The nation of Aglarond was created in 1065 DR when the half-elf army of Brindor Olósynne defeated the human army of Queen Indrila Demaz at the Battle of Ingdal's Arm. The half-elves negotiated for the creation of a new nation with Brindor as its king.[1][2]
Early historyEdit
Prior to the creation of Aglarond, the peninsula on which it lies was completely covered by a dense wood known as the Yuirwood, inhabited by the Yuir, a race of wild elves. During this time, drow and mountain troll attack and civil conflicts contributed to the decline of the Yuir, and with it, the decline of the Yuirwood.[1]
Although humans only sparsely inhabited the coastal areas of the region, the population of fisherfolk increased in 756 DR, leading to the founding of the settlements of Corth, Ingdal's Arm and Velprintalar. As more settlements were founded and the human population increased, they encroached onto the wooded territory of the Yuir elves, also home to a number of satyrs. The human population offered rewards to adventurers who could go into the Yuirwood and eliminate those hostile to the human expansion. By 880 DR, the outer Yuirwood had been cleared, and some time afterwards, humans had reached the interior of the wood.[1]
By this time, the Yuir elves were in drastic decline, with only a handful of villages remaining. They were diseased and suffering from the effects of the wars they were fighting. The humans offered to help in their battle against the drow and mountain trolls, eliminating much of the threat. Eventually the humans and Yuir elves produced offspring. This produced a race of half-elf descendants of the Yuir elves, who were proud of their heritage and elven traditions.[1]
The humans continued to push back the borders of the Yuirwood, expanding their settlements and farming the land. Eventually the half-elves began to object to this ongoing encroachment, but the humans did not listen to their protests. This drove the half-elves to attack the humans, driving them back to their coastal settlements.[1]
The culmination of the conflict occurred in 1065 DR when the half-elf army of Brindor Olósynne defeated the human army of Queen Indrila Demaz at the Battle of Ingdal's Arm. The half-elves negotiated for the creation of a new nation, Aglarond, with Brindor as its king.[3][2] Some humans elected to remain under the rule of the new half-elf monarchy. Others migrated to nearby Altumbel, while others still moved to the Fang, a rugged area.[3]
Reign of BrindorEdit
Under King Brindor Olósynne, Aglarond created its very own army. He was responsible for the construction of the fortress Emmech (later renamed Undumor) and the citadel Glarondar, as well as the Watchwall. Raiders from Thesk were successfully repelled using Emmech.[4] Brindor reigned until his death in 1128 DR.[5]
Reign of AlthonEdit
Althon Olósynne succeeded his father Brindor as King of Aglarond, taking the throne in 1128 DR. He vastly improved the security of the nation and repaired much of the damage done to the Yuirwood.[4] Althon, by then known as Althon "the Old", died in 1189 DR.[6]
Reign of ElthondEdit
Elthond Olósynne, Althon's eldest son, came to the throne in 1189 DR. He was killed at the hands of invaders from Thay in the Battle of Singing Sands in 1194 DR, just five years after his coronation.[4][6]
Reign of PhilaspurEdit
In 1194 DR, the crown passed to Althon's second son, Philaspur Olósynne. He reigned for just three years before being killed, again by Thayans, at the Battle of Brokenheads in 1197 DR.[4][6]
Reign of Thara and UlaeEdit
In 1197 DR, Philaspur's twin daughters, Thara and Ulae Olósynne, the Gray Sisters, assumed joint power in Aglarond, as Mage-Queens. Thara, the elder daughter, who was skilled in magic and diplomacy, married Elthar of Milvarune and formed a bond between Aglarond and Thesk. Ulae, the younger daughter, who was skilled as a military leader, married a forester: Ilion. Both sisters died within days of one another in 1257 DR.[4]
Reign of HalacarEdit
Halacar, son of Ulae, took the throne of Aglarond in 1257 DR, becoming the first full human to rule. In 1260 DR Halacar led a campaign into Thay against the Red Wizards. This was entirely catastrophic: the Aglarondan troops were forced into a retreat, although they managed to repel the oncoming Thayan tanar'ri. Halacar was poisoned by persons unknown and died in the same year. His death is widely believed to have been instigated by the Red Wizards.[4]
Reign of IlioneEdit
Ilione, a powerful spellcaster and Halacar's sister, took power in 1260 DR. During her reign she rebuilt Aglarond's military strength. She died of a plague that swept through the Inner Sea in 1320 DR.[4]
Reign of the SimbulEdit
Ilione had named a female apprentice known as "the Simbul" to be her successor. The Simbul quickly made a name for herself as an incredibly powerful sorcerer, with some reckoning her power to be on the same level as Elminster Aumar and Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun. The Simbul is one of the Seven Sisters, often leaving her homeland for extended periods of time.[4]

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Its name may be Regal Seafood, but the place might as well be Regal Peking Duck. This new Cantonese restaurant, owned by the same folks as E-Tao in the Galleria, specializes in Peking duck carved tableside, and it's a sight to behold. The golden, crispy-skinned duck is wheeled out on a custom-made cart. Protruding from the cart at an angle is a long metal rod holding the entire bird. A gloved waiter holding a butcher's knife meticulously carves rectangular pieces of the Peking duck skin onto a plate, which are served with house-made pancakes, hoisin sauce and chives. As you stuff the pancakes with duck, chives and sauce, each bite is an explosion of flavor — just amazing. But that's not all that makes this one helluva Peking duck. Regal will make you an entirely new dish for a small fee from the remaining meat on the carcass. Now that's a winner.
Head to this Heights kitchenette for not one, not two, but four drool-worthy skillets of macaroni and cheese. Each dish comes hot and bubbling with a crisp, buttery crust and molten, gooey core. Go au naturel with the classic American and aged cheddar skillet; dive head-first into one loaded with sweet and succulent lobster meat and herbs; or go for the gold with a sausage, bacon and chile-loaded affair to remember. An always changing mac of the day — which has been known to include everything from chili-cheese dogs and tater tots to smoked salmon and cream cheese — rounds out the fantastically cheesy quartet.
The Urban Harvest Farmers Market at Eastside Street is the place to be on Saturday mornings. From 8 a.m. to noon, numerous vendors set up stations to serve their specialty goods, be they fruits, vegetables, macarons, breads, cheese, coffee or olive oil. You can purchase groceries from local producers, such as Atkinson Farm, Airline Seafood, Tavola Pasta and Tejas Heritage Farm, or grab a few desserts and prepared foods from Sinfull Bakery, Shade and Canopy, and Revival Market. If you miss the market on Saturday, you can stop by on Sunday as well, but there are fewer vendors then.
My Food Park HTX opened in late 2013 and brought a cornucopia of food-truck cuisine to the west Houston Energy Corridor. With three and a half acres of land, there's always a place to sit and dig into your food — not many food-truck parks have such relaxing seating. The lineup of trucks changes each day, but you can always count on My Food Park HTX to have movie nights each Friday and Saturday, as well as other special themes throughout the week, including Hump Day Wednesdays and Magical Mondays. Pop a squat at a picnic table for an afternoon weekday lunch, or kick off your weekend with dinner and a movie. Stay late on Saturdays to munch on sweets from the likes of Zeapod Cakery and Sno Cone City HTX.
If you want killer frites with house-made roasted garlic aioli, a fantastic warm goat cheese and hazelnut salad, or classic boeuf bourguignon, get your butt to this French restaurant in Rice Village. Café Rabelais isn't open at all hours of the day, but when it is, these folks are dishing out incredible food in a quaint and rustic French country restaurant. Satisfy any midday hunger pangs with a braised pork shoulder sandwich with honey thyme sauce, pickled onions and carrots for less than $10, or stick to the daily selections of fish and quiche. The menu changes daily, but that's to ensure each dish uses the freshest ingredients. The vanilla ice cream profiteroles or a succulent poached pear are a great way to end a romantic evening.
Rebecca Masson, a.k.a. The Sugar Fairy, made a name for herself nationally as a competitor on Top Chef: Just Desserts in 2011, but she also has grabbed Houston's attention with exquisite treats from her custom bake shop, Fluff Bake Bar. Various coffee shops and markets in the city sell her unfrosted cakes, cookie sandwiches and French macarons in surprising flavors, such as Werther's Caramel. Her edgy style and adventurous palate help her create finger-licking-good sweets you most certainly want to pair with a glass of milk — or wine. Recently, Masson announced she will open a brick-and-mortar bakery in Midtown after a successful Kickstarter campaign, and along with her delicious cookies, cakes and brownies, she'll be serving wine and beer. Soon you'll have a central place to grab Masson's beautiful and flavorful desserts, rather than searching the city for one of those comforting Fluffernutters.

|Hitomi Kobai
|Otomo Izo,
Otomo Ryo
Otomo Kosha, became Hitomi Kobai after he was blessed by Hitomi, under the will of Kokujin was Kokujin Kobai, and after he "died" and lost his soul to a shamesword, the Blade of Slaughter. Part of his soul remained alive, and Kobai returned to life without taint, becoming again Hitomi Kobai.
Otomo family Edit
Kobai was born Otomo Kosha, the third son of a minor courtier in the Imperial Court. He had a very excitable personality, often spending time running in the gardens and fighting other boys in the castle. He was eventually chastised for his boyish tendencies and forced inside to study the ways of the court. Unfortunately, being the third son of the family, he had little to expect of life and quickly grew tired of the courts. [1]
Wanderings Edit
He told his family he would undertake a Musha Shugyo before accepting his post in the court and was allowed to wander. His family hoped a year stripped of Imperial privileges would cure his pugnacious nature. Kosha wandered the Phoenix and Lion lands before ending up in the Dragon lands in Shiro Mirumoto. It was at night as he was wandering the courtyard when the Dragon Clan Champion Hitomi appeared to him and spoke to the young man of a higher cause, helping to shape Rokugan's future and of power beyond imagination. He was tempted by her words and she led him to the newly christened Kyuden Hitomi and into the tattooing chambers. He exited the room as Hitomi Kobai. [1]
Service to the Lady Edit
Kobai became the voice of the Lady Hitomi outside of the Dragon Clan lands. Although the Kitsuki family continued their duties as the ambassadors of the clan, Hitomi would often send Kobai as her reliable messenger. [2]
Kokujin Edit
In 1129, Hitomi sought to use the advice of Kokujin to balance the corruption in her from the Obsidian Hand. Kobai spoke up against the murderer joining the Dragon Clan, but Hitomi ignored his warnings. [3]
"He will destroy us all, my Lady."
Agasha Defection Edit
Mirumoto Bujun informed Hitomi that the Agasha family was leaving the Dragon lands. They had taken everything from their homes, and their libraries were bare. The Agasha Daimyo, Agasha Tamori, was one of the few who remained loyal to the Dragon. Hitomi did not allow Bujun to chase the traitors with a legion after she pondered the situation with Kokujin. [4]
Imperial Court Edit
After the Naga began to attack the Dragon Clan in the Siege of Sleeping Mountain in 1132, Kobai was sent to the Imperial Court to offer the Imperial Regent Takuan rice in exchange for the aid of the Imperial Legions. Drawing upon his old family training, Kobai quickly outmaneuvered his older brothers in court, Otomo Izo and Otomo Ryo, who failed to recognize their younger brother, which pleased Kobai. [2] [5] Kobai returned to Kyuden Hitomi and confirmed his Lady the Imperial Legions would attack the Naga. Hitomi knew her battle was no longer in the Mortal Realm, but she would not leave her fellows in their final hour. [6]
Reputation as Hitoden Edit
After completing his duty, he felt reaffirmed of his decision and became even more fanatical in his devotion to the Lady Hitomi, even going so far as to assault other Dragon members who spoke ill of the Lady. This garnered him a reputation as a bully and a brute to most others, [2] and was called Hitoden. [7] [8]
Hunting Kokujin Edit
At this point Kobai had a severe hatred of the madman Hitomi Kokujin, even going so far as to personally keep an eye on the rogue monk's movements. [2] Kobai needed a master to be guided, and after Hitomi ascended Kobai was empty. He threw himself into the hunt for Kokujin because Kobai hoped the madman might destroy him. [8]
Race to Volturnum Edit
After Kokujin's betrayal and ascension of Hitomi in 1132, Kobai sought to end the shame of Kokujin's existance once and for all. When he was part of the march to Volturnum in 1133 Kobai saw how Kokujin wielding the Togashi's Daisho was part of the Shadowlands army led by Akuma no Oni. The creatures blocked their way, but a group of nezumi had found a way through the oni lines, to proceed the race toward the troll city. Kobai had another goal and with the permision of Togashi Hoshi, turned to hunt and kill Kokujin. [9] Hitomi spoke from the Heavens to Hitomi Kagetora, who chose his six most trusted warriors Hitomi Reju, Hitomi Akuai, Hitomi Kobai, Hitomi Bujun, Hitomi Pukku, and Hitomi Kazaq. They were forced by Lady Moon to remain behind, not to join their brethren at Volturnum. In the Battle of Oblivion's Gate the Hitomi sacrificed themselves to gain the battle against the Shadow. They thrown their bodies against the Goju, and they combined their tattoo magic in an explosive, suicidal display. [10]
After the Battle of Oblivion's Gate Edit
With many of the Hitomi family dead or becoming tainted at the Battle of Oblivion's Gate in 1133, Kobai sought out the aid of Togashi Mitsu, but Mitsu refused to take part in a petty quest for vengeance. [3]
"We need your help, Mitsu. There are too few kikage zumi after the Battle of Oblivion's Gate. Too few by far. We need you to help us hunt Kokujin."
Kokujin Kobai Edit
Kobai did not relent in his quest however, and was eventually captured and turned by Kokujin, becoming Kokujin Kobai. Kobai led the tattooed bakemono that were sent by Kokujin to capture the seven Dragon samurai who answered Kokujin's Challenge in 1159. [3]
"I am Kobai, Kokujin Kobai. Greetings, Satsu, son of Hoshi. My master welcomes you to his home."
Despite an early surge from the seven Dragon, Kobai's forces won when six shugenja collapsed the pass on the Dragon. Tamori Chieko, Hitomi Hogai and Togashi Satsu were captured initially, and taken to Kokujin who was waiting in the ruins of Shiro Heichi. Hitomi Akuai was later captured and sent there also. [11]
"Just as we were once reborn in the service of the Lady, now I have been reborn in the service of Kokujin."
Kobai and the remaining bakemono and dark ise zumi began searching the rubble for the three remaining survivors. The bakemono initially found a severely wounded Hoshi Wayan, and requested to be allowed to eat the monk's heart. At this point Togashi Matsuo and Mirumoto Rosanjin attacked, defeating the bakemono and dark monks. Kobai was shot in the throat by Rosanjin, apparently killed, and Wayan was rescued. [11]
Return Edit
Kobai returned not long after during Togashi Mitsu, Togashi Matsuo and Kaelung's assault on Kokujin's lair, his death merely a ruse. Kobai was knocked unconcious by Hitomi Hogai after the large kikage zumi was freed by Matsuo. Kobai recovered in time to see his master Kokujin surrounded by the Dragon. Kobai made his way to his masters side, but was killed by Kokujin on the Anvil of Despair to allow the First Oni to break free from it's prison beneath the ruins of Shiro Heichi. [12]
"Never assume the enemy is dead. Until you have devoured their heart."
Shamesword Edit
Kobai's sacrifice on the Anvil of Despair created the Blade of Slaughter. Through the intervention of Lady Moon Kobai's soul was not sealed within the blade entirely. Kobai still lived possibly as a result of Hitomi's blessing and the magic of the mountains where he died, the Twilight Mountains. The part of Kobai's soul trapped within the blade was the Tainted part. [13]
Captured by Bloodspeakers Edit
He was disoriented and was easily captured by the Bloodspeakers Migawari and Hida Horii, Iuchiban's followers. He was tortured by the duo in the mountains he had died and rebirth. They were trying to find the location of Kokujin's Shameswords. He became utterly insane in the process, but managed to retrieve his sanity in time to be rescued in 1166 by Mirumoto Narumi and Kuni Yaruko, who had mistaken him for Mitsu. The two were surprised to find that Kobai had lost his Taint and now had a way of detecting Shameswords. [8]
Return and Redemption Edit
Kobai sought redemption within the Dragon Clan by tracking down the blade, taking the Hitomi name once again becoming Hitomi Kobai. Every time the blade was used Kobai broke out in bouts of rage. Although the location of the blade was unknown to the Dragon Clan, Kobai gained a sense of where it was every time it was used. [13]
Tattoos Edit
Kobai was known to have the Crescent moon tattoo, given to him by Kokujin. [12]

After the scrimmage (Day 3 of the Institute) I used rapid prototyping at a staff meeting. And what I saw for the the first time was 100% intellectual and emotional engagement for the entire meeting.
Every conversation with a fellow was like meeting a long lost friend who challenged my ideas while making them better. I started a new job just two weeks after my Institute and I credit much of that to StartingBloc.Bhavna Devani | Mobile + Wearables

A man has reportedly been found dead in a "sex swing".
The 53-year-old man's body was discovered at a house in Hove, Sussex.
Police found the body in a harness surrounded by a number of gas cylinders containing unknown substances, according to the Eastbourne Herald.
The man's body was reportedly discovered by his son and neighbours in the surrounding area were briefly evacuated as a precaution.
South East Coast Ambulance Service's hazardous area response team attended the scene, but it was soon determined there was no threat to public safety, according to the Eastbourne Herald.
A spokesman for the Sussex Police told Metro: "Police are not treating the death as suspicious and the coroner has been informed."
A sex swing is described as a type of harness or sling designed for people to have sex while one person is suspended.

Everyone makes mistakes. But when doctors, nurses, therapists, or dentists make them, the effects can last a lifetime. Patients have a right to expect that medical procedures will be properly performed. Medical malpractice attorneys represent you if you are injured by a healthcare provider's careless or accidental mistakes. For example, if a doctor leaves behind gauze in your body during surgery, resulting in an infected wound that requires even more surgery, the doctor committed medical malpractice. Medical malpractice attorneys can recognize injuries caused by mistakes; they know the most common mistakes that cause injuries, and they know how to find and present information useful to prove your case. Medical malpractice attorneys also know how much insurance is available if the health care provider is responsible for what happened to you.

Yes, we may reach the 50s this weekend, but following the Groundhog's forecast Super Bowl Sunday, the weather pattern turns very active over the eastern U.S. Early to mid- February is often D.C.'s snowiest time of the year. Could 2014 follow suit?
There are three windows for winter weather next week. Let's examine each, briefly:
Sunday night into Monday
After a cold front puts an end to our weekend thaw Sunday night, cold air trickles south and east. At the same time, a wave of low pressure may develop along this front causing rain showers to potentially change to snow. The new European model simulates a thump of accumulating snow early Monday morning to around midday. The GFS model shows lighter precipitation, warmer temperatures, and substantially less snow potential.
This could be anything from a non-event to moderate event – but, until we can pin down the exact track of the storm, it's going to be difficult to give specifics on snowfall amounts, if any. The forecast for this event has the potential to be high drama and difficult. Events in which rain is forecast to transition to snow are often disappointing for snow levels. But if everything came together right, several inches could materialize. Stay tuned.
Tuesday night into Wednesday
I'll hand off to CWG's winter weather expert Wes Junker to describe this possibly messy winter weather event:
A stronger system and wetter system is expected to impact the area on Wednesday. Most models track the storm to our west putting us on the warm side of the storm. However, they also hold a cold high pressure system across New England as the low track towards northward towards the Ohio Valley. That raises the possibility of the storm starting as a period of snow, sleet and/or freezing rain before transitioning to rain across most of the area. While the pattern favors the storm tracking to our north, it's still a storm worth watching closely as there is some potential for accumulating snow and ice prior to the expected changeover. Plus cold air during damming events sometimes holds on longer than expected especially to the north and west of the city.
Friday into the weekend
Following Wednesday's storm, cooler air will stream into the area Thursday – setting the stage for a possible weekend winter storm, that you may have heard a lot of hype about on Facebook. No, there's little chance of a blizzard and 20-30 inches of snow, but some snow and/or mixed precipitation is certainly possible as low pressure likely develops in the Gulf of Mexico and heads northeastward. Wes chimes in with his thoughts on the models:
Last night's operational European model really jumped on the idea of a major coastal low and winter storm. This morning's GFS liked a storm but also suggested that the storm might start as snow, and end as a mix. The ensembles [suite of model simulations] provide a strong signal a storm will be somewhere near us during the Friday through Sunday time range but it is way too early to make any statements about precipitation type as the ensemble members from the GFS are almost equally divided between taking the storm to our north or to our south (the track we need for a major snowstorm). Right now all you can say about the storm is there is a pretty good chance of precipitation occurring sometime in the Friday-Sunday period. Rain, snow or a mix are all still on the table.
The latest (just out, shown below) European model shows an impressive snowstorm.
Storm trackers know 8 days is an eternity in terms of predictions. Expect model flip-flopping and a prolonged period of prognostication pontificating from us pundits.
It's going to be a fun but stressful week ahead….

In political terms, headlines are everything – and most major media are leading with the drop in the unemployment rate.
Look more closely, though, and the picture is murkier. According to the separate payroll survey undertaken by the BLS, just 114,000 new jobs were added in September. At least 125,000 are needed per month just to keep up with population growth. Yet August's job number was revised upward to 142,000, and July's to 181,000.
In other words, we're still crawling out of the deep crater we fell into in 2008 and 2009. The percent of the working-age population now working or actively looking for work is higher than it was, but still near a 30-year low.

Romney says we're not doing well enough, and he's right. But the prescriptions he's offering – more tax cuts for the rich and for big companies – won't do anything except enlarge the budget deficit. And the cuts he proposes in public investments like education and infrastructure, and safety nets like Medicare and Medicaid, will take money out of the pockets of people who not only desperately need it but whose spending is necessary to keep the tepid recovery going.
Romney promises if elected the economy will create 12 million new jobs in his first term. If we were back in a normal economy, that number wouldn't be hard to reach. Bill Clinton presided over an economy that generated 22 million new jobs in eight years – and that was more than a decade ago when the economy and working-age population were smaller than now.
Both Obama and Romney assume the recovery will continue, even at a slow pace, and that we'll be back to normal at some point. But I'm not at all sure. "Normal" is what got us into this mess in the first place. The concentration of income and wealth at the top has robbed the vast middle class of the purchasing power it needs to generate a full recovery – something that was masked by borrowing against rising home values, but can no longer be denied. Unless or until this structural problem is dealt with, we won't be back to normal.
Robert B. Reich, chancellor's professor of public policy at UC Berkeley, was secretary of labor in the Clinton administration. Time magazine named him one of the 10 most effective Cabinet secretaries of the last century. He has written 13 books, including the best-sellers "Aftershock" and "The Work of Nations." His latest, "Beyond Outrage," is now out in paperback. He is also a founding editor of The American Prospect magazine and chairman of Common Cause.

(The Hosting News) – Popular BitTorrent file sharing site the Pirate Bay may have just landed its way to staying afloat as law enforcement continues to tamper down on pro-piracy efforts. On Sunday, the site signaled in a blog post that it would consider using unmanned server drones.
"One of the technical things we always optimise is where to put our front machines. They are the ones that redirect your traffic to a secret location. We have now decided to try to build something extraordinary," stated the Pirate Bay.
The Pirate Bay said the move would involve using "modern radio transmitters" capable of receiving more than "100Mbps per node up to 50km away." Meanwhile, the file sharing site also addressed the possibility that authorities could take down the drones, a prospect the Pirate Bay said would be "a real act of war."
The announcement comes around the same time as three key people were sentenced for their involvement with the BitTorrent site following convictions that occurred in 2009. Swedish businessman Carl Lundström, a key financial backer of the operation will serve four months for his involvement while Pirate Bay founders Fredrink Neij and Peter Sunde will both serve less than one year.
In 2012, authorities worldwide have already moved quickly against online piracy. Popular Hong Kong-based file sharing site Megaupload was closed in January following domain seizures by the U.S. Justice Department.
The concept of server drones is quite interesting, although not exactly new. In August of last year, tech researchers Mike Tassey and Richard Perkins unveiled an unmanned drone capable of sniffing wireless networks and launching DDoS attacks at the Black Hat security conference.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PULL-UPS® Night*Time for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
PULL-UPS® Night*Time Glow in the Dark Training Pants has recently added nighttime protection so that you can have daytime training pants as well as nighttime training pants! They come in 3T or 4T and fit kids from 18-40 lbs. I love the range in size here, you can get these to fit just about any toddler/young child!
They have Cinderella for the girls and Lightning McQueen for the boys and look very appealing for kids. The best part is that they also glow in the dark! How fun is that? They work by charging them up under a bright light for 30 seconds and then turning off the lights.
I know from experience that having a bedtime routine is critical when having kids. It's important that they have a set routine at a set time and that way everyone knows what is expected of them at all times. Our bedtime routine is to give Noah a 15 minute heads up so he knows bedtime is coming. We ask him to stop what he's doing and start to get ready for bed. One of us will watch him brush his teeth, and get into the shower. He puts on his pjs and then grabs a book to read for a few minutes before bed. He'll read out loud to us for a few minutes and then we'll tell him it's time for bed! Thankfully he is quick to fall asleep and has never resisted bed time! You can visit the PULL-UPS® Night*Time Glow in the Dark website to learn how they can help with your bedtime routine!

Difference between Agave and Honey
Difference between Agave and Honey
Agave and honey are common sweeteners considered more beneficial as compare to sugar. Honey is marginally wealthier in crabs and calories, and has higher amount of Glycemic index. Then again, agave has higher amount of fructose content, which is awful for health.
Agave nectar, likewise called agave syrup, a sweetener got from Agave sap, is utilized as a contrasting option to sugar in cooking, and can be used in breakfast cereals.
Honey is sweet nourishment made by honey bees searching nectar from plants and flowers. Honey bees change over nectar into pure honey by a procedure of disgorging and dissipation as they store it as an essential sustenance source in wax honeycombs inside the apiary.
Agave VS Honey
In this article we are going to discuss the contrasts that exist between agave and honey so that you can get clear concept about these sweeteners.
- Source:
Agave originates from the liquid within blue agave plant. This is a similar plant that is utilized to make tequila.
Honey originates from honey bees. These bustling little creepy crawlies create nectar by gathering the nectar of plants.
- Sugar content:
Agave contains a much higher amount of Fructose that is 55-90 percent but less amount of glucose. It contains 1 g of sugar as per 100 g.
Honey contains glucose and fructose (monosaccharide, adding up around 93% of sugars); Maltose, Sucrose, Kojibiose, Isomaltose, Turanose, and Maltulose (disaccharides, accumulating around 7% sugars). It contains 82.12g of sugar as per 100g.
- Glycemic index:
The amount of glycemix index in agave is around 10 to 19.
The amount of glycemix index in honey is 58, somewhat lesser than sugar since sugar in honey have marginally more fructose as compare to glucose. Fructose has lesser GI.
- Nutrition:
One teaspoon containing agave holds 5 grams of carbohydrates. Agave contains little measures of calcium which is 72 mg or 12%, 0 grams of fats, 0 grams of protein, 0.42 mg of iron which is almost 3, 1 mg of vitamin C, 4 mg of sodium and almost 2 grams of dietary fiber.
One teaspoon holding honey contains almost 6 grams of carbohydrates. Honey contains little measures of vitamins and minerals, including niacin, riboflavin, thiamin and vitamin B6. It can likewise help assimilation. The amount of protein in honey is 0.3 grams which is as per 100 grams, 6 mg of calcium, 4 mg of sodium, 0.5 mg f vitamin C, 0.2 grams of dietary fibers. It contains same amount of iron as agave contains but honey contains no amount of fat.
- Pros and cons:
Agave contains lesser amount of glycemic amount as compare to sugar, more amount of fructose as compare to high fructose in corn syrup, can prompt to insulin resistance.
There are larger amount of vitamin, minerals is there n honey so it helps in sore throat, digestion and many more.
- Processing:
Agave is processed before its consumption.
Honey is not or less processed before its consumption. Natural honey is more effective as compare to processed honey.
From the above article we can conclude that honey is better than agave because it is less processed and less amount of fructose and also have other health pros.

Earthstone Energy has re-commenced completion operations last week on the WCNU #126. The #126 well, which was previously unproductive in the lower Mirando Sand, was acid stimulated a week ago to enhance fluid production.
Testing will commence this week to determine if the stimulation improved the well's productive capacity from this lower zone. While the WCNU #126 is being tested, the other two wells, the WCNU #124 and WCNU #125, remain partially completed and shut-in; awaiting the results of the #126.
The Company previously reported that it drilled three new wells in late March and early April of this year in the West Cole North Unit (the North Unit), located in Webb County, Texas. The North Unit currently generates approximately 10% of the Company's oil production and revenue. Earthstone is the Operator and has a 96% working interest in the North Unit.

Mario ends up on a small cliff overlooking a clearing. He looks down and notices a familiar enemy: Mr. L. Mario is confused as to how Mr. L is even there, as Luigi is watching this too. Mr. L brings out his troops, who the team realizes are simply evil versions of Mario, Wario, and Waluigi. Mario jumps down, and the group introduces themselves with style. They are the Negative Squad, and they say they are the ones who wrecked Toad Town. Mr. L, who happens to be the leader, sends Mr. M to take care of Mario. During the battle, though, none of them can hurt each other. Eventually Mario must run away, and the team goes on through Moonview Woods.
Moonview Woods is overrun with Crazee Dayzees and Hyper Goombas. It also seems that the Negative Squad forced some Koopas into their service, as many Negative Koopas roam the area. Eventually, Mario reaches the Underground Lab, but he finds the only way in is either through a very low passage which none of the team can go through or via the main door with a keycard lock. He tries to search for the keycard, but comes up empty handed. Mario attempts to go back, and winds up in Moonview City. There, Mario meets up with Wario again, and they battle once more. The plumber defeats his arch-nemesis, and is about to leave when Mona comes along and gets outraged that Mario laid a beating to Wario. She nearly attacks Mario when she notices that Wario has gone missing. Mona asks Mario what he's doing there, and he tells her of his predicament. Mona offers her help and joins the team, able to use her Crawl ability to get through low places. With her help, Mario returns to Moonview Woods, and he approaches the Underground Labs. Mona crawls under the low passage and finds a circuit breaker connected to the keycard scanner on the door, and reprograms it to disable the lock. The door opens, and Mario approaches to see what lies within...
Right upon entering the Underground Labs, Mario sees a huge swarm of Laser Guys flocking to the exit. It seems that the Negative Squad had locked it from the inside as well. Mario continues through the Testing Area, where fallen Laser Guys who suffered the Negative Squad's wrath flooded the area. After going through many traps and puzzles, Mario finds a dead end with a lone switch. He pulls it, and it seems nothing has happened. But then he finds that a huge swarm of Laser Guys, brainwashed by the Negative Squad, were just then activated, and the crowd surrounds Mario, giving him no escape. He is narrowly rescued by a Laser Guy survivor of the Squad's mass enslavement named Lazey. He joins Mario's partner party, able to use his long range laser attacks to hit switches and reflect off mirrors. If Mario hits a laser, he briefly has a laser aura around him, speeding him up and hitting any normally unusable switches. Soon, Mario meets up with Mr. M once more, and they have a serious battle. Mario emerges the victor, and goes deeper into the Underground Labs.
He goes into the Executive Area, where a group of prisoners are being held. Guarding the area is none other than Mr. W, who patrols the section along with his troupe of Negative Koopas. In order to free the prisoners from the cell, he has to find four keys while avoiding detection from the guards. Mario learns their route and manages to avoid being found. He sets free all the Laser Guys and Koopas and begins to lead the huge escape charge. However, just as he is about to exit, Mr. W comes and stops the rebellion. Mario steps forward to challenge his arch nemesis' alter-ego, and defeats him just as he did to Wario. Mr. W flees with all his Negative Koopas, and continues on while all the captives escape to freedom.
The next area is the Manufacturing Area, the place where all the research and designs by the Testing Area are put into reality. In order to get through, Mario must hit a series of switches to rotate the mirrors to hit a solar panel to open a door. Using Lazey's laser ability and Mona's electric powers, Mario is able to configure the mirrors to the long path heading for the door. He proceeds to the main section of the area, where conveyor belts and other factory stuff abound. Mario just manages to make it through the maze of moving floors and rising platforms, when Mr. Upside Down L shows up and prepares a battle with Mario. The plumber defeats the dark Waluigi, and goes into the final area, the Command Area.
Here, Mario finds something cruel: the brainwashed servants are forced to battle against each other to find defects. At once, the Negative Koopas and Laser Guys attack him, but Mario sweeps them aside. Mario makes a disguise like a Koopa and takes one's gear, and heads into the arena, storming aside all of the Negative Squad's henchmen. After these battles, Mario searches for the head office, and comes face to face with the mastermind: Mr. L.
After a bit of mocking, Mr. L charges at Mario, but the Green Thunder is beaten just like the rest of his squad. Mr. L runs to the arena, with Mario in hot pursuit. The crowd cheers as Mr. L enters. He taunts Mario some more, and pulls out a control for his "ultimate weapon": his master computer system called the LES. He commands LES to attack Mario, and the whole crowd goes in a huge uproar over Mario's imminent defeat. Mario gets his game face on and challenges the computer. Though LES is armed with an infinite artificial intelligence and a huge weapons array, Mario defeats Mr. L's last trick. Mr. L swears revenge and nearly bolts out, but after LES' defeat, all of his servants came back to their senses and block Mr. L's passage. He bumps into the crowd and a strange yellow shard drops to the ground. Mario picks it up, and asks what it is. (Actually, his partner asks what it is.) Mr. L tells him of the Element Star, an ancient mystical object that brings ultimate power to the beholder. It was long ago split into five pieces, the Electric Piece, the Fire Piece, the Ice Piece, the Earth Piece and the Iron Piece. But just as fast as Mario obtained the Electric Piece, Mr. M comes in and swipes it. He and Mr. L leave in an instant, leaving Mario confused. The Laser Guys congratulate Mario for freeing them, and the chapter ends.
A scene comes to Bowser's Castle, where Peach is still being held. Bowser barges in and steals Peach's brooch. He opens it up, and out comes a red shard: the Fire Piece. He hands her back the brooch, and hands it to the person who just entered: Mr. W. Mr. W laughs and storms out of the room and Bowser says he'll keep Peach just for the fun of it. Bowser leaves in a hurry, and Peach sighs and looks outward, calling for Mario.
Another monologue comes, saying:
"I recalled our first exile. We had a member of the clan so power-hungry that he attempted to conquer the entire world, threatening to use his bizarre powers obtained through a chemical accident. We sent him out into another dimension, using a trickery of his own powers. He swore that he would have this world destroyed one day.
"We can only fear he will have his revenge soon."
The scene goes to the main square of Moonview City, where all of its residents and the freed Laser Guys are thanking Mario for his outstanding work. Then an older professor comes and tells Mario that he must collect the other fragments of the Element Star before the Negative Squad does. He says that the Negative Squad already has the Iron Piece, but he knows for sure that the Ice Piece is at Mt. Frostbite. He also mentions that the Negative Squad said something about collecting the Fire Piece at Bowser's Castle. Mario remembers that Peach was kidnapped, and leaves in a hurry for Toad Town.
When Mario takes one of the ways to Toad Town (Two blue pipes appear, one from Moonview City and one from the Underground Labs.), he finds the place fixed up, but strangely deserted. He goes up north, and notices a strange happening. Small pieces of pure white are appearing everywhere more and more frequently as he goes on. It is also occurring to the sides and in the sky. He finds where all the Toads have gone, to a spot where almost everything is white with spots of reality. They are all gathered by a single Toad who went too far and is simply an outline of black and white. Nobody knows what it is exactly, but they are sure it is growing at a steady pace. Mario asks one how to get to Bowser's Castle, and he says it is south of Toad Town, on the Lava Sea. The passage leads to Gray Bluffs, and soon enough Mario will be able to see Bowser's Castle. Mario heads south to rescue Peach and get the Fire Piece, and prepares for his imminent battle with his ultimate rival: Bowser.

Gram Weenie
Pignology, LLC
- April 22, 2014
( 12)
Gram Weenie is a tool to track and calculate your Full Skin Out weight for your backpacking gear. The main screen is your master list of gear and you can create trip lists to customize and calculate your gear weight for each trip.
I'm always open to feature requests or bug reports. Please visit http://pignology.net and email me with any requests or complaints and I'll do my best to take care of the issue.
Thank you,
I'm always open to feature requests or bug reports. Please visit http://pignology.net and email me with any requests or complaints and I'll do my best to take care of the issue.
Thank you,
Force close issue I think this is an excellent app to keep track of my gear and to help with planning a hike, but there are still a few bugs to work out. Notably, a force close occurs when any one item is added to a trip list more than once. Also, it would be much more convenient if the user could select more than one item at a time to submit to the trip list. I hope a new update will come out to fix these issues.
Suggestions Great App, I love it! Only thing I wish you could do would be able to rearrange the order of items in your gear list. For example; In my cook category it would be nice when I add new pots to place them all together instead of any newly added item stuck at the bottom of each list. Otherwise app is very handy.
Could be good, but buggy Can add gear, but crashes when trying to add items to trip lists. Useless until fixed. Unfortunately, by the time I added all my gear and found this out, I couldn't get a refund.
Crashes constantly on Marshmallow Great app for professional sports, I use it to calculate my equip load for mountain stages, but the scrolling bugs out and the app crashes/force closes constantly. :(
This app works well. Wish the trip weights excluded worn weight. Also, I tried switching from grams to ounces, but it didn't convert all the weights I had already put in... & I'm too lazy to re weigh everything lol.
Thanks! The import and export function makes this app more accessible!
What's New
Fixed bug that caused crash in Trip Lists when an item didn't have a weight assigned to it.
Added the ability to export/import from/to Android devices. This is not an online data synch, it's a manual movement of the database between devices.

Utrecht is a fast developing city. In fact, a new neighborhood is currently being built so as to provide additional housing for some 85,000 people. But its economy depends on many other sectors such as industry and many companies and institutions which have been set up there over the years.

These host thousands of local and foreign students every year.
Labor market
Like most major Dutch cities, Utrecht is gradually recovering from the global economic crisis effects. However, its unemployment rate still remains very high, that is around 11.6%. The labor force, meanwhile, amounts to some 4.7%, according European Union statistics. However, expats in Utrecht can still be hired in various sectors, particularly in the fields of information and communication technology, engineering, education and research, customer service, etc.

It has always been my purpose when dealing with fellow professionals that 1+1 never equals 2, if it doesn't equal 5 or more than I have failed. I have never failed, because I never quit.

How do you turn an idea into a thing? The artistic process can vary in so many ways, but in the case of conceptual art, the work of art is often composed of the idea and processes themselves. Matt Keegan looks into the process of fabrication, the distinctiveness of a work of art and how these works interact with one another. For his show at Andrea Rosen Gallery 2, Matt Keegan presents sculptural and photographic work, in conversation with Anne Truitt's Landfall sculpture from 1970 and creates hanging steel sculptures by folding sheets paper in half and half again, cutting various shapes out with scissors, and a steel sculpture is then fabricated in the exact same shape as the cut out paper to eventually be seamlessly powder coated and placed over white carved sheetrock, which plates the walls of the gallery.
The mechanical fabrication, and the application of powder coating on the sculptures, give the illusion that the objects always were. The form is simultaneously random, (the artist gives it up to chance to decide on the shape of the paper cut out,) straight out of his subconscious, but controlled, as it is mechanically produced (the scissors, then the machine that makes it into steel) and inherently reproducible. It is simultaneously one of a kind and one of many. Just like origami, which follows a template, when you make your own you still feel like you've "created" something. Same goes for the the Japanese obi, which Matt Keegan's sculptures remind me of. The folding of the fabric must follow a certain pattern, but there are many variables, which culturally and historically function as symbols.
With these allusions to fabric and folding, and to the intricate weaves of a piece of fabric, the repetition of shapes accumulate into a whole (in this case, the whole is represented by Anne Truitt's sculpture, placed in the center of the room.) These patterns are universal, whether on micro or macro scales. They exist within the denim that we are wearing, in our social structures, in the pulp of a sheet of paper, the feathers of a peacock; patterns and their variables are what make up our world. With keeping his forms within the liminal space between idea and object Matt Keegan is exposing the guts of the private artistic process to the public. This show itself serves as a template of the systematic process of art making.

Girling Aluminum Master Cylinder with Small Reservoir
Girling Master Cylinder Repair Kit
AN316 Thin Jam Nut (Non-Locking Check Nut)
MS21042 Jetnut, All Metal Locknut
AN960 Flat Washer (100 pack)
"Subject: Service quality. You guys are sooooooo much better than the competition! Thanks." J.W. from California
This extension allows greater fluid volume without requiring a large-diameter reservoir. The taller column of fluid is also less likely to introduce air into the system under extreme cornering and braking. Fits the Girling Master Cylinder with Small Reservoir (Part No. 3500-Size) with 1 3/4" threads. Translucent plastic construction makes it easy to check the fluid level. The threaded base ring is metal to engage the threads on the Girling cylinder. Measures 2 1/4" from the top of the Girling reservoir to the top of the cap on the extension.
Revised design now features a flange that fits into the reservoir casting. The base seal is now positively retained, and the extension is packaged with the seal installed properly. (Older extensions were packaged with the seal above the flange for shipping.)
