to the list of "Foods I Can Eat…ONLY If They Taste Like They've Fallen from the Gods". (It was so good I embarrassed my date by approaching tables as we left and tell them they should order it.)
Restored houses, in any sense of the phrase, but especially as bars and restaurants
NOT egg white cocktails with craisins floating on top. (Look at the picture… just look at it. It's stunning in all the wrong ways.)

Samsung, the world's largest OLED supplier is also a brilliant smartphone display manufacturer. The dual curved edge display technology that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge flaunted for the first time was indeed a breakthrough. Then onwards, the design was prominent in all the Samsung's flagships. Now it seems, the South-Korean giant wants to push the boundary even further by designing an extremely curved screen that extends till all the way to backside of devices.
Courtesy to a patent filed by Samsung at WIPO(World International Property Office), we came to know the firms plan of 180° curved display development. On the patent filing, Samsung has illustrated the process of manufacturing the newly designed display as well. Moreover, various schematic diagrams provides a clear idea of what here Samsung is trying to achieve.
Nevertheless, whether the new design will be adopted in any of the upcoming Galaxy device is a great uncertainty. Since Samsung frequently applies for new patents each and every day, while most of them never see the daylight. However, Samsung seems to be sincere in this new approach. As it has claimed that, the 180˚ curved display offers a completely new user experience and improves the grip on the device.
Meanwhile, we'd came across lots of rumors and anticipations regarding the foldable phone dubbed as Galaxy X. If everything ends well we could see the device's launch soon rather than later.

Clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli army have erupted along Gaza's limit with Israel, a week after identical disturbance left 16 people dead.
The Israeli infantry pronounced it had shot 3 people in a legs, as protesters burnt automobile tyres and threw stones.
The protesters are perfectionist that refugees be authorised to lapse to ancestral lands that are now in Israel.
But Israel says a belligerent organization Hamas, that dominates Gaza, is entertainment a rallies in sequence to launch attacks.
It has warned that orders given to soldiers about when to open glow have not been changed, notwithstanding a charge of general criticism.
Hamas and other groups organising a six-week critique campaign, dubbed a Great Mar of Return, contend they are peacefully job for a right for Palestinian refugees to lapse to land they fled from or were forced to leave in 1948, when Israel was created.
The Israeli supervision rejects such claims and says terrorists are regulating a cover of a protests to try to cranky illegally into a territory.
Israel's Defence Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, warned that anyone removing tighten to a limit blockade in Gaza was endangering their life.
"If there are provocations, there will be a greeting of a harshest kind like final week," he said.
The Israeli infantry has pronounced a infantry have usually used live glow opposite people perplexing to harm a limit fence, rolling blazing tyres towards it, or throwing stones.
But a Israeli tellurian rights organization B'Tselem has pronounced live glow should usually be used when infantry face "tangible and evident mortal danger, and usually in a deficiency of any other alternative".
It has called on soldiers to exclude to open glow on unarmed demonstrators, observant orders to do so are "blatantly unlawful".
Palestinian health method officials pronounced on Friday morning that a male shot during final week's protests had died of his wounds.
Another male was killed in an Israeli atmosphere strike nearby a limit on Thursday. The Israeli infantry pronounced a male had approached a blockade carrying a rifle.
The Israeli unfamiliar method pronounced Hamas – that is designated a militant organization by Israel, a US and EU – was heading a protests and that many of those killed had been militants.
Hamas concurred that some of those killed belonged to a infantry wing, though pronounced they were participating in a critique "side by side" with other Palestinians.
The organization has pronounced it will compensate $3,000 (£2,140) to a family of anyone shot passed by Israeli infantry during a protests. It has also offering $500 to anyone who suffers a vicious damage and $200 for a teenager injury.
A Hamas central on a organising cabinet of a protests deserted Israeli claims that it was putting a "price tag" on casualties.
"This is a avocation to a people, to palliate a pang of a citizens," Muhammad Thuraya told a New York Times. "This does not meant that we are compelling people for death."
The United Nations and European Union have called for an eccentric review into final week's deaths and appealed for ease on Friday.
"Israeli army should practice limit patience and Palestinians should equivocate attrition during a Gaza fence," UN Middle East attach� Nickolay Mladenov said.
"Demonstrations and protests contingency be authorised to ensue in a pacific manner," he added.
But US presidential attach� Jason Greenblatt pronounced it was a shortcoming of Palestinian leaders to "communicate aloud and clearly that protesters should impetus peacefully", sojourn outward a 500m (1,640ft) "buffer zone" designated by Israel, and "not proceed a limit blockade in any approach or any location".
"We reject leaders and protesters who call for assault or who send protesters – including children – to a fence, meaningful that they might be harmed or killed," he said.

Years ago, I worked for a men's and fathers' issue radio show called "His Side with Glenn Sacks". And make no mistakes – it was the LARGEST men's and fathers' issues show in America at that time. Of course, it was one of the few men's issues shows, largely because of the "boys don't cry" mentality of America, and the assumption that men simply don't have issues, and if they do, it's because they caused them.
In any event, Robert Franklin, Esq. recently put up an article about domestic violence and "intimate terrorism," which I at first thought was a sexy bedroom game. As Franklin explains, I'm wrong (go figure); intimate terrorism "is psychological or physical abuse that is intended to – and does – control the behavior of the other partner."
His article is a good read, and it got me thinking about how we teach our daughters, as a society, that it's okay to hit men.
A quick tangent that I promise will come back around. My wife and I have a guilty pleasure – MTV's "Teen Mom." If you haven't been watching this show, it actually started as "16 and Pregnant" – a series about, you guessed it, 16 year old girls that somehow found themselves with-child. And though the point of the series was to show teenagers that unwed, teen pregnancy is not okay, the participants in the series, by and large, walked out of it looking okay. Cool, even. I suspect there's been no real positive cultural impact from "16 and Pregnant," and I believe the same don't-worry-be-happy attitude passed along to "Teen Mom" – the continued stories of 4 of the featured teenage girls from "16 and Pregnant." We see what life is like with a child – how their high school educations continued (or didn't), and how their relationships continued (or didn't). As you watch, however, you get the sense, again, that teen pregnancy isn't all that bad. The girls still go out and party, live their lives, and pass their kids off to family and friends while they do anything that fits their fancies. Before this show, I'd never seen so many kids left on counter-and-tabletops.
Here's where it comes back around. There's a couple on "Teen Mom," Amber and Gary. They're always fighting, and my wife and I have developed a drinking game that involves taking a shot every time they get engaged or break up with each other. We're trashed constantly. What stood out to me, however, is that Amber has hit Gary at least once. Gary, at least in his own mind, has been just as hurt and angry at Amber, but as much of a douchebag moron he is, has never slapped her on-camera, and we know he hasn't done it off-camera because MTV would love the guaranteed ratings of showing it, just as they did with the guy that hit "Jersey Shore" spectacle "Snooki". And MTV's interesting double-standard, as Starcasm.com points out, is that when Snooki (who is at least mostly a woman) was punched by a man, the original airing was censored (and then re-shown uncensored)…but Amber's choking and slapping of Gary is shown as it happened. You know, because violence toward a woman in a bar is a terrible act, but choking and slapping your fiance, not matter what it was that he said, is okay. She's probably just looking out for the baby.
The point is that we don't view a woman slapping a man as violence. We view it as something that the man "asked for" (and don't get me wrong, I'm not standing up for Gary's actions on "Teen Mom"). I still remember seeing at least one episode of my childhood favorite show, "Saved By The Bell," where Zack Morris was slapped by one of the girls on the show, and all that it earned was a prompted "ooooh" from the audience (and a shrugged-off one-liner that lightened the mood). Life went on. Never did you see AC Slater reel back and slap the crap out of Jessie Spano. I'm sure you can think of other examples from your youth of women slapping men on television like it was nothing, or if not, turn on WEtv's "Bridezillas," where men are constantly slapped and abused by their fiances – all under the umbrella of entertaining "bridezilla" behavior. See, this is the problem – if a man hits a woman, he is seen as a violent criminal. When a woman hits a man, she can be passed off as having a fleeting moment of "bridezilla" behavior, or being overcome with some victimized emotion that has no choice but to come out as physical action. What's funny is that in the big push to make women "equal", a show like "Bridezillas" sets the movement back a couple of notches – it screams "women can't handle the stress of planning a wedding and become zoo animals to be watched and laughed at."
We'll wrap this up, since now I'm just flipping channels on television looking for more examples. But before the under-reported and under-accepted domestic violence happens, what can we do as fathers? Well, man-up, as people say. Teach your kids – both sons and daughters, that hitting is wrong. I know, that kind of sums things up too nicely – but only because it truly is that simple. Teach your sons and daughter to talk things out – and this solution starts with you; you've got to lead by example. Don't put your finger in your wife's face when you're angry at her. Don't yell in front of your kids. Reward your children for letting you know how something makes them feel.
Okay, I'm done. All this happy-wrap-up crap is making me lose my edge.

As Facebook becomes the leading platform for paid social ads, Twitter plans to capitalize on users' timelines. According to the Financial Times, Twitter will introduce promoted tweets and insert them into a user's timeline. Promoted tweets will be like Facebook ads which will work as "targeted ads" as a way to filter relevant users for certain promoted tweets.
Aside from paid tweets inserted into Twitter streams, Twitter is considering plans to leverage from local tweets and turn them into a local deals option like Groupon. User data such as tweets, retweets, trends, and other real-time conversations on Twitter are seen as factors in offering limited-time deals. Furthermore, Twitter is also looking at the idea of account customization through enhanced profile pages for brands. Marketers and brand advocates will have their hands full when Twitter gives them control of ad placements in user streams.
Twitter anticipates revenues to catapult to about $100 million in 2011. Aside from that, Twitter is about to get a boost from its integration with Apple's next iPhone mobile software, no wonder it plans to come up with a Groupon-like service.
Twitter is a free social tool, the only thing it needs to do next is to monetize its services as more users sign up with one of the top social networking sites in the world today.

Are you surprised Katie Maloney has worked for Lisa the longest out of any other cast member?

Stuck in someone else's frames? break free!
Let's go over to the aquarium and watch fish breathe. Can you think of anything more exciting? When my daughter was three years old, we got some goldfish. She really liked those fish, and the first day we had them, she spent much of that day just looking at the fish. Late that night, almost midnight, she came to my bed and awakened me; she was crying. She said, "Mommy, the fishes' cheeks are coming apart!"
Let's pick up on the largest fish, and watch them closely. We want to count the number of times in one minute that it opens and closes its mouth. Next, we'll count the number of times the flaps (gill covers) on its gills opens and closes--see if his cheeks come apart.
When its gill covers are open, is its mouth open, or is it closed?
I think he can't have them both open at the same time.
What do gills do? What is their purpose? Do they help the fish to breathe? How?
As the fish opens its mouth, water goes in. The water passes over its gills (inside its body), and the oxygen that is dissolved in the water passes through the very thin tissues (like skin) inside, and goes right into the fish's blood-stream. Then it leaves the fish's body through the gill covers. That means, then, that the fish opens its mouth to get water, from which to take in oxygen. When there is enough water inside, it closes its mouth, and opens its gill covers. When the water is almost all out, the fish opens its mouth and starts all over again.
We will boil some water for five minutes, to remove any dissolved oxygen. Put a lid on it, and set it aside to cool. When it is room temperature, we'll put a fish into it. Watch it closely, because we can't leave it in there for very long. There is little or no oxygen in the water, and if it were in there for more than a few minutes, it would die. Would it drown? Or would it suffocate? We'll have to find out from a book.
The information that the fish need oxygen in order to live can be a reminder to us to make sure our aquarium is chemically balanced. If there is rotting food in the aquarium, it has a bad effect on the amount and quality of soluble oxygen available to the fish.
