I have been thinking about stressors in my life and thinking about the fact that despite everything, I still don't want a smoke. Amazing! Here is a list of the stuff going on in my life that a month ago would have sent me outside to light up.
- My Dad is 84 with COPD and still smoking. I am going to lose him and I am scared. I want to go down to Florida and spend extended time with him and I am working towards doing that without causing hurt feelings here. I have this school year to figure out logistics and prepare the boys for me not being here 24/7. I need to give my bro and sil enough time to make alternative plans for next summer as well.
- My Dad's only living brother is almost 90 and dealing with serious health issues that are chipping away at his physical and mental health. He and my Aunt are the two I have always been closest to and the reality that they won't be around forever is setting in, just like with my Dad. I want to go see them, but I just don't have the $'s.
- A cousin by marriage that I have known since I was about 4 or 5 has cancer that they can't cure nor surgically remove. Everything being done is hopefully buying her time until research finds something to help her. I am trying to get down to southern Missouri to see her, but again money is an issue. Hoping to make it happen after next payday. Time isn't an issue since I only need a weekend.
- Since my own little "health scare", the dynamic between myself and my sister in law has changed. I know there has been a lot of change on my part, but we just don't have the closeness and friendship we once did. I see glimpses of it once in a while so I am just trying to be patient. Yesterday she let me know they were having "people over" last night. It left me wondering if she was just letting me know or didn't want me around. I made sure that I hung out in my room for an hour or so after the expected arrival, then went downstairs. Low and behold it was one of her best friends with her fiance and granddaughter. This girl is like family, so I was even more confused. Why wouldn't she just say, "Catrina and Gerardo are coming over tonight with Gia"? That is what she would have said 2 months ago, but now it's, "people coming over". It's very puzzling to me.
- No one has said, but I am expecting a pay cut next month as I won't have any kids to watch from 0830 to 1200. This, plus wanting extra money means I need to get a part-time job, preferably on the weekends. I haven't worked in the "real world" since 2009. I am so out of touch with what employers want and what makes a resume stand out that it almost paralyzes me. I am going to target retail jobs for now as I think that will be the best for me mentally. Kinda hard to carry home stress from stocking shelves. I have had a problem in the past with living my jobs and making the work the most important thing in my life. I need to make ME the most important thing. One nephew wants me to work at McDonald's, but I've done food service and would like to avoid that if possible. I'm also going to avoid convenience stores if possible as I think being around all those cigarettes would go far past the "test" point to simple insanity for me. I want to get out of the house, meet people, work and earn some money. I really want to stock or work the floor as standing behind a register drives me insane! I need to be free to move.
So, these are the things that have been weighing on me. None of them make me want a cigarette, but if the dam broke on one of these situations, well, I just don't know what would happen. I am simply trying to keep my kit updated and move forward one day at a time. It's all I can do at this point.
Thanks for letting me ramble my friends, it really helps to get all of this out and onto "paper". I even came inside I did this on the computer so I could focus on getting my thoughts down rather than fight with my phone.
This is where and how I do the majority of my posting from the convenience of my phone. The ashtrays don't bug me unless they need to be emptied...lol

They don't appear to enjoy what they're doing and they don't appear to know you exist Bike Snob
The morning was stunning. Sunny, warm, a cool breeze gently rippling through the trees. Riding the trails on my way to pick up a few groceries and drop off a library book, I maneuvered my bike deftly and politely around the throngs of runners, walkers, and other cyclists also out enjoying our ever-elusive sun, my bell in almost constant use. The streets weirdly enough were quiet in comparison, probably because half the town of Bellingham was on the trails. So on the way home with my panniers loaded down with food, I plodded along in the bike lane thoroughly enjoying being out on the road. Suddenly, and without warning, four road cyclists blew by me like they were three minutes late for a Lycra sale, scaring the crap out of me. They were lucky I didn't yank my handlebars to the left and plow through the lot of them. Leaving me in their dust, they sped on not knowing nor caring that they almost gave me a heart attack.
I'm quite aware that I am basically a dork on wheels. In my ANSI orange vest, pink helmet, colorful arm sleeves that seldom match whatever else I'm wearing, astride a tall mountain bike tricked out with side mirror, pink bell, trunk bag with a piggy button attached at the back, fenders, and extra grips on my handlebars that resemble the horns on a bull, I am the antithesis of what those road bikers were – or thought they were. Heck, I don't move fast even when I'm going downhill. So I'm sure that being behind me was like Sophia Vergara sharing the red carpet with Roseanne Roseannadanna. I get it. But c'mon! Slow moving dorkiness aside, I deserve some courtesy, if not respect. While I know no roadie with an ounce of decorum would ever have a bell, a simple "On your left!" isn't too much to ask. Just because I don't fit in with your style of cycling, doesn't mean you have to act like an ass!
I put my (near) death-by-roadies quickly aside and rode the rest of the way home with a smile on my lips and a song in my heart, (I Will Survive) perfectly content with the fact that I had to be nowhere fast.

This is heartwarming recipe inherited from my sister's German godmother, Tante Wally (pronounced valley). Perfect for anyone who likes spinach, egg and cheesy mash, it's an effortless dish that's so delicious my mum, sister and I devoured nearly all of it before I had a chance to take the picture above.
Satisfying when eaten in a bowl on its own, or a great accompaniment to sausages, you can even include a layer of white fish to produce a simple fish pie. If you're feeling extra specially lazy and just want something quick, you can buy frozen creamed spinach, but the recipe below is the lengthier version.
Serves 4 hungry adults
For the creamed spinach:
- A knob of butter (roughly 12g)
- 2 x garlic gloves (crushed)
- 1 tbsp of plain flour
- 120ml semi-skimmed milk
- 50ml single cream
- 2 x 200g bags of spinach
- 1 tsp of grated nutmeg
- Salt & pepper to season
For the rest of the pie:
- 4 x hard-boiled eggs (mashed with a fork)
- 5 x good sized potatoes for mashing
- 4 x tbsp of grated Cheddar, such as Davidstow
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C
- Start by hard-boiling the eggs for around 10-12minutes, plunging them into cold water once they are cooked so they can be easily shelled, mashed and placed to one side
- Boil the potatoes until they come apart easily and then mash with a little milk, a knob of butter, salt and pepper
- If you are using frozen creamed spinach, you can easily defrost it on a low heat in a saucepan whilst the eggs and potatoes are cooking
- If you are making the creamed spinach from scratch, start by heating the butter in a saucepan, before adding the crushed garlic cloves and cooking for a couple of minutes on a medium/low heat
- Stir in the flour and, once it's fully dissolved, start slowly whisking in the milk until you get a thick sauce
- Place the sauce to one side and prepare the spinach by putting it in a large colander and pouring over a kettle full of boiling water to wilt the leaves
- Wrap the wilted leaves in a clean tea towel and squeeze out any excess liquid
- Roughly chop the spinach and stir into the sauce over a medium heat with the cream and grated nutmeg, seasoning with salt and pepper
- Now the eggs, potatoes and spinach are ready, start assembling the pie in a ovenproof medium sized casserole dish
- First, spoon the spinach into the dish
- Then, evenly spread the eggs over the spinach

Enclosed within high walls is the Santa Catalina Monastery, an
enormous complex of rooms, pretty little plazas and ornate
fountains, a maze of narrow cobbled streets, chapels, beautifully
decorated archways and boxes of red geraniums. The thick and
brightly painted walls contain numerous cells that once housed over
200 members of the female nobility who chose to shut themselves
away from the rest of the world in a life devoted entirely to
prayer. Some 400 years later the monastery was opened to the world
and since then visitors have been able to wander through the
exquisitely finished gates and admire the valuable collection of
some of the finest examples of existing Spanish American religious
art that decorate the walls.
Today, about 30 resident nuns live out of sight in the northern
part of the complex. Noteworthy is the Orange Tree Cloister,
painted a sky-blue with beautiful murals decorating the vaulted
arches, as well as the huge 17th-century kitchen with its blackened
walls, and the long and narrow street known as Calle Toledo, which
is the oldest part of the monastery and leads to the open air
laundry where the nuns washed their clothes in large jugs filled
from the canal. Unlike any other church compound, Santa Catalina is
a masterpiece of colonial architecture, and is the most fascinating
religious complex in Peru.
The official currency is Nuevo Sol (PEN) divided into 100
céntimos. Visa is the most widely accepted credit card, but all
major international credit cards, including Diners Club and
MasterCard, are accepted in many, but not all, establishments.
Outside Lima facilities may be more limited. Travellers cheques may
also be difficult to exchange in small towns and villages, and
travellers are advised to have cash on hand. US Dollars are the
easiest currency to exchange and plenty of restaurants, hotels and
shops in the main cities accept dollars for payment.
Casas de cambio(exchange bureaux) often give better rates
than hotels and banks and can be found in any town on the tourist
circuit. ATMs are available in the main cities.

Oakland named third safest town in state
Oakland has been named the third safest town in Tennessee by ValuePenguin, which recently analyzed the FBI Crime Report to determine the safety of cities in the state. Oakland was also named the fourth safest community in Tennessee, overall.
The municipalities ranged in a crime score from 303 to 6,096, with an average of 1,901. The top five safest cities and towns are from every corner of the state.
Nashville fell near the bottom of the rankings with a crime score of 3,832 but was well ahead of the slightly more populous Memphis (657,691), which finished last.
This was true despite the fact that ValuePenguin adjusted the crime score metric for population size. The score also took into account both the amount of violent and property-related crimes per 100,000 people (more on our methodology below).
The Five Safest
Places in Tennessee
These cities have an average crime score of 349,82 percent lower than their typical peer in Tennessee. With some of the state's lowest total violent crime rates, these five are the safest places in the state.
1) Loudon — With five violent crimes and 47 property crimes, both the lowest totals in the state, Loudon is the state's safest – and among the smallest. Situated along the Tennessee River and just a 45-minute drive southwest of Knoxville, the home of the University of Tennessee, Loudon County hosts its Institute of Agriculture here. Given the presence of other schools, parks and manufacturing plants, the city's police department estimates its service population is greater than its residential coverage.
• Population – 5,710
• Crime Score – 303
2) Signal Mountain —
Signal Mountain, which registered the fewest property crimes per 100,000 people (658) in the study, is our second-safest place in Tennessee but isn't completely safe from bad characters. One of its residents admitted in April to plotting a murderous attack on a group of people in Delaware County, N.Y. These days, a fifteen-officer police department patrols the town, which boasts 18 miles of trails for hiking, trail running and mountain biking.
• Population – 7,751
• Crime Score – 331
3) Brentwood —
Ten miles south of Nashville, Brentwood recorded the fewest violent crimes per 100,000 people (50 and is the only large city in the top five (more on our population breakdown below). Its residents are among the wealthiest, with a median household income $132,738 that is 210 percent higher than Tennessee's average, plus an estimated home value ($509,172) that is 270 percent higher than a given in-state peer. Brentwood, which was incorporated only as recently as 1969, is also the home of Michael Oher, the Memphis-born NFL offensive lineman whose rise from poverty was chronicled in print and on the silver screen in The Blind Side.
• Population – 39,635
• Crime Score – 362
4) Oakland —
Thirty-five miles east of Memphis, Oakland, recorded a crime score that is 81 percent less than the study's overall average. While the town government here has excelled in safety standards, its leaders of recent years haven't escaped scandal.
One of its former mayors, Bill Mullins, was convicted of three counts of official misconduct in 2010, and another, Scott Ferguson, stepped down in 2013 as news broke that he had two wives.
Oakland replaced the latter man with the appropriately-named Chris Goodman, who has been at the helm while the city recorded the state's fourth-best crime score.
• Population – 6,976
• Crime Score – 367
5) Nolensville —
Nolensville is a close neighbor of third-ranked Brentwood and has a similarly strong crime score. With a motto of "Community, history, proximity," the town also values transparency, posting its most recent crime report on its own website. Whether you consider its publicly-provided findings from last May or the data it reported to the FBI in 2013 (more on our methodology below), Nolensville is very deserving of rounding out Tennessee's five safest places.
• Population – 6,164
• Crime Score – 382
Population Breakdown
Although ValuePenguin adjusted for population in the crime rankings, it is still difficult to compare a small town to a large city. To account for this fact, they separated the safest cities into three categories: towns with populations between 5,000 and 10,000, midsize cities with populations between 10,000 and 25,000, and larger cities with populations greater than 25,000.

This book is approximately 800 pages of meat. This is one of O'Reilly's "Documentation from the Source," generally meaning it is a document from the web that they have published in book form. If you want the current document, it is always available from www.mysql.com. I like having printed documentation, but I'm glad I didn't have to print this many pages myself.
This is a live, work in progress, that has been frozen in time for the book publishing process. That means that the information in the book is not without its issues. For example, I have found a URL that no longer exists, but I suspect it will have been updated on the web version. There are several references to sections that will be updated in the future. As long as you understand that you may have to go to the website for certain specific information, if it concerns you, you should be able to make use of this voluminous work. And there is a lot of information.
Except for the very large size, this document is written similarly to how I would write my own documentation. It is written at a somewhat higher level, mainly because the intended audience is expected to understand something about relational databases and SQL (Structured Query Language). It is a reference, after all, and not a tutorial. And as with my own documentation, sometimes there is lots of extra information, and other times there is minimal. It is obvious that this was written by several people. The flow and rhythm changes all the time.
There are two issues that I have with this document. The first I can live with, but is a bit disconcerting: Words such as "localizing" are spelled "localising" (note the "s" and "z"). Pick any similarly spelled word, and it's the same. For most words, I definitely prefer the often more efficient American versions.
The other issue is with this document in its book form. Although the colophon at the back of the book indicates that there were editors involved in the publication, it doesn't look like there was any English language editing being done. For example, there are some misspellings and even whole words that are incorrect (i.e. "where" instead of "were"). Although this may be forgiven in a live website document, these sorts of errors should never make it to a printed book.
Overall, though, there is lots of very pertinent information. I only read through the sections that I thought were relevant for me, and glossed over such things as the C API. I'll be glad to have this reference handy when I start doing some MySQL creations.

Blessed Margaret of Castello slipped silently into my awareness several years ago. I didn't know this woman with significant disabilities who lived and ministered to the marginalized people of Castello during the harsh days when medieval eyes saw only the ugliness and grossness of their contemporaries who were disabled. Then, one day, little Margaret appeared, radiant as a unblemished pearl in my thoughts. How appropriate, for a pearl has been associated with the name "Margaret" over the years.
Today her image hangs on my wall; her statute rests beside a striding St. Dominic. I have come to love her and talk with her each day. She is present as this national office strives to fulfill its mission. For it was established to promote the 1978 U. S. Catholic bishops' pastoral statement calling for welcome and meaningful inclusion for the 12 million people with disabilities and their families within the activities of our Church.
When I first began to use Blessed Margaret as a model and guide for these last days of the 20th century, I found few among my audiences knew her story. However, as increasing numbers of Catholics have come to know her, she presents herself as a powerful ally in confronting the negative stereotypes about human vulnerability. Awareness the rhetoric of the culture of death fuels the campaign which endangers the very lives of those of us who live with physical, sensory and cognitive disabilities is growing. And Margaret fully understands the pain of exclusion felt by our brothers and sisters with disabilities as they face barriers in fulfilling their God-given potential. For even her parents scorned her for her fragilities and disabilities, abandoning her as a "monster." And yet today she seems destined for eventual canonization.
The diminutive, initially nameless baby, destined to grow into a tiny, yet powerful witness of God's ability to empower the powerless, was born to a noble Italian family in 1287. Her father, Lord Parisio, was a successful military strategist who defended his mountainous Castle of Metola against all rivals. Upon learning Lady Emilia was with child, a grand celebration was planned. He needed and expected a son. All joyful plans were made to greet his heir. But all merriment was quickly canceled and the facts of the birth were quelled when the day arrived.
In addition to being dwarfed, the baby girl was blind with a twisted back and legs which were ill-matched. She was viewed by her parents as am abomination and treated with revulsion. And even today, those who write of Blessed Margaret's physical appearance persist in describing her in the odious words deemed appropriate in medieval descriptions of those "unfortunate" enough to survive in spite of "grievous" impairments.
If amniocentesis had been an option, she would surely have been aborted. It is probable Padre Cappellano, chaplain of the fort, was witness to the noble birth. And possibly it was his Christian intervention which prevented the "crippled" life from being snuffed out in an act of infanticide. There is reason to assume he retained interest in the rejected child, since she was educated in spiritual matters.
Parisio sent word the baby was stillborn while whisking her away to be nursed by servants. Later, baptized "Margaret," she thrived and began to explore her environment. Her roaming threatened to disclose her parent's lies and stricter controls had to be imposed. Increased isolation and rejection were to follow.
A medieval manuscript contends she was confined in a walled up room and later in underground chambers. During the dreary days Margaret was brought into ever closer union with the Lord and her Heavenly Father. Her spiritual insights and prayers were sources of comfort as she came to realize she was loved. The discernment that the body is merely the temporary receptacle of the soul is a comfort to many with assorted disabilities. Contending with assorted impairments is a rather common experience in the lives of our Saints. It was thus for Margaret, who continued to grow ever closer to her Creator.
Upon hearing cures were taking place near the tomb of a Franciscan friar in the city of Castello, Margaret's parents remembered their abandoned child and secretly took her to that holy place. Returning hours later to find her still praying but unchanged, they silently abandoned her again, this time in totally unfamiliar surroundings.
And so the young blind and significantly disabled girl was left to beg for her livelihood. Again, her survival depended upon the every-day miracles which sustained and comforted her. A medieval biographer notes she was taken in by Dominican nuns but her efforts to reform their conduct offended them and she was forced back onto the streets, to mingle and spread her faith in God with other marginalized and ostracized people.
We are told the family of Venturinus and his wife, Gritia made room for her in their home. She had become a Third Order Doninican and continued her long hours in prayer for all who were unfortunate and vulnerable. When she died at the age of 33, the people of the streets, many of whom were disfigured and disabled, credited her with several miracles of healing and solace and insisted she was a saint who must be buried in the place where she had spend so many hours in prayer. And there she lies today within a crystal casket, her body uncorrupted.
And her body does not show the extremes of deformities which artists have imposed upon her. She is surprisingly tiny but lies in dignity, not like the thickset, squat caricatures which have perpetuated the medieval view. The figure which stands within her Shrine at St. Patrick Church in Columbus, OH most clearly matches her body which can still be viewed by the faithful who journey to the Church of St. Dominic in Castello, Italy.
And what of Blessed Margaret as a Pearl of Great Value? Insight was fanned by the gift of a canned oyster from Japan. That can sat upon my kitchen counter for weeks before I ventured to open it. The stinky water sloshed over everything as the can slipped and the rough, crusty shell slide onto the floor. It was pried open to reveal the slimy flesh. Searching through this disagreeable substance revealed a beautiful pearl, which hangs around my neck next to my Blessed Margaret medal.
As the story of Blessed Margaret's ministry to the disabled, vulnerable and marginalized of her time is shared with today's disabled brothers and sisters and their families, a powerful connection is made. For the image of the beautiful pearl within has deep and comforting meaning for such individuals. They have learned the human body is messy and never perfect.
Blessed Margaret's confirmation that it is the soul within the earthly shell which confirms the essential value of each of His people is a message for our time, as we counter the threats of abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide and other forms of euthanasia. For Blessed Margaret is surely a saint of the culture of life and love.

I've finished a 40x60 quilt top with my green scraps. I've challenged myself to see how many donation quilts I can make from my scraps. I've also been participating in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2013 at ScrapHappy's blog. I didn't realize I had so many green scraps. I probably have enough left over for another whole quilt.
12 inch Bear Track I found at Quilter's Cache. I made 4 1/2 inch crumb blocks for the centers and then sewed all my 2 1/2 inch pieces into strips and combined with heavy muslin to make HSTs.
I've also finished a 50x60 quilt top with my purple scraps. There are many variations on the Puss in the Corner quilt block. I made 10 inch blocks similar to a pattern at Quilt Index. I made 6.5 inch crumb blocks with my purple scraps and used purple scraps for the corner 2.5 inch HSTs. The border strips were 2.5 inches in solid colors I had in my stash.
This quilt is for the Hands 2 Help Charity Quilt Challenge. It will be a Quilty Hug for Happy Chemo.

Sensory Bags
rotini noodles
paper clips
Time Commitment For Me: It took little more than an hour to find the materials needed to make the bags and fill them.
Toddler Time: 5-10 minutes. This is the most disappointing part of the project. I thought the kids would have more fun feeling the bags, trying to guess what was inside them, and matching them. Unfortunately, it really doesn't hold their attention.
Additional Comments: We've actually had these bags for a couple months now, and I rarely pull them out. Honestly, I forget that we have them. I'm afraid these bags were just a little underwhelming for our toddlers. Pin It Now!

Published on : Feb 13, 2018
Apple has taken the decision of switching up things for the release of major updates this year. It has asked its development team to hold back features that are not enough refined. While you could still expect macOS 10.14 and iOS 12 this fall, there might be a slightly shorter version of the WWDC keynote than in earlier years. Popular sources have reported that the company is concentrating on iOS 12's stability. Apple developers could now take over two years to work on new features.
iPhone X users could expect more Animojis, and so could users of the new iPad Pro if it gets a Face ID camera. Apple may also be working on a FaceTime update that will allow users to call multiple people in one go.
Rumors say iOS Developers could Port iOS Apps to Mac
What's more? Apple will allow you to share your AR view with multiple users. Imagine a board game working with multiple iOS devices. However, the wait could be yearlong for iPad users as big new features such as Split View and tab integration are expected to release in 2019. Then there's the mother of all updates: iPad and iPhone apps from third-party developers are prophesied to be released on macOS. There are not much details on this front, neither it's clear whether iOS interfaces could be seen on macOS.
The chances of using iOS frameworks such as UIKit on macOS seem to be more likely, however. This rumor could point out that Apple may by trying to merge the Mac and iOS App Stores for users to purchase an app only once and use it on a Mac, an iPad, and an iPhone.

NOAILLES, the name of a great French family, derived from the castle of Noailles in the territory of Ayen, between Brive and Turenne in the Limousin, and claiming to date back to the Iith century. It did not obtain fame until the 16th century, when its head, ANTOINE de Noailles (1504–1562), became admiral of France, and was ambassador in England during three important years, 1553–1556, maintaining a gallant but unsuccessful rivalry with the Spanish ambassador, Simon Renard. HENRI (1554–1623), son of Antoine, was a commander in the religious wars, and was made cornte d'Ayen by Henry IV. in 1593. ANNE (d. 1678), the grandson of the first count, played an important part in the Fronde and the early years of the reign of Louis XIV., became captain-general of the newly won province of Roussillon, and in 1663 was made duc d'Ayen, and peer of France. The sons of the first duke raised the family to its greatest fame. The eldest son, ANNE JULES (1650–1708), was one of the chief generals of France towards the end of the reign of Louis XIV., and, after raising the regiment of Noailles in 1689, he commanded in Spain during the war of the Spanish succession, and was made marshal of France in 1693. A younger son, Louis ANTOINE (1651-1729), was made archbishop of Paris in 1695, holding this high dignity until his death; he was made a cardinal in 1699. The name of Noailles occurs with almost confusing reiteration throughout the 18th century. ADRIEN MAURICE (1678-1766), the third duke, served in all the most important wars of the reign of Louis XV. in Italy and Germany, and became a marshal in 1734. His last command was in the war of the Austrian succession, when he was beaten by the English at the battle of Dettingen in 1743. He married Frangoise d'Aubigne, a niece of Madame de Maintenon and two of his sons also attained the rank of marshal of France. The elder, Lours (1713-1793), who bore the title of duc d'Ayen till his father's death in 1766, when he became duc de Noailles, served in most of the wars of the 18th century without particular distinction, but was nevertheless made a marshal in 1775. He refused to emigrate during the Revolution, but escaped the guillotine by dying in August 1793, before the Terror reached its height. On the 4th Thermidor (July 22) the aged duchesse de Noailles was executed with her daughter-in-law, the duchesse d'Ayen, and her granddaughter, the vicomtesse de Noailles. JEAN PAUL FRAN9oIS (1739-1824), the fifth duke, was in the army, but his tastes were scientific, and for his eminence as a chemist he was elected a member of the Academy of Sciences in 1777. He became duc d'Ayen in 1766 on his grand-father's death, and duc de Noailles on his father's in 1793. Having emigrated in 1792, he lived in Switzerland until the Restoration in 1814, when he took his seat as a peer of France. He had no son, and was succeeded as duc de Noailles by his grand-nephew, PAUL (1802-1885), who won some reputation as an author, and who became a member of the French Academy in the place of Chateaubriand in 1849. The grandfather of Paul de Noailles, and brother of the fifth duke, EMMANUEL MARIE LOUIS (1743-1822), marquis de Noailles, was ambassador at Amsterdam from 1720-1776, at London 1776-1783, and at Vienna 1783-1792. One other branch of the family deserves notice. PHILIPPE (1715-1794), comte de Noailles, afterwards duc de Mouchy, was a younger brother of the fourth duke, and a more distinguished soldier than his brother. He served at Minden and in other campaigns, and was made a marshal on the same day as his brother. He was long in great favour at court, and his wife was first lady of honour to Marie Antoinette, and was nicknamed by her Madame Etiquette. This court favour brought down punishment in the days of the Revolution, and the old marshal and his wife were guillotined on the 27th of June 1794. His two sons, the prince de Poix and the vicomte de Noailles, were members of the Constituent Assembly.End of Article: NOAILLES

Residents in Cayman will soon have the opportunity to tell the police exactly what concerns them and what they would like to see done about it thanks to a new initiative launched by the RCIPS.
Last month, 13 officers from Neighbourhood Policing knocked on dozens of doors in the Washington Boulevard area of George Town to speak directly with residents about what issues they are facing and what action they would like to see taken by various agencies in the future.
Residents were very forthcoming and welcomed the opportunity to have their voices heard, said a press release.
Officers were able to speak with senior citizens, young parents and youths and a number of concerns were identified including speeding and drug activity. Residents were also keen to suggest possible solutions including launching a Neighbourhood Watch scheme, installing speed bumps, carrying out a community clean up and increasing the police presence in the area.
Commissioner of Police, Stuart Kernohan said: 'What we are doing is known as an 'area pulse' and it's designed to help find long-term, multi-agency solutions that will benefit the entire community. People rarely come forward with quality of life complaints so it's essential we get out there and do our best to identify what issues people are living with.'
The results of the area pulse are now being analysed and a variety of solutions will be looked at by the RCIPS and other agencies, the release said.
Following the success of this first 'pulse', the programme will be rolled out across the islands to ensure that all neighbourhoods get the opportunity to have their say.

Tips For Maintaining Your Skin Healthy As well as Beautiful
Skincare should be part of your overall health and sometimes, with your busy schedule, this might be something that is easily overlooked. Skincare does not need to be complicated. There are many simple ways that are helpful in giving you beautiful looking skin. Here are some suggestions and ideas that you can follow.
It's important to exfoliate your skin gently but thoroughly on a regular basis. Exfoliation gets rid of dead skin cells and opens up your pores, which means that when you shave, you'll be less likely to get razor bumps. Exfoliation also gives your skin a polished, new look.
To keep your skin looking young and healthy, it is important to carefully protect your skin against the sun's harmful UVB rays. Wearing sunscreen with the proper SPF (Sun Protection Factor) can greatly prolong the time it will take your skin to burn. Sunscreen isn't just for the beach and summertime; using sunscreen throughout the year on your face can help reduce the risk of sun damage.
For healthy skin, get more vitamin D. This vitamin acts like a hormone within our bodies and is essential to a very large number of body functions, including those that regulate the immune system and heal pimples. Many people don't get enough vitamin D in their diets, so getting outside and getting sunlight so the body can produce its own vitamin D is an easy and important way to get more. You can also eat salmon, shrimp, sardines, cod, eggs or shiitake mushrooms for more vitamin D.

You can also eat salmon, shrimp, sardines, cod, eggs or shiitake mushrooms for more vitamin D.
Steer clear of alcohol, and your skin will likely improve. Having one drink a day can be okay, but you need to remember that alcohol can make your skin more oily. Reducing alcohol consumption will help with your appearance and breakouts.
There are several plant hormones that can help keep your skin looking healthy and help to give you a healthy, youthful look. Most of these are vegetable estrogen and applied over an extended period of time. These hormones have been shown to cause your skin to look much healthier and maintain its youthfulness.
If http://isbweblog.com/?7858629-learn-how-to-run-a-successful-senior-care-business-the-right-way you are a man and tired of the burning and stinging of aftershaves, maybe you should try a balm instead. Aftershaves contain alcohol, which really sting if you happen to have nicks or cuts caused by shaving. You should opt for a balm that does not contain alcohol so that it soothes and heals your skin.
If you have sensitive skin, be careful when trying out new products. No matter what skin type you do have, sensitivity can also be a factor. Pay attention when buying skin care products, and check labels to make sure there's no ingredients that you know aggravate your skin. If you're not sure, buy products specifically designed for sensitive skin.
If you need to reduce the time you spend on skin care, cut down on your makeup. For example, if you replace a foundation with a tinted moisturizer, you can apply it faster and with fewer mistakes. Less makeup means less time putting it on, less time taking it off, and less damage done to your skin.
Staying out of the sun is a good way to preserve your skin. Too much exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer, and also lead to rapid aging of your skin causing things like wrinkles, and age spots. If you must be in the sunlight, wear clothing or lotion to block UV rays.
Wash your hair, cure your skin problems. Oil is a major component in pimple creation, and what gets greasier than your hair? Make sure that it is held back out of your face and that your hairline gets an extra scrub when you shampoo to ensure none of your scalp oil gets spread elsewhere.
To get better looking skin without using products, be sure to get plenty of sleep. Sleep is when your skin cells regenerate and a good night's rest can leave you looking younger and rejuvenated. Sleeping also causes your body to produce relaxing hormones, which can give your face a healthy glow.
Taking care of your skin in the winter can prove difficult. Use a quality moisturizer at least twice a day, and preferably every time you wash your hands. Keep a bottle near your sink to make it easier to remember. Moisturizing your hands regularly will prevent dry skin, and prevention is easier than resolving the problem after the fact.
It may be beneficial to remove makeup in a two step process. Use a cleanser that is gentle but specifically made for removing makeup first. Then use a moisturizing cleanser that also soothes. This one-two punch allows for the complete removal of makeup, which can create break outs if left on too long.
For men who are prone to skin irritation, razor bumps, or ingrown hairs, the easiest solution may be to simply grow a beard. Continually shaving over irritated skin will result in premature aging of that area. If you are extremely prone to ingrown hairs and razor bumps, you might even notice scarring over time with constant shaving. Keeping a well-trimmed beard can look just as neat without the stress on your skin.
An important tip about skin care for your baby is to know how to identify cradle cap or seborrheic dermatitis. This is important to know, so that you can clearly identify your baby's condition and then treat it. Cradle cap is identified as a rash that appears on the upper portion of the head and face and has a rough and waxy feel to it.
For the softest and smoothest legs, do not use a body scrub before shaving. The act of shaving itself will exfoliate the skin by removing both the hair and the top layer of dead skin. Your skin will be best protected if you wait until the end of the bath to shave; this ensures that you do not soak your skin in sloughed-off skin and shaving products.
Take a few minutes each day to take care of your skin and you will be able to see (and feel) the results! Let your skin glow like your inner and outer beauty, while maintaining its health and nourishment. Refer back to the tips http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/guava.html above whenever you want to try a new form of skin care or just to brush up on your current methods.

Melasma is characterized by patchy hyperpigmentation on the face and is due to a combination of hormones and sun exposure in certain individuals. Oral contraceptives and pregnancy are known to exacerbate this condition. Ultraviolet A radiation (UVA), the type of UV rays that contribute to melasma, are present year round and penetrate through clouds and glass windows. For this reason, avid sun protection is essential to both the prevention and treatment of melasma. In addition, topical agents (over the counter and prescription), chemical peels, and some laser and light treatments can be used to achieve optimal results.

My Battle with CARB & Fuel Cans
[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ KillCarb Forum ]
Posted by SNAFU on February 12, 2012 at 00:43:49
First Off I live in a Non-CARB State.
My story starts when I went to get some new 5 gallon fuel cans, the stores didn't have any except for some new CARB compliant ones that, were quite simply a pile of junk at a high price.
the last time I purchased a fuel can it was "Halfway" decent quality and cost me $12, this was a little over a year ago, now what is being sold is of a grade that is little better than a milk bottle...and costs $30......
I later found a Scepter Military Fuel Can at a Yard sale and have since been trying to get more, only to have encountered a Socialistic Bureaucratic nightmare that would have made Trotsky, Lenen Chairman Mao, Proud....
Apparently due to CA Imposing a Fine on MFR's of Non-CARB fuel cans of $5000 per can found being used in CA (CA Resident or someone passing through) many MFR's Including Scepter have flat out stopped selling fuel cans to the general population in the US.
this by far is not where my battle has ended, in fact the pile of BS has only continued to grow at an exponential rate.
I am still searching for a source of decent fuel cans and have et to find one, but lets go on to other parts of this issue where this web of lies has spread, I may come back to the fuel cans later.
i then heard from an uncle about a new CA requirement on all Diesel powered vehicles, Ammonia Injection, something that is now being required to be installed at the owners expense and has to be replaced every 9 months due to it corroding to an unusable state by the extreme caustic nature of the chemicals used (not just ammonia), this system also reduces engine life of diesel engines by up to 70-80%.
then I find out that CARB is trying to force this BS on all other states via the fed, how I am not sure But I know my state will fight it, I have heard they have already made it mandatory on all new diesels but are trying to make it retroactive on ALL diesels.
As I mentioned above this will decrease the life of diesel engines by up to 70-80% and increase maintenance costs by approximately 10x, people buy diesels in the first place for 2 key reasons, better fuel economy, and longer engine life.
Something more than Junk Science to give eco freaks a warm fuzzy is afoot here, this site itself explains how this is hurting our economy, and if you research yourself you can find that very few EPA requirements have ever had any proven positive impact on reducing emissions or improving the environment, most times a negative impact is the case in addition with a negative impact on jobs and our economy.
the more you research the more it becomes clear that it is intentional, the real reason for why is unknown, but it "Seems" to be aimed at the destruction of this once proud intelligent and successful nation.
don't take my word for it, research it for yourself, then stop thinking of "Why we Can't" do things and start thinking of Why, and How we Can and Should do things, including getting rid of these parasitic groups who only do harm to everyone in one way or another.
Get up and do something, unless Orwells Nightmare of 1984 or worse is what you really want, even if its just as simple as getting and using a "Non-Appoved Fuel Can"....

What is tofu and why do people eat it?
Tofu, or bean curd, is derived from soybeans. It is made by curdling fresh soymilk, pressing it into a solid block and then cooling it. The liquid is discarded and the curds are pressed to form a cohesive bond. A common meat-alternative for vegetarians and vegans, tofu can be cooked in different ways to change its texture from smooth and soft to crisp and crunchy.
Originating in China, tofu was brought to Western nations in the 1960s due to interest in healthy eating. Tofu is a good source of protein that contains all of the essential amino acids. It also is an excellent source of iron, calcium, manganese, selenium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, zinc and vitamin B1. It is believed to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and has a similar structure to the female hormone estrogen and may mimic its action in the body. Tofu and all soy products contain large amounts of oxalate so individuals with a history of oxalate-containing kidney stones should avoid over consuming these products. Additionally, women who have or have had estrogen-sensitive breast tumors should restrict their soy intake.
Tofu can be purchased in bulk or individual packages. When opened, tofu should be rinsed, covered with water and kept in a refrigerated container. The water should be changed often to keep it fresh for up to one week. If tofu is kept in the original package, it can be frozen for up to five months. Extra firm tofu is best for baking, grilling and stir-fries, while soft tofu is suitable for sauces, desserts, shakes and salad dressings. Try slicing, marinating, grilling it or chopping tofu into small pieces and frying with garlic until golden. If you're feeling adventurous, Google "tofu recipes" and try making one. You may be pleasantly surprised!

Thriller / Suspense / Action / Romance
Date Published: November 1, 2017
Publisher: Regis Books
Colonel Aleksandr Talanov – the "ice man" – is married to a woman he wishes he could love. But he can't, and it's an ugly consequence of his training with the KGB. Even so, no one should have to experience what Talanov experiences: the brutal murder of his wife in front of his eyes.
Wracked with guilt and suspected of plotting her death, Talanov spirals downward on a path of self-destruction. He should have been killed, not her. He was the one whose violent past would not leave them alone. Months tick by and Talanov hits rock bottom on the mean streets of Los Angeles, where he meets a hooker named Larisa, who drugs and robs him.
But in the seedy world of human trafficking ruled by the Russian mafia, Larisa made the mistake of stealing the ice man's wallet. In it was Talanov's sole possession of value: his wedding photo. Talanov tracks Larisa down to get that photo because it reminds him of everything that should have been but never was, and never would be because an assassin's bullet had mistakenly killed his wife. Or was it a mistake?
The answer lies in Greco's Game, a chess match played in 1619 that is famous for its queen sacrifice and checkmate in only eight moves. In an unusual alliance, Talanov and Larisa team up to begin unraveling the mystery of what Talanov's old KGB chess instructor regarded as the most brilliant example of how to trap and kill an opponent. The question is: who was the target?
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
That individuals matter. Talanov sticks up for the proverbial "little guy," which in Greco's Game is an eleven year-old girl who is kidnapped by a crime lord in a trap engineered to lure Talanov to Hong Kong. In fact, fighting for the individual almost becomes an obsession for Talanov because he came from a corrupt, totalitarian communist empire, the old Soviet Union, which occupied all of Eastern Europe at the end of World War II and drained their economies for well over forty years ... in the name of "redistributing the wealth," which, in practice, meant stealing it from Eastern Europe and giving it to the Soviet elite. Thus, when Talanov sees the same corrupt practices going on in Washington, he is understandably outraged.
I saw the effects of this firsthand because for years I used to smuggle humanitarian supplies to needy people living in Soviet-occupied countries. I have stood in bread lines for hours for a single loaf of bread. I have interviewed survivors of death camps and gulags, and studied the ways of the KGB, which stripped people of their individual rights and sent them to prison for trivial and fabricated crimes. In Greco's Game, we find Talanov having to defy the United States Intelligence Community in order to save that eleven year-old girl. It's who he is, and the main reason for that is because it's who I am. This trait is personal to me because I remember the doctor who confirmed that I did indeed have cancer (in my jaw), after which he said, "No health insurance? Sorry, buddy, can't help you," whereupon he walked out of the room, leaving me alone in the examination chair. That was in San Diego, in 1991. Had I chosen to have an operation, it would have cost me over $200,000 cash. So my wife and I flew to Australia, where for $17,000, a team of surgeons opened my face up like a book and removed a tumor the size of an orange, along with half of my mandible and teeth. They then made a new jaw bone from hip bone, stole vessels and arteries from both arms, rebuilt my face, plugged everything in and hit the switch. And to everyone's surprise, I lived. I had been given eighteen months to live. It has now been over twenty-five years. The system did not care, and that doctor, as part of that system, did not care. It was entirely about the money, and a ridiculous amount at that. This is one reason the individual is so important to Talanov. That individual – me – is someone who would not now be alive had I not been important, as an individual, to someone else.
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Balancing promotion with writing, because I absolutely love both. All of us writers know we can have the best book in the world, but if nobody knows it's out there, it will go nowhere fast. We have to promote, which I sometimes find tedious and frustrating, because so much of it is reduced to social media blips. I am old-fashioned in that I love meeting readers and interacting with them, and not just interacting about me and my books, but about the lives and interests of others.
A publicist once called me both her dream client – because I loved meeting people so much – and her nightmare client – because I loved meeting people so much (i.e., spending too much time with people and not enough time on social media). I just like hanging out with you guys too much!
As for the writing part of the equation, I believe a writer should honor his or her readers with a story that's the very best it can be. That's why I spend a lot of time editing. If I'm asking you to shell out money and time for one of my books, you deserve a book that's worth your time and expense. I won't be able to please everyone; I know that. But for my part, you will always receive my very best.
How many books have you written and which is your favorite?
To date, including my upcoming new Talanov thriller, Dragon Head, I've written a total of eight books (The Second Thirteen, published in Australia in 1999, was retitled and republished as Department Thirteen). I also took most of the photos in my wife's sugar-free, gluten-free cookbook, The Recipe Gal Cookbook (2017). And I definitely got to taste-test all of her recipes!!!
As for my favorite book, not to sound corny, but my current project is always my favorite, which right now allows me to keep developing Talanov as a powerful presence in Washington and internationally. I think the unfolding political events of today, with all the forces at work to compromise and undermine this nation's strength – many of which were initiated by the KGB – is a fascinating medium for Talanov. Remember, at one time Talanov was instrumental in the design and implementation of those efforts. Now, he is one of our primary assets in exposing and stopping them, which of course pits him against many of his former colleagues, which is what we encounter in Greco' Game.
If you had the chance to cast your main character from
today, who would you pick and why? Hollywood
I am in negotiations with a film production company in Hollywood, who has asked me not to comment on this. The reason is that certain actors are actually being considered for the role of Talanov. As soon as I know more, I will post news on my Official Facebook page. So I hope you will stop by and join that community. I will also post updates on my James Houston Turner website.
When did you begin writing?
When I was ten. I had a number of teachers who knew how to channel the daydreams of this little fat kid. Elementary school was therefore where I learned my love of writing through my love of research. I also fell in love with this big, wonderful, exciting world of ours thanks to a multi-band radio I found in a dumpster behind Smith's Electrical, in my old hometown in eastern Kansas. I took it home, repaired it, shot an aerial up over a high branch in the walnut tree, which I'd strung from the elm tree up to my bedroom window on the second floor of our house. I would tune in to the world and listened to languages I could not understand. That is when I began to write, inspired by my teachers, that old radio, and the yarns spun by my dad and granddad.
How long did it take to complete your first book?
Thirty-five years. I kid you not . Okay, maybe a little, but not really, because my inspiration for Talanov – the actual KGB agent who leaked word out of Moscow that I was on a watch list for my smuggling activities behind the old Iron Curtain – occurred thirty-five years before I actually began to write his unfolding story, which had to simmer as a nascent idea on the back burner of my imagination until it finally morphed into a book, which then took me two years to write. Whew!
Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I loved Sherlock Holmes as a boy, and I have the annotated double-edition of his complete works. Those stories and Doyle's turns of phrase whetted my appetite for linguistic expression and how descriptions can create a vivid image in ones imagination. I can still see and feel those equinoctial storms pounding the windows on Baker Street.
What is your favorite part of the writing process?
Reading the completed, edited manuscript back to myself out loud. This is the proverbial icing on the cake for me, because I get to enunciate words and add drama (as well as catch cadence errors and typos).
Describe your latest book in 4 words.
Talanov breaks all the rules.
Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the future for your writing?
I recently took time away from my novels to write several screenplays. Those screenplays opened some important doors for me, but writing them retarded my growth as a novel writer. I'm glad I wrote those scripts, and I learned a lot about story structure, but my foray into screenwriting cost me dearly in terms of my novels. One thing I did learn is that I'm not a screenwriter. "Do what you do best," one film producer told me, "which is write novels. Leave the screenwriting to me." Hence, this is what I am now doing. It wasn't wasted time by any means, because my setbacks have been good teachers. The hard knocks of life – i.e., consequences – usually are. So I am now back to full-time novel writing, and I hope you enjoy the Talanov Express as it pulls out of the station picks up speed. I want to thank the great team at RABT for allowing me to join you on this exciting tour. I hope you enjoy the ride!
