I've tried contact lenses before without success. Should I try again?
Yes. Research has shown that many people who drop out from contact lenses can be successful with modern lenses. Lens designs and materials are constantly evolving – so ask us about the latest developments.
How do I know if contact lenses are right for me?
Carmel will put contact lenses on your eyes so that you can see how they feel, and will then check the lens fit and your vision. Once you've tried the lenses, you and Carmel can decide together whether contact lenses are right for you.
Can I try contact lenses before I decide whether to wear them?
Carmel usually offers a trial so you can take the lenses away with you to see how you get on with them. You'll need to learn how to look after your lenses, put them on the eye and remove them, before you take them away to try. Once you've worn the lenses, you'll need to have the health of your eyes checked and the fitting completed.
What type of contact lenses should I wear?
Think about when and where you want to wear contact lenses: every day, for going out or playing sport, or just for special occasions. Carmel will help you decide on the best type of lens to suit your needs and advise you how often you should replace them.
Are all contact lenses the same?
No. There are hundreds of different types of contact lenses and thousands of different fittings. Each lens type needs to be fitted to meet your individual requirements. Contact lenses are not interchangeable and you should never change your lens type or the way you wear your lenses without the recommendation of your practitioner.
Am I too young for contact lenses?
Young children, and even babies in some instances, can be fitted with contact lenses. Research has shown that children can be very successful and benefit from contact lens wear. Now that most contact lenses are replaced often, there's no need to wait until your eyes have stopped changing to wear contact lenses. At C Murray Opticians we normally start fitting contact lenses from age 10 yrs old, but there is some flexibility on what age we will fit lenses. You can discuss your individual requirements with Carmel.
Am I too old for contact lenses?
With modern lenses, there's no reason why age should be a barrier. Bifocal and multifocal contact lenses are available for those who need different lens powers for distance and close work, or you may want to wear contact lenses for some of the time and spectacles for the rest.
Can I wear contact lenses for sport?
Yes, contact lenses have many advantages for sport because they provide all-round, natural vision, are more stable than spectacles and are not affected by rain, fog or reflections. They allow protective eyewear or sunglasses to be worn and means a low risk of damage or injury. What type of contact lens is best for sport? Soft contact lenses are generally the best choice for active sports as these tend to move less on the eye compared to rigid gas permeable lenses (RGP) and are less likely to be dislodged. For outdoor sports, your contact lenses can also incorporate protection from ultraviolet (UV) light.
Can contact lenses protect my eyes against the sun?
Some contact lenses block ultraviolet (UV) light and, worn with other forms of eye protection, offer protection from damaging UV rays. UV-blocking lenses alone can offer some protection when wearing sunglasses is undesirable or impractical. Will I still need to have glasses? Yes. You'll need to have an up-to-date pair of glasses to wear when you remove your lenses. You may want to combine different types of vision correction to suit your eyesight and lifestyle. And you may also want to have sunglasses to wear with your contact lenses.
How much do contact lenses cost?
The cost of contact lenses varies according to the lens type and the frequency of wear. Remember that you will need to pay for check-ups as well as for lenses.
Are contact lenses comfortable to wear?
Contact lenses provide excellent comfort and vision. Most people find that they are so easy to use that they forget they're wearing them. Carmel will help you find the most comfortable lenses for your needs.
I don't like the idea of putting something on my eye. Can I still wear contact lenses?
Many people are concerned about a lens touching their eyes or putting them on but are still very successful with contact lenses. Try a lens for yourself and see how comfortable it can be. Soft lenses feel much like a drop of water on the eye.
Are contact lenses hard to put on and take off?
Applying and removing lenses takes some practice but will soon be as natural as brushing your teeth. The staff at C Murray Optician will help you get used to handling your lenses and will be on hand to give you advice.
Am I likely to lose a contact lens?
Contact lenses are very unlikely to be dislodged provided you avoid rubbing your eyes. Take care when handling your lenses to ensure they only come into contact with your clean finger and your eye. If they touch any surface other than the lens case you should clean and disinfect them before re-applying
Are contact lenses bad for my eyes?
Contact lenses are a very popular and successful way of correcting your vision and problems are thankfully rare. Contact lens-related infections affect only about four in 10,000 wearers per year and vision loss due to infection is less common affecting just six in 100,000 wearers per year
How can I check my eyes for problems with my lenses?
Ask yourself these three questions, each time you wear your lenses: do my eyes feel good with my lenses; do my eyes look good – no redness; and do I see well – no unusual blurring with either eye? If the answer to any of these questions is no, leave your lenses off and consult us immediately and we will advise you what to do next.
Can a contact lens go round the back of my eye?
The outer coating of the eye is continuous with the inner coating of the eyelid. If a lens is dislodged from the front of the eye it may settle under the upper or lower lid but cannot go behind the eye. Make sure you remove the lens if it becomes dislodged.
Do I have to wear my contact lenses every day?
No. In fact some types of contact lens, such as daily disposable soft lenses, are particularly useful if you only want to wear contact lenses part time or occasionally. Ask us for advice on the best type of lens to suit your needs.
My optician told me I have astigmatism. Can I wear contact lenses?
Yes. Almost all prescriptions can now be corrected with contact lenses, including astigmatism. Soft lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses and bifocal or multifocal lens designs are all available to correct astigmatism. These lenses are also known as 'toric' lenses.
I have two pairs of glasses, for distance and for reading. Can I wear contact lenses?
Yes. There are many convenient options for correcting your eyesight with contact lenses. You may want to have contact lenses for most situations or continue to wear glasses just for reading. Bifocal or multifocal contact lenses allow you to see clearly at various distances. Ask Carmel to explain the options available.
I normally wear multifocal glasses. Can I get multifocal contact lenses?
Yes. Bifocal and multifocal contact lenses are available in soft and rigid gas-permeable materials. You can ask Carmel about trying these lenses and the advantages of each lens type.
I suffer from allergies. Can I wear contact lenses?
Most people with allergies can successfully wear contact lenses. With the right choice of lenses, and, where necessary, appropriate medication, all but the most severely affected can continue to wear their lenses. Daily disposable soft lenses have been shown to be effective for those suffering from seasonal allergies such as hay fever.
I have dry eyes. Can I wear contact lenses?
Contact lenses are not contraindicated in most cases of dry eye and can be worn successfully even in challenging environments. Ask Carmel for advice on lens types and alleviating dryness, and check before using any eye drops or dry eye preparations.
Can I re-use my daily disposable lenses if they're still comfortable?
No. Daily disposable are designed only for single-use and must be discarded after each wear. These lenses should be used strictly on a daily wear basis and are not intended or approved for re-use or for overnight wear. Daily disposables have a low risk of problems when used correctly.
Can I wear my monthly lenses for more than a month?
No. Comfort and performance will be affected if you extend the life of your lenses beyond the recommended replacement interval. Wearing dirty or damaged lenses can put your eye health at risk. Always follow the wearing schedule and replacement frequency recommended for your lenses by Carmel.
Can I wear my contact lenses overnight?
Only lenses approved for overnight use ('extended' or 'continuous' wear lenses) can be worn during sleep and then only on the advice of your contact lens practitioner. Sleeping in contact lenses increases the risk of eye infection irrespective of lens type. Avoid sleeping in extended wear lenses if you are unwell.
I don't want to wear glasses on my wedding day. Can I wear contact lenses just for that day?
Yes, but you may find there are other occasions when you'd prefer not to wear glasses, such as for going out or playing sport. However often you wear contact lenses you must take the same care of your eyes and the lenses as you would wearing them every day and follow Carmel's advice carefully.
I don't wear glasses but I'd like to change my eye colour. Can I get coloured lenses?
You can get contact lenses that change the colour of your eyes rather than correct your eyesight. It's in your best interest to have a proper fitting and specification by a registered eyecare practitioner such as Carmel Murray. You'll need to take the same degree of care when wearing these lenses as with any other lenses and follow the recommended care procedures.
Can I buy 'fun' contact lenses to wear at Halloween?
Contact lenses are available that change the appearance of your eyes for special occasions but again you should have a proper fitting and specification and take the same care that you would with any contact lens (see above). Also remember you should never share contact lenses with anyone else.
Can I wear my contact lenses for swimming?
Carmels advice for contact lens wearers is to not wear contact lenses for swimming – or in hot tubs or whilst showering or participating in water sports – unless wearing tight-fitting goggles over the top. After swimming – or if lenses are removed and stored whilst swimming – contact lenses should be cleaned and disinfected in fresh solution before putting them back on the eyes. Carmel recommends that regular swimmers are fitted with daily disposable lenses for use with goggles whilst swimming. Wearers of daily disposable contact lenses should always discard them immediately after swimming.
What precautions should I take with my lenses when travelling?
Make sure you take all the contact lenses you need with you, including spare lenses, as well as your storage case and solutions if you have re-usable lenses. Daily disposables can be useful when travelling in difficult or unhygienic conditions or lenses that allow flexible wearing times may be appropriate.
Can I store my contact lenses in water?
No. Never allow tap water, or any other type of water, to come into contact with your lenses or lens case whatever type of lens you use. You should also dry your hands thoroughly after washing and before handling your lenses. You should also keep your eyes firmly closed if you wear your lenses for showering.
How can I tell if my soft contact lenses are inside out?
Take the lens out of the storage case or packaging and hold it on the tip of your dry finger. If the lens turns slightly in at the edges it's the correct way around – if the edges turn slightly out and the lens looks unusually flat it's inside out. Some lenses have inside-out indicators to help you. A lens that's inside out will generally feel slightly uncomfortable on the eye or will move more than usual.
Can I wear any type of eye make-up with my contact lenses?
Generally it's best to avoid putting kohl or eyeliner on the inner rim of the eyelids since this can make the lens dirty. Remember to apply your lenses before putting on make-up and remove lenses then remove make-up. You should also avoid any contact between the lenses and lotions or creams. Don't forget to check the expiry date on your cosmetics and discard them as directed.
Can I use any solution with my contact lenses?
To get the best out of your lenses it's important to use the solutions recommended to you by Carmel for your particular lens type and to follow the instructions carefully.
Are all contact lens solutions the same?
No. Different solutions contain different ingredients and may require different steps to be effective. Some lens solution combinations may be more compatible with your eyes than others so don't switch the solution you use except on the advice of Carmel

The New England Patriots' quarterback situation is among the most fascinating in the NFL.
Tom Brady's four-game Deflategate suspension actually looks like a blessing in disguise. Brady was excellent in his Week 5 return against the Cleveland Browns, suggesting the four-time Super Bowl champion is in for another big season, and Jimmy Garoppolo performed well in his absence before suffering a shoulder injury, proving the Patriots have two very capable signal-callers.
It's an enviable position to be in, as a lot of NFL teams don't even have one competent quarterback. But it creates some intriguing questions: Should the Patriots consider trading Garoppolo? How about Brady? What would the Patriots' demands be in return for Garoppolo, an up-and-coming QB, at a time when many teams are searching for their next cornerstone?
Brady is 39 years old and can't play forever, but he has shown no signs of slowing down and remains adamant he hasn't even considered retirement. The Patriots ultimately must determine how many (good) years Brady has left and whether they can risk trading away Garoppolo, who turns just 25 in a few weeks and looks like a potential franchise quarterback in his own right, albeit in a small sample size.
Garoppolo is set to become a free agent after next season, so the Patriots will need to figure things out sooner rather than later. Why wait for the organization to make up its mind when we can speculate and explore all of the possibilities, though?
ESPN.com sought the opinions of three longtime NFL team executives. Here's a sample of how each responded, based on the ESPN.com article published this week after Brady's dominant performance against the Browns on Sunday.
Executive 1: Patriots should ask for more than the Minnesota Vikings surrendered for quarterback Sam Bradford — a 2017 first-round pick and a 2018 fourth-round pick — if they trade Garoppolo.
According to this executive, first- and second-round picks would be the minimum, and two first-round picks would be the goal for New England in trade talks involving Garoppolo.
"It is the way of the world," the first exec told ESPN.com. "We are so quick to make up our minds when we don't really know. At least you know Garoppolo can do it. Can he do it for a long period of time? Quarterback is a weird deal, because out of nowhere a guy can just suddenly perform. You don't know if he can play, but he is performing."
The Los Angeles Rams surrendered two firsts, two seconds and two thirds in a trade for the first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, which they used to select quarterback Jared Goff. And the Philadelphia Eagles gave up two firsts, one second and one third as part of a deal for the second overall pick, which they used to pick quarterback Carson Wentz. So there's that.
Executive 2: Because of Brady's age, the Patriots might not trade Garoppolo unless they're overwhelmed.
According to this executive, Garoppolo's trade value might be hurt by the underwhelming performance of Houston Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler. Osweiler, like Garoppolo, had very little experience, but the Texans signed him to a $72 million contract over the offseason based on his potential.
"I have no idea," the second exec told ESPN.com. "I don't think it would be as high as the Bradford situation, because there are enough examples of guys who were backups, went somewhere and were not successful, especially when they were not with coaches who knew them well."
Executive 3: Garoppolo might be untouchable in trade talks.
According to this executive, the Patriots never have mentioned a price for Garoppolo because they haven't been interested in dealing him.
"I don't blame them," the third exec told ESPN.com. "You have an older QB, and you've got another one you like. Even if you got two ones for what could be your Aaron Rodgers coming after Brett Favre or Steve Young after Joe Montana, what two players from the college draft could come close to that?"
This exec even wondered whether Bill Belichick eventually could decide that trading Brady — not Garoppolo — is the better long-term play.

"A Moveable Feast": New and Old Portability under AC21 § 105 (Part IX)
Travel Issues The INS has taken the position that an H-1B worker who has changed employers under the portability provision but has not yet received an approval notice for the new employment may travel and be readmitted to the United States if he or she satisfies certain prescribed conditions.125 According to the INS, the individual must: (1) be "otherwise admissible"; (2) possess a valid, unexpired passport and visa (which includes a valid, unexpired visa endorsed with the name of the original petitioner)126 ; (3) establish that he or she was previously admitted as an H-1B, or otherwise accorded H-1B status; and (4) present evidence that a new petition was timely filed.127 The individual must present evidence that the new petition was filed prior to the expiration of the H-1B's previous period of admission. This evidence, the INS suggests, may be a dated Form I-797 receipt notice or "other credible evidence of timely filing that is validated through a CLAIMS query."128
These standards leave open the possibility of an H-1B worker to re-enter the U.S. after a lengthy period of travel abroad, as long as a new petition was timely filed. Consider the situation in which an individual commences employment with Company A pursuant to an approved H-1B petition with a three-year validity period. When the worker entered the United States, he or she possessed an H-1B visa and obtained a Form I-94 (arrival/departure record) with an expiration date which coincides with the final date of the H-1B petition validity period. Shortly after starting employment, he or she decides to accept a job offer from Company B. If the worker subsequently leaves the country, and does not return to the United States for a protracted period, it is arguable that the worker should be able to re-enter with the previously issued visa. The worker may maintain that as long as Company B's H-1B petition was filed within the H-1B's previous period of admission, he or she may be permitted to re-enter with the previously issued visa. Of course, the INS emphasized that the burden of proof remains with the individual to establish admissibility as an H-1B nonimmigrant and eligibility under AC21's portability provision. Given that the INS may take the position that the period of admission ends when the alien departs the U.S., a decision to opt for this approach would be made without the blessings of the authors.129
If an individual travels after beginning new employment, may he or she demand a visa in the new employer's name? The worker may try to present the Notice of Receipt and I-94, and claim that he or she is qualified for H-1B status. To obtain an H-1B visa, the consular officer must be satisfied that the alien qualifies for H-1B status.130 The alien must present official evidence of the approval by the INS of a petition to accord such classification. The approval of a petition by the INS does not necessarily establish that the alien is eligible to receive a nonimmigrant visa.131 If the officer knows or has reason to believe that an alien applying for an H-1B visa is not entitled to the approved classification, the officer must suspend action on the alien's application and submit a report to the approving INS office.132 If the individual is refused, he or she may try to challenge the consular officer's decision in federal court.
Consular officers have discretion to issue a nonimmigrant visa based on a proper application. This power has consistently been held as not being subject to judicial review.133 Despite the doctrine of consular nonreviewability, there have been cases in which the court reviewed the consular officers' decisions and ruled that erroneous legal conclusions were reached in those cases.134 Based on these decisions, the individual may try to argue that the refusal to issue a visa was an erroneous legal judgment. This position may be difficult to maintain, however, given that a court has distinguished one of these cases by finding that it involved a revocation of the visa and thus did not involve the granting of a visa.135 Given that consular nonreviewability is an entrenched doctrine, an individual may have difficulty in convincing a court to review the refusal to issue a new visa. Ultimately, it may be advisable for workers to refrain from traveling after the filing of a new petition. This is particularly true in light of reports that individuals have been stranded abroad because INS inspectors have received no guidance on the new law from INS headquarters.
125 See 1/01 Pearson Memo supra note 62.
126 See The Department of State Unclassified Telegram to All Diplomatic and Consular Posts, SECSTATE WASHDC (STATE 27960 - ROUTINE), providing that, based on the INS' position, an H-1B alien traveling abroad after accepting new employment under AC21 "will need a new visa only if the original visa has expired." According to the State Department, such a situation would be rare given that the visa and petition ordinarily share the same expiration date. The State Department provides that consular officers may issue a new visa when an applicant presents a valid passport, evidence of the validity of the old petition and evidence of the timely filing of the new petition. See also 1/01 Pearson Memo supra note 62, which states that the visa requirement would not apply to Canadians who are visa exempt under 22 C.F.R. § 41.2. According to the INS, visa exempt applicants may present a Form I-94 (arrival/departure record) or a copy of the Form I-797 approval notice with the original petition's validity dates. In the rare circumstance where the consular officer issues a new visa based on portability, the question arises of what the expiration date will be. Since the INS may not have approved the new employer's petition, there would not yet be a known petition validity date to serve as a guide for the consular officer.
127 See 1/01 Pearson Memo supra note 62.
128 The INS' Computer-Linked Application Information Management System (CLAIMS) records and tracks cases for immigration benefits, and serves as the agency's central source for document production. In recent years, the INS began tracking the number of H-1B petitions filed through CLAIMS, and focused greater efforts on supporting the CLAIMS database. See 75 Interpreter Releases 13 (January 5, 1998), 75 Interpreter Releases 261 (February 23, 1998).
129 It should be noted that the INS has magnanimously stated that if the H-1B applicant asserting portability does not possess a Form I-797 and the filing of a new petition cannot be confirmed by a CLAIMS query, he or she will not automatically be subject to expedited removal. The consequence of an order of expedited removal is that the alien would be inadmissible for five years. INA § 212(a)(9)(A)(i).

The Historical Weapon of War-Trabuco
The Trabuco was an ancient war weapon that was used in the middle age. The old war machine functioned by firing projectiles from a distance to cause destructions to the opponents. The missiles involved consisted of mostly large stones, fireballs and in some instances dead infected bodies. The distance covered by projectiles depended on the size of the Trabuco where the large ones would hurl up to 800 meters away. Again, they would fire loads of up to 140 pounds which was still determined by the size of the Trabuco.
About the Trabuco Usage
The Trabuco which is also known as the balancing Trabuco is made similarly to the catapult. What's more, the Trabuco uses the sling technique or catapult to fire projectiles. The Chinese initiated the invention of the Trabuco at around 400BC. The ancient machine worked by converting potential energy into kinetic energy to effectively fire shots. However, some of the energy dissipated in the form of friction and gravity. Moreover, the counterweight is directly proportional to the speed and impact of the projectile.
The ancient machine was easy to construct which made it easy for troops to acquire. However, the usage posed challenges since it also required many people to work in synchrony to achieve and launch a projectile effectively. Consequently, the difficulty in coordinating the number of people led to the abandonment of the machine till a modified form of Trabuco was developed. They were further classified as the balancing Trabuco and traction Trabuco where the latter was the much-developed that used a counterweight instead of humans.
Furthermore, the Europeans adopted the war machine at around 600 AD where they used it for about 300 years before the invention of gunpowder. Notably, Trabuco was also used in riots among the Christians and Muslims during the religious wars. Again, its mechanism was highly borrowed in the innovation of modern day artillery that was used in the World War I and World War II. To this present day the Trabuco is still in use but in the education sector to explain physics and also recreational purpose in remembrance of the historic machine.

The government is embroiled in corruption charges, the mandate of the people in the recently held state elections was not encouraging, and the so called allies are not being too helpful either. Not much is expected from the financial year 2013-14 budget as the country goes to elections in 2014, assuming that the UPA government manages to hold on till then.
So the budget being presented tomorrow by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, might be the only chance to push for reforms, save some face by doing it, and bring India back on the growth trajectory. One of the primary concerns this year is to rein in the Fiscal Deficit.
Last year, Mr. Mukherjee had said that the government would target a budget deficit of 4.6 per cent for 2011-12, compared with the 5.1 per cent expected for 2010-11. We are nowhere close to the targeted figures. Subir Gokarn, the Deputy Governor of RBI has predicted that the Fiscal deficit would be close to 7% by the end of March 2012. The government badly missed their own revenue and expense predictions. Government borrowing has been increasing. This has resulted in high interest rates. On the one hand the government is not able to control expenses; on the other hand, it is not doing much to improve revenues.
The four areas, which are being talked about and are very likely, the budget may target to rein in the fiscal deficit are Subsidies and welfare schemes, Foreign Direct Investment, non-tax revenues and tight fiscal management policies. Let's look at the state of and the challenges facing each one of these areas.
Subsidies and welfare schemes: Year after year, the government has rolled out more and more subsidies (fuel, food, fertilizers) and welfare schemes (MNREGA, NHRM) for the people that have now turned into giants, with ever increasing appetite for cash. Various subsidies account for close to 3% of the GDP!
On the one hand, the government spends close to Rs55,000cr in food subsidies every year, on the other, the estimated wastage of food in an year is close to 60 million tones, approximately 20% of the total production. The prices of diesel and fertilizers are far from reality and decontrolling them or reducing the subsidy might result in early polls. Apart from this, there is lack of transparency about how the money is spent on various welfare schemes. Accountability and achieving the targets should be the key words in such schemes, but they are not!
Foreign Direct Investment: FDI in aviation, retail, insurance, and infrastructure are all pending since long and need urgent attention. There are benefits to be gained from FDI apart from the capital, in terms of technology, expertise, backward and forward linkages etc. Simplifying processes for the foreign investors, reducing the number of days taken to conduct business and set up operations could all go a long way in attracting investors. Though it might now be difficult to build consensus in the Parliament and it may be impossible to push through bills like FDI in multi- brand retail.
Non-tax revenues: Divestment or sale of stake in Public Sector Undertakings is one way to raise money without putting burden on the common man. The Government failed miserably in this last year. The recent example of investors shying away from ONGCs follow-on public offering and LIC being ordered to pick up the shares to save the offer from falling through is a case in point.
Tight fiscal management policies: Except the Non-Direct Tax collections, the government has fallen short on almost all other forms of Revenues collection. The estimated shortfalls for the FY2011-12 are Rs20,000cr in Direct Taxes, Rs35,000cr in Non-Tax revenues, Rs27,000cr in Divestments and Rs37,000cr in Non-Debt Capital. The expenditure has been as budgeted to a great extent, in fact it might be lower than budgeted as on the year end. With transparency and good governance, proceeds from divestment could go up. Measures to improve the tax and non-tax collections have to be put in place, including coming down heavily on corruption, which might be leading to money going into private coffers rather than the exchequer. Voluntary Disclosure Schemes or Amnesty Schemes could be put in place to encourage people to bring back the black money stashed away in tax havens.
Overall it seems that the fiscal deficit situation that we have gotten into is mainly due to mismanagement and poor planning. Taking calculated and tough stand and having clarity in the policies will definitely help rein in the fiscal deficit.

The Attraction
When homes survive natural disasters, it is because someone — the homeowner, the builder or the building code official — did something right and something on purpose to design and build the home to survive when natural disasters strike. The Federal Alliance for Safe Homes - FLASH® has made it their mission and vision to educate the public on the perils of weather and what each person can do to mitigate its effects. In their ten year experience, FLASH has catalogued this weather story in many different disasters across the United States. What they've learned is that the essence of the story is not the house, but the families inside and their stories of survival, recovery and lessons learned. These stories inspired FLASH and its partners to create an unprecedented education and entertainment experience entitled, StormStruck: The Tale of Two Homes at INNOVENTIONS at Epcot® at the Walt Disney World® Resort.
The INNOVENTIONS attraction, located in the heart of Epcot®, is more than 100,000 square feet of hands-on, interactive exhibits where visitors from around the globe can celebrate, inspiration and the innovations that improve their lives and expand their horizons. The weather-related experience will be located in INNOVENTIONS East, one of two buildings in the pavilion at Epcot®.

September 11, 2017 (JoaniesToGo.com) – St. Louis Pizza: In St. Louis, we love our pizza. We even have our own style. Without a doubt, we have some of the greatest pizza joints in the country. And, we would like to think were at the top of that list. Even though, we might be a little biased.
In a recent study by SmartAssets, Detroit was named "The Best City for Pizza Lovers" in 2017. This study analyzed data from 150 of the biggest cities in America. In addition to having a large sample set, the study took into account many factors including: the total number of pizza joints in the city, the number of pizza joints per 10,000 citizens, average Yelp rating, and the cost of living for that particular city.
Detroiters are indeed lucky. There are 15.5 pizza joints for every 10,000 citizens. The average Yelp rating is 3.42.
Much like St. Louisians, Detroiters are blessed with their own, unique style of pizza. "Detroit style" is a cross between New York style pizza and the deep dish pizza of Chicago. Detroit's signature pizza is a square shaped pie with a crispy crust and the thickness of a deep dish pie.
Speaking of Chicago style pizza, Chicago residents might feel burned because the Windy City was not able to crack the list's top 10.
Joanie's To Go is a Soulard landmark. As we get closer to fall, no doubt you will find yourself at backyard gatherings and enjoying festivities with family and friends. Joanie's To Go Pizza is the perfect comfort food for fall activities. Put your party over the top. Enjoy a Joanie's To go Pizza with your family and friends.
Specials for month of September:
Free Toasted Ravioli with the purchase of any 14″ large pizza at regular price

A fine night - and a re-birth for me to be able to throw out some bass notes after a 20 year absence (come back Bootfood!)... All the acts were interesting, entertaining and intriguing - just how contemporary music should be (a plague upon all tribute bands and the bland apers of other people's creative energies)

"Your business can wait to be dragged, kicking and screaming...or it can lead the way.... If you're constantly reacting, you risk losing market share to innovators, while you're spending more time and resources adjusting. Being reactive is no way to run a successful business."

Executive Pay and Sustainability Linkage
RESOLVED: Shareholders request the Board Compensation Committee prepare a report, at reasonable expense and excluding proprietary information, assessing the feasibility of integrating sustainability metrics into the performance measures of senior executives under the Company's compensation incentive plans, including disclosure of the metrics and annual results. Sustainability is defined as how environmental and social considerations, and related financial impacts, are integrated into corporate strategy over the long term.
Numerous studies suggest companies that integrate environmental, social and governance factors into their business strategy reduce reputational, legal and regulatory risks and improve long-term performance. We believe sustainability should be a key metric by which executives are judged.
Linking sustainability metrics to executive compensation could reduce risks related to sustainability underperformance; incent employees to meet sustainability goals and achieve resultant benefits; and increase accountability.
Examples of sustainability metrics might include: greenhouse gas emissions measurements, the amount of toxic materials utilized in operations or production, or water consumption per unit of product output.
According to the largest study of CEOs on sustainability to date (CEO Study on Sustainability 2013, UN Global Compact and Accenture):
o 76 percent believe embedding sustainability into core business will drive revenue growth and new opportunities.
o 93 percent regard sustainability as key to success.
o 86 percent believe sustainability should be integrated into compensation discussions, and 67 percent report they already do.
PPG states that its "vision is to be the world's leading coatings company by consistently delivering high-quality, innovative and sustainable solutions that customers trust to protect and beautify their products and surroundings... Our executive compensation program is a key factor in promoting this strategy and a crucial tool in aligning the interests of our senior leadership with those of our shareholders."
Yet, the Company's long-term incentive compensation scheme does not reflect metrics for "sustainable solutions".
In contrast, DSM, a chemical and engineered materials company based in the Netherlands identifies sustainability as a core value and has established links between sustainability metrics and executive compensation. In 2010, the company integrated sustainability into the long-term incentive portion of variable remuneration. Metrics include percentage of product launches that meet ECO+ criteria, including low toxicity criteria, energy efficiency improvements and employee engagement.
The Glass Lewis report Greening the Green 2014: Linking Executive Pay to Sustainability, finds a "mounting body of research showing that firms that operate in a more responsible manner may perform better financially.... Moreover, these companies were also more likely to tie top executive incentives to sustainability metrics."
A 2012 report by the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment and the UN Global Compact found "the inclusion of appropriate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues within executive management goals and incentive schemes can be an important factor in the creation and protection of long-term shareholder value."
Adopting this proposal may mitigate risks associated with unaccountable CEO and executive pay and encourage more sustainable operations. The proponents encourage all shareholders to vote in support.

WOMEN, Politics
Question: Here are three statements about the future of women in American politics. Which one comes closer to your opinion? Someday there will be just as many women as men holding high political offices. There will be a lot more women in public offices in future years, but not as many women as men, or the vast majority of our political leaders for a long time to come will be men.

A study is made of the ratcheting growth of an elastic-plastic one-dimensional element subjected to thermal cycling in the presence of a sustained axial load. The cyclic temperature distribution across the element is taken as either linear or parabolic. The cyclic growth of the element is computed as a function of the cyclic temperature and sustained axial load.

In today's Sex and the City… (Ok… ok… I try and keep up till 12 am to catch the 2 episodes… sometimes I put hooks on my eyes to keep them open. Crucify me)… but… I need to talk about Carrie and Big and Aiden before I get to the episode.
Carrie and Aiden are dating… he is her best bf… kind, considerate, nice, funny, caring… everything Carrie is looking for… BUT… she cheats on him with her ex Big. I don't like Big (even though Carrie ends up with him eventually)… he is such a MAN… inconsiderate, self centered, emotionally unavailable. I don't know why she cheats on him… and why with Big. It doesn't matter. She confesses to Aiden. He is devastated (he has my sympathies) but forgives and forgets.
Coming to the episode… Carrie and Aiden are making love. The phone rings… Carrie does not pick up… it goes to the answering machine. It is Big calling to say hi. Things change… Aiden withdraws… starts flirting with a waitress… he is rude to Carrie. Carrie knows the reason but he refuses to talk about it… she tries to make up by going out of her way and doing things for him. Samantha (her friend) advises her to stop making these efforts. It won't change anything… and deep down Carrie knows she is right. But she carries on.
Carrie is the bad person here… but she has my sympathies. I know how she feels… the pain… the torture… the guilt. I could feel her pain (strange na???).
Aiden asks Carrie to stop talking to Big. She refuses… even though it is only fair to Aiden. I liked that. Big is not the culprit here… Carrie is… her decision is. Removing Big from her life is not the solution. How many times are we asked to do that by our partners? Its not fair… and quite illogical. If Carrie wants to cheat… she will always find men to do it with. Makes complete sense to me. Either you trust somebody completely or you don't. There are no in-betweens. Period.
People make mistakes… but they have to pay for it. Thats only fair. Our destiny is our choice… where we end up is our choice… who we end up with is our choice… our happiness is our choice… our pain is our choice. We make or break our life.
It does not matter what someone else thinks about me… if I think I am happy… I am… if I think I am successful… I am.
In the next episode… Carrie's laptop crashes… she has never backed up and her life long data is lost. Aiden buys her a new one but she refuses to accept it. He is pissed and tells her; "I have the keys to your house… I can enter your front door but how do I enter your heart?" She is afraid…. she has spent her life alone… depending on someone is scary.
Few years back I used to think it was better to find someone at an early age… makes it easier to adjust. The older we get.. the more rigid we become. We become less compromising. Now I think we are more compromising at an early age… as we grow older… we are more confident… self assured… more secure… it is easier to have a mature relationship. But relationships are scary… very scary. I remember telling Bf in Nov'07… "I don't think I can fall in love ever again". I had given up… I didn't care anymore. I had mentally prepared myself for a practical life. Thankfully… I fell in love… it is always scary letting a new person enter your life… trusting someone all over again… nobody wants to get hurt… and love hurts… it hurts real bad.
Treat love as a journey not as a destination and everything will be fine. It may not work out… but you will never regret it. If it works out… there is no happier feeling in this world.
Good night… now I better sleep. The hooks are off my eye lids.
