Who should play Bingo Blitz?
If you want to play the most exciting bingo game on facebook then you must play bingo blitz. There is no need to try another bingo app; Sure Zynga Bing is about to launch but as of writing there's no better bingo app! If you play often for more than three days you will see what we I mean.
Substitute experiences
At this time Bingo Bash and Bingo Island are the second and third most popular bingo apps on facebook, but they hare hardly comparable. Maybe when Zynga Bingo is available for everyone to play it will trump Bingo Blitz.
Do you think Zynga Bingo will be more fun that Bingo Blitz? Comment below.

Bengals reach deal with Dennard
Sportsbooks - Online Sportsbook, Casino & Racebook All RSS Feeds
Cincinnati, OH (.com) - The Cincinnati Bengals announced Thursday that they have signed cornerback Darqueze Dennard, the team's first-round selection in this year's NFL Draft.
The 2013 Thorpe Award recipient honoring the nation's top collegiate defensive back, Dennard was an integral part of a Michigan State defense that allowed the fewest yards per game in the BCS ranks last season and helped the Spartans to a 13-1 record and a victory over Stanford in the Rose Bowl.
"He's been everything we hoped he would be to this point," Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said of Dennard. "He's a great talent. He played in a big-time pressure defense at Michigan State and he's not afraid to be out there (in coverage) by himself. And as we knew he would, he conducts himself every day as a mature pro who wants to get better every day."
With Dennard now under contract, the Bengals have signed their entire 2014 draft class.

Los Angeles' Getty Center ranks among the top museums in the world according to a new TripAdvisor survey, but it's edged out for No. 1 by a Chicago favorite.
Visitors to TripAdvisor ranked the Getty as their fourth favorite museum on the planet. It's also their second favorite in the U.S.
Reviewers also consider the Getty the top visitor attraction in L.A. out of nearly 400.
"Plan to spend the entire day there," a reviewer posted on Sunday. "The art work on hand in the permanent collection will take away your breath and fire your imagination."
The 2014 list ranks the Art Institute of Chicago No. 1 in the country and the world.
"The collections represent fine art from all over the world, including Africa, Asia, Europe, America, as well as Native American art," a recent visitor wrote. "Plan to stay all day."
Another critic urged TripAdvisor fans to "take more than one day to see it all. …[There is a] mind-boggling expansive collection of all forms of art."

Adventure travelers can work off the pounds they may gain during the holidays on cycling trips across Hawaii's Big Island.
Bicycle Adventures, an Issaquah, Wash.-based company, offers several late fall and early winter departure dates for rides across the largest Hawaiian island. The cycling trips, intended for vacationers who prefer a good workout to a day at the beach, are offered as three packages.
The Hawaii Classic is a seven-day trek that provides overnight stays in upscale resorts. The journey begins at Waikoloa, north of Kailua-Kona. Participants average 45 miles each day, two of which are spent pedaling through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Six 2014 trips remain, including those starting Nov. 23 and Dec. 26. The price is $3,495 per person.
The Hawaii Casual follows nearly the same itinerary as the Classic, but it's a six-day trip with more moderate lodging options. The price is $2,695 per person. Four 2014 departure dates, including Dec. 27, are available.

Ai Weiwei, arguably China's best-known artist, spent 81 days in prison in 2011, so he knows about incarceration. That's part of the reason he is helming an exhibit opening this month on San Francisco's Alcatraz Island.
He developed the works in the exhibit, part of the National Park Service's "Art in the Parks" program, in his Beijing studio, and they will be delivered by boat and plane.
The details of the installations for "@Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz" aren't public yet, but his seven large pieces will incorporate sound and sculpture and will be themed around captivity and freedom of expression.
Of the content of his Alcatraz creations, Ai, who is not allowed to travel abroad, has said, "When you constrain freedom, freedom will take flight and land on a windowsill."
The Rock, as it's called, is about 1 1/2 miles from the city and attracts about 1.3 million visitors a year. It has been, variously, a bird sanctuary, the site of a lighthouse, a military prison and a federal prison,...Read more
Sometimes a lodging's closet hanger space is insufficient – or nonexistent. No problem.
Just grab the Spectrum Over the Door Wardrobe Rack, a well-designed rubber-coated steel clothing rack with brackets on each end that hang over doors up to 1 5/8 inches thick.
It weighs a little more than a pound and stashes in most roll-aboard bags. The rack provides 17 inches of hanger bar cast in a wavy design so garments don't slide around. Reinforcing diagonal bars hold the rack in place about 10 inches from the door's surface; side bars on both ends can hold even more hangers. Vertical back bars on both sides extend about 7 inches down from the top of the door.
The rack stashes easily in a standard wheel-aboard bag. Place the rack in first, then lay out the rest of the contents between the bars. I keep an extra in my car. Works great for hang-drying garments on the back of a bathroom or closet door.
Info: Spectrum Over the Door Wardrobe Rack costs $11.99.

I just returned from a vacation in Ireland, with a short break in Paris. I flew American Airlines on the way there and British Airways home. Neither charged for my one checked bag. But I flew Aer Lingus from Dublin to Paris and was charged 50 euros each way (about $130 total) on top of a ticket that cost $300. I was not a happy camper. I know that low-cost carriers are charging bag fees, but I didn't know Aer Lingus was. Moral of the story: You really need to check baggage charges on all airlines when you travel.

If there were a prize for complicated baggage fees, Aer Lingus would be a contender. Even if you check its website, you'll need to invest a certain amount of time to do the math that comes with figuring out how much you'll owe.

When you travel abroad, you know you must budget for airfare, lodging, transportation and meals, but some costs may catch you off guard. Among them:
Visas: In addition to a U.S. passport, which is valid for 10 years and costs $110 for adults, some countries require a visa, the document that gives you permission to enter or leave a country. Some countries don't require a visa, but they will charge reciprocity fees based on what the U.S. charges residents from those countries for a tourist visa.
Generally, the reciprocity fee applies to each person traveling. Budget $640 for a family of four traveling to a country that charges a $160 reciprocity fee.
Some countries, including Argentina, require travelers to pay those fees in advance, by the way. Those who don't pay the $160 fee online before departing may be refused entry. Argentina's fee is good for 10 years of entrance to the country.
There is some good news about reciprocity fees: The U.S. and Chile ended them this spring. But several...Read more
Forecast for Monday: about 92 in Los Angeles, about 104 in Woodland Hills. Forecast for Monday for the now-abandoned Lebanon Mine in the Colorado Rockies: about 44. In fact, the forecast for the mine is about 44 every day, which makes it a heat-stopper in my book.
A ride on the Georgetown Loop Railroad with the optional mine tour affords you heat relief — the forecast for the week in Georgetown shows highs in the 60 and 70s with a chance of fall foliage.
Besides the chance to chill, you also get a glimpse into the past as you chug along the tracks through Clear Creek Valley, about 45 miles west of Denver. The three-mile journey on the narrow-gauge train, which dates to 1880, takes you from Georgetown to Silver Plume; the Lebanon Mine tour is about midpoint in the trip.
There may be better rides for train buffs. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is 3 1/2 hours of breathtaking scenery in southern Colorado. The CumbresRead more
Here's a website that makes choosing a hotel a snap.
Name: smartdepart.com
What it does: Allows you to drag two hotels onto the page so you can do side-by-side comparisons of price, ratings and reviews as well as night life, dining, shopping and tourism.
What's hot: I've never seen a comparison feature like this on other hotel booking sites — it's the key to making your decisions easier. You can use additional tools at the top of the page to fine-tune your search by price, amenities, star ratings and more. If you're not familiar with the area, you can easily open and close a map to see where the hotels are located. If you want to know why one hotel was recommended over the other for dining, click on that topic to read the Yelp reviews.
What's not: Double-check the prices. I found inconsistencies between search results and prices on the final booking page.

Thank you, Father Serra
Christopher Reynolds' wonderful coverage of the California missions ["21 Journeys," Sept. 7] evoked memories of being both a project-making fourth-grader (in the '40s) and an inquisitive traveler (all my life).
While serving in the military in Germany during the mid-1950s, I took a leave with friends to France and Spain. From Barcelona, we flew to Majorca, where I rented a motor scooter in Palma and navigated the 28-mile partially paved road to the town of Petra, Father Junípero Serra's birthplace.
With a limited command of Spanish, I was able to convey to a young local that I was from California and wanted to see Serra's birthplace and church. I was successful in doing both.
This first adventure resulted in my having the good fortune to travel to all seven continents and more than 100 countries. I'm still at it and always looking for a new experience in travel.

A new Halloween Horror Nights maze at Universal Studios Hollywood will re-create the Oscar-winning man-to-beast transformation from the 1981 film "An American Werewolf in London."
"An American Werewolf in London" tells the story of two American backpackers who are attacked by werewolves on the Yorkshire moors in England. Mauled to death in the attack, Jack Goodman haunts his wounded friend David Kessler, who transforms into a werewolf during the movie.
Released before computer-generated special effects became the norm, the horror-comedy movie is best remembered for a three-minute werewolf transformation scene for which makeup artist Rick Baker won an Academy Award.
During a recent media preview, Horror Nights creative director and executive producer John Murdy offered a walk-through tour of the American Werewolf in London haunted maze.
Universal's sister park in Orlando presented An American Werewolf in London maze at last year's Horror Nights event in Florida.

The Blake Project, the brand consultancy behind Branding Strategy Insider, delivers interactive brand education workshops and keynote speeches designed to align marketers on essential concepts in brand management and empower them to release the full potential of the brands they manage.
Brand Police Defend London Olympicsby Brad VanAuken The Blake Project
An interesting side story on the London Olympics (Games of the XXX Olympiad) is the power of brand sponsorships and the battle against ambush marketing. Olympic organizers have hired about 250 "brand police" to patrol the London streets to make sure brands that are not official sponsors of the Olympics are not presenting themselves in ways that mislead the public to believe that they are. The organizers raised more than $1 billion from official sponsorships. Given that amount of money, it only makes sense that some resources would be committed to minimizing ambush marketing, which had been significant at several previous Olympic games.
Wikipedia defines ambush marketing as "a marketing strategy wherein the advertisers associate themselves with, and therefore capitalize on, a particular event without paying any sponsorship fee."
The first major example of ambush marketing occurred in 1984 when the International Olympic Committee awarded a sponsorship contract to Fuji. Kodak responded by purchasing large amounts of advertising space. Because of Kodak's extensive advertising during the Olympic Games, the public perceived both Kodak and Fuji to be sponsors of the event, much to Fuji's frustration. In subsequent sporting events, Nike has done this to Reebok and Adidas, as has Pepsi to Coca-Cola.
Since then, New Zealand, Canada and the International Trademark Association (among other entities) have enacted legislation against ambush marketing.

Discount car insurance is now searchable for drivers in the U.S. using the Quotes Pros website at http://quotespros.com/auto-insurance.html.
Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) August 30, 2014
Saving money when buying different forms of automobile insurance can be one goal of some drivers in the U.S. The Quotes Pros has created a new way to assist the public to find discount car insurance using its Internet exploration tool at http://quotespros.com/auto-insurance.html.

Some of the types of plans that are available include collision, liability, full coverage, SR22 and collector vehicle coverage policies.
"The direct price data that any consumer can review while entering our search formatted system is supplied by insurers offering the policies," the rep included.
The Quotes Pros company is one resource that is used by drivers to locate base coverage plan pricing in the insurance industry. As a way to improve searches this year, the Quotes Pros company has added health and homeowner coverage plans now priced by insurers at http://quotespros.com/homeowners-insurance.html.

Tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea, is a popular turfgrass grown in the mountains and upper piedmont areas of South Carolina. To keep it looking its best, weeds should be controlled through an integrated approach. This involves knowledge of weed characteristics and the cultural requirements of the turf.
The main reason homeowners want to rid their lawn of weeds is that they are aesthetically disruptive. In other words, weeds are ugly and interrupt an otherwise uniform appearing lawn. Weeds are also fierce competitors and will rob the turf of sunlight, nutrients and moisture. Lastly, weeds have a tendency to spread rapidly. A few left uncontrolled can quickly become a serious problem.
Grassy vs. Broadleaf: Grassy weeds are true grasses which emerge from seed as a single leaf. The leaf blades are longer than they are wide and have parallel veins. An example is crabgrass. Broadleaf weeds emerge from seed with two leaves. Leaves have netlike veins and many, like dandelion or clover, have showy flowers.
Annual vs. Perennial: Annuals germinate, grow, and die within a twelve month period. Summer annuals, such as goosegrass, germinate in the spring, grow through the summer, set seed, and die at the onset of cold weather. Winter annuals, such as chickweed, germinate in the fall, grow through the winter, set seed, and die as temperatures rise in early summer.
Perennials grow for two or more years. They reproduce from vegetative parts such as tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, or stolons, though some also produce seed. Examples are dallisgrass, wild garlic, and clover.
Weed control begins with proper management practices, which encourage a dense, healthy turf. A healthy turf shades the soil so that less sunlight reaches the ready to germinate weed seeds. A thick turf also minimizes the space available for weeds to become established.
Proper management practices include mowing, watering, fertilizing, and liming. These are mentioned briefly here but are covered in detail in corresponding HGIC fact sheets. See HGIC 1205, Mowing Lawns, HGIC 1207, Watering Lawns, and HGIC 1201, Fertilizing Lawns.
Tall fescue should be mowed at heights between 2½ and 3½ inches, and frequently enough so that no more than ⅓ of the blade is removed. Proper mowing heights will encourage a dense, healthy stand.
When fescue shows signs of drought stress, water the lawn deeply so that the entire root zone is wet. This is typically 1 inch of irrigation water per week. During hot, dry periods, this may be every five to seven days. This practice encourages a healthy root system. Watering lawns three or more times per week will enhance conditions for weed seed germination and growth. Look for areas that stay excessively wet and make corrections so that water drains or is directed elsewhere. For more information, refer to HGIC 1207, Watering Lawns.
Fertilize and lime at the proper time and according to a soil test. Proper lime application will help to maintain a soil pH where nutrients are readily available to the turf. In general, spring nitrogen fertilization should cease in March.
Even when cultural practices are heeded, weeds can appear. If the number of weeds reaches an unacceptable level and pulling by hand is out of the question, you may want to turn to herbicides. At this point, it is important to know what weed you are trying to control. Local extension offices and publications can aid in identification.
Preemergence Herbicides: Preemergence herbicides are applied to the soil prior to weed seed germination. They provide good control for many annual grassy weeds and are the best weapon against crabgrass. They also control some broadleaf weeds. Most are in a granular formulation, but some are applied as a liquid spray.
Most granular preemergence herbicides should be watered in with about ½ inch of irrigation immediately following application. This activates the herbicide which is absorbed by the young roots and shoots of weeds as they begin to grow.
In the spring, preemergence herbicides should be applied when air temperatures reach 65 to 70 °F for four consecutive days. On average, this is March 15-30 for the piedmont and mountains. In the fall, to control winter annuals, apply preemergence herbicides when nighttime lows reach 55 to 60 °F for four consecutive days. On average, this is September 1 to 15 for the piedmont and mountains.
Preemergence herbicides are generally effective for six to 12 weeks, depending on the product. For season long control, make a second application. Before using, read the entire label and follow it precisely. See Table 1 for specific products.
|Active Ingredients
|Examples of Brands
|Scotts Halts Crabgrass Preventer
|StaGreen CrabEX Crabgrass Preventer
|Green Light Crabgrass Preventer
|benefin plus trifluralin
|Hi-Yield Crabgrass Preventer
|Benefin plus oryzalin
Postemergence Herbicides: Postemergence herbicides target visible weeds. They are used primarily against broadleaf weeds, perennial grasses, and sedges. The chemicals 2,4-D, dicamba, mecoprop (MCPP), MCPA, carfentrazone, and triclopyr are broadleaf herbicides. They have been combined in many products that control many broadleaf weeds. Look for these active ingredients in products such as Ortho Weed-B-Gon for Southern Lawns, Spectracide Weed Stop Weed Killer for Lawns, Bayer Advanced Southern Weed Killer for Lawns, Bonide Chickweed Clover & Oxalis Killer, and Ortho Weed-B-Gon Max. Always check the product label to be sure that it can be used safely on a tall fescue lawn, the application rate, and that it will control the specific weeds.
In fescue lawns, grassy weeds such as crabgrass, goosegrass, and dallisgrass can also be controlled with postemergence herbicides. Products containing MSMA (such as Hi-Yield 529 MSMA Weed Killer, Bayer Advanced All-in-One Lawn Weed & Crabgrass Killer, Ferti-lome Crabgrass, Nutgrass & Dallisgrass Killer, and Ferti-lome Improved Bermudagrass Killer), fenoxaprop (such as Bayer Advanced Bermudagrass Control Ready-to-Spray), and quinclorac (such as Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns Plus Crabgrass Killer, Bayer Advanced All-in-One Lawn Weed & Crabgrass Killer, and Ortho Weed-B-Gon Plus Crabgrass Control) are recommended. Production of MSMA products may end after 2009.
There are few herbicides that will suppress bermudagrass without harming fescue. For home lawns, fenoxaprop, the active ingredient in Bayer Advanced Bermudagrass Control Ready-to-Spray, is available. This should be applied as soon as the bermudagrass turns green in the spring and repeated in two to three weeks. Stop treatments in late May when temperatures consistently reach 85 °F.
Yellow nutsedge and purple nutsedge are difficult to control perennials. Halosulfuron, the active ingredient in Sedgehammer, is effective against both and is safe to use on fescue. Sedgehammer requires the addition of a nonionic surfactant at 2T per gallon of water, and may need to be repeated in 3 to 4 weeks for complete control. Sulfentrazone (one of the active ingredients in Spectracide Weed Stop Weed Killer for Southern Lawns Concentrate) is faster acting on nutsedges, but may also require a second application. Penoxsulam (such as in the granular product Green Light Wipe Out Tough Weed Killer for Lawns) will control annual nutsedges.
When choosing an herbicide, make sure that it will control the weed and that it is recommended for your turf. Before using, read the entire label and follow it precisely. The following tips will help you achieve optimum control.
It should also be noted that there are precautions for new lawns with regard to preemergence use. A new lawn must have time to become well-established, as preemergence herbicides can inhibit lawn grass root growth. Always read the label thoroughly for specifics regarding seeding. On fescue lawns, preemergence herbicides should not be applied in the fall if over-seeding will be done. Any preemergence herbicide application would have to be delayed until spring for summer weed control. To keep a tall fescue lawn thick and more weed-free, consider over-seeding one fall, and alternating that with a preemergence herbicide application the next fall. For bermudagrass lawns to be over-seeded with annual ryegrass, delay seeding until 6 to 16 weeks after the preemergence herbicide application (depending upon rate of application).
Postemergence herbicides can be applied to newly seeded lawns at ½ the rate, but only after it's been mowed four times. If overseeding after a postemergence herbicide treatment, you must wait three to four weeks, depending on the product used. In sodded areas, preemergence herbicides can be applied following signs of new growth, at ½ the rate recommended for established grasses.

Boteh Jeghe (Paisley Pattern)
Sine the dawn of civilization, many artists have created masterpieces inspired by nature. "Boteh Jeghe" ( also known as the Paisley Pattern in Europe because of the name of the Scottish city where textiles were produced with this design during 18 and 19th century ) is an ancient Iranian symbol of life. It is believed that this undying figure has its roots in the image of the cedar trees surrounding Zoroastrian temples bending towards the heat of the fire. For the poetic people of this beautiful land, this image created the symbolism of life bowing to Ahura Mazda, god of light.
One of the early masterpieces of Leon (Lemuel Avedian, the founder of TALA) is the brooch presented above. Boteh Jeghe throughout ages has ornamented many different aspects of our lives, from clothes and dresses of common people to the aigrette of King Nader (Shah of Iran 1736–47).
This delicate fine jewelry is a small tribute to a rich cultural heritage and everlasting beauty.

President Barack Obama's decision to release more information about his birthright than any elected leader in U.S. history speaks volumes about the out -of control conspiracy-driven culture that now drives American politics.
"There are no more arbiters of truth," former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs tells Politico.Com. "So whatever you can prove factually, somebody else can find something else point to it with enough ferocity to get people to believe it. We've crossed some Rubicon into the unknown."
Presidents have longed been dogged by unproven and often outlandish rumors but the blog-driven news cycle today puts undocumented speculation into the public debate with much greater speed and polls show an often-ignorant electorate buys into the falsehoods with little regard for truth.
The lunatic fringe accused Bill Clinton of plotting to murder White House aide Vince Foster — who committed suicide. George W. Bush, the same fringe claimed, was complicit in the terrorism attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Facts don't matter to the conspiracy theorists. They are driven by hate, political agendas and — in the Obama birth certificate case — thinly-veiled racism.
Reports Jonathan Martin and John F. Harris of Politico:
It's hard to imagine Bill Clinton coming out to the White House briefing room to present evidence showing why people who thought he helped plot the murder of aide Vincent Foster—never mind official rulings of suicide—were wrong. George W. Bush, likewise, was never tempted to take to the Rose Garden to deny allegations from voices on the liberal fringe who believed that he knew about the pending September 11, 2001 attacks ahead of time and chose to let them happen.
Obama did something like the equivalent of this, by releasing complete documentation from his Hawaii birth and then making a sober West Wing appearance to explain himself.
He did so, senior Obama advisers say, because of the radical reordering of the political-media universe over the past 15 years or so. The decline of traditional media and the rise of viral emails and partisan Web and cable TV platforms has meant the near-collapse of common facts, believed across the political spectrum.
It did not matter that the notion that Obama was born overseas (and thus constitutionally ineligible for the presidency) had been debunked by news organizations. Polls showed a startling percentage of Americans either still believed the myth or harbored uncertainty.
Truth no longer matters in a partisan era where most news is delivered with a slant and where unproven opinion replaces fact.
And it will probably get worse.

It seems, as we have all noted at one time or another, that the chickens are coming home to roost with regard to politicians and their believability. As the saying goes, " you know they're lying because their lips are moving."
In the current situation we have "President Transparency" who has finally found it necessary to become so on at least one point, although most else in his past remains hidden. If his political maneuverings and governing statements that have become bald-faced lies are any indication, not to mention his penchant for obfuscating the basis of much of what he does, any resultant disbelief must be entertained, if not applauded.
Given a lack of of solid information, speculation will fill the void.
Ha! That's rich. The White House Press Secretary lecturing us on truth? What the hell planet did I wake up on this morning?
I repeat…The White House Press Secretary lecturing us on truth?
And who is the person that held back the certificate and caused all the speculation? If that person thought it a waste of valuable time, then that person should have revealed it 2-1/2 years ago. Maybe that person was the one trying to avert attention from other important matters? Now that's truth!
"Facts don't matter to the conspiracy theorists. They are driven by hate, political agendas and — in the Obama birth certificate case — thinly-veiled racism." …extract from article
Facts…what 'facts' ?! When it comes to politics, religion and government there's very little based on facts. Only science supported by valid, proven experiments and mathematical treatises can be anywhere close to what is perceived to be facts or the 'truth'.
None of us know anything for sure when it comes to human interactivity and generally only through our interface with those close to us. They'll either be straight and dependable or biased towards treachery and lies.
So to characterize all so-called "conspiracy theorists" as driven by hate, political agendas ranging from thinly manifested to possibly overt racism is disingenuous. Did it ever occur to you that there are people simply seeking the truth or something close to it when it comes to their government and the crimpols that ascend to high office? / : |
Maybe I'm blessed, but I've never had a fingernail parings worth of hate towards anyone in my entire life. Maybe I'm a hazard to myself because I don't have a vestige of such in my heart nor could afford the luxury of such in my career.
I've noticed in your site editorials over time you seem to cling to words like hate, racism etc. in your article content. Questioning this President's origin of birth isn't un-American or entirely supported by folks which you characterize as such in this article. Believe it! You've maybe heard it here first, but not last.
"Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either." …Albert Einstein

Nicely done, Carl… one man's conspiracy is another's truth. As for the purveyors, I agree with your suggestion of "regular" folks gone somewhat ballistic over the lack of investigative energy presented by MSM. Unfortunately, that mainstream crap appears to be erupting everywhere.
Glad your nap's over.
We all look at reality with different eyes. I saw 9/11 as an example of lazy leadership and a chance to bring about a war in Iraq. Few others saw this and I was in trouble on many sites. The Commission Report has so many holes in it that it became less doubt in my mind that we were set up by the start of a religious war. I came to my senses and realized we elect men of little character and lots of vibrato. Until the voters do some research, we will slowly sink into disrepair watching our world collapse and our people in prison.
The new "War on Abortions" is in the planning and it will be tied to Terrorism.
Good thoughts Sandune concerning our national state of affairs… : )
Seemingly seeking truth in these end times for the Republic is equated to people being 'haters, racists, and no doubt terrorists' too in spades; I.E. enemies of the state!
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." …Josef Goebbels

Debra P. Symonette
Mrs. Symonette, who was diagnosed with the disease about a year ago, had recently completed her second year of teaching at the William Penn Charter School in the East Falls section of Philadelphia.
Earlier, she had taught for two decades at Greene Street Friends School in Germantown and, for a time, had served as the school's admissions director.
Mrs. Symonette's husband, Alan Symonette, a Philadelphia lawyer and labor and employment arbitrator, said his wife was "a big believer in the Quaker value that there is the light of God in everyone, no matter who they are."
"She understood that kids have different ways of learning," he said. "She believed that schools should complement the learning style of each child."
Before beginning her teaching career, Mrs. Symonette had worked as an architect with the Philadelphia firms of Alesker and Reiff, Livingston Rosenwinkel and the Vitetta Group, and had gained a reputation as a skilled freehand drafter. She was one of a relatively few African-American women working in the field.
Mrs. Symonette also was a committed and creative craftsperson, particularly in the needlework area. At First United Methodist Church of Germantown, where she was a member, she established a chapter of the Prayer Shawl Ministry, which combines knitting and crocheting with prayer on behalf of people – especially women – in special need of such comfort. The ministry will be renamed in honor of Mrs. Symonette.
At FUMCOG, Mrs. Symonette also founded the Paper Crane Studio, a crafts project that encouraged church members and neighbors to come together in quiet reflection to engage in doll-making, basket weaving, calligraphy, origami, quilt-making and other crafts taught by Mrs. Symonette.
She also taught a variety of crafts at Mt. Airy Learning Tree.
Mrs. Symonette was a graduate of Friends Select School, the Philadelphia High School for Girls and Swarthmore College. She received a master's degree in architecture from Rice University.
She was an active member of United Methodist Women and served on the board of Weaver's Way Co-op in Mt. Airy. She was also actively involved with the Nursing Mothers Association and the Babysitting Cooperative.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Symonette is survived by sons Andrew, Matthew and Jason; her parents, Florence Sheppard and Herbert Pinder; sisters Stephanie Pinder-Amaker, Kristen Pinder and Laurel Pinder Jones, and a brother, Herbert Pinder.
A memorial service was held July 31 at First United Methodist Church of Germantown. Memorial donations may be made to any of the following: Greene Street Friends School, Germantown Friends School, William Penn Charter School, Abington Friends School, Swarthmore College or the First United Methodist Church of Germantown.
Marvin Thall
Marvin Thall, 83, who with his late wife, Harriet, formerly operated the Erdenheim Bicycle Center, died July 27 at his home in Chestnut Hill.
Mr. Thall and his wife started the business in 1980 as a family-oriented, recreational bicycle shop and soon developed a reputation for providing safe and reliable bikes for all ages and for all kinds of cycling.
The Thalls sold the business in 1992 and retired, but continued to remain active in progressive causes, such as civil rights and the peace movement.
Mr. Thall wrote poetry and took part in poetry and sculpture workshops at local colleges. A collection of his poems, titled "Passage," was published in 2007.
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., he attended Lafayette High School and enlisted in the Army after graduation. He graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a degree in electrical engineering in 1948 and married the former Harriet Cohen the same year.
Mrs. Thall died in January.
Mr. Thall is survived by a son, Michael Freed-Thall of Vermont; a daughter, Rachel Grossman of Vermont, and two grandchildren.
Memorial contributions may be made to Veterans for Peace, Chapter 31,11 Price's Lane, Rose Valley, PA 19065.
Parker M. Seymour
Parker M. Seymour, 66, an emergency room physician at Chestnut Hill Hospital for 30 years, died July 28 of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his home in Chestnut Hill.
Dr. Seymour retired from the hospital in 2002, when he became ill, but continued as president of Chestnut Hill Emergency Associates.
Dr. Seymour was raised in Toledo, Ohio, and in his junior year in an engineering program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute decided to become a physician. He received a bachelor's degree in science from the University of Toledo and a medical degree from Thomas Jefferson University. He interned at Chestnut Hill Hospital.
He served as a Navy doctor aboard the Inchon, a Marine helicopter transport, in the Mediterranean from 1971 to 1973. After he was discharged he joined the emergency room staff at Chestnut Hill Hospital.
Dr. Seymour is survived by his wife of 27 years, Evelyn Berry Seymour, and sons Peter and Michael.
A memorial service was held Aug. 3 at the Epiphany Chapel at Chestnut Hill Academy. Memorial donations may be sent to Chestnut Hill Academy, 500 W. Willow Grove Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19118, for the Parker M. Seymour Memorial Fund.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Is it physical or mental.... And explain why..
please answer below- don't be scared to tell us the truth
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
The one thing I would change about myself is probably how I felt about myself in the past... I wish I could go back and get the confidence in myself that I have now... like specifically through out middle school and highschool... why? I think that I would of had a lot more fun in school and I wouldn't of had the "i hate the world attitude" I wouldn't have been so shy so distant... I think I wouldn't have gone through the depression I did if I discovered things then that I did when I got out of school... .but honestly I don't think I would be who I am now... if I would have known that then... I am a much stronger person... so maybe I wouldn't change a thing.
What Girls Said 14
I'd give myself a better memory. Mine is terrible. I'm decently smart and can grasp things quickly, but I wish I didn't have to re-grasp them quite as often as I do. That and it'd be nice if I could occasionally know someone's name when they call me by mine. My office just got a lot bigger (merger) and all these new people had my name down in like a day. It's been over a month and I think I've got like 5% of their names down. Ugh.
I would be more confident too.I honestly like the way I look, but it's like as soon as I'm out in public, my opinion of myself just drops. It makes me hold back and feel like I'm not good enough, and I've missed so many opportunities because of that.I want the confidence to go after what I want, to have something and feel like I deserve it.
The reason your confidents drops is because you start looking at other people and see what they have that you don't you need to think more along the lines of what you have and they don't.... I am not saying judge everybody else or put them down to make yourself feel better.... but I hope you see what I mean.
Start looking at what you DO have instead of what you don't have... that way, ur gonna be more confident- because if you look at everyone else, and compare- ur always gonna come up short... everyone has something the other guy/girl doesn't.... you might be more flexible than me, whereas I may be stronger, and so on....
I would be less of a coward and not be worried about upsetting people.
I wish I were more comfortable with myself. Maybe then I could stop trying to impress people that aren't worth impressing in the first place.
I wish I was more of an extrovert and that legs were naturally smooth like my moms.
I wish I could change my shyness. And I will because there are things I wanna do and I'm not gonna wait anymore. I think people need to stop saying what they wish they could do, and just take risks and do it. We all have things that we wanna change, but we should still love ourselves and realize that its a personal or life-style change. I'm not wishing anymore, I'm making things happen. I'm changing the way I think,eat,and feel. Its an amazing feeling, I'm so glad I'm making these changes.
would want to have a smaller upper body
i'm kinda tired of being a DD.. go down a size or two a D or a CC would be better
ARE...YOU...CRAZY???!!!! LOL j/k
- Show Older Hide Older
Lol thanx XD
i would have to change that I need to be with someone to feel happy, I wish I could just go about life and not think about those things and be happy with myself...
I'd change... the fact that I'm very jealous. :/
That's a great one... definently... ur future bf's will thank you...
Yeah :P thing is, I've never had a boyfriend, so I don't know if I am jealous in a relationship.I only know that when girls flirt with him... it really annoys me, too much sometimes.
I would change my weight. I know I don't look that big, but I'de like to feel better about myself as well as be healtheir. Weight related problems run in my family so I have to be extra careful.
I don't think I cud pick just one thing tbh... hahaId like to be slimmer... that would be the main one I suppose!but then I cud also say shorter so I can wear high heels, smarter just to make sure I actually graduate from uni and less jealous so I can trust boys more! x
So ur around 6 feet tall or something?
- Show Older Hide Older
Fwiw, my wife is 6'0" and I love that about her.
Thats worth the climb, huh lefty...
I let people walk all over me. It is almost impossible to say to people so if someone asks for something I am always willing to give. This is bad in relationship because my exes think they can treat me like crap and I will let them. My ex actually told me at the beginning of our relationship he thought if he cheated on my that I would take him back, then 6 months ago he did just that and then dumped me for the girl and when that didn't work he came back to me for sex. I have been letting him do this because I have so much difficulty to say no to him. Worst thing is, whenever I try to stand my ground and kick him to the curb he doesn't take me seriously.
For ur sake, ya gotta start bn more assertive!!!!
I'd love to just have confidence. To be able to be myself all the time and not hold back. I'm sure my life would be so much better and more exciting if only I could more easily express myselfAnd regarding my physical appearance, I'd love to have bigger breasts- I'm only an A cup and it really holds me back and makes me really insecure when it comes to guys.
Bigger boobs are good, but they ain't everything... you can exercise to make 'em bigger
What Guys Said 5
I would like perfect vision in both eyes. I got blinded by a knife and I would really like to see what depth perception is like.
I would change my hair, I wish it was thicker, and I would change my personality some, I wish I didn't over analyze so much and I wish I didn't get stressed over "small" things :<
i would change my body, get rid of my fat and replace with muscle.
How big ru then?
- Show Older Hide Older
That's big... I'm not as big as you (6' 2400, but I know watya mean- I was over 300 lbs once... that's no fun. In my view, ifya got down to around 225-250 range, you'd be a chick magnet
LOL yea that's what I'm hoping to =D
I would be more confident. For most of my life I've felt held back by my shyness and it's kept me from doing things that I might have enjoyed. If I were confidant I wouldn't need to worry about my physical appearance. I would be going out more which would help me lose weight and for things like acne I doubt I would care as much.
You answer ur own question, now it's up to you to get that done... I been thar, it ain't fun... Here's hoping you get that done...
I've been trying to think better of myself but after so many years of negative thoughts it isn't easy. Breaking up feelings of worthlessness takes time.
It does- I been there, it can be done
I wish I was handsomer
It's all about confidence, my man...

- Love this place!SteveDined on 5/18/2014Our 2nd time there. We had a party of 8 and worried we'd get a a bad table, etc. Turned out we were about the only table in the room, a slow night for them. So we had great service, lots of attention. It was a birthday and from the hostess on the birthday person was noted and congratulated over and over. Even their name on the menu. Good food, most of us did the Prix Fix menu and it was good. Love the look of the place and will go back.Special Features:

- DisappointingelbowkVIPDined on 5/10/2014Even though this is a relatively new spot, that could not excuse the disappointment we experienced at our dinner. The mussels were good but we ordered a large little gem salad for almost $11 hoping to share and got what I thought was a small portion. Boy what a rip off!!! That should have been enough to be a family style salad. The special of the night, pistachio crusted halibut was dry and unappetizing. The meats, Izzy's supposed specialties, were passable. Don't even waste your time trying this place.
- DeliciousjimHVIPDined on 5/8/2014Another great dinner at Izzy's . From the moment you are greeted at arrival the staff here treats you like their only mission is to provide you with a fantastic dining experience . Our service was great and the food was delicious .

Our server was very professional and looked out for our needs..........Overall a great place...PS.. the goat cheese gnocchi was superb!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- sunday special1fussyeaterDined on 4/6/2014Our party of 4 enjoyed the prixe fix menu, with Salmon, Chicken and Gnocchi. All were excellent. The spaghetti squash was delicious. No complaints about the food or wine, place is a bit noisy and wasn't even full.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- IzzysdinaroundDined on 4/5/2014Party of three and everyone loved their meal. I tried a bite of everything and couldn't decide which I liked best.

- Great Neighborhood HangoutBudncamVIPDined on 3/29/2014Actually, quite elegant for a neighborhood hangout. Standout service, good overall menu, and a snappy happy hour. Clearly one of the best bars and bar areas in this area. Wish they would bring back the roasted squid.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- still working out the kinksAlamoLocalVIPDined on 3/20/2014We went to the bar shortly after it opened, a few months back, and weren't allowed to sub on the cheese plate. It would mess up the symmetry of their cheese ordering. More recently we had dinner. We asked for the pork chop medium (comes medium well) and no sauce. The waiter suggested sauce on the side, and we said fine. It came smothered in sauce. Next version was way overcooked, which the waiter somehow guessed. Margherita pizza had cold mozzarella cheese and after asking for more oven time it came back little better. But, I think they care, and I think they'll get it down. The ambitious menu, if properly executed, will be good. Waiter was great, and it's a nice space. So keep at it guys, and give us the kind place Alamo needs.Special Features:
- First Time VisitkrehVIPDined on 3/15/2014Upon entering, it kind of has a casino restaurant feel with the brightly lit bar and TVs. There was a good crowd in both the bar and restaurant, and a lot of energy. Our sampling of the menu was not extensive, but what we had was adequately prepared and presented. Service was attentive and the kitchen seemed to be working smoothly. It is nice to have an option in Alamo, but the atmosphere could be more intimate if they perhaps turned down the lights some.
- Overall experienceRickDined on 3/14/2014The food was good, service was average, décor seemed a bit to sterile, noise level was high. Not energetic high just very loud in the bar area almost impossible to carry on a conversation the noise level carried into the restaurant. it felt more like a cafeteria.

This year Monty has already planted a lot of tulips in the Jewel garden. Now they are planted it is an ideal opportunity to mulch the soil. Before mulching both Monty and Rachel clear the area of annuals and perennials. Annuals such as Tithonia can be lifted straight out the soil, roots and all, and put on the compost heap. Some perennials such as Helenium can be cut right back to ground level. They will grow again next spring. Some plants such as Salvia can be cut back and then lifted, potted up and stored in a frost free position over winter.
Mulching is great for the soil as it not only feeds but insulates against the worst of the weather. Heavy winter rain can wash or leach nutrients from 'unguarded' soil.
There are a few points to remember when mulching:
Weed and clear any unwanted plant material before mulching;
Only mulch onto damp soil – mulching dry soil will stop moisture from penetrating the soil;
If you can, mulch to a depth of at least 10cm. This may take a lot of mulch – but any mulch is better than no mulch;
Don't place or push mulch right up against stems and tree trunks. Mulch around stems can trap water and induce rotting.
The actual mulch used at Monty's is home made garden compost. This is best because it completes the cycle of the garden and doesn't cost anything! However, not everyone has room for large compost heaps, or if you are waiting for your own compost to mature, there are alternatives:
Free mulch is available in the form of fallen leaves. Place leaves on the surface of the soil and let the winter weather and worms work hard. By spring the leaves will have broken down or have been dragged into the soil;
Mineralised straw is available costing around £7 per bag. This is a great mulch for using on beds and borders adding organic matter and added iron nutrients to the soil;
Cocoa shells are a popular choice as mulch but if ingested by dogs can cause sickness. Keep dogs away from such mulch for at least a month after placing on the soil. The shells are great for mulching on beds and borders. Bags are available from most garden retailers and cost around £10 each.
Gardeners play a vital role in the support of wildlife in the garden and everyone can make a difference. Pam Ayres gardens with wildlife in mind and her simple yet effective methods have encouraged all sorts of critters into her garden:Gardening for wildlife
Cutting small sections of hollow stems and placing these in cut off plastic bottles will provide cosy homes for insects. Place the stem filled bottles in dry, quiet parts of your garden and insects will quickly find them;
Bird baths are great for birds as sources of drinking water but it is vital to clean the water out and refill every week;
Bird boxes make great Christmas presents (Pam used a bird box made out of Woodcrete – a mix of wood (for insulation) and concrete (for strength and durability). Make sure you place boxes in a position out of strong, direct sunlight (south –facing is a bad choice) and away from any prevailing rain (to prevent young birds from being deluged) Wooden bird boxes look good and will last many seasons. Most garden retailers and many online companies sell a range of great bird boxes;
Plants play a vital part in the success of wildlife, and plants with berries provide food for birds. Pam adores her Firethorn (Pyracantha) for its robust nature and ability to produce plenty of berries. Ivy is also great for providing cover for birds, nesting sites and berries on mature plants. For even more information, check out the following link
It is the perfect time to replant (or plant for the first time!) rhubarb crowns. If you have room, choose a couple of different varieties to help produce a continuity of supply of the tender stems. When planting crowns there are a few points to remember:
The crown or root should be planted between autumn and spring;
They require planting about 1m (3 feet) apart to prevent crowding and to allow the plant to establish a large root system;
Rhubarb grows best in well drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It is happy in an acid soil;
Before planting, work plenty of rotted manure or compost into the soil to enrich it;
Dig a hole slightly bigger than the plant or crown;
The top of the crown should sit just above the surface of the soil;
During the first year after planting the stalks should not be picked as this can affect subsequent crops as it weakens the plant. The young plant needs to establish itself and form a strong healthy crown;
It is beneficial to an established plant to apply composted manure or leaves in autumn or early winter, being careful not to cover the crowns, to prevent any rotting. One or two shovels full would be sufficient. Too much nitrogen can make the plant flower which is undesirable unless the rhubarb is an ornamental variety;
Rhubarb is fairly pest and disease resistant. The only thing to watch for is rot - this can be avoided by planting in well drained soil and not burying under compost. If rot is caught early the rotten piece of root can be cut away and replant the rest. This will hopefully save the plant.
Monty divided his existing plants of a variety called 'Timperley Early'. This variety is the most popular in the UK and produces long, bright, red-based sticks that average 60cm long with a delicious, sweet flavour. It's a fantastic variety for outdoor production and for forcing in late winter.
The other varieties Monty planted are:
Victoria: The greenish-pink stems of Rhubarb 'Victoria' have tender flesh with an excellent balance of sweetness and acidity. Once established, this popular, traditional variety will produce a heavy crop, year after year;
Hawke's Champagne: Renowned for its thin stems and excellent flavour. Originally grown for making sparkling wine, hence the name. Delicately thin, long, scarlet stems that have a sweet flavour from early spring. An old variety, it's easy to grow, reliable, early and ideal for forcing. Its deep red stems make this one of the most attractive varieties;
Stockbridge Arrow: Monty planted this variety 'off camera' and you will be able to watch its development in 2012. The variety was bred in Yorkshire and is considered by many to be the best of the modern varieties. The long easy to pull sticks, up to 60cm in length, are bright red in colour. The leaves are small and a distinctive arrow shape. Once established will produce up to 3kg of sticks each season, less if forced.

• Kubishevsky
Ideally the grapes will have a sunny position and be protected from summer rain and the attentions of the birds.
The apples that John Harrris (Head Gardener) talks about are:Tresillian House
• Apple 'Tommy Knight'
• Apple 'Cornish Gilliflower'
For full details on opening times and contact details please visit the following website:
The winter period is a great time to plant bare-root apple trees. Bare-root simply means plants that have been grown in a field, lifted and are sold with no soil around the bare roots. There is always a great choice in bare-roots and you get more tree for your money.
Monty plants a heritage apple called 'Pitmaston Pine Apple'.
The best way to plant a bare-root tree is to dig a wide hole that is just deep enough to take the roots. Never plant too deeply – the union between the rootstock and the desired apple (the graft) should be just above the finished soil level.
Before planting, use a garden fork to make holes in the bottom and sides of the planting hole. Do not add organic matter to the hole as this will encourage roots to stay within the planting hole area and not explore the surrounding soil.
Always stake young trees – securing the stake in position before planting to avoid any damage to roots.
Place the tree roots in the hole and gently backfill with soil. Firm the soil around the soil, water and finally add a mulch of homemade garden compost or a shop bought alternative. Do not push mulch directly up to the trunk of the tree.
Andrew Ingram is British Christmas Tree Growers Association grower of the year and is supplying the Christmas tree to Downing Street.The Tree Barn
He talks about the best three trees for the house:
Picea abies (Norway spruce): a 'traditional' Christmas tree with spiky needles, and with care, capable of holding its leaves throughout the Christmas period;
Abies nordmanniana (Nordman Fir): the 'no needle drop tree' (but Andrew points out every tree will drop a few leaves. This tree has softer needles and a blue tingle to the leaves;
Picea omorika (Serbian spruce): a slender tree that often produces cones.
Andrew's top tips for making the most of your cut tree are to bring it into the house at the last minute; cut off the bottom inch or two of trunk and ensure the tree is in a reservoir of water – this prevents trees from drying out.

Product Recall: We are voluntarily recalling fewer than 8,000 cases of regular Kraft American Singles Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Productlimited to 4 SKUs on two "Best When Used By" dates of February 20, 2015 and February 21, 2015. Click Here.
I've heard of all kinds of unusual foods being cooked in slow cookers that had me intrigued. We all know the usual meals that can be cooked in slow cookers: soups, pot roast, casseroles, etc. but have you heard of cookies? I'm all about trying new things in the name of dessert so I decided to give this idea a try. Seriously, being able to put it all together and walking away to do other things while it cooks is such an amazing concept! Whoever invented this appliance is a true genius.
Well..... It worked! I actually made a chocolate chip cookie in my slow cooker. It was easy, it tasted good, and it was soft. You all know I am a marshmallow fanatic so I added my own special twist of marshmallows to the recipe. I'm pretty sure all kinds of other cookie recipes would work too. Might just have to try them out haha.

Before the PlayStation 4 launched we asked The Indie Stone whether or not they are interested in bringing the game over to the PlayStation 3 or the Vita to which they replied, "we'd love to -- but it is up to Sony". Later they expressed this task would be rather difficult considering that the game's development is very time consuming and that they have a rather small team for such an ambitious game.
A lot has changed since then. The Indie portal for the PlayStation 4 has proven to be very friendly and convenient for developers due to the very laid-back submission policy. The Indie Portal for the PlayStation 4 is somewhat similar to Steam; developers can patch and update their game as they seem fit without being charged fees like Microsoft's ID@XBOX service. This allows developers to release games early access alphas or betas.
Project Zomboid would be the killer app for PlayStation 4's second screen feature, or even as a standalone or cross-play game for the PlayStation 4 and Vita. We've asked The Indie Stone to comment, in the meantime you can help make this a reality by letting @PlayStation and @TheIndieStone know how much you want this to happen.

"But who could've seen it coming? No one. We went through the Games, we were victors, everyone seemed so thrilled to see us together, and then out of nowhere - I mean, how could we anticipate a thing like that?"
"You couldn't, Peeta." Caesar puts an arm around his shoulders. "As you say, no one could've. But I have to confess, I'm glad you two had at least a few months of happiness together." …
"I'm not glad," says Peeta. "I wish we had waited until the whole thing was done officially."
This takes even Caesar aback. "Surely even a brief time is better than no time?"
"Maybe I'd think that, too, Caesar," says Peeta bitterly, "if it weren't for the baby."

Warning to Boaters
Chickasaw National Recreation area is warning all boat users to be cautious while boating on Lake of the Arbuckles due to low water levels in the lake. More »
Swimming Areas Closed
Due to low water flow in Travertine Creek, the Little Niagara, Panther Falls, and Bear Falls swimming areas are closed until further notice. The Little Niagara and Panther Falls picnic areas remain open.
Eagle Bay Boat Launch Closed
Due to low water in Lake of the Arbuckles, Eagle Bay Boat Launch is closed.
Origin and Movement of Water
Ground water in the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer originates as precipitation falling on the aquifer outcrop (where the Arbuckle and Simpson geologic units are found at the land surface). Thus, water in the aquifer is of local origin and does not come from great distances. Precipitation falling on the outcrop infiltrates into the soil zone, where the water evaporates or is transpired by plants back to the atmosphere, or continues down into the aquifer to become ground water.
The dominant rock types of the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer are limestone (calcium carbonate) and dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate). The water chemistry is produced by dissolving small amounts of minerals in these rocks primarily through the action of carbon dioxide (in the form of carbonic acid) introduced in the soil zone. The dissolution of the carbonate minerals causes the water to be very hard. Water containing mostly calcium bicarbonate is found in the western part of the aquifer, where the Arbuckle- Simpson aquifer is predominantly limestone. Calcium magnesium bicarbonate water is found in the eastern part of the aquifer, where the rock type is predominantly dolomite.
Water in the aquifer is constantly flowing and generally flows in the same direction as runoff, from topographically high areas to topographically low areas, to discharge at springs and streams. Typically, the time from precipitation entering the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer to discharge at springs, streams, or wells is less than 60 years, which for ground water is a rapid flow system. However, not all water in the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer discharges in a short period of time. Some of the water may take a deeper and longer flow path before discharging. Water flowing along these longer paths may take thousands of years to reach a discharge point.

10 Beauty Shortcuts
The fastest way to dry nail polish, grow out a bad haircut, and more.
The Fastest Way to Dry Nail Polish
Dunk your hands in a bowl of ice-cold water. "The cold water freeze-dries polish, sealing and hardening it quickly," says Belinda Rivera, a nail specialist in Austin,
Texas. Allow nails to air-dry for two minutes, then submerge in ice-cold water for three minutes, which is enough time for
the polish to harden completely.
Another option: Blast nails with cool air from a hair dryer in between coats. This helps each layer of color dry as you go.
Quick tip: Old nail polish can take forever to dry, since time can turn polish gooey and thick. Toss bottles when the polish begins to change color or separate. At that point, the lacquer has probably thickened and become unusable.

Robin Williams stars as Hunter Adams, a troubled young man who commits himself to a mental institution in the late 1960s. His experiences there convince Adams to become a doctor, and he enrolls in medical school, where he is appalled at the cold, clinical professionalism that alienates patients from their caregivers.
