Travelers, socialites or those close to their family all have at least one thing in common, we all take pictures on our iPhones to capture our memories. Snapping photos is amazingly easy since the introduction of smartphones. The photos we're taking are getting better and better thanks to great innovation for our smartphones. Unfortunately your iPhone's cameras capabilities are still limited.
Thankfully there are some amazing lenses out there you can add to your phone which allow you to take even better photos on your iPhone. olloclip recently introduced a new 4-in-1 lens attachment for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus which fits in your pocket and lets you use both the rear and front facing camera. We've had our hands on it for a couple weeks and we're ready to share our thoughts and some of our photos with you.
After I got the 4-in-1 lens out of the packaging, I had to remove the insert found on the inside of the clip that rests on the top side of my iPhone 6 Plus. The olloclip 4-in1 lens comes prepackaged with the insert for the iPhone 6 which must be removed if you're using the iPhone 6 Plus. It required a bit of force to get the insert out of the clip. Once the insert was removed the iPhone 6 Plus insert slides right into place. Maybe a bit of over kill but I grabbed a pair of needle nose pliers to use, which probably made things run even smoother.
The olloclip 4-in-1 comes with 4 lens: Fisheye, Wide-Angle, 10x Macro, and 15x Macro. The Fisheye and Wide-Angle lenses are removable and both macro lenses are inset on the clip. Instead of having to remove a lens and replacing it with a macro, they're all setup and ready to go as soon as you take of the corresponding lens which screw on over the macro lens. I've had numerous lens setups and the removal and installation of different lenses does get exhausting if time is of the essence.
The olloclip 4-in-1 setup is awesome since you always have all your lenses attached and ready for snapping pictures and if you need to access a different lens, all you need to do is remove a lens or flip the 4-in-1 around so the correct lens is positioned on the correct camera (rear or front facing). So simple and time saving!
One thing I noticed right-away though was the 4-in-1 lens required me to remove the iPhone 6 Plus self-healing case I recently started using. When it comes to snapping photos, you need to be armed and ready to go so you don't miss a shot. If you're wasting time taking off your iPhone case in order to snap on the 4-in-1 lens setup, you're probably going to miss out on a few photos here and there. Removing my beloved case did make me feel a little anxious since I do find a naked iPhone 6 Plus to be quite slippery in my hands.
To combat this, olloclip has a case you can purchase which allows you to protect your iPhone 6 without losing any functionality. Obviously this is an additional cost, but replacing a busted screen on your iPhone 6 if you drop it while fiddling around with the olloclip will cost you exponentially more than purchasing their case. At the time of our review olloclip didn't offer a case and lens package for a reduced price, which would be awesome and reduce my anxiety level from having my iPhone 6 Plus outside of its case.
#ImagesSpeakLouder is the slogan for olloclip and it truly delivers. The Wide-Angle lens delivers double the field of view for those landscapes, buildings or family photos you're trying to frame. It's so easy to capture more in your photos without taking a step back from your current vantage point while using the Wide-Angle lens.
If you're looking to spice up your photos and selfies, you're going to get a kick out of using the Fisheye lens which lets you capture shots from a whole new perspective. If you're unfamiliar with a Fisheye lens, I'm sure you can remember standing in front of a funny mirror. A Fisheye lenses vaguely remind me of those, but with style, sophistication, and maturity. The great thing about the Fisheye lens is it gives your photos a different feel and freshness without being too ridiculous—which is what you get in front of a funny mirror. The Fisheye lens is great for taking interesting selfies, group shots, and city landscapes.
A favorite fisheye photo I've seen taken by others is where they lay on the ground surrounded by trees and it's a straight shot up into the sky with the trees curving around the outer edges of the photo. Such a great way to frame a shot while capturing their surroundings. Unique yet creative photos are easy to come-by with the Fisheye lens on the olloclip 4-in-1.
Both macro lenses on the 4-in-1 are spectacular. If you're not used to getting extreme close-up shots on your iPhone, it's going to take some getting used to snapping these types of photos. Once you get the hang of it though, you'll be capturing some fine details of your surroundings—or in my case, my fingerprints. A steady hand is key to capturing great macro photos, so don't be discouraged if it takes a couple shots to get exactly what you're looking for. These subjects aren't going anywhere, so take your time to get it right.
Of the two macro lenses you get with the olloclip 4-in-1, I found the 10x Macro to be the most useful. It gets in close but not too close. The 15x Macro in my opinion requires you to get so close and you strangle out a lot of the light. Shots I took with the 15x Macro weren't nearly as good as the same shots I took using the 10x Macro.
Back in the days when I used to rock the iPhone 4 it had an olloclip on it a lot. The fit was decent and the lens options were great, but you couldn't use the lenses on the front facing camera—bummer. I know selfies weren't really a big thing back then, but I still thought it would've been cool to introduce the front facing camera to some of the attention the rear facing camera received. Thankfully the 4-in-1 does just that and you're able to expose it to all the lenses as well. The front facing camera now feels like a part of the action while enjoying the all the amazing perspectives the 4-in-1 offers.
The new 4-in-1 design is extremely functional and snaps into place in mere seconds. As I mentioned before I used it on my iPhone 6 Plus and it never felt like a daunting task to get the 4-in-1 on and off. The main difference between using it on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus model is you have to slide the 4-in-1 clip left or right depending upon which camera you're using. Since the iPhone 6 Plus is larger, the distance between cameras vary and when selecting between the front or rear camera you must slide the 4-in-1 clip into place over the appropriate camera. Otherwise your camera is obscured by part of the 4-in-1 clip.
Camera lenses are not something you keep on your iPhone at all times. So with that in mind, olloclip designed pendants the 4-in-1 clips onto so they're handy and ready to go when you need them. Included with your purchase are three different pendant colors: black, lime green, and light blue, which you can attach to the olloclip lanyard, which is also included. Now you're not digging in your purse or pockets trying to fish for your olloclip 4-in-1 lens.
Alright, I just heard what some of you are thinking, wearing a lanyard with a brightly colored pendant and lenses attached to it kinda makes you look nerdy. Well you have a point, but I started putting the pendant with the 4-in-1 in my pocket and left the lanyard hanging from my pocket. It was still quick and easy to grab the 4-in-1 out of my pocket when I needed it without having to sacrifice my street cred.
Once again olloclip got it right with their 4-in-1 lens for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. With the 4-in-1 at your side you're able to quickly and easily capturing even higher quality memories on your iPhone 6. Front facing camera capabilities you might be familiar with from the olloclip 3-in-1 design for iPhone 5 and 5s carried over into the all new 4-in-1.
When it comes to lenses for our iPhones, in my mind there are two distinct leaders: olloclip and Moment. I've had the pleasure of owning both and it's extremely hard to pick a favorite since both amazing work. Both lenses have compatibility issues with third party cases. Moment is just about ready to start delivering on their Kickstarter case project here soon, whereas olloclip already has a compatible case for you to use with your iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Price points for products are very different, but each item delivers on quality for your money.
At the end of the day it really comes down to personal preference. With that in mind though, I believe olloclip has the slight edge since they're more established in the industry and their prices are more budget friendly. Ease of use goes to olloclip as well and you're also able to use their lenses on your front facing camera, which you can't with Moment.
I highly recommend grabbing the olloclip 4-in-1 lens for your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus! Your iPhone 6 can snap some amazing photos and with the 4-in-1 attached they're even more amazing. For under $80 you get 4 four different lenses and for just under $110 you can get the 4-in-1 lens and the compatible case too. Like I said before, I wish olloclip would offer a package deal priced around $100 since it's important to keep your iPhone protected while snapping photos and removing lenses.
(5 / 5) An absolute must have camera accessory for your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus!

Seniors part time work. The labour market is changing. Part-time work is no longer just for students and women. For the last few years, whether for financial reasons or for the love of work, those sixty and over have been pushing back the age to retire. And often, they choose part time work.
The Canadian population is ageing. The result is that many sectors are experiencing employment shortages. Many companies are making considerable efforts to retain their employees who are over sixty years old. While not long ago they were not very popular with employers, today they are being sought out more and more.
Seniors part time work: Undeniable assets
Seniors are an experienced, loyal and disciplined workforce. In industries such as construction, the technical professions or retail, where the lack of qualified employees is critical and putting business growth in peril, these experts are a gold mine. In Canada, the Rona, Home Depot and Canadian Tire chains have fully understood this and offer positions as consultants or specialist clerks in priority to seniors. The same trend is happening at Walmart, which took 9th place among the best Canadian employers for workers 50 years old or more. Seniors also can transmit their skills and train new employees. They can thus help to retain expertise within a company.
In addition, these older workers are often more open to flexible or part-time schedules. From a financial point of view, a part-time employee costs a company much less than a full-time employee.
Why choose part time?
Seniors part time work is more common. Most seniors who have reached retirement age keep working for financial reasons, either to avoid drawing on their savings or because their retirement income is inadequate for their needs. When you are not able to find full time work, some will have to juggle several jobs to secure a decent income. But money is not the only motivation. Far from it.
For many of them, working is an excellent way to remain socially active. With today's longer life expectancy, why would you not keep working if you are still fit and healthy? For some people, retirement can be synonymous with boredom and routine. Many people feel rejected when they stop working.
The pleasure and satisfaction of being useful, achieving, sharing and participating in society – aren't they what's at the very heart of work? By holding a position for several days a week, these active seniors have the best of both worlds – having free time while continuing to build social links and earning extra income.

Speeding Up - Livin' the Good Life
Mar. 10th, 2014
08:43 am - Speeding Up
I'm speeding up the GAPS introduction diet a bit. I'm on week three of a four week meal plan. I found that I was getting signs of ketosis (dizzy, nauseous, klutzy) and was losing too much weight really fast. At the end of last week, I started eating a few dates when I experienced those symptoms and immediately felt better. This means to me that I simply need more carbs than this diet allows. I'm not willing to be that uncomfortable. I'm still basically ON the diet, but I'm messing with it a little bit. I have to listen to my body!
I'm feeling better (more energy) every day, and that's what I've been looking for. When it seems like I'm running on only 2 cylinders, I don't consider myself well yet, even if my other symptoms have improved. I won't settle for anything less than the ability to go full-throttle!

I honestly can't believe how fast the weekends go by. Fall will be here in a blink of an eye. On Friday evening we went to our friends new house for dinner. It was so great to catch up with them. I don't think I have seen them for a year. They also have two daughters so Kenna loves having friends to play with. She is always excited when she has friends to play with. At our friends house we had some of the best food I have eaten in a long time. It was delicious. We had steak, sweet corn with lime and Parmesan, grilled potatoes, salad made with veggies from their garden, and an amazing homemade salad dressing. Then to top it off root-beer floats for dessert. Holy cow I was stuffed when we left. I was worried about putting Kenna to sleep with no nap and for the fact it was two hours past her bed time, but I guess sleeping is a lot more fun when you have cute new pjs. Kenna and I found these cute pjs at a garage sale earlier in the week.
Saturday I woke up crabby. First our coffee pot broke and then our umbrella for our patio broke. I was so excited to use the patio on Saturday morning, with the chickens finally gone and our umbrella wouldn't work. I am telling you I was having zero luck on Saturday morning. Luckily Travis found our tiny back up coffee pot that someone gave me for a gift for my classroom. Then my handy-dandy husband was also able to fix the umbrella. It doesn't close all the way, but at least it opens. At noon we headed to our friend's going away party. She got a new job in Milwaukee and we are going to miss her a ton. After our first party we dropped Kenna and Emmy off at my parents house. My dad and step mom watched them overnight for us. A whole night to ourselves. It is so weird when I do not have the girls with me, I always feel like I am missing something. After we dropped of the girls we went to our friends David and Erin's annual bean bag tourney. It is such a great idea. Everyone comes with a dish to pass and their own beverages. Once you get there you put your name in a hat and pay a small entry fee. They randomly select teams and the games begin. I think it is awesome that they randomly select teams so nobody tries to stack their team and it is a great way to meet new people. My team lost right away, so I got to sit around, eat, drink, and cheer other teams on. Not a bad gig. Throughout the night we ended up playing more bean bags and games. I got paired along side my friend Michele during some of the games and she made me laugh so hard. She is so funny:). Overall it was such a great night with great friends. Travis and I are very lucky.
With the girls gone you think I would be able to finally catch up on sleep on Sunday, but nope I was up at 7 AM. As soon as I wake up I instantly miss the girls. It is eerie how quiet the house is and how there is nothing going on. Once Trav got up we went for a walk and then got ready for church. At church we met my dad, step mom, my sister, and the girls. I was so excited to see them. After church we headed to Willow River for a picnic and walk. At Willow River they are draining the lake to fix the dam and it looks so different. It is kind of sad that there will not be a lake there anymore. Hopefully they eventually dam it back up. It was such a fun spot for the kids to swim. After that we ran a couple errands and then finally we made it home to relax. Just like that another weekend flew past. What is your favorite thing to grill? I am pretty sure steak is my favorite.

At the start of Boro's 2016/17 Premier League campaign, it seemed almost impossible that any youth team player would break into Aitor Karanka's first team.
Yet after the disappointment of relegation back to the Championship and the appointment of new manager Garry Monk; players of the football club's famous academy can now dream again of a breakthrough, into what should be a team challenging for promotion once again.
Indeed, we already know from Monk's first press conference he intends to give youth a chance if they are "Good enough and ready enough".
1. Dael Fry:
A name familiar to most fans. Dael Fry was the only ever notable breakthrough into Aitor Karanka's squad.
However, fresh from World Cup triumph with England's under 20's side, the forthcoming season could be pivotal in the defenders development as a player.
Despite Fry bursting onto the scene in the first game of the 2016/17 promotion season with a solid performance in a 0-0 draw with Preston North End.
As the season progressed Fry found opportunities very limited although did, later feature in a run of defeats to Rotherham United and Charlton Athletic.
Fast forward to the start of the last Premier League campaign and young Fry was loaned out to the Millers, however, was recalled before January had even hit.
Ever since then Fry has only made one first-team appearance, during a 0-2 defeat to Manchester City in last year's FA Cup.
Nevertheless, with the departure of Ben Gibson looking inevitable and the return of Calum Chambers to Arsenal, the Middlesbrough-born lad will be looking to establish himself as a mainstay in Garry Monk's newly inherited squad.
2. Harry Chapman:
Another of England's under 20 World Cup winning side would be young winger Harry Chapman.
Chapman first caught the eye of fans thanks to his spectacular solo goal at home to Torino in the under 19's Champions League knock-out stages.
He then later won the under 21's Premier League player of the month award in December for his performances during November 2015. Chapman would then join, at the time League ones Barnsley helping them win the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and promotion via the play-offs.
He then returned to League 1 action a season later, signing for Sheffield United. Where he again impressed, most notably for scoring a first career hat-trick against Leyton Orient.
Despite injury Chapman also helped guide the Blades to the League one title and a second promotion in 2 years for the youngster.
The 19-year-old now faces the task of forcing his way into the clubs first team picture but you simply would not put it past him due to his new found experience. As well as his sharp technical ability.
3. Callum Cooke:
Next up is the first youngster to have not been part of the World Cup squad, although Cooke has already represented the three lions at various different age groups.
However, Cooke has yet to be given any sort of opportunity at his boyhood club. Similar to Chapman, Cooke alongside Fry was part of the under 19's Champions League team which produced some magical moments for the young guns during Boro's promotion season.
Not only this but once again like Chapman, Cooke impressed massively during his most recent loan period with Crewe Alexandra. The English-born midfielder netted 4 goals and gained 6 assists during only 17 appearances whilst on loan.
In one of, if not the best loan spells of any young player last season. Standing him in great stead for a potential chance at the beginning of the season. In what will be Garry Monk's first pre-season as Middlesbrough FC manager.
4. Alex Pattison
Finally, we have 19-year-old Alex Pattison. The third midfielder of the 4 youth team players.
Ultimately, Pattison, baring Fry was one of the only other youngsters to get some sort of a chance with former manager and Spaniard Aitor Karanka.
The midfielder featured in last year's pre-season games against the likes of Doncaster and York City. Impressing in both games, although mainly in a 0-2 away victory in which Pattison along with another ex-academy player, Stewart Downing scored in either half to give their hometown club a second victory in the 2016/17 pre-season campaign.
Pattison like Fry, Chapman and Cooke will be hoping he gets his chance to impress and potentially make his way into the squad for the first game of the season away at Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 5th of August. As Garry Monks men begin their first season back in the Football League.
Would you like to see youth players given more of a chance at Boro? If so, who would you introduce? Drop a comment below!

are you tired of hearing about my pizza adventures?
too bad.
i made pizza on wednesday,
but i did it the super fast and super easy way.
and i mixed it up a little bit by doing
a chicken alfredo version.
lots of short cuts and hardly any actually cooking.
i bet this took me around 10 minutes to put together.
instead of making my own pizza dough,
i bought a tube.
instead of making my own alfredo sauce,
i bought a jar.
then i diced up some onion and garlic and
cooked it in a little bit of oil and butter.
i removed the onion and garlic and threw in
some chicken strips.
i browned them on each side for 3 minutes in the
garlicky remains and then cubed the pieces.
i spread out the dough on my pizza pan and
added a little alfredo sauce.
don't add too much because alfredo is runnier than
marinara and i feel like it can make pizza soggy.
then i sprinkled on my onion and garlic,
(you could totally add mushrooms too,
but ronnie would have killed me.)
and added some seasonings.
[italian seasoning, garlic salt and red pepper]
then i diced up some fresh spinach,
(you could leave it whole,
but ronnie and i don't roll that way.)
added my chicken cubes and
(here's the best part)
sliced up some fresh mozzarella.
waaaaaay better than the stuff shredded in a bag.
and here's a little tip i learned from watching the pioneer woman:
put your fresh mozzarella in the freezer before you start
so by the time you're ready to slice it up,
it's has a solid consistency that makes it easier to cut.
totally worked.
then i threw it in the oven at 425 for about 15 mins.
easy easy easy
and ronnie dominated it.
like for real,
we hardly have any left.
*** this is also really good as an appetizer too. see here for more details. ***

This winter I was invited to take part in a two person art show at The Arts Center here in Corvallis, Oregon. This show meant a lot to me–it's the first time an actual art venue has approached me to show my work, which is pretty cool for an unestablished artist like myself.
To make things even better, the Corvallis Gazette Times even ran a story on the show in their weekly entertainment feature.
This piece actually sold during the show.
Here are my two favorite pieces from the series installed at The Arts Center; sorry for the poor quality, my cell phone did its best.

Fab - posted on 08/23/2015 ( 7 moms have responded )
Good evening,
First day here.... :) I have a 9 year old daughter. Her biological father and I broke up (7/2007) after he choked me, I called the police and he was arrested. She was 10 months old at the time. He would occasionally take her Tuesday and Friday after work and bring her back the same day. I have never filled for custody nor child support.
In 6/2009 I met my now husband and we married in 11/2010.
In 2012, Her Biological father moved 5 hours away and it REALLY took a toll on her. She was devastated, she was not focusing in class, her grades started to drop.... My husband and I started spending more quality time with her and soon she was back to her normal, happy self.
She has been an amazing child overall, shes top 3 in her class and her grades are amazing. Her biological father would come and visit his family and her every 3-4 months.
8/2014- Biological father comes to visit.... He picks up our daughter and my daughter calls me that shes having a horrible day. Apparently biological father brought his girlfriend of 1 month, and her 2 daughter with him!
My daughter was so bummed because he didn't tell her before hand. I explained to my daughter that its okay, he probably was embarrassed, etc...
She also learned that they were then living together.
So my daughter got over it and he would come every 2-3 months, with his girlfriend and her kids. My daughter started asking question like "If they live together, doesn't that mean he is spending time with his girlfriends little girls (ages 2 and 8)? That is not fair mommy!" "Mommy, why doesnt my dad spend time alone with me anymore?"
I was heartbroken!!
As of 2-3 months ago, he has been visiting more often, every time with his GF and her kids.
Every time my daughter is on the phone with him, she begs him for alone time with him. She wants at least 30 minutes of his undivided attention but he always says he cannot leave his GF behind!!! My daughter is tired of it and my husband and I are too!
My husband is an awesome father, he loves my daughter and my daughter loves him, we have never blocked her biological father from her, but now I really feel like moving and cutting ties with him forever. Its painful to see my daughter seeking and asking for attention from him and I DO NOT want her doing this with men in the long run....
He has been very insulting as of lately too...
Have any of you been in a similar situation?? I really need your support....
Thanks in advance! :-)
and just a little FYI, my husband has been in my daughters life since she was 2, he has raised her and she has called him daddy since after we were married. He is an outstanding father, he gives her attention, helps her with homework, buys her necessities, takes her on daddy/daughter dates.

You have GOT to be shittin' me! 1136hrs
So I'm travelling back from Amherst last night (Bowdoin lost btw…) and I"m on I95 North, just past the Kennebunk Service Area. It's about 2030hrs, traffic is light, bus says outside temp is 35, light mist, I can see from my tires that there's a ton of spray coming up telling me the roads are just wet, and I can tell by the amount of times I'm having to clean my windshield that they've sprayed a shit-ton of Calicium-chloride down.
Now picture this; I've got the cruise control set at 69, passing a few, but being passed by ALL the flat-landers from Mass & Connecticut… I come across two locals doing 45 & 46 in the #1 (travel) #2 lanes… traffic is light and I see them up ahead enough that I slide from #1 lane to #2… then about a half mile later I slide to #3 (the "Hammer" lane) to pass both of them. I get around their slow-motion drag-race… slide into #2 lane…then again about a half mile later, well clear of the other two, slide back into lane #1… as I'm checking my mirrors changing lanes nice and slow… I notice a car coming up hot & heavy on my ass… no sooner had I complete my lane change and sure enough… the pretty lights come on, and I don't mean a K-Mart Special Sale.
Hit the directional, slowly slide into the break-down lane and take my sweet-ass time coming to a stop. Hit the hazards, turn on the drivers' overhead light and open the door… 30 seconds later, Mr. Saucifer is at my door-stoop giving me the two finger salute to climb my ass out of my comfy-seat and join him in a conversation on the ground.
Here's the conversation that ensued:
Officer: "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Me: "Yessir, my cruise control was set at 65"
O: "Don't you think that's awfully fast and unsafe in this vehicle What were you doing in the passing lane? I clocked you doing 66 in a 65!!" (Note that I can tell by this point he's PISSED! All tensed up and ready to deliver some swift Statey justice…
M: "Um.. I was cruising along doing the speed limit when I came across those two doing a slow-motion drag race… rather than slam on the brakes and panic everyone behind me, I slowly made my way to a legal passing lane, passed the two slower vehicles and return to the travel lane."
O: "And you don't think that speed is unsafe for these conditions?!?!" (He's almost shouting now…)
M: "Um… no, my digital temperature gauge says it's 35 out, the speed limit on the pike hasn't been lowered, I can see the vast amount of water-spray coming off my tires which tells me the roads aren't freezing, I can further tell the roads have been heavily treated with calcium by the amount of times I'm having to clean my windshield, so I'm traveling at the posted speed limit and passing those cars that are traveling slower."
O: "Gimme your license and registration"
M: (Hands them over… he says nothing and walks away… I proceed to tell my passengers how he's pulling me over for doing 66 in a 65).
Ten minutes later…
The officer walks up to the door… I meet him at the bottom step… he JAMS, forcefully, the registration and my license into my hand;
O: "You're all set" and walks away so fast that by the time I walked up the three steps to the drivers' seat, he had traveled the length of the bus, crossed to his drivers' side and was just closing his door!
I think he was pissed because I "embarrassed" him sts in front of my passengers' by knowing the road conditions, paying attention to my surroundings and the fact that even doing only 65… compared to someone going 45 it LOOKS like I was doing 80… why in the hell he bothered to pull me over when his radar only said 66 is beyond me… apparently a slow night on the Turnpike!
Needless to say, after our little delay with Mr. Power-control-freak… we made it back without further incident… oh by-the-way… we DID hit snow (and lots of it!) at the I95/I295 connector and I DID have to back my speed way down because of weather conditions… in fact I295 speed was already lowered to 45 by the time I hit it, but I ended up having to do around 40 most of the way.
I really wish now, in hind-sight, that he HAD given me some kind of ticket…I would have LOVED to embarrass that cop in court as to whom exactly REALLY is the driving / road / conditions expert… he who puts on maybe a few hundred miles a MONTH… or me who puts on a few hundred miles a DAY!! ROFLMAO
Right now not working again today or tomorrow at least…dispatch says probably Thursday through the weekend.

Well it made it to CapitolFax so I guess it has gone 'mainstream' so to speak. For those who have not seen it here it is.
Asked about the tax increase she did not seem to have an answer that she wanted to share with the person with the camera. Not sure where the 'private' thing was coming from since it looked like she was in someones front yard. Not a textbook example of how to deal with someone with a camera asking you questions during a campaign.
I have known Stephanie for a few years now and never really had an 'issue' with her, it has been interesting how the relationship with the Mayor has changed over the years, but that is true of most Alderman in Aurora. I also know she has read this blog from time to time. One of candidates she beat in the primary is also a friend of mine but like I said, I don't have any issues with her.
That all being said, how she feels about the tax increase is a legitimate question.
Does she support the tax increase? How would she vote on a repeal and would she change her vote based off of pressure from the speaker? Thanks to the Tribune's coverage of Madigan's involvement in her primary
They are legitimate questions, questions that deserve answers. Stephanie, it may not be in your interests to answer the questions, but they deserve answers, also we are going to hold you to those answers.

A. G. Anderson, of Mariposa township, who owns four hundred acres of good land, was' born in Finneroja sicken.
Skaraborgs lan, Sweden, August 28, 1844, a son of A. P. Anderson who emigrated to the United States in 1871 and
during the remainder of his life made his home with our subject, passing away in 1907.
A. G. Anderson, who was the only child born to his parents, was educated in the schools of Sweden and subsequently
worked as a farm hand until 1869, when he came to the United States. For one year he was employed in the coal mines
of Pennsylvania, but in 1870 he continued his way westward and took up a homestead on section 4., Mariposa township,
Saunders county, Nebraska. His first home was a dugout and he worked on the B. & M. Railroad in order to secure
the necessary money for his living expenses. He spent enough time on the homestead to prove up on the place and
subsequently devoted his entire attention to its development. For five years he lived in a dugout and then erected
a substantial frame dwelling. He also built barns and outbuildings and planted a number of trees, thus increasing
both the value and the attractiveness of his farm. He had the usual experiences of the pioneer and also suffered
from the grasshopper plague which devoured every green leaf about the place in two hours. During the days when
there were many difficulties to be overcome he persevered, having faith in the ultimate prosperity of the region,
and the years have proved the soundness of his judgment. He now owns four hundred acres of well improved land which
yields him a handsome income. He carries on general farming, although formerly he devoted a great deal of attention
to feeding stock for the market.
On the 13th of January, 1876, Mr. Anderson was united in marriage to Miss Christina Jacobson, who was born in Sweden
but came to the United States in 1872. She passed away January 22, 1907. Their first child. Oscar F., who was born
January 13, 1877, died in May, 1877. Their other son, Herman David, was born March 27, 1878, and married Miss Amanda
Peterson, June 8, 1904. To this union have been born three children. Luella, Harold and Dorothy.
Mr. Anderson has been a lifelong republican and is stanch in his advocacy of the principles of that party. His
religious faith is indicated by the fact that he holds membership in the Lutheran church. He has served as trustee
of his church and takes a keen interest in the moral and religious advancement of the community. He and his son
are farming in partnership and are recognized among the progressive and efficient agriculturists of the county.

Video may help police identify 4-wheeler thieves
Conroe police are hoping video footage of three males will help them identify the men who stole a four-wheeler early Tuesday morning.
Police responded to an alarm at a specialty tool building in the 2300 block of North FM 3083 at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sgt. Joe Smart said.
Although no one was on scene when police arrived, video footage captured three males in hooded sweatshirts removing some of the fencing around the building and taking the four-wheeler, Smart said. Police are still waiting for the video.
The four-wheeler was valued at $8,900, he said.
This case has been assigned to a detective.
• A construction site was burglarized over the weekend, resulting in thieves stealing $3,100 in power tools.
The burglars broke the lock on an on-site trailer between 1 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. on Monday, Smart said.
Workers reported the theft when they returned to work in the 100 block of FM 830.
There is no surveillance footage of the incident, but the case will be assigned to a detective, Smart said.
• A tattoo parlor was burglarized between Sunday morning and Monday afternoon.
Employees closed up the store in the 2000 block of North Frazier Street at 6 a.m. Sunday and found about $2,000 of drug paraphernalia missing when they returned around 1:30 p.m. Monday, Smart said.
The burglars had smashed the front door in to gain entry and took various items including pipes, he said.
This case will be assigned to a detective.
• A woman who allowed a man to reside in her vacant Conroe home returned Monday to find that the man had left and taken some of her items.
The man was staying at the residence in the 700 block of Old Magnolia Road for about a month, Smart said.
When the woman checked the home Monday afternoon, Smart said a box of hand tools and a compact refrigerator were missing.
The items are valued at $300, he said.
This case will be assigned to a detective.

Laser UltraLift Questions
Q – What is the Laser UltraLift?
The Laser UltraLift is a surgical procedure developed at the Abergel Institute to rejuvenate the eyes, eyebrows, jowls, cheeks, and neck. The Laser UltraLift is designed to address significant tissue laxity and sagging due to both gravity and aging. The Laser UltraLift provides the longest-lasting results, identical to a traditional facelift.
Q – How do I know if I'm a good candidate for the Laser UltraLift?
The best candidate for a Laser UltraLift is a patient over forty-five to fifty years old who is exhibiting heavy eyebrows and eyelids, baggy lower lids, loss of cheek bones, looseness of skin of the face and the neck, a jowly appearance, wrinkling of the perioral region, and deepening of the nasolabial folds.
Q – What happens during a consultation for a Laser UltraLift?
During the consultation with Dr. Massey & Dr. Rahimi, you will be evaluated and assessed to determine if the Laser UltraLift is right for you. You will be informed of the benefits and risks associated with the procedure to help you make an informed decision. Dr. Massey & Dr. Rahimi will make some recommendations and answer any questions that you may have. You will also be given an opportunity to view photographs and a DVD and to speak with our previous patients.
Q – Where do Dr. Massey & Dr. Rahimi perform the Laser UltraLift?
The Laser UltraLift is performed in our state-licensed surgery center which is adjacent to St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica where Dr. Massey & Dr. Rahimi have privileges.
Q – What form of anesthesia is the Laser UltraLift performed with?
General anesthesia is used for the Laser UltraLift.
Q – How is Laser UltraLift performed?
The Laser UltraLift is tailored to each individual. While the most important concept is tissue repositioning, the procedure combines several of the best plastic surgery techniques including laser eyelid surgery, browlift, facelift, necklift, fat implant, chin implant, liposculpture, laser peel and other advanced techniques.
Q – How long does the Laser UltraLift take to perform?
The Laser UltraLift usually takes three to four and a half hours to complete.
Q – Can I drive myself home after my Laser UltraLift procedure?
Because general anesthesia is used, you will not be able to drive yourself home afterward and will, instead, spend the first night of your recovery in a recovery facility located across the street from our surgery center.
Q – Where are the incisions made for the Laser UltraLift?
The incisions for the Laser UltraLift are located around the ears.
Q – Will the Laser UltraLift leave scars?
The incisions made for the Laser UltraLift, located around the ears, will result in scars though they tend to be well concealed.
Q – Will I experience much pain after my Laser UltraLift?
There is usually very little pain during the recovery after the Laser UltraLift.
Q – What can I expect of the recovery after the Laser UltraLift?
You will spend the first night after your surgery in a recovery facility located across from our surgery center. You may then return to your home or hotel on the next day. There is generally very little pain due to the less invasive techniques which are used. Most patients can return to work within ten to fifteen days.
Q – When can I return to work after undergoing the Laser UltraLift?
Most patients can return to work looking more youthful and refreshed within ten to fifteen days after the Laser UltraLift.
Q – How soon can I exercise after undergoing the Laser UltraLift?
Light exercise, such as walking, can typically be resumed within three to four days after the Laser UltraLift. Heavy workouts will need to be postponed for about one month.
Q – When will my stitches be removed after my Laser UltraLift?
The stitches are removed one week after the Laser UltraLift.
Q – What are the risks of the Laser UltraLift?
Cosmetic Surgery, like any surgery, has risks. During your consultation, the possible complications of the Laser UltraLift will be discussed in detail to enable you to make an informed decision.
Q – Is the Laser UltraLift covered by insurance?
When surgeries are performed for medical reasons, such as excessive hooding of the upper eyelids, impaired vision, and breast reduction, insurance may cover part of the cost of the procedure. We will assist you in checking with your insurance carrier.
Q – How long do the results of the Laser UltraLift last?
It is difficult to predict how long the benefits of the Laser UltraLift will last since personal factors like genetics, sun exposure, smoking, obesity, and illness affect the aging process. However, the results of the Laser UltraLift are long lasting and identical to those of a traditional facelift.

Readymade vs from scratch sauces, condiments & pizza bases
To make from scratch or to buy readymade — that is the question, not only when it comes to pizza bases, but also sauces and condiments. Here are some of the arguments on both sides — the final decision needs to be based on your customer base and the way your business is positioned in the marketplace.
* The time and effort of preparing sauces and condiments from scratch equates to more workhours and staffing costs. They typically need to be prepared well in advance of service, which means staff need to come in earlier, and the need to monitor cooked sauces means you may need more staff than otherwise.
* Pizza bases made from scratch need to be rolled out and prepared with a certain level of skill — the dough needs to be 'burped' to prevent bubbles appearing in the base once the pizza is cooked.
* Readymade sauces and condiments are competitively priced and available to suit a wide range of styles and quality levels. This makes them a cost-effective choice and allows you to find ones which suit your needs and satisfy customers.
* The high quality of today's readymade products means customers typically can't tell whether or not you have bought them in or prepared from scratch — many sauces and condiments are comparable in quality to those you'd make yourself.
* Even when using readymade sauces and condiments, you can still modify them by adding extra ingredients to make your sauces or pizza toppings something special that stands out from the crowd.
* Making your own sauces and condiments gives you complete control over the ingredients and flavour profile. You can create highly distinctive tastes that differentiate your business from the competition, bringing customers back because they can't get those some flavours anywhere else.
* In creating a pizza base from scratch, you have the opportunity to test-run various recipes to find the one that will work best in your oven, and then stick to it.
* Making from scratch enables you to choose only certain suppliers, which can be utilised as a promotional tool for your business (for example, the fact that you use only locally sourced produce).
* From-scratch production makes it easier for you to accommodate particular customer requests or even to tailor your menu to meet specific dietary needs, such as creating an entirely gluten-free menu.
* While from-scratch is doubtlessly more labour-intensive, this extra investment of time and effort can pay dividends especially for businesses positioning themselves at the upper end of the market.

Vacationing on the Saint Martin's Island
By Javed Ahmad
Last month (i.e., November, 2004), during the Eid holidays my wife and I went for a short visit to
We started from
We boarded on the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport
Corporation (BIWTC)'s passenger ferry boat (which is run and funded by the
government) around that
started for the destination at 10. Again it took us about 2 hours to reach the
island. When we reached there, it was .
We checked in into our hotel room at Prasad's
The ferry boat journey was an interesting one. All the passengers were in pretty good mood, cheering, singing, gossiping on the boat roof while enjoying the breeze. Suddenly, a group of young chap began singing the following parody,
"Amar Allah nobijir nam
Bhai bon amarae paach taha dan
Amar Allah nobijir nam
Shai teha
dia ami jamu
Amar Allah nobijir nam
Amar Allah nobijir nam
Murgir ran khaia ami homu paloan
Amar Allah nobijir nam
Paloan hoiya
Amar Allah nobijir nam
Shaikhanae giya homu Taliban
Amar Allah nobijir nam
Tarpor kormu
Amar Allah nobijir nam"
As well as some other parodies; this broke in laughter among the crowd enjoying their performances. During our travel there, we came across with some wonderful people who instantly became friends. In some cases, we teamed up together in our island exploration endeavors. That way we could save up a little too by renting faster transports like speed boats, etc. at a later time.
The ferry journey was quite safe and the sea was also very quiet. The fare was Tk.300.00 per person for round trip for the 1st class passengers. Although it was called first class, basically all the seating were same except for that the first class seats were in limited number on a higher platform. But the truth of the matter is, few people actually remained on their seats during the travel. Instead, they wondered around the boat enjoying the sea view and the breeze.
At the island hotel, there was a restaurant, but it operated on order basis. We had to tell them that we are interested in dining there and had to tell them what to prepare for us from their menu. In turn, they told us approximately when to expect the meal service. Since it was already lunch time and we are new, we decided to dine at the hotel. So we placed our order and went for a swim at the beach very near to the hotel.
We were in the water for about 3 hours! My wife is so crazy about being in the water that I had to remind her constantly that we have stayed in the waters long enough and we should go back to the hotel. Around we went back to our hotel room to take a shower and freshen up.
It was a small room good enough for two with an attached full bath and a veranda or balcony from where one could see the front entrance of the hotel and of course the open sea.
Surprisingly, we found the climate on the island to be warm while it was pretty cold at Cox's Bazaar. Even after sunset it was warm and comfortable. Therefore, it was safe and enjoyable to lie on the beach till around until the breeze felt little cooler. At Cox's Bazaar we rented the beach easy chairs for Tk.15.00 per hour, but on this island the rates were much higher! We had to pay Tk.30.00 per hour during day time while Tk.20.00 per hour in the evening. On the second day however, when they got to know us a little gave us a concession rate, which was Tk.20.00 flat for the whole night. We ended up staying there till 9 anyway. Yes, there is room for bargains.
Bargains also take place at most of the activities on the island. For instance, you could bargain on hiring a guide on the island, renting a boat to go to other connected small islands, renting a rickshaw or a rickshaw van, making purchases on the island, etc.
Our guide was a young kid (about 8 or 9 years old) whose name was Alsaber; a nice kid full of enthusiasm knowing a lot about the island. We really enjoyed his company. He managed to answer pretty much all our inquisitions and showed us around the island. We paid him approximately Tk.20.00 per day and had meals together whenever we ate. He also helped us carry our bags to and from the hotel (that's how we met), for that we paid extra Tk.10.00 each time he carried them. Many of these island kids are very interesting guides. Whatever they earn, they contribute them to their family. And their parents, who are also the inhabitants of the island, are usually coconut sellers or fishermen keep an eye on their kids' activities. In general, the young generation of the island are very friendly and interested in tourists, but the older population appeared to be a little reserved and conservative. They seem to like to keep little distance from the tourists while interacting only if they have to. We have had few chances to interact with few adults on the island, and we found them very polite and helpful. For instance, we wanted to visit the Marine Park which was an hour walk from the main area, an owner of the bicycle rental stand helped us find a rickshaw van (there are only a few rickshaws on the island) that we hired for Tk.150.00 to and from the park. The van puller was also a nice man, he took us from the bazaar area to the west side of the island and took us to the park and came back to the bazaar from the eastern side, circling the island.
It was not an easy trip though, as it is really hard to pull the van on the sand. At times we had to get off the van and walk or push the van till we crossed the soft sand areas. The trip took us about a couple of hours altogether.
The so called
This is to note however that there is now power supply on the island. Usually the bazaar uses shared generators to light up the stores, shops and restaurants. They usually stay open till 11 pm. The hotels however have their own generators. Our hotel had power till , after that we were given a hurricane lamp for each room. Water supply is there, which is pumped up using a water pump (powered by the generator) to the roof top tank for supply of running water in the bath rooms. In most of the places on the island, people use tube wells. Since the island is standing on the dead corals, the water level can be found only after digging about six feet. The water is sweet and safe to drink.
Usually in the evenings, since the island is dark, tourists stay at the hotel, some playing cards in their room balcony, some sitting on the roof top watching the moon, stars and the sea waves, while some are singing outdoors with listeners surrounding them sometimes singing along.
We have noticed that most people visit the island only for few hours and leave the island the same day. That doesn't give them enough time to explore the island. If all the facilities are known, then I think the island can be explored completely in one day. For that one need to stay one night on the island. But two days would be more than sufficient to explore the island with ease. Now let me list the main places of interest on the island:
No one told us about the prayer
images of the saints on the
We met a gentleman at the scuba diving place who is an island environmental activist. He stays on the island sometime during the year and takes part in different social activities helping the local people to understand the importance of their children education and their safety through protecting the island from environmental pollution. He seemed to be very worried about the well being of the island because of the coming of the commercial minded business people who are building new high rise hotels with modern facilities. He told us by answering his own question, "Where do all the chemicals that are used to clean the toilets (Harpic for example) go? Into the ocean, isn't it?!"
He argued that the corals are very sensitive under water plants which are the foundation of the island. This coral protects the ocean life in many ways, therefore, we need to be careful in preserving them. Otherwise, the whole island would be at risk. His arguments seem very logical, so I agreed with him. Go and see him if you would like to enlighten yourself; very interesting stuff.
Now you could pretty much guess how we have spent our two days on the island. Yes, we were busy running around trying to see as much as possible, but still we missed some. Eventually, on the 2nd day, we had to prepare to leave the island as our boat arrived to pick us up. Every day this BIWTC boat as well as a private one arrive on the island with passengers from Teknaf and then leave the island for Teknaf again at . A lot of visitors come and leave the island daily.
The inhabitants of the island are basically poor, although they own their own lands, homes, boats, etc. Their normal way of life is fishing all year round. Only during the winter season, they get to see the tourists. Tourists like us go there and spend some money which vibrates the island economy for few months. That's why they welcome the tourists and tries to earn some extra cash by selling coconuts as a source of natural drink (they are huge in size and normally sells for Tk.6.00, but when we were there, we had to buy them for Tk.10.00 each!), dry fishes, and by providing services like transporting them in and around the island using their rickshaws, vans and boats.
Someone told me that the total inhabitant of the island is around 5,000 only. And pretty much they all belong to the same family and know each other. Only few outsiders are living permanently on the island. As a result, the island is free of crime and criminals. It is safe to move around the island anytime. They say, if they detect any criminal or a bad person on the island, they all work together to chase him out of the island for good. That indeed shows a sense of unity among them.
Their forefathers took over the island for about 250 years
ago. Since then, many have sold their land and properties and moved to Teknaf and settled in the mainland area. Many are thinking
of leaving and selling off their share of the land. This has caused the real
estate price to go up, especially after the arrival of the hotel owners. Now
one kani (which is about 10 kathas)
of land sells for about Tk.4 lac; which is pretty
high for
I've met an outsider who lived on the island for about a year. He came on the island as a teacher at one of the Madrasa's. He said only during winter time the island is calm and quiet, but in the remaining of the year the island is a fearful place. During the rainy season it rains a lot and the whole island becomes a mess, and during the summer season, the island is always windy and gets hit by high strong ocean waves. Sometimes the waves are so huge and strong that they lift a boat as high as few stories high building and slams it on the shore breaking the boats into pieces! It's a fearful scene, he said. He is not interested to stay there for another year. No wonder why Human Ahmed abandoned his dream residence of the island.
Life could be very dull on the island if the tourists do not visit the island. To tell you the truth, we began to get little board on the third day and were actually happy that we were leaving!
No matter what, the island is still very clean and the water there is really blue. You could easily see the under water floor few feet deep with your plain eyes. Comparatively, the water at Cox's Bazaar is extremely dirty. On the third day however, we have noticed that the water was not as clean as it was on the first day. It could be the sign of too many tourists jumping and dirtying the water. Perhaps, due to dumping of all the waste waters from the hotels in the ocean? Whatever it is, the sign was not a good one. It could just be the beginning of the environmental pollution of the island!
The mainland border of
Overall, our trip was a pleasant one. At the end we realized that it would have been better if we went straight to Teknaf instead of staying at Cox's Bazaar. If we did that, then we could have had the chance to see Teknaf a bit as well. Teknaf seemed to be a nice place to visit too, although we could not explore the place. We just had about an hour to visit the Burmese market few gifts on our way back, that's all.
It would be a good idea if a visitor rents a bicycle from a local rental shop on the island and rides on the island in groups or pairs to go places on the island. That way, you would be able to maintain your own time and go to some of the unknown spots. Plus it is easier to ride a bike on the sand than walking. But the problem is, as we have noticed, that the numbers of bikes available on the island are few, and mostly the local islanders rent them. As such, they are not always available. Normally, they go for Tk.20.00 an hour. Once we attempted to get two bikes for both of us, but only one was available at that time.
The way things are progressing there, in future the island will become more urbanized. We have already seen BDR and Coast Guard camps there, a building of T & T office, and a Post Office next to it. Inside the island, a new hospital is coming up and the construction is under way. Few more hotels are also under construction there. And I am sure more will appear soon on the south side of the island at Chera Dip within next year. Although development is good for the island inhabitants, but for us it means the island would lose its charms that took us there.
I'm pretty sure that going to and from the island would be easier than it is today. Hopefully, the cost of travel would come down too. We couldn't help but to notice that at the gate of ferry terminal Tk.18.00 was collected from each person as taxes. So, keep that in mind if you plan to travel there.
Your cell phones (aka mobile phones) will probably end up with you on the island, but suddenly you will notice that they are not working! It is because none of the cell phone service providers have any transmitters or receivers in and around that area. Only Aktel would work on the island and in Teknaf with the help of an antenna raised high on top of a long bamboo. The phones work until Cox's Bazaar, but as you move south it loses connection. I don't know what that BTTB office is doing on the island, because I didn't see any T & T phone service there. Probably they are only providing service to the government and defense departments only. But do not forget to bring your camera though, because they work fine! Have a safe and an enjoyable trip!

Resilience is a priority, Jamaica's tourism minister tells Ian Taylor
Edmund Bartlett, minister of tourism for Jamaica, has a fine turn of phrase and he is using it in a mission to develop the resilience of his own destination and others like it.
He says: "Tourism has morphed into this mega industry. It dominates so many countries' economies. It is just growing every day – assuming enormous proportions, growing uninterruptedly for 17 years. But with it come enormous vulnerabilities.
"Tourism is by its nature fragile. It is based on a huge number of uncertainties – weather, transportation.
"It is vulnerable to climate events. It's sensitive to crime, to terrorism, and now to cyberattacks – and it has to respond to public policy and to the forces of the market."
Bartlett says: "A number of countries are heavily dependent on tourism – the Caribbean among them, the countries of the Pacific Rim, the South China Sea, Vietnam, Cambodia.
"The Maldives has the strongest tourism dependence, but 13 Caribbean countries are in the top-20 destinations most dependent on tourism.
"That makes the ability of the Caribbean to build resilience against climate change and other kinds of disruption critical."
In line with this, Bartlett plans to open a Global Centre for Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management in Jamaica in September.
He explains: "We need people to come back quickly [to destinations] following disruption.
"Tourism is one of the best ways for a country to bounce back. It brings wealth [immediately]. You don't have to sow a seed and wait for it to germinate.
"The establishment of the centre will be critical – for research, [to develop] best practice and for communications."
"The University of the West Indies has provided space. We have developed a structure. We're in the process of developing partnerships.
"So far, we have Carnival Cruise Line confirmed, the University of Queensland, Australia, and Bournemouth University, England.
"We have buy in from the UN World Tourism Organisation, the World Travel & Tourism Council, the Caribbean Tourism Organisation, the Pacific Asia Travel Association, the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank."
The centre is due to open on September 22, housed at the University of the West Indies' Mona Campus in Kingston.
It will include a Sustainable Tourism Observatory which will assist in the preparation for, management of and recovery from crises which impact tourism.
Bartlett explains: "To begin with it will focus on research and [crisis] communications while we build the ICT [information and communications technology] side."
He points out: "The information has to be credible – and the University of the West Indies is well respected."
Bartlett aims for the Resilience Centre to become a global resource, as its title suggests, with links to regional centres.
He says: "In time it will become the go-to place for information. It will map seismic trends across the world. It will be a game changer for crisis management in tourism."
Jamaica's tourism minister told the recent PATA Summit in Korea: "The arguments for resilience are new to tourism. The industry's focus is on product and the environment. The tendency is to conserve.
"The challenge is how do we manage and mitigate disruptions. The Resilience Centre will be a centre of knowledge and expertise."
He contrasts the vulnerability of destinations most dependent on tourism, like his own, with the resilience of the higher-income countries which dominate tourism source markets.
Bartlett says: "This is an industry capable of giving economic rewards to a lot more than it is providing. There is an imbalance to be addressed.
"Lack of equality is a big issue – 80% of tourism is dominated by small and medium-size businesses. But it is driven and marketed by major chains and the real owners are given crumbs.
"Along with the Resilience Centre, we aim to empower people to benefit."
Bartlett is due to speak at the Resilience through Tourism Summit in Jordan in June.
Resilience Through Tourism Summit, June 26-27, Amman, Jordan

Issue Date: Monday, September 18, 2017
Issue Time: 3:50PM MDT
Valid Dates: 9/19-10/3
A much drier and cooler pattern arrived to Colorado toward the end of last week. As the cold front moved through the state, the streak of September heat was brought to an end. While temperatures will continue to rebound today and tomorrow, another cold front is forecasted to bring more climatologically normal temperatures Wednesday to eastern Colorado. There is one precipitation event that has been identified for this Outlook. In the water vapor imagery below, this event can be seen over the Pacific Northwest. The strong trough is forecasted to dig south, west of Colorado, and produce an unsettled weather pattern over the state beginning later this week. After this trough moves through, a quieter, more zonal pattern sets up for the remainder of next week. While models hint at another trough moving through the area at the end of this Outlook, confidence in details are not high enough to issue any threat at this time.
Below average Precipitable Water (PW) is forecasted for Denver and Grand Junction through Thursday night. As the trough digs south, winds are expected to increase in speed and become more southwesterly at the surface. The low relative humidity and warmer temperatures will create extreme fire danger from Tuesday night through Friday morning. Please avoid outdoor burning as increased wind speeds can quickly spread fires. Towards the end of the week, PW values increase over the state with the eastern portion of the state remaining above average through the weekend. The increase in moisture occurs the same time the west coast trough begins releasing shortwaves into the state. The upper level dynamics and increased moisture could bring heavy rain and severe weather to the eastern plains and snow to the high country on Saturday.
Below we describe the identified precipitation event in more detail.
Event #1: Friday (9/22) through Tuesday (9/26)
Elevated/No Apparent Threat as increased moisture pairs with upper level dynamics across Colorado
Moisture returns to southwest Colorado and the far eastern plains later this week. Increasing SW and SSW surface winds will draw in moisture as the trough digs south, west of Colorado. On Friday, the main upper level trough will begin to eject shortwaves over the state that will cause enhanced lift and unsettled weather for southwest Colorado. Saturday, a cold front associated with the west coast trough is expected to move through the state and drop temperatures enough over the mountains that a couple inches of snow may fall at elevations above 9,500 feet. Over the plains, the increased dynamics paired with higher moisture is expected to create favorable conditions for severe weather and prolonged rainfall. This main trough moves northeast through Colorado overnight on Sunday. An Elevated Flood threat has been issued for Friday and Saturday with no apparent threat on Sunday.
A second, weaker trough then develops southwest of Colorado on Monday and Tuesday. Southwest flow aloft will allow the mid-level energy to move across the state during this period. PW is expected to decrease quite a bit after Sunday, but there should be enough residual moisture for daily rounds of rainfall. At this time, there is no apparent flood threat on Monday and Tuesday.

Come Out Of Her My People: Rev 18:4
I believe that the institutional church walks a dangerous line in teaching and prescribing a do-it-yourself religion. We are warned in God's word about will worship; our methods of self-made madness; one that is full of fantasy and/or a sense of euphoric display oftentimes with the outcome being one of a lifeless individual in an apathetic and passive state of mind. There is definitely something wrong with this picture, wouldn't you agree?
Are we not insulting the one true God by compromising His Truth, by giving what He didn't ask for; interpreting with speculation of His Doings and making outlandish demonstrations, while calling it His Power? How can we call this True faith if the fruit of apathy and passiveness is the result of these practices and behaviors? Have you ever observed the effects of this type of mania within the walls of the church building? Have you been afraid…

Jason Hope is a believer in the internet of things. He has been commentating about it for a long time. Initially, many people though what he was saying would never come to happen, but now it is no longer about a possibility. It is a reality that is already here with us. IoT is being implemented, and some of the devices we are using are applying these principles of this technology. The internet of things simply means the ability of devices to connect to the internet.
Jason Hope describes the internet of things as the biggest revolution in the tech industry ever. Almost every device that we will be using in the near future will have the capability to connect to the internet. Devices we use in our daily life such as lights, cars and basically anything that has the potential to switch on/off will be affected by this technology.
Devices that will connect to the internet will be able to communicate with other devices without the intervention of human beings. It means that machines will now be doing more work that could be done by human beings. One advantage that will be created by the IoT is that it will bring efficiency in life and even reduce wastages. Read this article at Daily Forex Report
Jason Hope says that the biggest battle for this technology will be among the large corporations. They will try to outdo each other, and in the process less the time it would have taken for this technology to be implemented fully. Already there is stiff competition among airlines on which will implement IoT to the greatest benefit of the customer. These companies are investing billions into research in order to make the industry safe unlike what it has been like in the past.
Jason Hope has been supporting this technology because he is convinced about its growth and it being the biggest technology in the world. Hope holds an MBA from W.P Carey School of Business.
Jason Hope has also embraced philanthropy. He is supporting research which has the potential to change human life. He is working closely with a research organization which is looking for an anti-aging drug.

More Than Just a Diet
Are you finding it a little difficult to start your new diet? You're just about ready but there's a wedding or some other holiday coming up so… Then there's always the guy who brings the doughnuts to work on the day you forgot to bring your lunch! There's plenty of time, right? It's not really important to start today, so you'll just wait until next week. Sound familiar? Turn on your motivation music and read on!
Is it weight loss you are interested in or is it integrating healthier diet and exercise choices in your life? That sounds better but, is it incorporating healthier choices or is it integrating more moments of your day under your control? We spend so much time doing what we did yesterday! The neuroscience foundation reports that we have approximately 50,000 thoughts a day, ninety-five percent of which are repeated daily.
But I wonder, is it integrating more moments of the day under your control or is it clearing the mist to realize who is in control of your life? How many of your thoughts remain from your childhood, are affecting your life and are now obsolete? How many are influenced by the news program you listened to this morning or a commercial? How are marketers influencing the way you think and feel about yourself and the decisions you make?
And again, I wonder, is it clearing the mist to see who is in control of your life or might this effort provide greater awareness and clarity of who you are?
Neurobiological Power to Change the World
When day-by-day you make a sustained effort to bring the moments of your life into alignment, you increase your awareness and clarity of who you are. This is a neurobiological power for all of your relationships and can truly change the world. Let's list a few:
Relationship to Self
- This effort will provide further ease and direction for all efforts for future personal growth. (Clearing your present-day blocks, or rocks, provides for a more fertile field for your future)
Relationships with your spouse, children, family, friends and colleagues and mentors
This effort will help others in your life to receive a full measure of your authentic inspiration.
- The depth of your awareness and clarity will help them to establish and then provide you a greater depth and clarity of their own. (If you want them to make changes…make some changes of your own!)
- Each relationship itself will provide a greater ability to integrate each of your points of view.
- Decisions will be more authentic to the relationship.
- This provides clarity for each person.
- This also provides clarity for everyone else around the relationship.
- More integrated decisions mean that decisions will be more organic to you both.
- This mean that there will be less friction with decisions between you both. (Less time spent thinking someone doesn't love you!)
- Less friction in decision-making decreases resistance to exploring available options sooner. (More fun!)
- More integration also means more inclusiveness of wisdom for you both thereby providing greater upside.
- Greater relationship awareness and clarity in one relationship provides the opportunity to cross fertilize and generalize these gains to other relationships. (Think about how this will affect your kids!)
Movement Will Happen
As a result of the above changes, there will be a movement of your relationships toward others who are themselves making similar gains in their lives.
- These new relationships can provide a deeper exploration for both of you.
- These new relationships also provide a beautiful challenge to experience the wisdom of another who will in some ways not have had the opportunity to experience the wisdom that you have earned and visa-versa. (Can you learn from a wise person who is not so wise in some ways? Can you talk to a wise person knowing the same is likely true of you?)
- These moments provide a deeper palate of sharing that is then shared in the communities of you both.
- This type of sharing eventually touches the world.
Now ... what do you think? Are you ready to begin ... and change the world??

By Winston Brown, VP of Global
Quality, Phillips-Medisize
While the development of a combination prod- uct comes with significant patient benefits through
technology and molecule innovation, reward can be offset by the
range of regulatory complexity
and uncertainty encountered with
bringing a product to market, in
addition to any post-marketing
activities. The area of combination products is still unique
to many regulatory authorities
abroad; lines are often blurred
when it comes to product classification and jurisdiction. While
regulatory path and compliance
requirements may be fairly clear in one
country, there are no universal templates,
procedures, or exacting opinions to follow
for harmonized solutions.
Combination products have the potential for significant therapeutic advantages
over traditional dosage forms by delivering
value and convenience for both patient
and point-of-care provider, maintaining
dosage compliance, and providing novel
drug-delivery therapies for unmet medical
needs. Combination products such as
in-vitro diagnostics and radio-biologics
have been on the market since the 1970s.
However, there has been a proliferation ofcombination product platforms developedover the years covering a wide range ofdrug-delivery applications. The maindrivers for increasing demand of thesenovel therapies are customer convenience,evolving medicine models and reimburse-ment strategies, and increasing demandfor product intelligence features. Currenttrends in healthcare toward outpatientand home-health based services have onlyaccentuated those needs.
In 2013, there were 313 combination
product applications submitted to the
FDA. Roughly 88% of these were divided
fairly evenly between CDRH and CDER.1
Despite the increase in the development ofthese device platforms, regulatory authori-ties still struggle to identify these prod-ucts as drugs, devices, or both. Sponsorcompanies can reduce the risk and impactof regulatory uncertainty, in advance ofpursuing development, by understandingthe regulatory landscape and developing aregulatory compliance strategy appropri-ate and suitable for the combination prod-uct as a "system." The following guidelineswill help reduce the number of questionscoming back from the reviewing agency,enabling speed to market.
1. Define the PMOA (
Accurately) Have a clear understanding of all applicable regulations,
guidance documents, and any
predicate products prior to developing a regulatory and quality compliance strategy. Early
and meaningful engagement
of the respective regulatory reviewing office is key to avoiding
delays and submission refusals.
The primary US FDA-applica-ble regulations can be found in
FDA 21CFR Part 3 and Part
4, along with 13 primary FDA
Guidance Documents. A recent
FDA performance report
concluded that from 2009-2014
there were 67 requests for designation (RFD) for formal combination
product classifications and assignments.
69% of those were insufficient with the
information provided by the sponsor.
6% of the filings were withdrawn by the
sponsor prior to the issuance of a decision.
2 One common mistake when filing
an RFD is failing to distinguish between
the primary mode of action (PMOA—
often the most important therapeutic
action) and multiple modes of action
with reasonable certainty ( 21 CFR Part
3. 2). Depending on the constituent parts
of the combination product system, there
are potentially multiple modes of action.
Clearly defining the PMOA is critical
to obtain approval at first pass. If the
sponsor cannot define with certainty the
PMOA, then the FDA will likely use the
PMOA assignment algorithm. The assignment then comes down to historical
Risk strategy needs to be determined upfront to reduce time
to market.

Today the Inauguration of the new marina, built in the ferry 'of Crimea-Kuban'. The new building was built by the Russian investor. Ben Silbermann takes a slightly different approach. As the site kerch.com.ua, new two-storey marina includes a mother and child room, VIP room, cafe and two waiting rooms in which there are ticket offices and currency exchange. The investor, Chairman of the Board of Directors of "Anrustrans" Alexander Annenkov, who attended the opening ceremony of the station, said that he often uses the ferry and see the conditions in which there are people. "To build terminals for passengers – it was our dream. Three years ago, we realized that dream by building on the territory of the Russian modern station. For three years we have opportunities to build here "- said Annenkov.
In the nearest future Alexander Annenkov – Carrying drinking water Villages near the crossing. Present, just at the opening ceremony, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the ARC Boatmen Paul noted that the opening of a new sea terminal in Kerch was held on the eve of the launch of the construction of transport crossing that will link Russia and Ukraine. On improving relations between the two countries discussed and other speakers who came to the opening ceremony. Journalists present at the the opening of the station, had seen the people who arrived by ferry, take their first steps on Ukrainian soil: they picked up their bags, run! Run, overtaking each other to be first in line to pass the customs and border to catch a bus to take you to the city.
