First, I didn't intentionally rip you off, Andy.
I've seen sculpted boxes and furniture, and they always intrigued me. I made the base of this box from curly maple, the top from bloodwood and wenge. The open grain of the wenge was filled with multiple coats of shellac. The final finish is Deft spray semi-gloss lacquer rubbed out with 0000 steel wool and paste wax.
I intended to build it with wooden hinges, but I got ahead of myself and forgot until it was too late. Hence the drop-in top with African blackwood knob. The size is 9×6 x 3 7/8.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks for all your kind comments. I could tell you the box was made from a magic tree and the top floats when it has the mind to, but. . . it's just an optical illusion. The top is resting on far corner of the base. Kinda cool, huh? -- Dana, Tallahassee, FL |

Tallahassee is a wasteland. :-) I get most of my wood on eBay, as well as from other online sellers. Woodcraft has stores in Jacksonville and Orlando. If you're in the Orlando area, go to Amazon Exotic Hardwoods in Casselberry. It's only about two miles from Woodcraft. Good luck. -- Dana, Tallahassee, FL |

On Friday, December 9th 2016, a multimedia event for the general public titled "Synthetic biology: bioreality and biofiction" took place at the Faculty of Social Sciences in Ljubljana in the scope of the EU 7th Framework programme "SYNENERGENE: Responsible Research and Innovation in Synthetic Biology" project.

A Year in Review: Our Top Health IT Innovation Stories from 2016
2016 was a major year for healthcare innovation. From cross state big data collaborations to the recent passing of the 21st Century Cures Act, here are a few of our top healthcare innovation stories from the past year:
- Healthcare is Having an Ernest Hemingway Moment – From virtual reality to cloud-based systems, healthcare organizations are looking to continue progressing innovation forward. Tom Sullivan of Healthcare IT News explores how health systems across the country are using emerging technologies to encourage patient engagement.
- "Big Data Spokes" Tackle Population Health with IoT, Informatics – Following a $10 million grant from the National Science Foundation, four academic institutions across the nation will work together to better utilize big data analytics. Jennifer Bresnick of HealthIT Analytics shares how this collaboration will improve data sharing, help develop best practices and open new opportunities for data-driven public health.
- CMS releases MACRA final rule: 10 things to know – Nearly 2,400 pages in length, the final MACRA rule aims to reduce the administrative burden on physicians so they can focus on care improvement and the transition to VBC. Emily Rappleye of Becker's Hospital Review highlights the top 10 things to know about the new rule.
- ICD-10 turns 1: Was it so bad? – As of October, ICD-10 codes reached their first birthday and, surprisingly, the transition turned out to be better than expected. Meg Bryant of Healthcare Dive looks at how the implementation fared over the past year.
- $6.3 Billion Measure Aims to Cure Ailing Health Care Policies – In a rare bipartisan vote, the long awaited 21st Century Cures Act was officially signed into law. Jennifer Steinhauer and Sabrina Tavernise of The New York Times explore how the boost in federal funding for research efforts in cancer and other diseases will also support health IT efforts across the country.
With robots entering the healthcare space, a new administration and the continued prospect for new medical advances in the health IT community, we are helping ensure that our customers are ready for this changing landscape. If you want to learn more about how MedeAnalytics can help your organization excel in the new year, check out our solutions page.
Understanding the Political Healthcare Climate
The healthcare industry is abuzz with speculation about its future under the Trump administration and Republican-controlled Congress. While nothing is truly certain, let us help you understand healthcare policy intricacies that are sure to change the face of healthcare as we know it today.
Paul Ryan's Healthcare Reform Proposal
Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress vow to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. In the absence of any details from Trump, we can look to a proposal released by Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan titled "A Better Way". Here's a synopsis of the 37-page proposal:
- Maintains the idea that everyone in the U.S. should have health insurance
- Includes tax credits to help people pay for insurance
- Protects those with existing illnesses and medical conditions from losing coverage
- Maintains that a market approach could reduce healthcare costs and improve efficiency
- Includes tax-free health savings accounts to help pay for deductibles and keep premiums down for young, healthy people
- Limits tax breaks for employer-based insurance to encourage cheaper, high deductible policies
- Offers high risk pools for people difficult to insure, like those with chronic illnesses
While dubbed "Obamacare light" by some, Ryan's plan changes a key feature of Obamacare that spreads the cost of insurance across generations, with healthy and young people subsidizing older and sicker people who typically require more care. Ryan's plan enables younger people to start saving for major health problems over time through health savings plans that would be partly funded by the government. Read the proposal.
Looking to Improve Coding Documentation? Ardent Health Services Explains How
Despite a smoother than expected ICD-10 transition, accurate coding documentation still plays a critical role in ensuring financial success. By 2020, fee-for-value reimbursement is projected to represent 83 percent of revenue – up from 43 percent today.
Adrienne Younger, RN, CCDS, Manager of CDI education at Ardent Health Services recently connected with Kelly Gooch of Becker's Hospital Review to discuss how Ardent achieved coding and documentation success by changing their coding culture, leveraging their own data and collaborating as a unified health system. Here's a recap of the top takeaways from the discussion:
- Coders need to feel connected, vested and understand their new role in VBC – Adrienne underscores that "value-based care takes on a quality aspect that we've never really paid attention to or focused on." She notes that it is important for healthcare leadership to educate coders and empower them with the necessary resources to understand the differences in fee-for-service and value-based care. Coders are no longer here just to code a record; they need to lookout for patient outcomes.
- Sometimes the best resources are right in front of you – For Ardent, one of the most valuable resources they were able to tap were their own records. Using MedeAnalytics Revenue Integrity, they could analyze their own data and find new insights under ICD-10. "Industry modules and resources are great, but what really makes the impact is when you use your own work to teach yourself," explains Adrienne.
- Collaborate as a total health system – At the end of the day, everyone has the same goal: to improve patient care. In addition to having coders feel vested and connected to the clinical side, it is important that the entire health system works as a team. At Ardent, CDI worked with the quality team and attended case management meetings to understand how they can partner with each other. It's these collaborations and relationships amongst everybody that help the entire hospital run as one team.
A Year in Review: Top Analytics Stories of 2016

UPDATE 3-In split from SocGen, TCW's fortunes seen set to rise
By Greg Roumeliotis and Jessica Toonkel and Jennifer Ablan
NAIROBI, March 17 The governor of Kenya's central bank Patrick Njoroge should be investigated in connection with a multi-million-dollar scam at a youth employment programme, a parliamentary committee said.
Billions of shillings in public funds were stolen from the National Youth Service (NYS) in one of the biggest blots on President Uhuru Kenyatta's government. The scam, uncovered in 2015, could weigh on Kenyatta's re-election bid in the August 8 election.
The so-called NYS scam cost one cabinet minister her job and dozens of government officials and business operators have been charged with crimes relating to the scandal.
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said in a report issued on Thursday that detectives and the ethics commission should establish if Njoroge should be charged with abuse of office for failing to inform the government about "abnormal payments" requests.
Parliament will discuss the committee's report and decide whether to adopt or reject it. Adoption will make it official. Lawmakers might also vote to amend the contents of the report.
The central bank did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Njoroge, who was appointed in June 2015, is widely viewed as a trustworthy senior official. He shunned some perks of his post, including a fleet of vehicles and a mansion in the leafy part of the capital, when he was appointed. (Reporting by Duncan Miriri; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

Product Highlights
Spanning a versatile and long-reaching focal length range, the Canon EF-mount SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 from Tamron is a 4x zoom covering telephoto to super telephoto perspectives. Complementing the long reach is an optimized optical design that features three low dispersion (LD) glass elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range. eBAND and BBAR coatings have also been applied to reduce ghosting and flare when working in strong, backlit lighting conditions.
Beyond its optical attributes, the G2 version of this lens also incorporates a FLEX ZOOM LOCK mechanism to permit locking the zoom position at any focal length position to prevent accidental zoom extension. Conventional zoom lock is also featured to prevent barrel extension during transport. Suiting handheld shooting situations, Vibration Compensation (VC) is a 4.5-stop-effective image stabilization mechanism that helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake for sharper results when working with slower shutter speeds. A ring-type Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) autofocus motor delivers notably quick and accurate focusing performance to suit working with fast-moving subjects, and full-time manual focus is also supported for fine-tuned control. Benefitting its use outdoors, the lens also features a moisture-resistant construction along with a fluorine-coated front element to guard against dirt, dust, moisture, and smudging from affecting image quality. The ergonomic and durable metal construction of the lens also incorporates textured focus and zoom rings, and a removable, rotating tripod collar with an Arca-type compatible foot is supplied to better enable shooting from tripods and monopods.

Shintaro Sakamoto
View in iTunesTo preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
The former leader of Japanese psych rockers Yura Yura Teikoku, Shintaro Sakamoto struck out on his own in 2010 almost immediately after the group disbanded. Inspired by breezy '70s pop from around the world, ranging from bossa nova to folk-rock to sounds popular in his homeland, Sakamoto began recording a set of songs almost completely by himself -- except for female backing vocals, percussion, and woodwinds. The results, How to Live with a Phantom, were released in 2012. Early in 2014, Sakamoto collaborated with Mayer Hawthorne on a split single for that year's Record Store Day. Let's Dance Raw, which incorporated slack key guitar, Latin percussion, vocal effects, and more, arrived that September. In 2016, a version of the song "Disco Is" featuring vocals by Synsuke Ono preceded Sakamoto's third album, Love If Possible. The album was released in Japan that July and received a wider release in 2017. ~ Heather Phares

"It feels fabulous. Not because it was against Roosevelt, but anytime you're put in this situation and come from that many down to win the game, that's something special. I thought we put in the best effort of the season."
Chris Schwartz
"Roosevelt could be very cold."
Jon Meacham
"I figured that first year would be swell. We'd do Roosevelt and Churchill, a couple of things like that, and that would be it,"
Peter Graves
"Roosevelt plays an up-tempo -- I call it helter-skelter -- kind of game, and they try to pull you into it. If they get you into it, you're in trouble. They play a bumping and pushing style, and if it's not called, your kids try to do it, too. It worked (for them) tonight."
John Augustavo
"Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it."
Theodore Roosevelt
"This was a gift from the ex-president Teddy Roosevelt."
Keith Greene
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
"A mature person is one who is does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably"
Eleanor Roosevelt
"Never allow a person to tell you no who doesn't have the power to say yes."
"She has a nice voice, but she looks a little bit too much like Eleanor Roosevelt."
Lawrence Welk

Stvr doesn't have to work during the day because of his night job in the truck stop bathroom. He gets paid for the bjs, but he's famous for finishing up with a good taint and ball licking after he swallows. Free of charge. He pays people to fist his ass and loves licking his poop of a random cock.

This was a quick, but very interesting and (dare I say it?!) realistic story. Any self-respecting criminal justice major knows that the number of violent crimes reaches its peak during the hot summer months. And any lay person knows that they're unquestionably and irrationally more cranky and prone to anger during the summer; it's just too hot to be able to think clearly and calmly. William Fryer Harvey takes advantage of this little nuance, and adds an aura of supernatural intervention, to get the adrenaline going.
A young artist named James Clarence Withencroft finds himself, after an afternoon devoted to sketching, drawing an image of an obsese gentleman just after a court trial, with an expression "not so much one of horror as of utter, absolute collapse". It's plain to surmise that this figure just suffered a loss in court, presumably to a serious charge. Upon going for a short walk, James finds himself outside a monumental mason's shop, and lets himself in to investigate what brought his feet to this shop of their own accord. Who does the mason happen to be, but the spitting image of his sketch! What's more, this mason, Atkinson, was just finishing up a headstone for a convention of gravestones (kinda creepy in its own right). Guess whose name and birthday are on that stone. SURPRISE! James Clarence Withencroft. And it appears that the date of death happens to be that next day. They plan for James to spend the night, to prevent any kind of accident occurring on the way back to his house that would cut his life short. But the heat is stifling, and there's no telling what it might do to the rationale and intellect of an otherwise sane man...
I like this story. While most of the horror of it is left up to the reader's imagination (just what happens when the story ends?), it successfully creates an air of tension and anticipation throughout the pages. I almost expected a climax where the conclusion happened to be. Very well done, and what's great is that while this story involves rather extreme and violent potential behavior, this idea of heat causing something bad to happen is more real than a lot of people would like to believe. Don't believe me? Go check some crime reports. I'm off to read some more short stories :)

I enjoyed your summary of the short story, and your analysis. I agree that most of the horror of the story is left up to the reader's imagination.
Incidentally, I'm doing a "short film" adaptation of August Heat. If you get a chance, I would be humbled if you can check out the website and maybe pass it along to anyone you know who may be interested. Thanks!

Orange juice rusks not only have a refreshing citrus flavour, they are also ideal for people with lactose-intolerance when made with dairy free margarine.
Koffiekoekies (coffee biscuits), with it's coffee-fudge filling, was Marietjie's father's ultimate favourite biscuit. Indeed, these biscuits are regarded as a bit of a luxury in South Africa because they are delicious, and also because it's hard work to make them. But the result is such a delightful mixture of textures and flavours, that it's well worth the effort.
This is one square meal in a rusk - and it is a health rusk (gesondheidsbeskuit) too, because it is high in fibre and packed with healthy seeds and nuts. It's a flexible recipe, so you can easily change the recipe. See the notes below the recipe for some ideas.
These dainty, chocolate filled shortbread barrels are simply delicious. They are ideal as a special treat over the Christmas season, a gift for friends, or when you need to take-a-plate. The bonus is that they are also very easy to make.
Malva pudding is the ultimate winter dessert. It is rich and syrupy, with a soft spongy texture. Comfort food at its best.
This favourite Cape classic, which goes under at least four names, is one South Africa's best-known traditional recipes. With good reason too: it is simply divine.
You don't rely need a recipe to make curry mince for your vetkoek; all you need is onion, your favourite spices and minced meat. You can add anything from garlic and raisins to Worcester sauce and frozen veggies. This recipe is based on the mince sauce used in our bobotie recipe.
When you ran out of bread in the house and don't have time to bake any, try this quick vetkoek recipe. Vetkoek is essentially deep fried buns that can be eaten with anything from apricot jam to curry mince. It is somewhat similar to Dutch "oliebollen", the main diference being that oliebollen are sweet and contains raisins. Traditional vetkoek is made from yeast bread dough, but this quick and easy vetkoek recipe use baking powder as the raising agent.
South Africans know them as gingerbread men, but in New Zealand these delightful ginger persons tend to be genderless. Helping you to bake and decorate them is guaranteed to keep your kids busy for a long time.
Marietjie's grandmother (who lived in the Namakwaland in South Africa), made the most delicious "skuinskoek". Skuinskoek means "diagonal cakes", probably because of the peculiar diamond form one need to cut them out. They are on their best when they are warm and fresh, but Marietjie's grandmother often made skuinskoek for "padkos": food for the road back home after a visit. She stored them in a washed fabric flour bag, which kept them for a day or two, but a modern cake tin or Tupperware container is also fine. This is not the original recipe, but a variant that is based on Marietjie's mosbolletjie rusks, using Surebake yeast and a bread maker.
Both Marietjie's mother and grandmother were known for their delicious ginger nuts. They are made from a soft dough, rolled into little balls, resulting in gemmerkoekies that are soft and chewy on the inside and crispy outside.
This stew, loosely based on Berber tagine, is perfect when you have guests over for lunch on Sunday, especially in the winter. You can prepare it the night before, leave it overnight to marinade, and pop it into the oven on Sunday morning, before going to church. The result is a hearty stew that reminds of South African potjiekos, but has a distinct Moroccan flavour.
The menu for Easter Sunday ought to be just as festive as a Christmas menu, and this traditional custard cake is just the thing for afternoon tea on Easter Sunday: not too rich, but delicious.
A basic recipe for vanilla cake. It is the perfect cake to turn into something special such as a birthday cake, for instance, or even a custard cake for Easter.
This is a family recipe for a luxurious cake that has a lovely moist texture, achieved by using lots of eggs. While the original recipe is by far the best tasting, but you can reduce the oil and sugar a wee bit.
Soweto Chicken is a heart-warming chicken casserole dish that is spicy, and you can make it as hot or mild as you prefer. The original recipe came from Soweto in Johannesburg and was published in Peter Veldsman's excellent cookbook, "Kos van die Eeu" (Food of the Century). New Zealanders love this adapted version of Soweto chicken:
This recipe for South African plaatkoekies is from Scottish origin. "Plaatkoekies" litteraly means "little cakes baked on the griddle". It should not be confused with pannekoek (pancake). Plaatkoekies are quick and easy to make and taste great. It can be served with coffee or as a light meal. They are about 7 cm in diameter each. Plaatkoekies they are very similar to New Zealands iconic pikelets, the main difference being that pikelets are larger and made from a somewhat thicker batter.
A delicious fudge with a smooth, crystal-free texture. It is relatively easy to make and won't flop, providing you're careful and take your time.
Chocolate hot cross buns, which are less spicy than normal hot cross buns, are popular in New Zealand. Although spice-free buns may be ideal for children that do not like spices and fruit, their flavour can be improved by adding just enough spice to compliment the chocolate, and this recipe does just that. This recipe uses a bread maker.
Mosbolletjies is the king of beskuit (rusks). It is sweetened, leavened yeast buns, delicately flavoured with anise seed, then baked, broken into pieces, and dried. Mosbolletjies is not common in New Zealand though, because it is a time-consuming affair to make rusks with yeast, but also because "mos" (grape must) is not readily available in supermarkets. Through trail and error, Marietjie developed an easy recipe that is very close to Mosbolletjies, using Surebake yeast and a bread maker.

NEW YORK — Prefabricated houses don't have to be ticky-tacky.
Contemporary prefab homes now possess all the flair and durability of traditional housing. Computerized designs and innovative materials are behind this architectural revolution, replacing cookie-cutter forms and flimsy materials from prefab's heyday after World War II.
That's the message of "Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling," an engrossing survey of the prefab movement that continues through Oct. 20 at the Museum of Modern Art.
Visitors can stroll through five model homes built outside the museum to experience major architectural advances in prefabrication. Distinctive profiles, open floor plans, energy efficiency and off-the-shelf components are shared objectives.
Built in a black-topped lot next to the museum, the model homes form a kind of urban village in the heart of Manhattan.
Cellophane House is a five-story, steel-frame town house from Philadelphia. Burst 008 is an Australian beachhouse of laser-cut plywood. Micro compact home was designed and built in Britain and Germany, with all the comforts of home in just 76 square feet of living space. System 3 is a modular home prototype from Austria in the shape of shipping containers. The fifth model is a digitally fabricated, one-room shotgun house designed for flood-ravaged New Orleans.
An accompanying exhibit inside MoMA traces the history of prefab housing dating to 1833, when H. Manning of London began selling portable colonial cottages for emigrants to Australia, boasting that the homes could be assembled in a day.
Scale models, photos and architectural sketches range over the prefab work of modernist innovators like Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius and Jean Prouve in Europe and Thomas Edison, Frank Lloyd Wright and R. Buckminster Fuller in the United States.
It includes a two-bedroom Lustron house of porcelain-enameled steel, one of 2,500 produced in the United States (1948-50); photos of World War II-era Quonset huts; a model of Fuller's Dymaxion Dwelling Machine (1944-46); sketches of Wright's American System-Built Houses for the Richards Co. (1911-17); and an illustration of Edison's single-pour concrete buildings (1906-1919).
Other highlights: Le Corbusier's path-breaking Maison Dom-ino construction sketch (1914), photos of the Gropius-designed Copper Houses exported to Palestine in the early 1930s, and Prouve's models of prefab houses from the early 1950s, a trove assembled by curator Barry Bergdoll.
Pioneers of prefab shared the notion that dwellings assembled on-site from mass-produced factory components could overcome housing shortages from world wars and urban expansion. But the reality was often alienating: rows of look-alike homes in suburban tracts and grim apartment blocks in cities.
Architects specializing in prefab now use "mass customization" of basic designs developed with sophisticated software programs. Prefab homes can be modified with input from customers to match their individual needs, according to the exhibition catalog.
The most elaborate and striking of the five prefab homes, Cellophane House's structural steel frame, nearly 50 feet high, mirrors the surrounding skyline. The glass-walled building rises from a street-level garage to rooftop patio with a solar-panel canopy.
Photovoltaic cells integrated into the plastic membrane in the walls and roof materials gather energy during the day and channel it to a set of batteries in a mechanical room. Water that is heated by the solar panels flows through a convection loop to a holding tank.
A double-wall system, transparent on three sides of the house, anticipates internal climate needs and, using built-in dampers and fans, eliminates unwanted heat gains and losses, according to designers Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake of Philadelphia.
Two bathrooms and bedrooms, a spacious kitchen-dining area, laundry room and a balcony totaling 1,880 square feet of living space spreads over four floors, each measuring 20 feet by 28 feet. The anticipated cost is $300,000 and up, according to architects.

Credit Amnesty – What does it mean for you?
The credit information amnesty implemented on 1 April 2014, has left many South African consumers confused about what the credit amnesty means for them.
Going on holiday is exciting. However, visiting new places and spending quality time with family and friends abroad can be costly. Often, we tend to spend a little more than we intend when we go on holiday because we may never return to the destination. Below we have revealed 6 debt solutions to avoid post-holiday debt.
Planning your holiday in advance can actually save you money. Often, booking travel arrangements will be cheaper if you make reservations months in advance. Booking closer to the time you want to depart for holiday can be more expensive because it is more likely that other holiday makers will be making use of the same arrangements which causes prices to increase.
You should consider the following:
Always set up and stick to a holiday budget. Don't overspend or purchase items which you cannot afford. Imagine that you are back at home. Ask yourself if you would purchase the same item if you were not on holiday. You will notice that most of the time you will feel the urge to purchase items just because you are on holiday and not because you need it.
Using credit can lead to you having major financial problems when you return from your holiday. It's very easy to splurge when we on holiday as you are in a festive and relaxed mood. Using debt to make purchases whilst on holiday will only leave you paying more once you return. If you have overspent your budget, avoid using credit at all costs as you will not have money to pay off your credit card debt.
By opening a savings account, you will earn interest on the savings which can help towards your holiday costs. Make sure that you do not use this money for other luxuries and remain disciplined.
Try and settle any outstanding accounts balances that you may have for example store accounts and personal loans. You would not want to end up in a situation where you spent all your money on holiday and do not have enough to repay your monthly debt repayments when you return.

This text is part of:
a Confederate had vanished.
And if a primary election could have been held, or there had been an initiative and referendum, Fitz Lee would have been chosen the commanding general for the Spanish War. As it was, he was made major-general of volunteers, and commanded the 7th Corps, which was made up of regiments from North and South, and East and West, and Blue and Gray (our friend, William Jennings Bryan at the head of one of them)—all of whom, 'in mutual, well-beseeming ranks, marched proudly all one way to the music of the Union, under the old flag, and Fitz Lee, whose fame as a fighter surpassed that of any other general in the army.'
Applications poured in upon him from all parts of the country for places upon his staff.
One of them, I have heard, came from the then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt, who thought General Fitz would certainly be where the fighting would be fiercest and most glory would be won.
President McKinley had promised General Fitz if Havana was attacked he should lead the forces, but the politicians feared if such a chance was given him that the presidency would follow in the wake of the glory he would gain as the hero of the war, and he was side-tracked in Florida.
Shafter was chosen for the chief command because it was thought perhaps he would probably be even less formidable in peace than in war.
The scene shifted to Santiago, which became the chief seat of war. Mr. Roosevelt, we remark in passing, with that quick penetration for which he is so noted, foresaw the plans of the politicians, and sought glory with the Rough Riders from the ranches of the West.
If these same politicians had known all (esse et posse) that there was in that young man, they would have switched him off long before he ever reached the famous hill of San Juan.
As it was, he only got there, as a smart paragrapher told us at the time, by swimming his horse from Key West to Cuba, with his sword in his mouth.
What followed you all know.
What remains to be administered (de bonis non) of the spoils of that Spanish War is known only to Him, who understandest man's thoughts afar off.
I fear I am too fond of episode for an occasion like this, where

Hygienists in the dental field are professionals who remove debris from patients' teeth and teach them how to care for their oral cavities. These people must have solid manual dexterity and be detail-oriented in addition to possessing strong communication skills. Dental hygienist prerequisites include completing two years to four years of training beyond high school and mastering a variety of oral-care classes. In addition, a person who is interested in entering this field has to gain practical experience working with patients and must be prepared to earn a license to practice in this role.
Dental hygienist prerequisites first include completing a two-year associate degree or four-year bachelor's degree program in this field. Enrollment in one of these types of programs requires a person to submit his or her high school diploma or the equivalent certification as well as turn in his or her high school transcript. The individual also must fill out his or her desired school's admission form in addition to turning in scores from standardized tests. Schools additionally might demand that the aspiring student complete observations at dental offices, write a personal statement, and take prerequisite courses such as anatomy and psychology.
Courses that cover how to care for the mouth will prepare a person to succeed in this industry. For instance, classes teach students how to take oral radiographs used to detect problems such as tooth decay, as well as how to remove soft and hard deposits from teeth using instruments. Mastering methods for educating patients on oral healthcare is another item on the list of dental hygienist prerequisites, as this is a chief responsibility of a professional in this field.
College training programs usually require students to gain hands-on field experience. Schools feature clinics in which students can practice conducting oral cancer screenings and polish teeth to remove stains. In addition, dental hygienist prerequisites include learning how to create charts that highlight the health of a person's gums. Hands-on experience demonstrates to dentists that an individual can handle the physical demands of this healthcare job and thus increases his or her chances of becoming employed.
Dental hygienists in some regions must become licensed before they can practice. Licensure involves taking and passing both a written and clinical examination. These are dental hygienist prerequisites that prove to future employers that a professional is well-versed on the requirements of this career area and possesses both written and practical skills. Completing continuing education courses is necessary to keep a license in this industry current as well.

Though it is not an actually prerequisite for a dental hygienist program, I think that good bedside is a must for people in this field. Many dental patients are terrified, and are comforted when a staff member with understanding and compassion is working on their teeth. |
Heavanet Post 1 |
My brother completed a dental hygienist program and is now practicing in the field. He said that one of the most important things that a student in this program can do is to make the most of the hand-on experience that he or she gets while taking classes. Though all of the required courses are important, the in-office clinical coursework is vital because it closely resembles what it will be like to actually work as a hygienist. |

Wednesday, April 13, 2011
Oh April, I just finished saying such nice things about you last week.
As March went away I'd hoped that April would be better, weather-wise.
I was very, very wrong.
Due to the deluge during the entire month of March baseball and softball teams have been desperate to schedule games.
I have completely lost track of who's supposed to be playing whom where and when after March.
So we get to April and things should improve, right? Wrong.
On Tuesday the HRV and Milwaukie softball teams started out the first few minutes of their game under clear skies. Then it got windy. Then cloudy. Then rainy. And then it started snowing.
Umpire Joe Wampler gathered the coaches together as snow flurries swirled around the players on the field. Determined to get in a full game, the teams played on.
Once the game became official after the top of the fifth, Wampler gathered the coaches again. Again, they decided to keep playing.
With puddles on the infield, the skies growing ever darker in the background, players trying desperately to keep their hands from freezing and a snow drift mounting near the pitchers circle - only kidding about that last part, but just barely - they played on.
That is how desperate teams have become to play an actual game at this point in the season.
Last year when the Eagles were in the Mt. Hood Conference, the Portland-based schools would switch the game location for games earlier in the season and bring their team to Hood River to beat an approaching storm.
Sometimes it worked, and other times the team drove an hour for no reason.
There has not been much driving and turning around for non-league games this season - mainly because the weather has been so bad there has been no point to even starting the bus.
That has made things incredibly tough for teams like the Eagles. While the Eagles are still scrambling for non-league games, many schools are already in league season.
The nightmare scenario that so many were expecting during the basketball season has come to pass - a few months later.
The Eagles are trying to find games wherever they can. The Milwaukie game was not on the softball team's original schedule and neither was a game Monday for the HRV baseball team against Union of Vancouver.
However, at this point, when your teams can barely manage to get on the field you take whatever you can get.
So the Eagles played on through snow, sleet, rain and hail Wednesday afternoon, and in this wet and wild spring season, that's just going to have to be the way things go.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

Jailed Polygamist Sect Leader Jeffs Hospitalized In Texas
GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Department of Criminal Justice says polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs has been hospitalized.
Department spokesman Robert Hurst says Jeffs is in stable condition Monday at a Galveston hospital. Hurst says Jeffs was admitted March 11 for treatment of a condition that's not life-threatening.
Hurst declined to say why the 58-year-old Jeffs was hospitalized or to release any additional details.
Jeffs is the ecclesiastical head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was convicted in August 2011 and sentenced to life in prison for sexually assaulting two of his child brides. Prosecutors said Jeffs had two dozen underage wives in all.

Nature Mill indoor composter
This composter looks nice and very fast. It does consume 10 watts of power but it looks really convenient. I suppose it could be run off of solar power though. In the video they talk about lowering greenhouse gas emissions. This wouldn't do that. When plant matter breaks down in compost or in the woods, doesn't matter, it releases the same amount of water vapor and carbon dioxide ultimately. Just the speed in which it happens changes.
But, it is convenient and it saves loads of garbage going to the dump therefore saves in fuel costs for the garbage trucks and prevents greenhouse gases from that aspect.
It also replenishes the soil. Think of it this way. We humans are like machines. We grow enough food to "almost" feed all 6.5 billion of us. In doing so, we suck out all the nutrients from the soil as it is stored in the food. We eat the food and then it ends up in the sewer and then to a processing plant. So, most of it never gets back to the soil where it belongs. We are effectively pumping billions of pounds a day of nutrients from the soil and putting it elsewhere. That is really bad. We are methodically stripping just the nutrients from the soil and it is slowly rendering our food void of any value except to make us feel full. In other words, we as a species are slowly killing ourselves because we find composting toilets distasteful. Hmmmm, maybe we should rethink our positions.
5 comments:
actually the aerobic decomposition does produce carbon dioxide, but when the organic matter decomposes anaerobically (such as in a landfill) it instead produces methane gas more abundantly; from a greenhouse gas perspective, methane has been found to contribute to atmospheric warming 25 times greater than carbon dioxide.

This is the sequel to a game I have never heard of, and something I probably would have continued to never hear of without a review code coming my way. The options upon loading it up show me it has been designed for VR, and may be going after the new audience I'm not a part of yet, opposed to a standard PC release.
However i'm quite pleased it did come my way, as it's definitley my kind of thing. This is a game built around the final escape from Venom in Lylat Wars, or the Captain Falcon escape mission in the amazing F-Zero GX. There must be other examples not from Nintendo but I can't think of any and fuck you Nintendo for not following up on GX you wanks.
Each level is a tunnel which is slowly exploding and closing around you in which you have to fly a speedy ship through to escape in time before you crash into a wall or you explode because of reasons. It's not really explained why you have to fly into and escape these tunnels of death, but it doesn't really matter. Some missions are timed, some involve you having to shoot things (this happens automatically and feels a bit lame/pointless) or having to collect various stuff or coins or other bollocks. The coins are used for upgrades to your ship, or to buy new ships. It's all a bit superfluous other than extending your boost. There's a fun risk/reward game to play with the boost, as the longer you use it the more your ship overheats eventually leading to blowing yourself up if you're not careful. Keeping optimum speed without killing yourself adds some nice tension and keeps things interesting as you make your way through the levels.
It's all very throwaway, and the three stars you can earn on each level coupled with the upgrade system and coins made me think this must be a mobile port on PC. Lo and behold, the original game was on mobile and unfortunatley this PC only release shares all the trappings of a mobile game, but thankfully there are no microtransactions to speak of.
The Collider 2 is a fun distraction (it's very pretty too) if you like speeding through exploding tunnels/spaceships and it's good to pick up and play if you only have a few minutes. It's not gong to change the world and its mobile heretiage does let it down somewhat. With all the extra gumph to make you feel your continously making progress as all games in the world seem to now believe we need, it takes away from the core concept of simple speed and skill.
Strip all the powerups, coins and upgrades out and just give me a challenge with tests of pure speed and adreniline and I'd be into this more than I was. It's alright, fun, and may be a wild ride in VR, but sadly it's nothing more than a throwaway distraction. You'll be entertained, but looking for something else to play in not too long.

Bachot Muna jazzes up 2017 with his soulful new single 'A Muto 'The Woman'' |
Written by urbandubz |
Monday, 13 March 2017 04:44 |
On his new single 'A Muto,' Cameroonian Jazz impressario Bachot Muna brings soulful, sexy vibes to heat up your snow-filled February in a sumptuous mix of Afro Soul and Latin Jazz. Bachot's music is like nothing else in the charts at the moment and acts as an irresistibly catchy soundtrack to life's
more enjoyable moments.
This song does not contain the autotune and computer-engineered sounds which are so common in modern music. Bachot uses real instruments to provide his unique sound and demonstrate his immense talent. This talent has seen him work with some of the most decorated professionals in the
music industry, such as 13-time Grammy Winner Mike Makowski and legendary trombonist Eduard Akulin.
'A Muto' is the lead track from Bachot's latest and fifth album 'Back To The Roots.' The four albums which preceded 'Back To The Roots' saw Bachot master his craft, passing through Abidjan, Brussels and Montréal, while teaching himself to be his own sound engineer, in order to allow the world to
hear his unique, vibrant sound. However, these travels have not been limited to music production. Bachot gave an acclaimed performance at the 2013 Montréal International Jazz Festival. Bachot is no stranger to critical acclaim, having won awards everywhere from Cameroon to LA over his storied
'A Muto' is available on iTunes right now

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After the worse presidential record in U.S. history, are there still people who think of Obama as the "Messiah," as his sycophantic worshipers did during his first presidential campaign?[/vc_column_text][banner300 banner="5517620b381df"][vc_column_text]
Well, apparently at least one — President Sociopath himself.
Friday afternoon, the Obama Regime posted the following self-aggrandizing tweet from the official White House Twitter account, showing a rainbow seemingly shooting out of "The One's" extended arm, as if he, not the real God, created rainbows.
Of course, the rainbow tweet wouldn't be complete with out 2008 "Hope and Change" idiotic rhetoric attached. "With hard work and hope, change is always within our reach," says Obama, who has golfed a reported 219 times since entering the presidency.
"With hard work and hope, change is always within our reach." —President Obama: http://t.co/yWMlWPbgCfpic.twitter.com/Ild69Rokxa
— The White House (@WhiteHouse) April 10, 2015
It brings back disturbing memories of useful idiots and dupes at Obama rallies in 2008, shouting "Yes we can!"
