Beautiful Homes of Instagram
I am honestly very happy to continue the Beautiful Homes of Instagram series, after a few cancellations due the Holidays. This weekly series is one of the most popular on Home Bunch and it's a pleasure to have Jennifer from @classicstylehome on the blog. Jennifer is a busy mom of three and she is the queen of multi-tasking! You will see why here!
"I'm a full-time nurse auditor, part-time designer and stager, and mom of three boys. My second home was a craftsman/colonial hybrid with a many decorating challenges. I was inspired by New England homes white woodwork and dark wood floors when looking for design ideas. I added window trim, door trim, and wainscoting throughout the house. Neighbors and friends asked me constantly how I completed projects so a blog was born in 2013. It was easier then texting descriptions of how to paint woodwork, build your own stairs, etc. I rarely did projects the right way and focused on short cuts I shared on my blog instead since I was on a budget like most people. I caught the eye of a local realtor who asked me to start staging homes for her and my business has grown locally via word of mouth. My Instagram and blog is a reflection of my home and current inspiration on design instead of client's homes. I love all styles of design, but my blog and Instagram is my creative outlet since my style is always evolving.
I moved into my current new build home in August 2015. It is completely different than my last because I prefer to work with the architecture and landscape of a home. However, I love to mix and match for an eclectic, unique look that will always be my own. My new home is mostly French in architecture, but I see Moroccan influences in the interior arches. I've tried to incorporate the old world style, but inject a bit of contemporary design with white walls and abstract paintings. I always want to be current and never feel like I'm living in a time capsule. A parallel nod to traditional and modern design is always going to be my preference. Currently, I am loving Spanish influences and have incorporated it into my design recently in ways that still fit with my decor. It's always a balance of modern, traditional, light, ornate, etc. that I walk. It's not the easiest way to design, but it's my favorite!"

All kids love mud puddles. It doesn't matter if they are a boy or a girl. Mud puddles equal endless fun for kids. They splash, jump and kick to their hearts content. There is just something about a hole filled with muddy water that screams "I'm fun! Jump in me!" to little ones.
Remember that injured bear cub they found this past summer after a forest fire in Idaho? He's been rehabilitating in the Snowdon Wildlife Sanctuary near McCall.
The changes in the weather and seasons have animals on the move.

What is Boots to Business?
Boots to Business (B2B) is an entrepreneurial education and training program offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) as a training track within the Department of Defense's revised Transition Assistance Program (TAP). The curriculum provides valuable assistance to transitioning Service members exploring business ownership or other self employment opportunities by leading them through the key steps for evaluating business concepts and providing the foundational knowledge required to develop a business plan. In addition, participants are introduced to SBA resources available to help access start up capital and additional technical assistance. Boots to Business is delivered in partnership with SBA Resource Partners [Veterans Business Outreach
Centers (VBOCs), Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs), Women's Business Centers (WBCs), and SCORE] and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) at Syracuse University. It is available free of charge at participating installations to Service members and their spouses transitioning or retiring from the U.S. military.
The Boots to Business course has three parts: 1) The Entrepreneurship Track Overview – an introductory video shown during the mandatory five day TAP GPS course; 2) Introduction to Entrepreneurship – a two-day classroom course offered as one of three additional TAP tracks; and, 3) Foundations of Entrepreneurship – an eight-week instructor-led online course that offers in-depth instruction on the elements of a business plan and tips and techniques for starting a business.
When did Boots to Business begin?
Boots to Business began as a pilot initiative in July 2012. The pilot's success allowed SBA to an Initial Operating Capability (IOC) in 2013 by expanding to offer entrepreneurship education at military installations across the country. In 2014, Boots to Business was funded for the first time in the federal budget to expand to Full Operational Capability (FOC) by increasing its frequency and geographic reach to overseas locations.
Since 2013 – the first full year of Boots to Business – over 20,000 transitioning Service members, including many spouses, participated in the two-day Introduction to Entrepreneurship class on over 165 military installations worldwide.
What is "TAP" or Transition GPS and how is it related to Boots to Business?
The Department of Defense launched a revised Transition Assistance Program in 2012 to better prepare Service members for post service life and careers. Part of the new TAP is curriculum known as Transition Goals, Plans, Success (Transition GPS), which provides Service members with additional training tracks to assist with their transition to civilian life. The Boots to Business Entrepreneurship Track is one of Transition GPS's training tracks provided by the SBA for Service members interested in business ownership or other self-employment as a career option. (Additional tracks focus on higher education and technical/vocational training.)
How did SBA and Boots to Business become part of Transition GPS?
Data showing veterans' suitability for entrepreneurship informed the decisions of two joint task forces formed by Presidential Executive Orders in 2010 and 2011 and led to the creation of Boots to Business – The Veterans Employment Initiative Task Force (VEI) led by the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Interagency Task Force on Veterans Small Business Development led by the U.S. Small Business Administration. These joint task forces were charged to develop proposals to maximize the career readiness of all Service members and to better support veteran-owned small businesses. They are also responsible for making recommendations to assure the implementation of Boots to Business, among other initiatives, and provide annual progress reports to the President.
The Administration, the task forces, and the SBA recognize that transitioning veterans possess the training, experience, and leadership skills to start businesses and create jobs. The most recent U.S. Census recorded 2.45 million veteran-owned businesses employing 5.793 million individuals and representing 9 percent of all U.S. firms. Veterans are 45 percent more likely to be self-employed than those with no military experience.
The SBA will continue supporting veterans as they start and grow businesses and create jobs. By working with SBA's Resource Partners [Veterans Business Outreach Centers (VBOCs), Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs), Women's Business Centers (WBCs), and SCORE] and the IVMF to deliver entrepreneurship education, the SBA provides transitioning Service members with the knowledge and resources they need to evaluate business opportunities and become successful entrepreneurs. SBA helps veterans get started and connects them to the SBA Resource Partner network for support throughout the life-cycle of their businesses.
(Boots to Business classes are only taught by SBA Partners and employees.)
Who can attend Boots to Business?
Boots to Business has been designed specifically for transitioning Service members. It caters to all pay grades, enlisted and officer, as well as military spouses. Participants include Service members transitioning after initial service commitments all the way through those retiring from a career of service.
How can a service member find out when/where a Boots to Business class is scheduled?
Service members wishing to participate in B2B should speak with their Transition Assistance Program (TAP) coordinator and/or career advisor to learn more about Boots to Business. Additional information and schedules can also be found at www.sba.gov/bootstobusiness.
Is there a cost to attending Boots to Business?
No, there is no cost to B2B participants. SBA is the government sponsor for Boots to Business.
What does the Boots to Business curriculum cover?
The three-part entrepreneurial track is offered by SBA, its Resource Partners, and Syracuse University and includes:
An informational video shown during the core TAP course introduces entrepreneurship as a post-service career option.
A two-day course offered as an additional TAP class for those interested in learning more about the opportunities and challenges of business ownership. Subject matter experts and practicioners from SBA and its network of Partners teach the course at over 165 military installations worldwide. Participants learn business fundamentals and techniques for evaluating the feasibility of their business concepts.
Upon completion of Introduction to Entrepreneurship class, transitioning Service members and their spouses can elect to further their study through an instructor guided high-touch eight-week online course taught by professors from a consortium of accredited universities led by the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University. By dedicating a minimum often hours per week to connected and independent study, participants work through the fundamentals of developing an actionable business plan.
After completing Boots to Business, participants will have the tools and knowledge they need to identify a business opportunity, draft a business plan, and launch their enterprise.
Can I take the Foundations of Entrepreneurship eight week online course without participating in the two-day Introduction to Entrepreneurship?
Foundations of Entrepreneurship (the eight-week online curriculum) for Boots to Business builds on the training provided during the two-day Introduction to Entrepreneurship course. At the completion of Introduction to Entrepreneurship, participants are provided with registration information for the Foundations of Entrepreneurship course.
Why is it important for aspiring veteran entrepreneurs to develop a feasibility study and business plan?
SBA delivers B2B with the support of its district offices and Resource Partners, such as the Veterans Business Outreach Centers (VBOCs), Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs), Women's Business Centers (WBCs) and SCORE. With a feasibility study and business plan in hand, SBA's district offices and Resource Partners can better match veteran entrepreneurs to SBA programs that will help them grow their businesses. Also, a business plan is normally required to be considered for lending and other financing programs.
Beyond Boots to Business, what additional training/mentoring options are available to veteran entrepreneurs?
Beyond the B2B course, SBA's network of Resource Partners offer continued training and mentoring programs to assist veteran entrepreneurs. The SBA's Resource Partners already provide entrepreneurship training to more than 100,000 veterans every year, many of whom are transitioning Service members.

Home > Press > Dental Implant Market in Canada Experiences 5.6% Growth in 2009 While US Market Declines by 4.2%
While Canada Typically Mimics the US Trends in the North American Dental Implant Market, Last Year Saw a Change, according to Millennium Research Group
According to Millennium Research Group (MRG), the global authority on medical technology market intelligence, while Canada typically mimics US trends in the North American dental implant market, last year was very different. The struggling American economy led to a shrinking market for dental implants, while the Canadian market achieved moderate growth of 5.6%.
The greatest discrepancy was seen in the North American market for regular-diameter dental implant fixtures. As volumes shrank in the US, prices dropped as manufacturers attempted to maintain volumes through discounting. As a result, the US regular-diameter dental implant fixture market experienced a moderate decline. In Canada, however, the economic downturn had less of an impact on this market, with volumes continuing to grow, albeit at a slower pace. Prices grew as new, more expensive technologies were adopted, such as implants with nanotechnology surface treatments, allowing the market to grow despite the recession.
The final abutment market also declined in the US in 2009. Volumes decreased as a result of fewer regular-diameter dental implants placed that year, but this was slightly offset by a small increase in price. In Canada, however, volumes had slowed but there was still significant growth. Canadian dental practitioners were much more willing to adopt new technologies, such as expensive custom-milled abutments, because their practices were less impacted by the economic crisis. Prices thereby increased, and the result was moderate market growth of 4.7%.
"In 2009, the economy strongly affected the US market for dental implants," says Emily MacIntosh, Analyst at MRG. "This market was characterized by cost cutting, where dental practitioners sought discounts and low-cost components. Meanwhile, patients sought lower-cost solutions, which often excluded regular-diameter dental implants. The Canadian market would normally echo American trends, but this year Canadian consumers and dental professionals were in a better economic position than their neighbors. For the most part, the Canadian market continued 'business as usual,' resulting in moderate growth."
MRG's North American Markets for Dental Implants 2011 report provides critical insight into trends that will fuel and limit market growth for dental implants in the US and Canada. The report includes a breakdown of unit volumes, average selling prices, and market values for regular-diameter fixtures (by shape, by surface treatment, and by type), small-diameter fixtures, final abutments (cement-retained, custom milled, overdenture, and screw-retained), and other tools such as analogs, components, and healing abutments.

Skilled web scrapper reuired
This project received 11 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $130 USD.

$30 - $250 USDTotal Bids
11Project Description
I'm looking for a coder who can set me up with some kind of automated web data scrapper/extractor which can automatically convert the data and import it into website
I would like to extract products from their websites, and import them into my website, BUT, the prices must
automatically change by a percentage, then all sku numbers will start with a specific sequence of numbers, so when a customer
orders a product from our store, we can find out who is the supplier it belongs to.
there are different categories in each website of course, i do not want to extract the categorie name, and i do not want to extract
every category.
i will give you an example of all of the above, let's assume the price markup will be 10% and we're importing the "Hard
Drive" category from hookbag's website, and we're naming hookbag's store as store number 12.
-all hard drives products under that specific category will be extracted, let's just talk about a single item for now, "Seagate
1TB 7200rpm HD selling for $100 and has a sku# 38000"
1) hard drive extracted with their prices and pictures
2) price changed by 10% to $110
3) sku changed to 1238000
4) item imported into website into my own categories.
I would like it mostly automated, but it can be done manually as well.
This project involves scraping several websites to compile a database of contacts. The contact details should include all available contact data that can be obtained from the websites such as "Contact Name", "Title", "Areas of Specialty / Services Provided", "Business Name", "Address", "Phone", "Fax", "e-mail", "Contacts Website", "Data Source (i.e. source website url)", and so forth. The contact details should be provided in rows with column headings in Excel format.

Full Product Description
It is absolutely essential that a church perceive itself as an institution for the glory of God, and to do that, claims John MacArthur, the local church must adhere unfalteringly to biblical leadership principles. Christ never intended church leadership to be earned by seniority, purchased with money, or inherited through family ties. He never compared church leaders to governing monarchs, but rather to humble shepherds; not to slick celebrities, but to laboring servants. Drawing from some of the best-received material on church leadership, this updated edition guides the church with crucial, effective lessons in leadership. This book is valuable not only for pastors and elders, but for anyone else who wants the church to be what God intended it to be.
The Master's Plans for the Church by John MacArthur was published by Moody in March 2008 and is our 32229th best seller. The ISBN for The Master's Plans for the Church is 9780802478450.

Windows 7 includes a new feature that displays a link allowing you to quickly look at a list of the folders that you have recently viewed on the computer. This feature is called "Recent Places," and you can access it from the "Favorites" section of an open Windows Explorer window. While this feature may be convenient, it also carries a potential privacy risk. Windows 7 gives you the ability to empty the "Recent Places" list when needed, in the event that you want to prevent others from seeing those recently viewed folders.
- Skill level:
- Moderately Easy
Other People Are Reading
- 1
Click the blue Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the desktop.
- 2
Click "Computer" on the right side of the Start menu. A new Windows Explorer window appears. Under the "Favorites" category in the upper-left corner of the Windows Explorer window, you will see the entry for "Recent Places."
- 3
Right-click the "Recent Places" folder, and then click "Clear Recent Items List." Windows 7 removes the list of recently accessed folders from the Recent Places folder.
Tips and warnings
- Windows 7 also maintains a list of the recent files you have opened. These files are displayed under the "Recent Items" entry on the Start menu. You can clear your recent items using the same method described in this article; right-click the folder, and then click "Clear Recent Items List." Although Windows Vista does not have a "Recent Places" link in Windows Explorer, Vista does have a "Recent Items" start menu entry, which you can also clear using this method.

When we arrived here a lot of people told us the Christmas Markets were a must. This picture is taken from the top of a huge set of stairs in front of a church. This is Senate square.
The booths are all in these small buildings, brought in for the temporary markets. There are other markets that are less well housed and are open all year, with more participating in better weather.
Some people make crafts all year for their booths. Others are filled with commercial products.
The old fashioned Merrygoround was a hit. The knit hats with yarn or fur poms are very popular here.
This is a statue of Alexander the Second, often called the good czar because he allowed the them self rule during his reign, is a permanent feature of the square.
Here he is shown with other market features. It was fun to see a hay wagon ride being pulled through the streets too.

Identification of Promising Naval Aviation Science and Technology Opportunities
By: National Academy of Sciences (author), National Research Council (author), Committee on Identification of Promising Naval Aviation Science and Technology Opportunities (author), Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences (author), Naval Studies Board (author)PaperbackMore than 4 weeks availability
The Department of Defense is developing the means to transform the nationa (TM)s armed forces to meet future military challenges. For the Navy and Marine Corps, this vision is encompassed in Naval Power 21. Many new war-fighting concepts will be needed to implement this vision, and the ONR has requested the NRC to identify new science and technology opportunities for new naval aviation capabilities to support those concepts. This report presents an assessment of what they imply for naval aviation, an analysis of some capabilities that, if developed, would make a significant contribution to realizing those concepts, and an identification of key technologies in which ONR could invest to achieve those capabilities. In particular, the report focuses on seven key capabilities: multispectral defense, unmanned air operations, hypersonic weapons delivery, fast-kill weapons, heavy-lift air transport, intelligent combat information management, and omniscient intelligence.Create a review

Lemon Curd
30.7.10i hv a weakness for lemon curd. when i first tasted a jar of waitrose organic lemon curd, i knew i had to make some myself. that was many years back and it (homemade, not storebought!) became a pantry staple ever since. i like having it with scones, tarts and as a filling for macarons. and this time round i decided to try out a lemon curd recipe from cannelle et vanille's blog coz i got curious after seeing the recipe. first of all it doesn't require any cornflour and secondly the way its cooked is exactly how you would a creme anglaise or ice cream. the one i frequently use is actually good enough but there'd always be some annoying bits of cooked egg whites in there and i'd often end up picking them out or blending them back in.
tastewise, this one is more liquidy and very tart since it uses only 35g of sugar and no cornflour but i really like how smooth and creamy it is. the texture is almost like creme patissiere and the color pale like mayonnaise! i used them to fill some leftover tartlet shells from my previous order, sans meringue topping this time.

Tatoo I
< Tatoo I
this wiki
- "And this is no place to be without transportation once those twin suns really start cookin'!"
- ―Han Solo
Tatoo I, also known as G1, was one of the yellow stars at the heart of the Tatoo system. A binary star, its partner was Tatoo II.
Tatoo I was a G1-type main sequence binary star, sister of G2-type Tatoo II. They formed the Tatoo system with the planets Tatooine, Ohann, and Adriana. The system lied at the crossroads of the Triellus Trade Route and the Old Corellian Run in the Arkanis sector of the the Slice's Outer Rim segment.[1] In Huttese, the dominant language on Tatooine, the twin suns were known as "Gi Dopa Gasha."[3]
Tatoo I was formed when a hydrogen molecular cloud collapsed. Throughout most of its life, energy was produced by nuclear fusion, which converted hydrogen into helium. Each second, millions of metric tons of hydrogen were converted into energy within the Tatoo I's core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation. It had a lifespan of roughly ten billion years as a main sequence star.[1] Tatoo I did not have enough mass to explode as a supernova. At the end of its lifespan, stars of its kind entered a red giant phase, its outer layers expanding as the hydrogen fuel in the core is consumed and the core contracts and heats up.
Children on Tatooine would often tell stories of huge, powerful dragons that would live inside the two great suns that would shine down upon them. Smaller cousins of these dragons were to live in the fusion furnaces that powered many types of machinery and vehicles.[4]
As a slaveboy, Anakin Skywalker would climb to the roof of his hovel at night, lie back, and imagine he was as far away from Tatooine as possible. A decade later, in 23 BBY, an 18-year-old Skywalker found himself in the Fondor system, 40,000 light-years away from the hovel's roof, gazing up at the binary stars that he knew to be Tatoo I and Tatoo II—the twin suns of his home planet—and he imagined the day when he would return to Tatooine and free his enslaved mother, Shmi.[5]
- See also: History of the Tatoo system
Some early explorers thought the first planet of the system to be the third star, because of its blazing light reflected by its sodium-rich deserts.[2] Tatooine had a strong presence in the Force, which led the Infinite Empire of the Rakata to the star system of Tatoo I. The collapse of their empire in 25,200 BBY caused the system to left alone for some millennia. The Galactic Republic explored the segment of the Slice in which Tatoo I was located during the Great Manifest Period and the Indecta Era. By 1004 BBY, the nearby region belonged to the New Sith Empire, including Hutt Space, a large region of the known galaxy controlled by the Hutt species. After the Seventh Battle of Ruusan in 1000 BBY the region remained in Hutt control until the reign of the Galactic Empire. During the Galactic Civil War the system changed hand several times: it's region was taken from the New Republic by the Empire during the Thrawn campaign, but was left after the Grand Admiral's death. Later the space around the Tatoo I was controlled by the Galactic Alliance, until the Sith–Imperial War 127–130 ABY, when the Fel Empire conquested much of the known galaxy, but was quickly replaced by Darth Krayt's Sith Empire.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
Tatoo I was created for Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, but technically it appeared first in the novelization of the film in December 1976, half a year before the premiere.
Although the famous binary sunset scenes both depicted the two suns as being of similar size, other sources show one sun significantly larger than the other. No explanation for this has been given.

No one should overlook the importance of making a will
A carefully drafted will ensures the financial security and well-being of your loved ones. It is a planning tool you can use to determine which people and organizations will benefit from your estate, who will handle distribution, and who is to be guardian and trustee for those you love.
Without a will, the government distributes your estate according to a legal formula. Taxes and administration costs can reduce the value of your estate, and the settlement may not reflect your wishes or the needs of your family and friends.
In drafting or revising your will, the needs of your family should be your primary responsibility. However, there may also be an amount that can be allocated from your estate for charitable purposes and allow you to perpetuate a lifetime of giving.
Unless otherwise directed by a donor, United Way Simcoe Muskoka places the largest portion of gifts received by bequest in its endowment fund — The Forever Fund. While gifts to United Way Simcoe Muskoka's annual campaign benefit our community today, your gift to The Forever Fund will ensure that United Way can introduce new programs and continue funding current ones to serve future generations of Simcoe Muskoka residents.
Gifts to The Forever Fund are invested and only the disbursement income is used to support essential social services throughout our community. A gift to The Forever Fund continues giving beyond your lifetime and ensures that your generosity benefits our community for generations to come.

We're here to help

Protective Films — Body Powder, Barrier Film, Incontinence Skin Protection
Protective film and powders are popular skin products often used as a preventative measure to protect the skin's integrity. Protective films and powders, when applied to the skin, will provide a barrier to protect the epidermis from moisture and friction. Skin irritation among patients is often the result of moisture due to incontinence. Because of the skin's exposure to urine or feces, it will quickly react and become irritated.
Incontinence moisture, and the combination of skin rubbing together, can often cause severe rashes, sores and the potential for infection. Vitality Medical offers a number of Protective Films and powders to help prevent such skin problems, both for individual use and within professional health care settings.
Common Uses for Protective Films and Powders:
- Placing Powder in Skin Folds to Reduce Friction
- To Powder Skin and Absorb Moisture
- Applying a Barrier Spray to Create a Layer on the Skin that Keeps Moisture and Friction from Creating Irritation
- Apply Spray or Powder to Protect the Perineum Area from Urine and Feces
- Use Spray to Protect Skin from Stripping Due to Dressing Tape or Adhesive Material Being Removed

Hey then--I'll stir up one..about those of us who ride our motorcycles to Mass :)
I actually got some NICE comments this morning :) And no one said anything about my "helmet hair" :)

Thanks be to God for quieting the hurricane and reducing the possible damage and death to the East Coast...that you for hearing our prayers.
Please pray for a parish member Bill--elderly gentleman who is in the hospital with not long to live...he helped me lots with my stained glass work. I will visit him tomorrow in the hospital. His lovely windows will forever grace our church.
SaraTerry--I do LITTLE stained glass projects...it is something that I enjoy doing and wish I had more time to do...Bill gave me a wonderful pattern for doing little stained glass angels...I donate a set each year for our annual silent auction at work...the money goes for our annual charity work. I took a couple of classes in doing beveled glass and etching glass, and designed some glass and mirror insets for my sis-in-laws bathroom cabinets...that was fun. My favorite thing I like doing is making little boxes to put items like rosaries in. I have a rose pattern I really like doing. This is somethignI like doing during long cold winters when I hate going outside.
So many hobbies..so little time..but I better be careful what I wish for..I sure dont' want to lose my job :)
Maria--prayers your way for your new job tomorrow!! Glad you were spared significant damage...the pictures I'm seeing on CNN are sobering...and I've ridden motorcycles all my life so they aren't scary to me... :) Although riding a motor scooter in Turkey was a trip...that was definitely taking your life in your hands :)

Mayor report into spiralling OS costs ordered
Filed: Thursday, 9th March 2017
By: Staff Writer
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has ordered an investigation into the spiralling costs of the Olympic Stadium.
Khan has instructed accountancy firm Moore Stephens - the former auditors of the LLDC - to prepare its findings by June, with a full public report examining the rising costs to follow later in the summer.
The cost of transforming the stadium into a venue fit to host Premier League football has risen to some £320 million - around £50million more than the initial estimated cost of £270million.
Additionally it costs the taxpayer around £3million to move the temporary seating, which is built on a network of scaffolding, every time the running track requires use.
However that fee will rise to £8million this summer due to the World Athletics Championships being staged in Stratford - meaning the seating must be removed (and subsequently replaced) far quicker than would normally be the case.
West Ham are currently one year into a 99-year lease of the Arena, which has been heavily criticised by United fans - many of whom have vowed not to return next season.
