The Evening [OLD] NewsTuesday, September 9th, 2008
by Tao Oliveto, Carrboro, NC
I haven't watched television for several years (my local video store loves me, however!), so when I overheard some of the tv-speak while visiting family recently, I was caught unprepared for the shock. How little has changed in the mainstream media in the last decade! There's the same old stories and drama of felonious events, sports scores and the neutralized political reports. The commercial breaks are higher tech, but just as loud, fast and furious in their bombarding consumer messages.
It was the weather report that really made my heart sink. While generically debriefing viewers on record-breaking wild fires in the overly dry Southwest, the historical drought in the Southeast, the floods in the Mid-west and a number or approaching hurricanes, there was no mention of global environmental issues which are playing a large role in the increasing number of catastrophic events. In fact, major news and weather channels seem to refuse to acknowledge global warming or pose any of the how and why questions.
During the most severe part of the Southeastern drought (our resovoirs were at a mere 30% capacity through last Winter), I wrote letters and sent emails to our local tv and radio stations, imploring them to not just report on current weather conditions (partly cloudy with no chance of rain) but to use the opportunity to inform their audience of the big picture. I also suggested they supply their captive audience with ideas and encouragement regarding water conservation. I received no response.
Unfortunately, major news networks reach most of the population, most of the time, and their generic status quo pesentation leaves the mainstream with a false sense of security and encourages "business as usual". Out of sight is out of mind. We need a way to stay mindful to make change happen. It's time we know what's news.

Designer News
Where the design community meets.
3 years ago from Vasiliy Leytman
What do you mainly design? Sites, apps? Cause for me it seems pretty impossible to say view site layout at 100% scale with such a small monitor, so I always have to view it at some strange scale and work on different details. Also there are very little space for PS panels and such stuff, which definitely affects speed, not to mention harder switching between apps when in full screen mode, drag'n'dropping things between them etc.

Eva Eve: grrrls unite!
Lucka and Aubree illustrating "Eve to Eve."
Kakushe leading one of the sessions about safe sex and abstinence. She did an amazing job teaching! Alca was the leader of the weekend, and she stepped into it so naturally and beautifully, like she was made for it. Our little team was a source of joy for all of us.
Naomi and Hanicka reading the book Eva Eve as part of one of the sessions. For some of the girls, it was the first time they heard that waiting until you're married to have sex is a viable option, and that sex is more than just a physical act. They were also encouraged to take a good look at how they value themselves and to start thinking seriously about their priorities. Even for the girls who don't believe, they experienced a different viewpoint and were positive and open. Thank you for praying!!!

Microsoft's Ghostbuster
Schneier on Security:
Here's how it works: The user has the GhostBuster program on a CD. He sticks the CD in the drive, and from within the (possibly corrupted) OS, the checker program runs: stopping all other user programs, flushing the caches, and then doing a complete checksum of all files on the disk and a scan of any registry keys that could autostart the system, writing out the results to a file on the hard drive.
Then the user is instructed to press the reset button, the CD boots its own OS, and the scan is repeated. Any differences indicate a rootkit or other stealth software, without the need for knowing what particular rootkits are or the proper checksums for the programs installed on disk.
Simple. Clever. Elegant.

Solutions for Dental Practices
Online Backup and Disaster Recovery for Dentists
SecuriData offers dental practices across the UK a robust online backup and disaster recovery service, specifically designed to work with the dental industry's most commonly used software packages including Exact, Dental Plus and PracticeWorks.
Online Backup and Disaster Recovery for Dentists
Dental practices typically store their critical data on servers running industry specific management software. The ability to back up and restore that data to an operational state is as critical to a dental firm as it is to any other business.
Online Backup or Disaster Recovery?
To enable practice managers to save both time and money, SecuriData has developed two services that protect the critical data and enable a full recovery of the entire server in the event of a hardware failure.
Online backup typically allows for a full restore of any selected files, folders and databases.
Disaster recovery services enable a full recovery of the production server with all operating system files, applications and all data in a matter of minutes.
Practice managers using SecuriData's online backup service can now begin restoring files or databases immediately with the knowledge that all backup files have been automatically tested against corruption by SecuriData's industry leading online backup system.
For dental practices looking to be able to recover quickly from total server failure – SecuriData's disaster recovery service does just that. The SecuriData DR server (residing in the dental practice) will temporarily bring up a working "clone" of the failed production server so that your practice can continue to function as normal until new hardware is delivered. At this point the "clone" production server can be migrated to the new hardware at a convenient time for the practice. Total server recovery can be achieved to any previously selected point in time to allow a server roll-back to a point prior to a server data corruption or similar event.

Pentax 645z with 120mm f/4.5 lens
130 seconds @ f/5.6 @ ISO 12,800
Astrophotography is unlike almost any other photographic pursuit. 99.99% of the time the subjects being photographed are identical to those photographed by anyone else. With the exception of meteor showers and eclipses, a deep sky or planetary photograph that I take today will be of a subject that is essentially identical to that photographed by someone else on any other day.
So why bother?
Strange as it seems, there is still something compelling about producing a successful image, and both the difficulty and the pleasure of the process is undeniable.
Not long previous to this I published an article on LuLa about doing deep sky astrophotography with the Pentax 645z and iOptron SkyTracker. As luck had it, for several weeks following there were no clear skies, or if they were clear they were dominated by a full moon, which washes out the Milky Way and other deep sky objects.
100% Enlargement
As good as the SkyTracker is for doing this type of shooting, because it isn't a true telescope mount and doesn't have setting circles or a GoTo system, finding specific objects can be a challenge. I was very keen though to capture one of our nearest galactic neighbours – Andromeda (M31).
Located 2.5 million light years from us, Andromeda is a spiral galaxy much like the Milky Way though roughly twice as large. It contains 1 trillion stars. The Milky Way must look very similar to anyone there looking in our direction. The smaller galaxy about 1 degree north is M110 and the one just to the south-east is M32.
Using an App called Redshift I knew roughly where to find Andromeda, but it is located in a relatively empty part of the sky, and there are few landmarks. I was lucky though, and Andromeda turned up in my first test frame.
raw file
A two and a half minute exposure tracked perfectly using my 120mm lens. I didn't use anything longer, because A: I wasn't sure I could find Andromeda with a long lens and no setting circles or computerized drive system, and B: I actually wanted a shot that showed the galaxy floating on a large field of stars.
A longer exposure would have shown more of the faint outer regions, but the core would have burned out even more. It takes a large scope and sophisticated imaging stacking techniques to produce images much better than this. My next experiments will be with stacking.
Because of the very high resolution of the Pentax 645z's files, along with its clean high ISO, a 20X25" print of this image is arresting to see. I have more colourful deep sky images, but the simplicity of this one, along with the satisfaction of know that "I made it...", means that I'll be hanging a large framed print of it in my office shortly, something that I don't do that often.
If you click here, or on the image at the top of this page
you will download a 3 Megapixel JPG. This is made available
for your personal use only and may not be reproduced in any form
online or on any other media without expressed written permission.
You may make a print of any size for your own personal use.
© 2014 Michael Reichmann
Please note that at 100% on-screen you will see the reality of both
inevitable lens imperfections and air turbulence.
Do make a print though, as I think you'll find it of interest.
The file displays the capability of large sensor / high ISO astro-imaging,
done without image stacking or the use of specialized processing software.

For other uses, see America (disambiguation), US (disambiguation), USA (disambiguation), and United States (disambiguation).) The United States of America (USA), commonly referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a country composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.The 48 contiguous states and federal district are in central North America between Canada and Mexico, with the state of Alaska in the northwestern part of North America and the state of Hawaii comprising an archipelago in the mid-Pacific.
The territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2) and with over 324 million people, the United States is the world's third-largest country by total area (and fourth-largest by land area) and the third-most populous.
It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many other countries.
The country's capital is Washington, D.C.and its largest city is New York City; other major metropolitan areas include Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, Atlanta, and Miami.
The geography, climate and wildlife of the country are extremely diverse.
Paleo-Indians migrated from Asia to the North American mainland at least 15,000 years ago, with European colonization beginning in the 16th century.
The United States emerged from 13 British colonies along the East Coast.
Numerous disputes between Great Britain and the colonies in the aftermath of the Seven Years War led to the American Revolution, which began in 1775.
On July 4, 1776, as the colonies were fighting Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War, delegates from the 13 colonies unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence.
The war ended in 1783 with recognition of the independence of the United States by Great Britain, and was the first successful war of independence against a European colonial empire.
The current constitution was adopted in 1788, after the Articles of Confederation, adopted in 1781, were felt to have provided inadequate federal powers.
The first ten amendments, collectively named the Bill of Rights, were ratified in 1791 and designed to guarantee many fundamental civil liberties.
The United States embarked on a vigorous expansion across North America throughout the 19th century, displacing American Indian tribes, acquiring new territories, and gradually admitting new states until it spanned the continent by 1848.
During the second half of the 19th century, the American Civil War led to the end of legal slavery in the country.
By the end of that century, the United States extended into the Pacific Ocean, and its economy, driven in large part by the Industrial Revolution, began to soar.
The Spanish–American War and World War I confirmed the country's status as a global military power.
The United States emerged from World War II as a global superpower, the first country to develop nuclear weapons, the only country to use them in warfare, and a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
The end of the Cold War and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 left the United States as the world's sole superpower.
The United States is a highly developed country, with the world's largest economy by nominal GDP.
It ranks highly in several measures of socioeconomic performance, including average wage, human development, per capita GDP, and productivity per person.
While the U.S.economy is considered post-industrial, characterized by the dominance of services, the manufacturing sector remains the second-largest in the world.
Though its population is only 4.4% of the world total, the United States accounts for nearly a quarter of world GDP and almost a third of global military spending, making it the world's foremost military and economic power.
The United States is a prominent political and cultural force internationally, and a leader in scientific research and technological innovations.

Good Morning my friends,
As I wake up on this GLORIOUS Monday morning to start my new week, I can rest assure that no matter how frustrated I get with what happens in the name of politics and in this world that we live in, I will some day spend eternity in heaven with my Lord & Savior. When I look back on my days of walking in darkness, being controlled by the world and its sinful ways, I can't help but ask myself,
WHAT IF…I would've died during that time?
WHAT IF…Jesus would've returned?
WHAT IF…I would've never heard The Gospel?
"It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." (Philippians 2:13)
Although I have broken free from the shackles of sin, I do however still have faults and I do fall short daily. I still have a my moments when I let politics get the best of me.. My reaction to the news from the SCOTUS on Friday had nothing to do with the actual sin of homosexuality. My reaction was solely directed towards the Supreme Court "redefining" something they never defined in the first place. After spending 25 years in the floral industry, I think it's pretty safe to say that I've probably been around and formed more friendships with more gay men and women than the majority. To be perfectly honest, I never had a problem hugging my gay men that were customers, no more than I did hugging the straight female. Did I agree with their choice of lifestyle? No, but that didn't make me care for them or love them any less… Nor did it change the way I treated them. The same goes for my customers that that had committed adultery or the ones that had drinking problems, did drugs, looked at pornography etc… etc… Sin is sin… Their sin is no greater than my sin. I don't, have never, never will think, act or treat like I'm better in a better place than someone else.. My salvation allows me to go freely to God, often several times a day to seek refuge & forgiveness for my failures. He has transformed my life. He has changed my thoughts, my actions & my ways. He has blessed me and continues to bless me far more than I deserve. I have found my security in knowing Him, He is the One that died for me and set me free.
What about you?
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)
Jesus is the TRUTH; the One who came to set you free. When the Holy Spirit controls your mind and actions more fully, you become free in Him. You are increasingly released to become the one He created you to be. This is a work that He does in you as you as you yield to His Spirit. God does His best work when you sit still in His Presence and focus entirely on Him.
Let God's thoughts burst freely in your consciousness, stimulating abundant Life. He is the Way and the Truth and the Life. As you follow Him, He leads you along paths of newness; ways you have never imagined. Don't worry about what is on the road map up ahead because He wants you to find your security in knowing Him, the One who died to set you free.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
MY CHALLENGE PRAYER for YOU.. Find your security in the One whom died for you & set you free..
I hope you all have a MAGNIFICENT day… Blessing & much love…D
Live YOUR life like it's your LAST 24!!

Technical SEO is one of the things they gave SEO such a bad name.
July 17, 2018
Technical SEO was sometimes now referred to as old school SEO would use a setting of words terms and language that in the sense was designed to give SEO some sort of mystique that would make it well outside of the re-met and understanding of your average marketing bod and hence the reason why you should PAY an SEOer.
Terms like canonical domain checks, robots.txt, HTML / W3C validated alt tags meta data and headings analysis all part of this vocabulary.
Even in 2018, if you search Google for a free site audit, the software will scan your webpage and basically count the numbers of certain code features.
Canonical domain issues and choices really means whether or not to use www .before the domain or not. Meta data is just really a way of saving a file with a name and description. Robots txt is simply a small text document that is used by search engines to take instructions from ie do not index my login page.
URL is SEO friendly, if not then there is lots of shaking of heads, means is is your URL ie the address of your webpage in simple words as opposed in numbers ///4343/ref= etc.
Headers analysis is simply the titles within the content, do I make them H1 or H2. Neither is actually correct. H2 only has reference if there is an H1. Instead you could have actually had H4 and H5, the preceding had a value gives reference to the following value.
Alt tags are simply an old fashion way of giving an image and alternative (hence alt) description, so that should a browser not load images at least the words would appear giving the user at least an indication of what the image may have been.
An old school technical SEO would practically have a coronary if you meta title is less than 70 characters.
There has seen a number of additions which include page size and loading time, whether or not your website's mobile friendly.
A few new rules have appeared like you should have at least 2000 words on your home page.
Social media has appeared, is a website of a link to twitter, is there a blog on your website and lastly the some reason the Holy Grail is your site is accessible via HTTPS (SSL).
Is any of this relevant 2018?
My major concern with technical SEO is that it never sheds old rules, merely adds new ones. Vanilla Circus© have research every one of the common held SEO truisms and have found that although the majority have grains of truth they are far too simplistic.
For example does your website have a link to twitter, does your website have a link to Facebook. I would agree that all of these are trust signals the Google interprets and measures against the overall score of the website.
The higher the score the hire appears in Google ranking.
However what is not clear is do you actually have to link to your own Twitter account or could you just link to someone else's Facebook account.
We created a test bed of over 500 website we tested myths like building back links with exact match anchor text, whether or not links all from a single IP recounted in any way differently. We also looked at https and compared websites with and without.
What we discovered we put into our own algorithm which we run against websites. This gives a score that we think reflects Google scoring. In a sense this is the secret Vanilla Circus's success.
Technical SEO still takes precedence over creative SEO. The major complaint we hear from new clients is that all their old SEO agency does is alter meta tags and alt tags whilst ensuring that each page has an H1 heading.
Technical SEO in the style is more based in 2010 and doesn't take into consideration all of the changes and improvements that Google has made to its algorithm.
The majority of technical SEO metrics are so easy to manipulate. For example meta keywords who hasn't been guilty of adding so many additional keywords. This problem means that technical SEO signals have been downgraded in Google's algorithmic scoring.
This does not mean they're not important, it is just that their importance has been superseded by Google's advancing technology. (Google scoring the website can be anything from 0 to Infinity.)
One of the reasons why the same website is number one for a keyword for what seems like decades is because the scorer of this website far exceeds the websites that ranks second third and fourth.
On the technical SEO metrics we have spoken about invariably only ever score 1. So undertaking correct meta data, alt tags etc. are unlikely to make very much difference to your Google page position.
There are vanilla circus we still teach technical SEO. To us it is just best practice. All new technicians are shown the very best way of using these metrics to improve the work they do.
However it is the work they do, the content they create the site architecture, the internal and external linking structure and the use of language, words synonyms antonyms and sentence structures that actually command the highest scores within Google's algorithm.
This is what we refer to as creative SEO. This is what I do.

Carnival operator given deadline to remove Burnham rides
BAGUIO CITY June 26 – The City Environment and Parks Management Office (CEPMO) has given the Manila-based operator of the Burnham carnival rides a maximum of two weeks to dismantle the installed kiddie rides in a portion of the children's playground before it will impose the necessary storage charges against him. CEPMO Department Head Cordelia Lacsamana informed local legislators that the 3-month period granted by the local government for the Manila-based amusement operator lapsed this month that is why her office did not accede to the desire of the operator to appeal for extension considering that it is without the consent of the city.
She admitted that the operator tried to lobby with her office for the possible extension of the carnival rides but she claimed that such authority is lodged with the local legislative body until he decided to start removing the generator sets supplying power to the rides, thus, there are no longer available rides in the area.
However, Lacsamana claimed that the operator has requested the CEPMO that he be given until July 15, 2018 to totally dismantle the installed amusement rides but she claimed that the timetable was too long, thus, the CEPMO will be sending another notice to the operator for him to remove the rides the soonest or within a 2-week period.
"We will still conduct a thorough assessment on the damages caused by the operation of the amusement rides in a portion of the children's playground so that we could already bill the operator on the amount due for the local government that he is obligated to pay pursuant to the agreement that he will be responsible for whatever damage caused by the carnival rides to the park," Lacsamana stressed.
The CEPMO official disclosed that the carnival operator posted some P50,000 as bond form the operation of the carnival rides aside from the P500,000 lease rental that he deposited to the trust fund for Burnham Park that served as his rental for his 3-month operation.
Initially, she stated that she is not satisfied with the partial paving works done by the amusement ride operator on some damaged pavement sections of the area where the rides were installed that is why the matter will be brought to the attention of the operator for proper action.
Earlier, the local legislative body granted the authority to the amusement rides operator to put up a carnival in a portion of the children's playground for 3 months and is mandated to pay to the local government the amount of P500,000 as lease rental for the said period of operation.
The operator attempted to seek a possible extension of the operation of the amusement rides using as a reason the continuous afternoon rains during the summer months that disrupted his potentials of gaining from the said carnival apart from his alleged delayed start of operation.
Mayor Mauricio G. Domogan announced his objection to the proposed extension of the operation of the amusement rides because classes have already started and that the rainy season also entered the country that is why it will be impossible for the operator to sustain the conduct of the kiddie rides in the park with the prevailing bad weather condition in the city.
The local legislative body decided not to act on the operator's request for possible extension of the operation of the amusement rides after the local chief executive announced his objection to the proposal.

Press Release
Health over wealth, love over money
Sydney, 12 Decembery 2011: Australians consider their health, family wellbeing and love to be the most important measures of their prosperity, over solely their financial status, according to the results of a national survey launched today. But whilst these family-oriented values play an important role in our overall wellbeing, only half of us consider ourselves to be prosperous, as the year draws to a close.
The rediATM Prosperity Survey was commissioned by Cuscal, the owner and operator of the rediATM network which serves 110 financial institutions, including credit unions, building societies and banks. Conducted by Galaxy Research, it measured the views of over 1,500 Australians to understand how they presently view their overall prosperity.
Key findings were:
- Australians have a well-rounded and non-materialistic view of personal prosperity that ranks health and relationships more highly than material or financial gain. Health (22%) and family wellbeing (20%) and love/partnership (16%) are the single most important measures of prosperity, over a desire for home ownership (11%). When asked to rank the top three factors that they use to measure their overall prosperity, half of Australians surveyed mention their health or their family's wellbeing 52% and 49% respectively).
- Regional Australians view love and partnership as more important than their metropolitan neighbours (43% to 38% respectively).
- When asked to describe their present level of prosperity (including both financial and non-financial measurements), only 46% of respondents considered themselves to be quite, or very prosperous. One in four respondents said they are struggling with simply not having enough money.
- The outlook for 2012 is more balanced with over one third (35%) of Australians saying that they believe they will be more prosperous, half (52%) saying that they will remain at the same level and one in eight (13%) believing that they will be less prosperous.
- Australians have an inherently sensible approach to their long term goals: most would forgo travel and home renovation (63% and 53% respectively) first; and prioritising their family health, children's education and home ownership, if spending cuts were required to make ends meet.
- Home ownership remains a popular long term goal for nearly half (49%) of respondents, suggesting that the Australian dream of owning bricks and mortar is alive and well, although family happiness and health remains the nation's number one prosperity goal (69%).
- A significant number (58%) of rediATM customers say that their financial institution is either aligned or very well aligned with their broad prosperity goals compared with 42% of non-rediATM customers.
"Many Australians are now reassessing how they view their broader personal wealth with traditional aspirations such as health, happiness and family wellbeing increasingly being prioritised as more important than material or financial gain," said David Heine, General Manager of Cuscal.
Cath Armstrong, who runs the popular household saving Cheapskates website, agrees with this sentiment. Mrs. Armstrong commented that among her 135,000 members there has been a definite mood swing since the GFC and that this is picking up momentum.
"While people are increasingly looking for more value from financial institutions, utility companies and retailers, they are now realising that a strong and healthy family is just as if not more important than financial wealth," said Mrs. Armstrong. "Making sure the family is ok is the number one goal right now and if household spending on non-essential items needs to be cut then so be it.'
"The change of aspiration revealed by the survey, combined with more sensible management of home finances, suggests that while 2011 has been a tough year, Australians are optimistic about the outlook for 2012," said Mr. Kennedy. "This is particularly evident among rediATM customers who are happier with their financial institutions, who are often more community and service oriented."
The rediATM Prosperity Survey was conducted by independent researcher Galaxy Research and asked 1,525 respondents across six states a number of questions in order to understand the current nationwide view of broad personal prosperity. This measured financial as well as non-financial criterion including health, family wellbeing, and love. partnership, job security, time out and relaxation.

North Carolina Adventuring with Chris Baer

A random paddler finding the flake at the top of Darwin's Hole
A long scout ensued, it was definitely a "marginal monster." Mark Taylor set his eye on the center line, a bouncing, reconnecting, slope to vert to slope. After watching his very clean but bouncy line, my concerns were reconfirmed. I really didn't think I would have much control on the third reconnect. The speed and violence of the reconnect looked like it could be a career ender. So… I contemplated a far right line. It was a triple drop jumble, the first two drops looked like the tea cups on the Paralyze rapid of my local run Lake Creek. The third feature was a 40ft drop with a light reconnect half way down.

Boone NC has inspired me to revisit northern NC again and again, thanks Boone Boys.
Boone NC, hosts the most fun loving community of boaters ever.
These guys went out of there way to welcome me into there community and show me a spectacular time. We charged into rapids 12 at a time, with people in every imaginable and unimaginable eddy. Took the time to stop and enjoy beers in the amazing canyon. Showed off every blind corner, tiny slot move, and silly attainment ferry. Freewheeled off of every drop conceivable, and boofed a hand full of terrifying ledges.
Team Tiger Blood
If you haven't watched the Charlie Sheen video, where he claims to have Tiger Blood in his veins. click below.
The annual Watauga race was approaching quickly and Team Tiger blood was formed, Ty Caldwell, Tyler Mayo, James Lowry, Matt Redmond, Clay Lucas, Mark Taylor, Ryan DeKay, and I had joined forces to be the almighty cause of chaos and destruction during the race.
The Race
Imagine lining up against the river bank with 50 of your closest friends. Make sure the slowest people are downstream and the fastest upstream, so they immediately have to start making there way through the pack. Now place a bridge that is only two feet above the river level a little too close for comfort. Nascar fans use the term, "the Big One" for the amazing wreck that takes half of the cars out of the field. The Big One was about to happen on the Watauga.
GO!!!! The pack took off and as the slower paddlers were getting to the bridge the faster paddlers had approached full speed, the "big one" occurred directly under the bridge. There was screams and paddles clacking off each other, the bridge, and faces. As the posse reemerged from beneath the bridge the order of the pack was significantly altered. A couple more minutes into the race and the collisions and "rubbing is racing" attitude was in full effect. Ten minutes into the race and the lactic acid was coursing through are veins, the pack had become a single file train through only some of the rapids. The Watauga river is one of the best down river race venues I have ever attended, there is a myriad of good lines through every rapid, and this allows for constant jockeying of position. Thirty minutes in and we were approaching the finish line, State Line Falls. The top competitors were still fighting it out while entering the final rapid.
Team tiger blood won the race, by having more fun and creating more chaos then any one thought possible. Chris Gragtmans personal blamed me for his loss, lol. Eric Chance the local wonder, did have the fastest time… but who cares. The Watauga race is an amazing grass roots event that put a gigantic smile on my face.
Watch out Team Tiger Blood is out there.

The initial points of entry into the body are usually the nasal cavity for airborne viruses and the mouth for contaminants that have made their way into your body through contaminated hands. Ensuring that these contaminants do not thrive is of paramount concern and the best way to counteract the contaminants is through nasal and sinal hygiene. The first step in treating a cold or flu, like many other illnesses is awareness, as early treatment will help with managing the symptoms.
Step 1: Know when you are exposed
When you suspect that you are exposed to contaminants that may cause the cold or flu, there is no better way to help your body fight than to keep your nose and sinuses clean. The nose and sinuses are the filters that are your body's first defense against harmful contaminants. Xylitol-based solutions like the Xlear nasal spray are a little-known effective way to empower your body to fight illnesses. Xylitol, an ingredient in Xlear, inhibits the reproduction of viruses and bacteria. Research suggests that xylitol makes it hard for contaminants to stick to the mucous membranes and nasal tissues. This results in fewer respiratory infections and empowers the body's defensive mechanisms of antibiotic substances.
STEP 2: Use xlear xylitol Nasal spray
The Xlear Sinus Care system is a professional physician-developed system that is easy to use and customizable for anybody. Whether used for daily care, prevention, or mitigation of symptoms, Xlear is one of the best decongestants that provides the relief that people seek when dealing with a cold or flu.
A commonly used alternative treatment is medicated nasal sprays to treat the congestion associated with a cold or flu. However, the use of over-the-counter medicated sprays, which constrict the blood vessels in nasal passages, can have serious side effects. Medicated sprays can be very effective in treating congestion, but overuse can cause blood vessels to respond differently and develop a reliance on medicated sprays to cure congestion. This is where Xlear shines, as its ingredients are purified water, xylitol, saline, and grapefruit seed extract – all ingredients for a natural treatment that will not harm your body while fighting the cold and flu.

As a picturesque sunset set over Watsons Bay and the Sydney skyline, the world-famous DISARONNO Terrace officially launched at the beautiful Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel.
We were excited to host a mix of guests on Thursday evening at the stunning Top Deck of the Hotel, which was transformed by the world's favourite Italian liqueur into a stylish, chic terrace lounge space.
Adding to the relaxed vibe, we all loved listening to sounds from some of Sydney's hottest acoustic musicians and DJs including Duan & Only, Soulganic and DJ Minx.
As the DISARONNO Sour cocktails went down a treat, we all tucked in to a spread of traditional Italian antipasto dishes, bite-sized tortellini and delicious cannoli.
Keen for a taste of the DISARONNO action, Sydneysiders? Join in the fun at the weekly Sunday sessions. DISARONNO Terrace Sydney will be held at the Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel on Sunday afternoons throughout October and November, with a rotating line up of music artists that will mix up spring Sundays.

Please join us in dedicating the Peoria County Veteran's Memorial A FINAL SALUTE on Saturday, October 20 at 10 am in the Peoria County Courthouse Plaza. Our keynote speaker will be Retired Lt. Col. Harold A. (Hal) Fritz, US Army Vietnam Veteran and Medal of Honor Recipient.
Thousands of Peoria area citizens have served in the United States Military since World War II. In numerous wars and conflicts, Peoria's men and women have answered their country's call to service. And 106 Peoria County citizens gave their lives in defense of Country during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The Peoria County Veterans Memorial will be a fitting addition to the Peoria County Courthouse Plaza. It will be a place for visitors to reflect and reconnect with history. It will also provide a quiet place of peace and serenity; a fitting tribute to the Citizens of Peoria we wish to honor.
The design of the memorial will allow for a listing of the 106 names of the fallen from Peoria County during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The memorial design will also allow additional names to be engraved if necessary - as well as providing a brief history of the many conflicts and wars from Korea to the present and beyond. The memorial will be guarded by three bronze statues of individual soldiers in a vision of soldiers on patrol. The memorial will be located on the center section of the courthouse plaza facing Adams Street, between the Soldiers and Sailors Monument and the World Wars I and II Memorial.

Guy G. Massry, MD is a board certified Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive surgeon in Beverly Hills with special expertise in cosmetic and reconstructive revision eyelid surgery. He has been invited to lecture and teach physicians around the world about his cutting-edge advancements in blepharoplasty techniques. He has authored five top selling textbooks, including "Master Techniques in Blepharoplasty" and "Midface and Periocular Rejuvenation," as well as hundreds of peer-reviewed journal articles. As one of the most reputable blepharoplasty surgeons in the United States, by colleagues and patients alike, patients fly in from around the world to meet with Dr. Massry.
What Is Revisional Eyelid Surgery?
The eyes are usually the most distinguishing feature of a person's face. The goal of good eyelid surgery, first and foremost, is to maintain health and function of the eyes; and then to provide an improved and natural appearing outcome. Too many times cosmetic eyelid surgery results in an "operated look" or with visual problems.
Revisional cosmetic eyelid surgery (or revision blepharoplasty) can address poor results from a previous surgery. However, performing revision eyelid surgery is one of the most difficult areas of oculoplastic surgery to master. Revision surgery is more complex than primary surgery because the surgeon is now operating on scarred planes with distorted anatomy. As a result of this, there are often unknown factors, which can only be known once Dr. Massry is in surgery with the patient. This makes surgery unpredictable. In addition, it is often hard to meet a patient's expectations for the surgery, as their desire is to recreate what was present prior to the first "poor outcome" procedure.
The goal of revision eyelid surgery is to make the patient look as close to where they were before their initial procedure, but must be done safely and with realistic expectations. Dr. Guy Massry is one of the most respected national and international surgeons in revision eyelid surgery, with patients flying in from around the world for his expertise. He is one of only a handful of oculoplastic surgeons that has such great understanding and knowledge of revision eyelid surgery.
Cosmetic eyelid surgery should really only be performed by an ophthalmic plastic surgeon (board certified ophthalmologist with separate subspecialty training in cosmetic surgery of the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids and middle face (cheeks)), especially in the case of complex revision surgery, so that the patient receives the best outcome possible.
Dr. Massry – World Renowned Revision Eyelid Surgeon
During his career as a board certified ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Massry has developed a reputation among his peers as the best surgeon for revisional eyelid surgery. He has authored hundreds of peer-reviewed articles and five medical textbooks, and has lectured and trained other physicians around the world on his revision surgery techniques. Known for his expertise, other physicians routinely refer their patients to Dr. Massry for complicated revision surgeries. When it comes to choosing a surgeon for your revision eyelid surgery, rest assured that in the hands of Dr. Massry, you will receive the best care available.
When treating revision patients, first and foremost, Dr. Massry makes sure that the patient has an understanding of the realistic expectations for surgery. While Dr. Massry will do everything he can to help the patient achieve their desired results, the damage done to the anatomy in previous surgery (or surgeries) will determine to what degree the eyelids can be improved. It is not until Dr. Massry examines a patient in-person that he can truly determine if the tissue planes have been scarred, if there is good blood supply and tissue movement, etc., all of which have an impact on the outcome of revision surgery. Finally even with a complete examination, it is not until the actual surgery takes place that the true extent of the problems present becomes completely known to Dr. Massry.
Revisions Surgery After Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery
When patients undergo a primary cosmetic eyelid surgery, the goal is to reverse the signs of aging around the eyes. A successful blepharoplasty will make you look refreshed, rested and more youthful. However, unfortunately in some cases, primary surgery does not go as planned (for various reasons including poor technique by the surgeon, complications from the procedure, expectations for the surgery were not met, etc.) and the results can actually make the patient look older or change the shape of the patient's eyes in an undesirable way. When this happens, revision eyelid surgery may be necessary to restore the aesthetics and/or function of the patient's eyelids. Becuase revision surgeries are always more complex than primary surgeries, it is critical that patients find an oculoplstic surgeon who has extensive experience with revision surgery, like Dr. Massry, to lessen the risks and possible complications of additional surgery around the delicate eyes.
Reasons for Needing Revision Eyelid Surgery
Patients seek upper and/or lower blepharoplasty to eliminate the appearance of aging and exhaustion around the eyes. However, over-correction or under-correction from a blepharoplasty can actually lead to aesthetic and/or functional problems for the patient, the ultimately require revisional surgery.
The most common reasons patients come to Dr. Massry for revision eyelid surgery include:
- Retraction – the lower eyelid is pulled down and the shape of the eye has changed.
- The outer corner of the eye (lateral canthus) has been cut during primary surgery so the shape of the eye looks and feels different.
- Can't close the eyes because too much tissue was removed from the upper lid.
After examining a patient in-person, Dr. Massry will be give the patient a realistic idea of what results they can anticipate from revision surgery. In some cases, he will determine that surgery is not the answer because if performed could make the problem worse. Dr. Massry often explains to patients that revision surgery can have the domino effect – there have been a number of surgeries performed, and the problem really can't be improved much with surgery. If more surgery is performed in this instance the dominos will fall one on the other without end and things get worse – not better. Once this cascade starts there may be no further solution. Knowing who not to operate on, is as, or even more important, than knowing who to operate on. At this point fillers may be the best option because Dr. Massry can use fillers to delay or avoid surgery and help things improve. Although fillers are temporary they are most definitely a better option than a bad outcome from further surgery.
We know the need for revision surgery can be very frustrating and emotionally difficult. Dr. Massry and his staff are here to support you every step of the way.
In addition to revision cosmetic eyelid surgery (or revision blepharoplasty) Dr. Guy Massry also performs the following revision surgeries:
- Revisional browlifts
- Revisional midface lifts
- Revisional canthoplasty (surgery on the outer or inner corners of the eyelids)
- Revision ptosis repair
- Revision eyelid fat grafing

Key Features
The Philips AVENT Newborn Infant Starter Set is a great way to take care of your baby's feeding needs. The starter kit is an upgrade to the Philips AVENT Newborn Starter set by including a (PES) bottles that are more durable and longer lasting. The starter set also includes additional items such as a formula dispenser and training cup.
Infant Starter Set Newborn Starter Kit Contains:
(2) – 125ml (PES) bottles with newborn-flow teats
(2) – 260ml (PES) bottles with slow-flow teats
(1) – Bottle & teat brush
(1) – Newborn soother
(1) – Formula dispenser
(1) – Trainer cup
As your baby grows, simply change the teats to medium, fast or variable flow (read more about Philips AVENT teats)
Product Description
The Philips AVENT Classic Infant Starter Gift Set contains all the necessary items to keep your baby happy and fed. The gift set contains two (2) "classic" 125ml bottles, (2) "classic" 260ml bottles, two (2) "classic" slow flow teats, two (2) classic newborn teats, one (1) "bottle-to-first-cup" trainer, one (1) milk powder dispenser, one (1) pacifier, and one (1) cleaning brush for the bottles and silicone teats.
Philips AVENT Classic baby bottles are clinically proven to reduce the digestion of air when babies feed. The digestion of air (colic) is due to a vacuum that is created during feeding. As babies suck on a baby bottle, the air needs to replace the milk the baby is drinking. If the bottle does not allow air in, a vacuum forms. When a vacuum forms, the milk will stop flowing and babies begin to try even harder to suck milk from the bottle. As they suck, they start to digest air, which can lead to upset tummies and restlessness due to the air in their stomachs. The less air a baby digests, the better babies feel, which can lead to long sleep patterns.
The Philips AVENT Classic baby bottle set comes with two different sizes of bottles and silicone teats. Philips AVENT provides the two different sizes to accommodate a baby's growth. As a baby grows, they'll consume more milk, which means you'll need a bigger bottle (260ml), they'll also want milk faster. That's where the faster flowing "slow flow" teat comes in handy. The Philips AVENT Classic baby bottle set contains everything you'll need to bottle feed your baby.
The classic baby bottle set also comes with a "bottle to first cup" trainer that will help babies transition into using "sippy" cups. When your child is ready to start using sippy cups, the Philips AVENT "bottle to first cup" trainer is a great training aid, with its teat and soft spout features. The bottle to first cup comes with easy to hold handles. You can also attach the supplied handles to a familiar bottle so babies can get used to more independent feeding before moving to the bottle to first cup.
A travel dispenser is also included in the gift set for use when traveling. The dispenser can hold up to three pre-measured servings of baby milk powder and has a secure lid that stays closed while travelling.
There's also an orthodontic pacifier for baby that will keep them happy in between feedings. The pacifier is a flat, symmetrical teat that is designed and developed for a baby's palate, teeth, and gums.
The Philips AVENT Infant Gift Set also includes a bottle brush that helps to quickly and effectively clean baby bottles and teats.
Philips AVENT Classic Baby Bottles are 100% BPA Free

Two brothers, one passion. Powerful stage presence, sensible joy of playing and a congenialness. And most of all: One realises the tight team play, due to some 300 gigs played. There goes nothing over practicing.
Some people have accused him of being interested in nothing but drums and singing. "That's quite true" confirms the lead singer and drummer, without so much as raising an eyebrow. He lives music with every bone in his body, driving producers and sound technicians to distraction as he hears subtleties in the mix that are to be fine tuned without compromise.
"Michael the Machine" would be a suitable nickname for this bundle of energy. Not only is he a keen sportsman but also has an affinity for taking risks. And yet, there is another side to Michael: he can spend hours alone with just his guitar, writing songs. Suddenly, the action man becomes a sentimental songwriter.

The two companies employ about 6,500 people in the UK. Pfizer expects to cut the combined global workforce of 130,000 people by 15pc. This includes plans to cut its own workforce by 10pc.
Pfizer chief executive Jeff Kindler said the job cuts were "difficult and painful but very necessary" owing to a slowdown in sales. The company yesterday reported plunging fourth-quarter profits, hit by a $2.3bn legal charge.
Pfizer has been under pressure to do a deal as it faces a patent "cliff" in 2011, when it loses its exclusive right to produce cholesterol drug Lipitor.
Lipitor is the world's top-selling medicine and is worth almost a quarter of Pfizer's total sales. Mr Kindler said the Wyeth acquisition "definitively" addresses the looming patent expiry.
The tie-up is the largest pharmaceutical deal in nearly a decade and will increase Pfizer's revenue by 50pc, strengthen its number one position in the troubled industry, and transform it from a pure pharmaceutical company into a diversified healthcare giant. The cash-and-shares deal values Wyeth at $50.19 a share, a 15pc premium to its closing price last Friday.
Pfizer has raised $22.5bn of debt from a consortium of banks to help fund the acquisition, which will be paid for in a mixture of cash, debt and shares. Pfizer said it would cut its dividend by half to 16 cents a share to save money for the deal.
Wyeth shareholders will be offered $33, plus just under one share in Pfizer, for each of their shares. Although the boards of both companies have approved the deal it still faces several hurdles: Wyeth shareholders must vote it through; anti-trust regulators have to review it; and Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JPMorgan, Barclays and Citigroup must complete the financing.
Shortly after announcing the deal, Pfizer unveiled a 90pc slump in fourth-quarter net profits to $266m, after a legal settlement over allegations it marketed drugs to address illnesses they were not approved for. Net profits for the year stayed broadly the same as for 2007 at $8bn on revenues unchanged at $48bn.
Pfizer expects the tie-up to create $4bn in cost savings by the end of 2012. The deal should add to Pfizer's earnings per share in the second full year after closing.
Pfizer chief financial officer Frank D'Amelio said the combined entity would achieve revenues of $70bn by 2012 – the sum of both companies' revenues in 2008.
Wyeth chief executive Bernard Poussot will continue to run Wyeth until the deal completes, and may have a role in the enlarged group.
Pfizer, which employs 5,000 people in the UK, has its European R&D headquarters at Sandwich in Kent, and its UK business headquarters in Surrey. Wyeth employs 1,500 UK staff across sites in Berkshire and Hampshire.
Pfizer shares dropped $1.48 to $15.97, while Wyeth picked up $0.30 to $44.04, in early trade.
