The National Park Service (NPS) has started a planning process to adapt the parking and visitor access facilities at the Ken Patrick Visitor Center at Drakes Beach in Point Reyes National Seashore to accommodate potential impacts of sea level rise. The first step in the planning process for these projects was to initiate public scoping. The purpose of public scoping is to elicit early public comment on issues and areas of concern related to the projects, including identifying environmental impacts, a suitable range of alternatives, and appropriate mitigating measures.
The Ken Patrick Visitor Center at Drakes Beach was constructed in 1965, and the parking lot expanded at that time to accommodate 410 vehicles. More than 300,000 people per year visit this area of the park, with heavier use in the summer and during operation of the Point Reyes Headlands Transit Program. Project planning will evaluate alternatives which maintain the current parking service level.
The footprint of the parking area is greater than five acres and impinges on coastal shoreline and coastal marsh habitat. The parking lot is used seasonally as the parking area for the Point Reyes Headlands Transit Program. Parking demand exceeds the existing space on fewer than 10 days per year. The parking lot elevation ranges from 3.7 to 4.3 meters (12 to 14 feet) NGVD1988 (approximately 2 meters (6 feet) above predicted high tides) and is regularly flooded in the winter due to inadequate drainage. Wave erosion on the southwest corner of the lot has required regular maintenance and installation of riprap to protect this vulnerable area. In 2009, the California Coastal Conservancy adopted planning standards which state that projects should anticipate Sea Level Rise of 40 cm (16 inches) by 2050 and 1.4 meters (55 inches) by 2100.
The Seashore intends to evaluate alternatives to adapt the footprint, elevation, and operation of the parking area to the anticipated changes in sea level in the coming decades. Alternatives may consider reduction in footprint of the parking area and increase in the elevation of the facility. The Seashore will consider Low Impact Design of curbs and paving to improve stormwater management methods on site. The Seashore will consider methods to maintain the current parking capacity, including development of satellite overflow parking areas and operation of a local shuttle to accommodate heavy use days.
As noted above, the NPS will undertake an environmental analysis to address issues and alternatives for the project. It is likely that an Environmental Assessment will be necessary. Interested individuals, organizations, and agencies are invited to provide comments or suggestions. Written comments regarding the Adapting Drakes Beach Visitor Access Facilities to Accommodate Anticipated Coastal Change to Improve Natural Coastal Process Project must have been postmarked no later than October 5, 2009 to the following address:
or via FAX to (415) 663-8132, or by email.
The environmental document for this project is expected to be available for public review in the summer of 2010.

The vestibular system is a part of the inner ear that helps to control balance. If your inner ear is damaged by disease or injury, you may benefit from vestibular rehabilitation. Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise based therapy program used to treat balance and dizziness disorders. It is based on the body's natural ability to compensate for balance problems through optimizing the brain's connection from your inner ear; eyes and body.
A therapist will evaluate each patient and perform tests in order to develop an individualized treatment plan which may include:
The Vestibular Rehabilitation Program offers treatments for a wide variety of conditions that result in balance problems and dizziness.
Some of these include:
Morgan Kriz has a Doctorate of Physical Therapy that specializes in Balance and Vestibular Rehabilitation. Morgan does have a strong background in Orthopedic Physical Therapy and this provides a foundation for general musculoskeletal conditions that may contribute to balance limitations.
Her focus as a provider is for patients to feel empowered with management of their condition and learn strategies to live a functional life so they can participate in the things they love. The human body is a magnificent. Each body system has a distinguished function however all systems are interdependent with one another. Morgan tries her best to educate patients so they may be proactive in their healthcare and strives to communicate well with other providers to give efficient and quality care through a multidisciplinary approach.
Vestibular Rehabilitation is an exercise based therapy program used to treat balance and dizziness disorders. It is based on the body's natural ability to compensate for balance problems through optimizing the brain's connection from your inner ear; eyes and body. Morgan uses evidence based guidelines when creating a patient's individualized plan of care for Vestibular Rehabilitation. Morgan believes getting the most out of life is to make it fun/play games and tries to incorporate this into her rehabilitation programs so the brain retains the information for long-term management.
In her career as a Physical Therapist, she has worked with patients in several different clinical settings including high-level military service persons with her experience at the San Diego Naval Medical Hospital Comprehensive Combat and Complex Casualty Care (C5); acute vestibular impairments, post-surgical and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo "BPPV" management in a hospital-based setting; the geriatric population and concerns for balance is a consistent population in all her practice settings over the years; athletes that have sustained a concussion in sport or have had a vestibular insult as well as the day-to-day individuals just trying to live life after an injury, surgery, accident or want to focus on improving their quality of life for preventative purposes.
Morgan moved to Seattle, WA in 2014 from San Diego, CA. Outside of work Morgan enjoys adventures with her dog "Asher," backcountry skiing, swimming, watching movies and playing soccer.

text: Gid 46 Posted November 26, 2009 There's been a lot of talk lately about this Lusty Laz bint slaggin Lynz off for seeing her husband Duffy behind her back and I just wanted to tell the truth. 1) Duffy told Lynz he had left his wife and it was over. 2) Duffy never let on that LustyLaz was pregnant. 3) Lynz actually met Duffy's parents so why would she think he was still with his wife? (odd family if you ask me) 4) Duffy told Lynz he wasn't living with or sleeping with his wife anymore. When Lynz found out Laz was pregnant she immediately sent the lying scumbag packing. How do I know Lynz didn't know about Laz still being with Duffy or that Laz was pregnant? I am Lynz's brother after all and am bound to believe what she says. Well the fact is I heard it all straight from the horses mouth. I never believed Duffy's lies from the start and told Lynz not to go near him. One night he had phoned Lynz and she mentioned that I didn't believe he had ended things with Laz. So he asked to speak to me. The lying wanker then proceeded to give it the "honest Gid Im no like that"..... "My marriage is over" ...."I wouldn't do that to Lynz" etc. patter but I wasn't buying it. Lynz knows she made a mistake but she genuinely thought he had split with his wife and had no clue that Laz was pregnant. I feel sorry for Laz but I think she's a stupid, stupid girl for taking him back though I can understand why given the kids etc. Basically Duffy is the lowest of the low, should be a tim, and if I ever meet the bastard I'm going to kick the seven colours of shite out of him and set him on fire. Btw if Laz comes on here asking for this to be removed, I'd like to point out that it's her that keeps mentioning it in the first place then once she's gotten her slagging into Lynz, then asks for the thread to be removed so she can kiss my hairy ass. If she wasn't such a fat, ugly hound then maybe her husband wouldn't be looking elsewhere. And I'd check his phone if I was you Laz coz I'd put money on the bastard having a few others on the go. Regards, Team Awesome ftw PS If Lynz is guilty of anything it's falling for a lying, cheating scumbag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Gramophones Theatre Company are back with their latest show - Wanderlust - which will be performed at Derby's Guildhall Theatre on May 12 and at Belper School Theatre on May 14.
Presented by Arts Council England, Creative Arts East, Create Theatre and Village Ventures, the dates form part of a national tour for the Nottingham-based, all-female trio of performers.
Hidden in the deepest, darkest depths of rural England, in the corners of dusty libraries are people with a burning secret. A story to tell...If only someone would ask...
Armed each with a Dictaphone and a pair of Wellington Boots, three women began a search to satisfy their lust for adventure. Hunting in forgotten corners of the country they made it their mission to bring back the most exciting tale.
Kristy Guest, from Beeston, hitchhiked her way around Nottinghamshire on mobile libraries; Hannah Stone, from Chesterfield, hijacked passers by in Norfolk they both collected stories of epic journeys, risk taking, adventure and life changing circumstances.
Ria Ashcroft, from Ilkeston, was invited into nursing homes to chat with the inhabitants and help them create stories, which led her to unravel her own family story of a hereditary disease.
Returning with a variety of different stories some about life changing moments, others about funny surprises, and even one about getting lost in the jungle, the three set about making a theatre show that would honestly tell these stories.
Wanderlust weaves stories together using humour, verbatim and beautiful live music to take the audience on an uplifting journey.

Fining is important part of the winemaking process where a fining agent is added to the wine to create an absorbent, enzymatic or ionic bond with the suspended particles, making them a larger molecule that can precipitate out of the wine easier and quicker. Fining agents is used to reduce astringency and remove tannins, microscopic particles and clarifying the grape juice or wines, they also take out some aroma and flavor. The fining agents can be organic and inorganic or mixtures of both. Some work electrochemically, with the agent having a positive charge attracting negatively charged particles and bind with them.
Lab tests should be performed in order to determine the proper amount of the fining agent to be added to the wine.
Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is a fining agent used to remove unpleasant hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and other "sulfide-like" off aromas in wine. The hydrogen sulfide is generally described as rotten-egg-like off aromas.H2S is volatile natural product of the fermentation and it can be present into the wine as mono-mercaptans (sulfides), which can be treated with copper or poly-mercaptans (disulfides) which will not react with copper, so deal with the problem as soon as it is detected. Copper when added to wine containing "sulfide-like" off aromas immediately reacts with H2S and form copper sulphide, immediately. If the copper ions is not removed from the wine after the treatment with the proper fining agent or filtered out, a haze may appear. Most of the time copper is added to the wine in the form of Copper Sulfate s(CuSO4 • 5 H2O), also known as Copper Sulfate solution.
To avoid over adjustment, copper lab trial should be performed.
The oak alternatives become important part of the modern winemaking, due to their ease of use and the increasing cost of new oak barrels. There are many different types of oak-alternative products such as oak chips, oak powder and oak staves. They can be added at various stages of the winemaking process, during fermentation or the aging of the wine. The benefits is that, they can give quickly specific oak flavors and aromas, more complexity, structure and some sweetness, which will be make the wine more balanced. Different types of oak alternatives can give wine different flavor component like a toasted nuts, vanilla, caramel, coffee and some toasting spiciness. Winemakers who use oak alternatives often use micro-oxygenation to help simulate the oxygen exchange of traditional oak barrels.

Aviation History
, 1948 FLIGHT SCANDIA Discussed A Swedish D.C.3 Replacement With Outstanding Performance : "In the Air" Impressions by Wing Commander Maurice A. Smith, D.F-C WHEN designers first started, a few years back, to con-sider a replacement aircraft for the ubiquitous D.C.3or Dakota, they naturally took advice on existing_ and anticipated requirements. The advice which seemed good at the time, led them in most cases to work on larger and faster designs to meet a much greater volume of air traffic forecast. The predictions have not turned out to be entirely accurate, and some of the new twin-engine transports have proved to be unsuitable substitutes for D.C.3S on many routes. To mention a few difficulties, they have too large a capacity for services of convenient fre- quency; they require better and larger airfields for safe operation than are available; and with their large engines, special equipment and high speed are a great deal more expensive to operate and maintain. The Swedish S.A.A.B. 90 or Scandia is in a class of its own among new aircraft, in being designed specifically to replace the now obsolete D.C.3. Its normal capacity is 24 passengers with luggage, although a short-range 32-seat layout is also offered. It will operate safely from small airfields, has sufficient range with full load (800 miles) to fly over any of the internal European stages, and has speed sufficient to fly across Europe on capital-to-capital services and retnrn to base the same day. In addition to the achievement of these aims, the S.A.A.B. company have laid great stress on safety and simplicity while maintaining a truly modern conception. Safety, they believe, is chiefly dependent upon first-class low-speed characteristics, and operational economy on aero- dynamic perfection and on the \ avoidance of complication. Al- though the tendency has been progressively to increase wing loading, and for high speeds to turn to laminar-flow sections, S.A.A.B. designers point out that there has been no advance in human ability or in take-off and landing technique. Therefore to conform with their safety precept, landing and approach speeds were pegged at a low level, and a well-tried N.A.C.A. wing section is employed. The Scandia's increase in wing load- ing of 30 to 40 per cent over pre-war types for similar duties, achieved without impairing low-speed qualities, has been made possible by aerodynamic advances. The Scandia is a low-wing design with pronounced dihedral, a widely spaced nose-wheel undercarriage, and oval-section fuselage. The tail surfaces are neat and appear small by comparison with other new single-fin designs. The cabin is air conditioned but not pressurized. Should a demand arise for a pressurized version it might be built, a study of the possibilities having already been made. By virtue of its good performance the Scandia could be sub- stituted at short notice for an aircraft such as the D.C.4, should bookings not justify the use of a large aircraft on a particular flight, and could maintain much the same schedules. In November, 1946, the Scandia prototype made its maiden flight with Capt. Smith at the controls. Since that time, flight development has continued and experience amounting to 270 hours in the air has been built up. The first and second production machines for Swedish airlines are now well on the way, and regular deliveries of the first order of ten S.A.A.B.90A-2S1 with Pratt and Whitney Twin- Wasp R-2180 engines, should begin in August, 1949. The later engines are not expected to

Pictures: Confederate troops put Hampton to the torch on Aug. 7, 1861
Determined to keep the picturesque town of Hampton from being used by Federal troops and runaway slaves, a Confederate detachment of mostly local soldiers burned it to the ground on Aug. 7, 1861. The dramatic fire and evocative ruins it left sparked national news coverage and became a well-known symbol of the Civil War's escalation into one of America's most brutal wars. -- Mark St. John Erickson Click here for the accompanying story.

Olympus Wide Angle Lens
A Olympus wide-angle lens is a lens with a large angle of view. Wide-angle lenses have an extra-large angle of view. This means that they can capture much of the environment; much of what you see, you can actually get in the picture. A Olympus wide-angle lens is therefore very suitable for landscape and architecture photography.

Discover the world with a Olympus wide-angle lens
If you're using a Olympus wide-angle lens, you can capture the world around you in optima forma. These camera lenses have focal lengths between 10 and 35mm, more or less. This allows you to capture a beautiful scene. For example, if you walk through a landscape and you see a stream beside a forest edge, after which the hay begins, you can capture all these aspects of nature. The same goes for the city. If you are in front of a cathedral with a wide-angle lens, you can shoot the entire building at once. If you have a lens with a focal length of, for example, 55mm, you will never capture the building in one shot. Unless you step very far away. A Olympus wide-angle lens is therefore a lens, which may not be missing in a photographer's bag. You also have the choice of many different models. Both fixed focal length and zoom.

Champion Horse Little Current Dies
Little Current, winner of the 1974 Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes, was euthanized because of an intestinal illness.
At 32, Little Current was the oldest living winner of a Triple Crown race. That designation now is shared by two 27-year-olds: 1979 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Spectacular Bid, and that year's Belmont winner, Coastal.
Dr. Ann Hansen, a veterinarian who has owned Little Current since 1995, said Wednesday the horse had a tumor wrapped around the intestine. He died Sunday.
Miguel Rivera rode Little Current to the Preakness and Belmont victories, each by 7 lengths. Trained by Lou Rondinello, Little Current finished fifth in the 1974 Kentucky Derby behind winner Cannonade.

The right mental attitude can go a long way in helping people achieve their goals and build their ideal life. Even when circumstances get difficult, with the right attitude and strength of mind, it can be easy to overcome problems and find solutions. In this article, you will find some common traits possessed by mentally strong people.
However, as you read this, keep in mind that living with mental illnesses is extremely difficult and this article does not aim to discredit the struggles of those with mental illnesses.
5 behaviors displayed by mentally strong people:
1. They do not complain
Mentally strong people complain about their situations much less than those who are not mentally strong. They know that there is no point in complaining; so they tend to focus on solutions instead. They are aware of the fact that resisting change only makes it difficult to get on in life, and therefore try their best to embrace it and do what they can, instead of worrying about what they can't.
2. They take control of their lives
Mentally tough people are used to taking control of their own lives. Instead of waiting around for somebody else to come around and save them from their misfortunes, they take responsibility for themselves and do what must be done to make their lives feel better. While they might rely on a support system when things get particularly bad, they are averse to sitting around not doing anything.
3. They can make the best of their situation
Mentally strong people know that life cannot always be sunshine and flowers. They can take the good with the bad, and when things go wrong, they learn to make the best out of whatever life throws at them by learning to dance in the rain. When they come across an obstacle, they simply find a way around it, instead of giving up completely.
4. They abandon their vices
When building the life of their dreams, mentally strong people can recognize which bad habits are getting in the way. They can let go of these habits easily, no matter what they may be – toxic relationships, substance abuse, or anything else. They let go of any habit that no longer serves their best interest. Even if they might indulge once in a while, they get back on track immediately and build their ideal life.
5. They know how to say no
Learning how to say no to things that might not be good for you is a trait displayed by all mentally strong people. They can stand up for themselves and have self-respect. They never allow other people to treat them badly or walk all over them. They also set clear boundaries to let people know exactly where they stand.
Mentally strong people know that they can only rely on themselves to build the life they love, and for that reason, do not expect anything from other people. They live their lives with dignity and self-respect and go through every single day learning how to be better. This not only helps them to build their ideal life but also helps to strengthen their relationship with themselves.

About Us
At a recent Alpaca Association of New Zealand conference, Mike Safely (noted author, alpaca judge and breeder) asked people attending his seminar what first inspired them to farm alpacas. About half the audience—and we were among them—said that it was seeing their first alpacas at Mystery Creek.
Actually, it was Kathy who saw them first, and she tried to convince me to buy a few of these lovely animals. Everything was fine until she mentioned the price. It was then that we decided to buy a few more sheep instead.
Shortly after visiting Mystery Creek, we made a big decision to sell our farmlet in Albany and build a new house somewhere on the Kaipara Harbour. After about 20 years of breeding pigs, sheep, cattle, horses, goats and chickens in Albany, we shifted to South Head on Auckland's west coast.
Christmas rolled around, and I was short of ideas as to what to get Kathy for a present. After a lot of discussion with half of the alpaca breeders around Auckland, I arranged two surprise Christmas presents for Kathy. The first was a weekend at Rocky Bay Alpacas at Tutukaka, and the second was two alpacas of her choice.
Since purchasing our first two alpacas, our herd has grown to over 150 pregnant females, 15 certified stud males, and a dozen or so pet males ready to leave home. Kathy is afraid to go to work for fear that she'll come home to find that I have purchased a few more alpacas.
We've joined the Alpaca Association of New Zealand, attended over 40 alpaca shows, attended the last five national alpaca conferences and come to know some terrific people who share our love of alpacas and the lifestyle that accompanies them.
You can read about the two different types of alpacas (suris and huacayas) by clicking on "
Alpaca Facts
". Many breeders have decided to breed both types, although most are breeding only one. We prefer the "huacaya look", and we feel that it is difficult enough to improve the genetics of one type without trying to do two. Hence, our decision to only breed huacayas.
Please take some time to view the material on this site. You are welcome to visit our farm to view our alpacas, and we look forward to sharing our knowledge with you. The farm is located at South Head, about 25 kilometres northwest of Helensville. For you mainlanders, South Head is 60 kilometres northwest of Auckland. Our alpaca herd has a lovely view over the Kaipara Harbour, and they have agreed to share it with us two-legged critters.

Averill Park - Barbara Jean (O'Connor) Lipschultz, age 76, beloved wife of Stuart Lipschultz, passed into eternity on Wednesday, April 15, 2015. She was surrounded by her loving family. She and her husband would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on October 30th of this year.
Born November 5, 1938, she was the daughter of the late Edmund and Rose (Callahan) O'Connor.
Barbara was raised in Taunton, MA, graduated from St. Mary's High School, Boston University and the Boston College Graduate School of Social Work.
Until becoming a mother, she was employed by the Rensselaer County Department of Social Services as a social worker in the daycare placement unit.
Barbara was the beloved and cherished mother to Patricia (Matthew) Cunningham of Cohasset, MA, Michael (Sheila) Lipschultz of Halfmoon, and Katherine (Alexander) Gonzalez of Halfmoon. She was the beloved "Nana" to Jack, Charlie, Nora, Mikey, Jake, Ally, Abby and Lauren. She is also survived by many cousins, dear friends and neighbors.
Barbara's greatest joy and fulfillment was her devotion to her husband and her family. She was always the "protector" of her loved ones, keeping them safe, warm on the coldest of days and on watch for perils lurking around the next corner. Her Irish wit brought so much laughter to her loved ones on holidays and family gatherings. She will be always remembered for her brilliant memory, favorite homemade recipes and funny surprise gifts to family and friends.
Barbara was a daily "champion" at Jeopardy, and also enjoyed her crossword puzzles every morning and would read at least two books a week in retirement. She and Stu loved cruising, traveling to magical ports and countries throughout the world.
Relatives and friends may call at the Bryce Funeral Home, Inc. 276 Pawling Avenue Troy on Monday, April 20, 2015 from 4 - 7 PM.
Funeral service will be held Tuesday, at 9:30 AM at the funeral home and at 10 AM at St. Henry's Church 39 Old Route 66 Averill Park where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Rev. Thomas F. Holmes, Pastor.
Interment will be in St. Henry's Cemetery.
Barbara and her family want to thank the doctors, nurses and support staff of the ICU Unit and Inpatient Hospice Unit at Saint Mary's Hospital in Troy for their wonderful care, dedication, compassion and spiritual guidance.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Mohawk Hudson River Humane Society, 3 Oakland Avenue, Menands, NY 12204. or to Saint Mary's Hospital, 1300 Massachusetts Avenue, Troy, NY 12180.

Lysine is generally thought to be the most limiting amino acid in the horse's diet.
Lysine is a precursor for the important amino acid citrulline and crucial for normal protein metabolism in horses. Research has shown that without adequate levels of lysine horses will have impaired growth and metabolism.
This important limiting amino acid can be found in high amounts in forages and soya. All cereals tend to be low in this amino acid.
Foals, young horses (particularly those under three years of age), pregnant mares and lactating mares all have a large requirement for lysine but depending on the health of the soil upon which a forage is grown the lysine levels in the forage may not be enough to cover levels. It is wise to alway supplement lysine to provide good insurance to all classes of horse.

SANTA CLARA — Coach Jim Harbaugh has a lengthy to-do list for things he wants to get accomplished before the 49ers' next game. Finding a way to incorporate second-year running back LaMichael James into "the mix" is among the priorities.
"I want to get that going," Harbaugh said Tuesday as the 49ers eased into their bye week midway through the season. "He's just too good of a football player not to be playing."
James last played Oct. 6 against the Houston Texans. He wasn't active for the past three games.
Overall, James has appeared in only two of the 49ers' eight regular-season games and touched the ball seven times.
Last season, James had 27 rushes and three receptions in four games as a rookie.
Harbaugh said he intends to get James more involved in the offense and special teams for the second half of the season.
Last season, James returned 14 kicks during the regular season, including one for 62 yards against the New England Patriots that played a huge role in the 49ers' victory that night.

What Is Bio Oil And Their Uses For Stretch Marks
What Is Bio Oil?
Bio oil is creamy lotion with great uses such as to reduce the formation of scars, heal or reduce stretch marks and reduce the appearance of scars. It also moisturizes your skin and augments the elasticity of your skin. Since its inception in 1986, this lotion has gained a reputation of reducing as well as healing stretch marks. To some extent, Bio Oil and stretch marks removal go hand in hand.
Ingredients That Make Up Bio Oil
The components that make up Bio Oil are great ingredients, which are typically harmless on any skin. As a result, Bio Oil is usually harmless to even the most sensitive skin types. The main ingredients that feature in this lotion are Rosemary oil, Lavender oil, PurCellin oil, Chamomile oil and Vitamins A and E.
Formation And Characteristics Of Stretch Marks
Stretch marks (also known as stria, striae and during pregnancy they are called striae gravidarum) are formed when a skin suddenly stretches, causing the middle part of the skin to break and thereafter the lower part of the skin to emerge. The stretch marks, depending on the skin color, appear as pink, dark brown and reddish-brown. They are usually formed during pregnancy in women, puberty in teenagers and as a result of weight gain.
Parts Of The Body Affected By Stretch Marks
Typically stretch marks affect parts of the skin where fat deposits are made under the skin. This includes the buttocks, tummy, thighs, breasts and the upper arm. Though not very common, stretch marks can appear on the back (horizontal to the spine) as well as on the shoulders, especially among body builders.
How Does Bio Oil Work
Bio Oil works by hydrating the skin, moisturizing it and improving on the flexibility of the skin. However, in order to achieve this, it is recommended that you apply Bio Oil at least twice a day for three months. While applying Bio Oil, rub it in a circular motion to ensure that the oil is fully absorbed by the skin. The best results are witnessed when application of the oil starts when the stretch marks are new.
The uses for Bio oil is plenty and this lotion is recommended for use by pregnant women experiencing striae gravidarum, by body builders, adolescents and anyone who has under gone rapid weight gain. Bio Oil and stretch marks eradication is a topic of interest for many. Although it may not completely remove all the stretch marks, it improves the appearance and gives you a better and uniform skin tone.

Yarn Along
Finished the little spring Georgian Lace Cap for Belle. I really don't like how the crown turned out but she seems quite happy with it, yay! It is hard to tell while I am knitting something if she likes it or not because she always seems ambivalent when I tell her "I am knitting ____ for you." But then when I gave it to her she said, "Mommy made a new pink hat for you!" (you means me) and wanted to try it on and look in the mirror immediately. Books are pretty much the same around here except I have added the Dr. Sears pregnancy book to my very sparse reading. Now go visit Ginny for more Yarn Along fun!

Carol, thanks for stopping by, it always takes me days to try and even scratch the surface and visit as many blogs as I can!! The hat is really gorgeous, I love that soft pink colour and the stitch is so pretty: I crocheted a hat that has a similar lacy effect for my daughter and she loved it, especially in spring and autumn when it isn't too cold that you need to wear a very woolly hat. And I love all the sears books!! I've the Sears' Pregnancy book open regularly at the minute!!

"Blessed is he who waits." Daniel 12:12
The prophet Daniel never put up a Christmas tree, never lit an Advent wreath, and never sang a holiday carol. But he celebrated Christmas anyway. He anticipated the coming of the Messiah, and his whole life was lived against the backdrop of Christ's appearance. It gave him daily encouragement. In Daniel 7:13, he said: "I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, [was] coming."
For us, too, the promise of His coming imparts optimism. Our attitude is that of Revelation 1:7: "Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him."
Imagine how excited you'd be if your loved one were returning after a tour of duty in a war zone. You'd be almost giddy with excitment, straightening the house, planning a menu, calling friends, and preparing for the long-awaited reunion.
How wonderful that Jesus came, clothed in humanity, born of a virgin, laid in a manger. How wonderful that He is coming again, clothed in triumph, descending with angels, crowned with glory.
Celebrate Christmas this year with both a backward glance and forward look. Rejoice! Our King is coming.
From "Turning Points" by David Jeremiah

TimesofIsrael| Martin Luther 500th anniversary marred by anti-Semitism row
Controversy erupts over 'Judensau' carving on church showing Jews suckling the teats of a sow as a rabbi looks under its leg and tail
A bitter row over a medieval anti-Semitic carving on a church wall risks overshadowing Germany's celebrations on Tuesday to mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, the seismic theological shift started by German theologian Martin Luther.
The bas relief sculpture at the heart of the dispute dates from around 1300 and is one of Germany's last remaining examples of vulgar anti-Jewish folk art that was common in Europe during that era.
The graphic stone image shows Jews suckling the teats of a sow as a rabbi looks intently under its leg and tail. The hateful symbolism is that Jews obtain their sustenance and scripture from an unclean animal.
Many churches in the Middle Ages had similar "Judensau" (Jewish pig) sculptures, which were also aimed at sending the stark message that Jews were not welcome in their communities.

Mark Blacklock - a riveting novel about truth, lies, prison and shame. It is also a profound and furious love letter to Sunderland. It is a puzzle, a hoax, a multi-voice portrait and a virtuoso assemblage of textual elements
Mark Blacklock, I'm Jack, Granta Books, 2015.
In this provocative novel Mark Blacklock portrays the true and complex history of John Humble, aka Wearside Jack, the Ripper Hoaxer, a timewaster and criminal, sympathetic and revolting, the man hidden by a wall of words, a fiction-spinner worthy of textual analysis. In this remarkable work, John Humble leads the reader into an allusive, elusive labyrinth of interpretations, simultaneously hoodwinking and revealing.
I'm Jack is a riveting novel about truth, lies, prison and shame. It is also a profound and furious love letter to Sunderland. It is a puzzle, a hoax, a multi-voice portrait and a virtuoso assemblage of textual elements. I'm Jack announces the arrival of a radically talented and innovative novelist.
A gripping study in self-invention - and, ultimately, self-erasure - Tom McCarthy
Here are dark telegrams from an expertly realised otherness that is Sunderland. Spare. Swift. Smart. And dangerous. Carrying us through maps of shame to rescue a convincing fiction of the past from its sullen entropy - Iain Sinclair
The varied range and wit of his polyphonic chorus are reminiscent of Joe Orton's darkly subversive correspondence pranks... [An] intelligent [and] disturbing slice of noir - Catherine Taylor
Less a novel and more an assault on the senses, I'm Jack cleverly uses inter-textual trickery and deft Mackem parlance to create a portrait of a man obsessed. It is a forensic montage, a frenzied confessional and a stark commentary on the effects of public notoriety. Moving, haunted and necessary - Benjamin Myers
Compelling, troubling, fascinating, a delight to read. It is a sublime anti-novel and a brilliantly original intervention into a most peculiar episode of recent history - James Miller
Absorbing and fascinating. Using multi-layered storytelling, a deep personal knowledge of Sunderland past, present and legend in a believable and hard-hitting blend of fact and imagination, it paints a genuinely disturbing vision of an obsessive, calculating and ultimately self-destructive personality - Bryan Talbot
A deftly executed ventriloquist act, it's anchored in the true story of notorious hoaxer John Humble... The book itself is just as slippery - Hephzibah Anderson
[An] intriguing debut... There is an air of grubby menace throughout - Ben Myers
The ageing Humble is a figure lost on the margins of society: alcoholic, in and out of gaol and lacking any real relationship... [Suggesting] that crime might be understood by looking at the particular social situations that contribute to it, Blacklock presents Humble as far from 'evil' but a melancholic echo of a wider deprivation - Jerome de Groot
By early 1978 West Yorkshire police's ongoing investigation into the serial killer dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper had reached breaking point. Then, in March, a letter arrived at headquarters addressed to George Oldfield, the assistant chief constable heading the inquiry. Over the course of the next year and three months two more letters were sent, signed "Jack the Ripper", and, most significantly, a tape, all purporting to be from the killer. The police changed course and focused on Sunderland, from where the communications originated.
In late June of 1979, the recording of "Wearside Jack" taunting the beleaguered Oldfield was broadcast over and over again, becoming seared into public imagination and memory. It played over the airwaves of our local radio station in Sheffield almost as nightly entertainment. From my bedroom window I would stare, transfixed, into the blackness of the garden, wondering if "he" were somewhere out there in the shadows.
South Yorkshire had not been targeted by the Ripper at that point, but on 2 January 1981 Peter Sutcliffe was caught in the lane behind my school, initially arrested for having fake number plates on his car. The young woman he had picked up from the red-light district around the corner a few minutes earlier had the luckiest escape of her life. Yet because of the concentration on Wearside Jack, the inquiry had taken a false and disastrous turn, leaving Sutcliffe, the actual killer, who had by then been interviewed nine times by police, free to murder three more women.
Oldfield was retired from the case due to ill health in late 1979 and died in 1985. One of his many tactical errors was the assertion that the killer craved publicity; his complicity in the crude hoax left his reputation in tatters. Even as Sutcliffe's trial began, Oldfield still believed the letters and tape were linked to the murders. It was not until 2005 and random DNA testing that John Samuel Humble, a petty criminal in his late 40s from Castletown, Sunderland, was identified as Wearside Jack, charged with perverting the course of justice, and jailed for eight years.
With his first book, Mark Blacklock fits effortlessly into the lineup of accomplished literary chroniclers of the Ripper years, such as David Peace and the late Gordon Burn. In common with Burn, whose outstanding Somebody's Husband, Somebody's Son provided forensic biographical details and compelling psychological insights into Sutcliffe's crimes, Blacklock has fashioned an intelligent, disturbing slice of noir, which falls into no particular category – rather like his subject. He reconstructs Humble's preferred epistolary style to develop further the "relationship" between Wearside Jack and the now deceased police officer. Blacklock's Humble continues to address Oldfield in a mock-affectionate, softly menacing tone, complete with all the syntactical idiosyncracies of Humble's original missives, which set graphologists off in a tailspin.
The narrative is interspersed with police and psychological reports, creative writing exercises, letters to Humble in prison from cranks and obsessives, and an extended piece of pulp fiction. Born in Sunderland in 1974, just prior to the start of Sutcliffe's spree, Blacklock has the area's linguistic cadences and landmarks at his fingertips, as well as its cavernous history and quiet desperation. The varied range and wit of his polyphonic chorus are reminiscent of Joe Orton's darkly subversive correspondence pranks. Humble, as portrayed by Blacklock, is the bored fantasist with few prospects who craves notoriety because no one listens to him down the pub. By turns apologetic, self-pitying and defiant, the man who calls himself "Jackanory" and "Jack the Giant Killer" takes on a new alias when he is freed on licence: the book ends with his application to change his name.
Should we be interested in Humble as a piece of cultural history, the 20th-century foil to his true fascination, Jack the Ripper? The women who Sutcliffe butchered so frenziedly, "the lasses" to whom Humble expresses his own careless misogyny, remain as mere ciphers. Apart from Pat Barker's exceptional 1984 novel Blow Your House Down and Joan Smith's ever-relevant essay "There's Only One Yorkshire Ripper", there has been little writing by women published on this topic. Instead, the Ripper story – to which Wearside Jack is a pathetic but powerful adjunct – has become a relentless examination of male identity, of violence most horribly, and somehow perpetually, in bloom. - Catherine Taylor
Mark Blacklock's first novel is an audacious exercise in mimicry. Yet it is an utterly appropriate one, too: through a series of letters, witness statements and assorted official documents, Blacklock assumes the voice of one of Britain's most notorious hoaxers, John Humble, aka "Wearside Jack", the man who assumed the voice of the Yorkshire Ripper.
In 1979, Humble sent a tape recording to Chief Constable George Oldfield, the man leading the hunt for the serial killer who, over the previous 10 years, had murdered 10 women and assaulted several others throughout the north of England. Played at a televised press conference, the tape — a two-minute low-fi recording of Humble taunting Oldfield — had the makings of a breakthrough in the Yorkshire Ripper case: "I'm Jack. I see you are still having no luck catching me. I have the greatest respect for you, George, but Lord, you are no nearer catching me now than four years ago when I started." Dialect specialists pinned the accent down to the Castletown area of Sunderland, in Wearside, northeast England. A wild goose chase ensued, with more than 40,000 Sunderland-born suspects interviewed.
This was a gift to the actual Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, a West Yorkshireman who was questioned nine times before his eventual arrest in 1981. He said that after hearing the tape he felt "safe" — safe enough to murder three more women as detectives looked elsewhere. The hunt plagued Oldfield. Burnt out, he suffered a heart attack. He never returned to the case, and died in 1985.
But what of Humble? Before sending the tape, the hoaxer had also sent three letters purporting to come from the Ripper, two addressed to Oldfield and one to the Daily Mirror newspaper. When West Yorkshire Police decided to review the case in 2005, DNA advances linked Humble to one of the envelopes he had licked. Detectives found him, alcoholic and unemployed, living with his brother on the Ford Estate in Sunderland. The living conditions were described as "squalid". In 2006, Humble, then 50, received an eight-year prison sentence for perverting the course of justice; he had apparently been inspired by a library book he had borrowed (and never returned) about the Victorian serial killer Jack the Ripper.
Blacklock, who also hails from Sunderland, portrays Humble as a classic unreliable narrator. Sly, yet not entirely unsympathetic, he pesters the ghost of Oldfield from his prison cell in Leeds with a batch of letters that are a compelling mess of bad grammar, rambling reveals and local dialect.
Blacklock has the voice down pat, with the same insidiously familiar tone as Humble's tape or his original letters: "Thing is George there was a time that summer everyone was listening to my voice I was listening to my voice you couldn't not listen to my voice it was playing everywhere wasn't it." A picture emerges not only of prison life, but also of the lonely, thwarted existence that led to it.
Fleshing the story out further are the numerous official documents interspersed among Humble's one-way dispatches: police transcripts, housing association letters, graphology reports, newspaper cuttings. Some are taken straight from real-life sources, although not necessarily relating to Humble; others have been written by Blacklock. All of them, though, are orderly, businesslike and serious, unlike Humble's wayward outpourings. The contrast — a hierarchy of tone, style and content — magnifies Humble's lonely position on the bottom rung of society's ladder.
Then there are other more obviously fictional pieces: poems, two stream-of-consciousness monologues from a younger Humble and a lurid horror story titled "Yours Sincerely, Jack the Ripper", purportedly written by Robert Blake. This, presumably, is a variation on Robert Psycho Bloch's 1943 story "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper". Blacklock deftly captures the trashy popular mythologising of the original Ripper murders; his yarn tellingly ends with the words "I'm Jack" — a pulp-fiction endorsement for Humble the fantasist.
I'm Jack doesn't have the intensity of Gordon Burn's immersive 1984 take on the life of Peter Sutcliffe, Somebody's Husband, Somebody's Son, or of David Peace's Red Riding quartet, which have the Yorkshire Ripper investigation as their background. Its tone is more mischievous, with a vein of dark, crafty humour — though the overall effect is sombre. Blacklock's Humble is impossible to like; yet by the end it is almost impossible not to feel sorry for him. - Austin Collings

For decades people have been discussing the effects of the information explosion and how it affects the human mind. It has been said that a weekly edition of the New York Times contains more information than the average person was likely to come across in an entire lifetime in seventeenth-century England.
There are 300,000 new book titles[1] and more than 9000 periodicals published[2] every year.
Even back in 1934, Jose Ortega y Gasset warned that books were so prolific they were "turning against humankind."[3]
Standing out in the midst of the sea of information is one book that has benefitted mankind in more ways than can be measured. It contains all that we need to know about life and how to live it as our Creator intended (2 Timothy 3.16,17). While this book is a veritable treasure chest of helpful information for life today, it contains basic information that is essential to being assured of life eternal.
The Bible says that every member of the human race has a problem. It identifies that problem as "sin." Any action or thought that falls short of God's perfect standard of holiness is sin. None of us meets that perfect standard because we all have sinned (Romans 3.23). This problem is compounded by the fact God is a holy God and cannot tolerate sin. The Bible says that, as a consequence of our sin, we are separated from God, unable to have fellowship with Him (Habakkuk 1.13). The Bible says that the ultimate result of our sin is death, both physical (ultimate separation from our body and loved ones) and spiritual (separation from God) (Romans 6.23).
The dreadful thing about this problem is that there is absolutely nothing we ourselves can do to remedy it. Anything we might try to do, even our very best efforts and good works, are unavoidably tainted by our sin and therefore unacceptable to God insofar as attaining forgiveness for our sin (Isaiah 64.6).
But the Bible says that there is a remedy!
The remedy has been provided, as a free gift, through the person of Jesus Christ (Romans 6.23). The Bible says that God loved us so much that He sent Jesus, His only Son, to die in our place [to pay our penalty] so that whoever would believe in Him would receive eternal life (John 3.16; 1 John 4.10). In other words, we need not be separated from Him forever!
The Bible says that Jesus is the ONLY solution for our problem (John 14.6). The Bible says that this remedy is applied through faith, totally apart from any personal efforts and good works (Ephesians 2.8,9). There is no other remedy for our problem apart from this free gift of God.
Do you agree, in this age of information overload, that this information about the universal problem of mankind and its only remedy is certainly relevant to you? If so, then there is an additional bit of information that is essential for you to know: It is not enough to merely know about your problem and the remedy. It is not enough to know about your sin and about Jesus and His death on the cross to pay the penalty for sin. You must receive this free gift of salvation by turning from any confidence you have placed in anything or anyone, for attaining forgiveness and eternal life, and trusting in Christ alone (John 1.12). All of us have the problem of sin. Jesus Christ offers the only remedy, secured through His death on the cross. Each of us must trust Him.
What will YOU do with this information?
· You can accept God's gift of salvation by trusting in Christ (1 John 5.11-13).
· You can reject God's gift of salvation by choosing to trust some other means of your own devising, thereby forfeiting that which is offered to you through the ONLY way (John 14.6).
· You can put off the decision until a more convenient time, running the risk that none of us have the guarantee of more time (James 4.13,14). Death could come for any of us today and then it would be eternally too late.
Is there any reason why you should not accept God's gift by trusting Christ today?
If you have made the decision to trust Christ today, we would very much like to have the opportunity to provide you with some more free "information" which will be of assistance to you in growing in your understanding of God's Word and how it relates to the rest of life. Please use the link below request that information and we will be pleased to provide it. If you still have questions about what you have read, perhaps we can help answer them. Use the same link to let us know what your questions are.

About Corporate Rentals
In the vacation industry, business housing is a term that shows a furnished apartment or house is rented out on a temporary basis to individuals, armed forces personnel, or corporations instead of a prolonged stay hotel. But what a lot of people have no idea is business housing can also be offered to vacationers.
Actually, business rentals can be obtained to anyone, with or without business connections. If you need lodging for longer than monthly, corporate housing lacks some helpful services (example. an everyday morning meal buffet), but conversely will usually supply a more comfortable and homelike environment. This is partially since you can customize your furniture and design based on your personal needs.
If, including, you will be vacationing with a child, it's possible to have your apartment designed with a high chair, crib, and playpen. In addition, property house or office theater may be arranged. Keep in mind that these unique needs do raise the general cost. Regarding cost, upscale longer remain motels normal about 20% higher than typical business flats, according to a 30-day stay (with monthly savings). The larger price arrives partly into impressive selection of services offered at the extensive stay resort hotels.
Most business leasing businesses supply flats that offer the luxuries and amenities that accommodations and other accommodation solutions lack. Each apartment is furnished with a completely equipped kitchen area which provides everything from a full-size stove and oven, dish washer, and microwave oven to cookware, tableware, and utensils. A completely useful home, and 24-hour concierge service, share, health and fitness center, in-unit washer and dryer, limitless neighborhood phone service, and weekly housekeeping, make business rentals an incredible option not merely for working professionals who need a space to focus and flake out, but in addition for the vacationing traveler who wants to look at internet sites without the inconvenience of being out of the house. An important consideration is location.
The longer you'll be remaining, the greater time you ought to invest comparing all the offered options–both furnished housing and extended remain hotels–to ensure you result in the best option.
Crystal Quarters business Housing http://crystalquarters.com has provided corporate rentals for tourists in Washington, DC for over 25 many years. Rachel Spohn is a freelance publisher.

A walking challenge that became a family affair is to come to an end next week, nearly four years after their first steps.
The Wainman family, made up of mum and dad Emma and Nick, and their sons Jake, 11 and Ewan, nine, have been lacing up their boots every other weekend since May 2014 to conquer the 214 fells of the Lake District.
Known as the Wainwright Challenge - after the famous walking author Alfred Wainwright - it covers more than 550 miles with walkers climbing more than six times the height of Mount Everest in total.
Emma, 37, explained: "We started it by accident, we did a few and decided as a family that we should complete them all.
"We wanted to complete it before Jake starts high school, which he does in September.
"Some have been really challenging, and we've walked in the snow before but the kids loved it. We're really proud of ourselves but a little bit sad because it's been a big part of our lives since we started."
Now only one peak stands in the Pontefract family's way - Silver How - a 395-metre-high fell which they aim to complete in the next week.
They have conquered the largest mountains in England, including Scafell Pike which stands at almost 1,000 metres above sea level. The first one tackled in 2014, when the boys were just seven and five, was Hellvellyn - England's third highest peak at 950 metres.
The challenge has also given the family the chance to raise cash for Pontefract's Prince of Wales Hospice.
Sophie Elsworth, fundraising assistant at the hospcie said: "Through the sun, snow, wind and rain, they have all shown true commitment and determination towards completing this remarkable challenge.
"The funds they have raised so far could help fund the cost of one bed on our incare ward for 24 hours. For this we are extremely grateful."

As part of my laundry room makeover, I needed to find a creative, functional way to fill an empty space next to my dryer. It was a smallish, awkward space that was too narrow for a pantry-type cabinet, so I decided a small table that I could use when I fold laundry would be the next best thing.
My laundry room is a bit odd because instead of having the washer and dryer side by side like the rest of the civilized world, mine are directly across from each other. So that awkward space that most people have between their washer and dryer, for me, happens to be between my dryer and the wall. Here's the "dryer side" of my laundry room right before I moved in.
I realized there was a zero chance that I would find a table exactly the size I needed—16″ wide, 31″ deep and 39.5″ tall. Those were peculiar dimensions for a table, but I had a vision. And I knew the only way to get that table out of my head and into my laundry room was to build it myself. Thus my twenty-seven cent table was born.
My goal was to build a table that would fit snugly enough between the dryer and the wall that socks and undies couldn't go AWOL. I wanted the table to be on wheels so I could slide it out easily if need be, but most of all, I just wanted the darn thing to be cute. Function doesn't have to be ordinary.
Here are some of the materials I used to make the table. As always, I would like to point out that it pays to pull treasures off of curbs.
Bargain number one…I pulled the bed posts off of a curb a few years ago. They had decorative tape all over them. Some little girl was expressing herself I suppose. I got tired of peeling it off, so you can still see some of the stubborn pieces in the photos.
Bargain number two…the wheels. These were off of a butcher block kitchen cart I found next to a dumpster. I took it home and stripped it down like a car thief strips down cars for parts. You might scoff at that, but I got some pretty handsome wheels to show for it.
The plywood scrap, as well as some 2 x 4's and other trim that you'll see in future photos was all leftover from other projects.
Note that a bolt was missing from one of the ends of the bed posts in the last photo. I bought a new bolt and cut off the head with a hack saw to replace the missing one. There's where my twenty-seven cents came in. It's the only item I had to buy specifically to build this table. (I bought four bolts, but only ended up using one.)
I was going to begin this project by cutting the knobs off the ends of the bedposts so I would have a flat surface to attach the wheels to. As luck would have it, the knobs actually screwed right off! And the threads on my wheel brackets matched the threads on the metal pieces inside the bed posts so they screwed right in. It doesn't get much simpler than that!
Now I have four little knobs for another project!
In order to make the table the correct height, and to have something to attach the bed posts/legs to, I added 2 x 4 blocks to the underside of the plywood. I measured where they needed to go and drew lines as a guide as to where to install them.
I've had these spiky threaded do-dads in my stash for so long that I don't remember where I got them. I had no idea what they were used for, or what they were even called, until I looked online for ideas on how to attach legs to tables. They're called t-nuts, and the threads inside the t-nuts were a perfect match with the threads that were inside the other ends of the bed posts.
After drilling holes into the wood blocks for the t-nuts, and pounding the them in, I screwed each block into the plywood top.
Next I screwed the legs into the t-nuts.
Unfortunately the legs were a tad wobbly, so I added extra screws to them.
I flipped the table over and added some ripped down ship lap that was leftover from my screened porch. It covered all the ugliness going on underneath the table. (Note the nice shot of the blue zebra tape.)
At this point, I primed the plywood top and the legs, but only after some deep breathing and determination to finally get rid of that last bit of tape!
To add a little more detail, I layered some door casing I had leftover from when I trimmed out my doors and windows on top of the ship lap.
Next, I added trim that was leftover from my kitchen remodel to cover the rough plywood edges.
I primed the trim and painted everything with two coats of paint, and my table was complete! Here she is.
Now I no longer have an awkward space next to my dryer. I've got a place for some pretty flowers to add a little cheer to my laundry room, and I've got a spot for clean laundry when I'm folding.
One of these days, I'll be posting my complete laundry room redo, so without giving away too much, here are my before and after photos.
Final thought…I realize you may be thinking, "Does she really think I'm gonna walk down the street and just happen to stumble across four bed posts that I can make a table with?" The answer is probably not (although it did happened to me *grin*). But you could pull legs off of a table purchased at your local Habitat Restore, thrift store, yard sale or yes, even from a free heap on the curb, to make a custom table to fit your space.
Be creative. Use your imagination. There are endless ideas on Pinterest and Google on how to create simple projects like this one to personalize your space and make it function for you. So get going!

Good service.
I am very fond of fish burgers and that's why I chose the place. I ordered the Regular Fish Burger. They used the packet fillets so I was a little disappointed, but they put generous amount of salad and sauce which made it stand out. Also, one thing I noticed that they didn't use any oil to fry the patty, they placed the patty on the dry stove flipped it over a few times until it got brown. So, if your looking for a healthier choice I'd recommend you to go for it. The attendants are very well behaved, they will greet you with a smile and will try to make your experience a good one.

Precise educational interventions are the sine qua non of services for students with exceptionalities. Applying interventions riddled with inconsistencies, there-fore, interferes with the growth and learning potential of students who need these interventions. This research synthesis documents the inconsistencies revealed during a critical analysis of the procedures and outcomes of emotion intervention studies for individuals with Autistic Disorder and Asperger's Disorder. The au-thors examined all peer-reviewed emotion intervention studies published in English between 1985 and 2010 in the PsycInfo, ERIC, and Medline databases (N = 24). It is noteworthy that while 96% of studies reported improvements in emo-tion abilities post-intervention, these improvements were notably limited in the majority of cases and many studies demonstrated methodological inconsistencies. Specific suggestions are made for mitigating such inconsistencies in order to pro-vide individuals with Autistic Disorder and Asperger's Disorder the best opportunity to master and successfully implement social/emotional skills.

Can you imagine seeing this guy in the wild? Eating a bucket? That would be so scary. Today on my bike ride to work I saw a goose. It seems all innocent, but this goose was out for blood I tell you! Here's the full story of the goose:
It started months ago when I first spotted a stray goose on a little side road that I take on my way to work. I thought "Oh, a goose!" and then "He's all alone. He must be lost". I actually worried about this goose. I don't like seeing geese by themselves. But a couple days later there were two geese and they walked around the road like they owned the place. Like their farts don't stink, ya know?
Some astute readers of this complete waste of time blog may remember mention of another goose run-in with a family member of mine. My mother was knocked off her bike by a goose. Now I don't know what my family ever did to geese, but apparently we drew first blood and geese don't forget that. So it makes me weary you know, this unspoken feud my family shares with geese. I could feel it in my bones. I was next.
So this morning I'm bicycling along my route to work when I take a left turn (as always) onto a little quiet block. At the very end of the block in the middle of the road, stands a goose. I bike towards him, my heart racing, my nose dripping with anticipation (I have a cold). He starts honking. He takes a few steps towards me as I get closer and honks louder and more insistent. Frantic honking. Honking for his life. I go "whoa" and swerve around him using my super duper bike skills. He looked pissed. I won this round. Take that, Goose! As I pedaled away I saw a taxi cab come to a complete stop in front of the goose. I couldn't bear to watch the bloodbath that this goose most definitely had in store for these unsuspecting passengers, these next victims in his bloody killing spree. I just couldn't bear it. So I'm at work now. My safe goose-free work.
And that's that.
