Disclaimer: I am part of the PTPA Brand Ambassador Program with Rocky 4EurSole and I received compensation as part of my affiliation with this group. The opinions of this blog are my own.
You guys all know that I am a Physician Assistant student currently on my clinical rotations. What that means is I spend HOURS on my feet every day. In fact, during my Internal Medicine rotation I was in a busy Level 1 trauma hospital and I would walk ~5 miles every day. My first 12 hour day I made the mistake of wearing flats. Needless to say it was a lesson learned in how important good foot wear is.
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Rocky 4EurSole clogs and fell in love. When I put them on I felt like I was walking on clouds due to the memory foam footbed. This footbed molds to contours of your feet and has an antimicrobial liner. There is alo a shock-absorbing heel to provide extra support. Another cool feature is that the Rocky 4EurSole shoes can be worn three ways! You can wear them with a full heel, with a strap, or as an open-back clog! This is clutch for me because in my program we are required to wear a full-back on our shoes. Last but not least the no-slip grip is pretty great. I am heading into my surgery rotation and my worst fear would be slipping in the OR. HA.
I personally chose the simple black clog so it would match most things that I wear, however, there are a ton of awesome colors and patterns to try out. The Rocky 4EurSole shoes empowers women who are on the go to be able to keep up with their busy hours and lifestyles.
And Rocky 4EurSole wants to know #WhatFeedsEurSole? Treating patients and furthering my education is what feeds my sole right now. It is hugely rewarding to being a part of the healthcare team as a provider. I found my calling in the ER and can't wait to get back!

Following the trend that has started since Kamen Rider Decade's "Kamen Rider Climax Heroes" game for PS2, 2012 has bought the release of a new Climax Heroes game, Super Climax Heroes, for both the PSP and the Nintendo Wii.
In my review of Kamen Rider Climax Heroes Fourze, I went on to tell everyone how I was very disappointed by the game, as it was only a clone of Climax Heroes OOO but with a few more characters and a new mission mode tacked on. It wasn't a very good game. But this year's Climax Heroes is completely different, dare I say, Super.
Super Climax Heroes completely changed the battle system; while it's still the same at the very core of things, battle now uses a free-run system, instead of being on a 2D plane like the preview Climax Heroes games, this game allows you to run around the battle field freely. This was a very welcome change, as it not only makes battles feel a bit longer, but also slightly more challenging. It also introduces "Rider Arts", special techniques each Rider can use in battle, along with a (albeit, very shitty.) flight system.
The Free-Run system has causes something many have dreaded; A change in controls. Although the control scheme is now different, I feel as though it's actually much better then the previous controls. Everything flows much easier. The only issue this has presented is charging your Rider Gauge, however with the ability to combo much easier now with the Rider-Cancel being the R button (For PSP) you won't normally find this to be an issue. Another new mechanic introduced is something like a Barrier-Burst technique. This allows you to, at the expense of some of your Guard Gauge, create a burst of energy that will knock your opponent away if you get stuck in a combo. All of these changes make game play a lot more tactical; You'll need to think more then you did before and plan out your combos before you try to execute them.
Another welcome change is the character roster. I thought that Climax Heroes Fourze was quite shallow in that regard. However Super Climax Heroes adds many more characters. Each character is well done; there are no useless new characters like in Climax Heroes Fourze. Each character plays differently and well and overall none of them feel like they were just tacked on at the last minute. (Well, except for Wizard Hurricane Dragon; but that WAS tacked on at the last minute.)
On another note, quite a few of the original actors reprise their roles and provided voices for the game. This was very welcome; making the game have much better game feel then it previously did. This game also has a secret character in Kamen Rider Fourze Meteor Fusion States. All in all this game did amazing things for the character roster, along with completing the rider lineup for some series, which include Blade, Kabuto and W. (Excluding movie riders save Eternal and Skull.)
Now for the new story mode, Super Hero Mode:
Super Hero mode is somewhat like a mix between OOO Ragnarok mode and Fourze's Heroes mode. There are a bunch of locations, and at each of these locations are various missions, ranging in difficulty for you to take. These missions have very simple objectives; Beat the enemy or Beat the enemy within the time limit. Super Heroes mode lasts much longer then Heroes mode in Fourze, taking me about 3-4 hours to complete. Along with taking longer it is also much more challenging. The missions start out easy as you'd expect but as you progress will actually get harder and becoming challenging even to those who have played the previous games. This new challenge was a great addition and made the game feel fulfilling to play. There is no order in which the missions need to be done, allowing for some freedom.
But don't worry; This is a kids game. With the increased difficulty they also introduced a Level up system that is used in Super Heroes mode. When you finish a mission you will be awarded RP, which I assume stands for "Rider Points". This RP can then be exchanged to increase your characters stats; Health, Attack, Defense and Special/Finisher. There are also skills that can be purchased for each character that will have varying effects; Such as increasing your rider gauge over time at the cost of Defense. This somewhat nullified the new challenge presented, But I still think it didn't make it too easy.
Another change is the lack of pictures to be unlocked in the gallery mode. Now we have special figures which can be unlocked while progressing through Super Heroes Mode.
The password system is very simplistic, you enter 6 Riders and if the password is correct you'll unlock new missions, which give special figures. These missions are not too impressive; They aren't challenging at all like I had hoped and are easily finished.
The custom soundtrack feature in this game allows a song to be set for each form, rather then just each rider. This is nice, however I think it may be going a little overboard with it. I wonder what they'll do for it in next years game.

After the Japanese occupation in 1947, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) as it was then called was revived by Englishwoman, Miss Lucia Bach, who ran a boarding house and took in unwanted stray animals. In the early 1950s, a Eurasian lady generously housed strays at her property that were rehomed by volunteers.
In 1954, the RSPCA was set up formally and moved to Orchard Road. This move was facilitated by an RSPCA official from England, who engineered the operation and trained one of the staff as an inspector. The first official vehicle was donated to the SPCA. At the same time two staff members were hired — a telephone operator and a driver.In 1959, Singapore ceased to be a crown colony and the RSPCA became the SPCA. In 1976, an official clinic was set up to provide a service to members of the public. The facilities were also used to treat the Society's animals and carry out sterilisations, which were made compulsory for SPCA-adopted animals since 1969.With the development of Housing and Development Board flats, and the relocation from the kampongs to these flats, countless pets were abandoned, many reluctantly and with much heartache. The SPCA launched a special programme to collect animals before the occupants vacated their homes. The Ministry of National Development, the Primary Production Department (now the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority) and the Dog Unit at the City Veterinary Centre, co-operated in this scheme by providing information on areas about to be developed. The SPCA relocated to 31 Mount Vernon Road in 1984. The new offices and kennels were a big improvement for both staff and animals. In 1994, SPCA proposed to the government to increase the penalties for those found guilty of cruelty to animals. This resulted in an increase from a $500 fine and 6 month jail term to a $10,000 fine and a one year jail term in 2002.In a landmark case in 1997, a magistrate had imposed a $500 fine on an abuser who had stabbed/beat a mongrel dog that was tied up. The SPCA wrote to the Attorney General's Chambers to ask for an appeal to be instituted. On appeal by the prosecution, the Chief Justice sentenced the man to a jail term.In 2006, SPCA became a resource for the Community Court and our input has been sought prior to cases being heard.
The SPCA moved to its current location, outside of the city, to 50 Sungei Tengah Road in January 2016.

for Study of the
Early Settlement of America
from "The Poor Man's Portions" by Robert Hawker AUGUST 24. MORNING. "According to the promise, God raised up for Israel a Saviour: Jesus." Acts 13:23 Mark, my soul, the blessedness of these words. Jesus is not only Israel's Saviour, and has fully lived up to, in every point, that glorious description- but here we are led to discover his credentials. This is faith's warrant. I believe in Jesus. Why? He brings with him the name, the authority, the commission of God the Father. Jesus is the appointment, the enactment, the method Jehovah has sent forth for salvation. Sweet thought! So that, added to all that I behold in the Lord Jesus, adapted to my case and circumstances, I here see that Jesus as the Father's gift, the Father's sent, the Father's anointed, full of grace and truth. Jesus is therefore the great promise of the Bible; for in him are enfolded and contained all the promises. And I see also, that God our Father was, and is, the great Promiser. And I see that God not only gave this rich Saviour to poor sinners, but, according to his promise, raised him up also from the dead, when he had made his soul an offering for sin, to bless them: for it is said, "that he was delivered for our offences, and raised again for our justification." My soul, pause over this blessed account, and look for your own interest in it. If God has raised up to Israel this Saviour, what do you know of him? Have you felt your need of a Saviour? Do you accept the Father's Saviour? Is Jesus your Saviour? Are you come to him for salvation? Now that God the Father has raised him up, does he appear to you in all his beauty, in his suitable and complete salvation?

There is no doubt that if you are looking for the purest analog sound possible, the vacuum tube amplifier is the way to go. Todays solid state amplifiers lack the rich and luscious sound that the vacuum tube amplifier provides. However, the biggest pitfall of the vacuum tube amplifier is well... the vacuum tubes. Vacuum tubes are an extremely antiquated technology making them relatively expensive to replace and yes, you will be replacing them. There is also the issue of quality. Not all vacuum tubes are created equal. The crappy ones will often muddy the sound as well as affect the sound signature of your expensive amp in a variety of negative ways. The better vacuum tubes obviously sound better, but they tend to be much more expensive than their low end counterparts. There is also different types of vacuum tubes that you can select. Each different tube produces a slightly different sound signature when paired with your amplifier, so selecting the proper tubes can sometimes be a chore. You must also understand that almost one hundred percent of the vacuum tube manufacturing process is done by hand. This results in vacuum tubes that are ever so slightly different from each other. Most of the differences are almost imperceptible to the regular listener, but the discerning audiophile can often pick up on the differences.

These posts are all a little delayed and out of synch. Thats part of the joy of being on boats and trains in remote places.
So, back to Gwaii Haanas, the national park/biosphere that forms the lower half of Haida Gwaii. Before I keeled over and lay under a tree getting gently nibbled by an array of blood sucking beasties, I was paying attention to the guide and boat driver (captain?). The Haida people have fought for decades to preserve their land and it's environment. They fought the loggers to stop removing centuries old trees, they fought to protect it with park status and now they are fighting the oil companies.
To protect the land from theft of ancient artefacts or damage to the environment, Haida Watchmen (and women) are posted throughout in cabins and live there in frugal (though beautiful) surroundings. In the 1960's, before national park status, there were a number of thefts of ancient totem poles and carvings. The Haida Watchman goes way back in cultural history and legends and today also helps the Haida maintain a claim to the land with continual usage.
The Haida – and all of the Canadian inhabitants of the island – are passionate about the environment. They see how their culture and the natural world cannot be separated. When I was planning to come here, I thought it was great as it had two areas of personal interest; natural beauty and wilderness and art/culture. It took me a couple of days to realise that these were completely entwined and, ultimately, all part of the same whole.
This last picture is taken from the ferry on my last morning.

At minimum there will be a 1 week or possibly 4-5 week delay on shipping and communication via Email.

When you see all these WATIAN shirts at their next show it will make you want to burn all your other shirts for not being Black Metal enough and be one of those guys who ONLY wears one bands shirts. You'll walk by and hear people say "There goes "WATIAN guy" whats his deal?" And you'll be so stoked because people call you that.

Apparently when you open a store and put things up for sale and sell them all but there are still people out there who want said thing or things you have to make more of them so people can buy them. So that's what we did. Its genius really, we call it "Restocking". Were trademarking the idea though so no one else can do it.

#lowest car insurance rates
Cheap Car Insurance in Phoenix, AZ
Do you need auto insurance in Phoenix. At AutoInsuranceEZ.com, you will find the best insurance rates close to you. To obtain free auto insurance quotes from the top rated providers today, enter your zip code into the quote box on this page.
Phoenix isn't just the largest city in Arizona; it's also the capital. When you think of Phoenix, the first pictures to pop into your mind may be scenes of the old west or a retirement community, but that barely scratches the surface of this city. The economic climate of Phoenix is very friendly to business and, when combined with the city's low living expenses, also makes it a great place to live for people with families.
- Fun fact: did you know that Phoenix is #1 on the list of Top 101 cities with the highest number of days clear of clouds ? Learn more about Phoenix, AZ .
Average Phoenix Car Insurance Quotes Cheapest Rates Guaranteed!
Car insurance in Phoenix can cost about $1,700 on average, which is a delightful 1% cheaper than Maricopa County. Unfortunately, this is more than double what most Arizona residents pay for their car insurance. Keep reading to discover ways to make your Phoenix auto insurance more affordable!
Auto insurance carriers contemplate several factors when assessing insurance quotes, including marital status, Type of vehicle owned, how old your vehicle is, your driving distance to work, and current insurance coverage and limits. Also keep in mind that premiums vary from company to company. To verify you're still paying the most affordable rate, compare cheap Phoenix auto insurance quotes online.
Phoenix Car Insurance Factors
There is a range of many items which might factor into the rate quotes you obtain. Even though a portion of these elements aren't really anything you can do something about, a few of them are elements which you can change for the better. Here are some components which might alter your car insurance premium:
Your Zip Code
Your auto insurance rates may differ depending on where you call home. In general, highly populated cities have higher auto insurance rates because the extra amount of drivers on the road increases the likelihood of an accident! The population of Phoenix is 1,601,587 and the median income is $47,085.
Auto thefts
Auto theft is a major problem, especially in densely populated cities. If your location and/or vehicle model put you at a greater risk for theft, you may have trouble finding low-cost car insurance. The total number of stolen vehicles in Phoenix was 7,724 back in 2010.
Driving distance to wor k
For the average motorist, their commute to work in Phoenix can last anywhere from 30-35 minutes, while some commutes might only take around 20 minutes. With commute times like this, it's no wonder nearly 15% of workers choose to carpool. Around 70% still prefer to drive their own car to work, though.
It's an insurance industry secret that having a higher education will get you a reduced rate on your auto insurance. Nearly 25% of all motorists in Phoenix have not yet completed high school, with a slightly smaller number of drivers (around 23%) do possess a high school diploma or an equivalent thereof.
Phoenix reigns supreme when it comes to community colleges and technical schools. You've undoubtedly heard of the University of Phoenix; while most of its students take advantage of the school's online degree programs, their birthplace and home still remains in Arizona. Full-time students looking for a bachelor's degree have the option of Attending the Arizona State University Phoenix campus or Grand Canyon University.
Unfortunately for most insurance companies, a simple internet search can reveal many of their trade secrets. But even with the proper information, it can still be difficult for you as an individual to figure out your risk profile and find low-cost insurance. Make sure you do your due diligence before you commit to your next car insurance policy. See how much you can save on Arizona auto insurance .

Classic Baker Gurvitz Army 1975 Live Performance To See DVD Release In February
The Baker Gurvitz Army came into existence when former Gun and Three Man Army members Paul and Adrian Gurvitz joined forces with Baker in 1974.
The Baker Gurvitz Army was the first real musical project for Baker since the short-lived band Salt in 1972 and Ginger Baker's Airforce some two years prior to that. This live recording was filmed in a German television studio in early February 1975 for broadcast. The band were at that time promoting their second album 'Elysian Encounter'.
The total playing time of the studio based film runs to over sixty minutes and follows the band's set list of the period drawing on tracks from both of their then available albums, the self titled 'Baker Gurvitz Army' and 'Elysian Encounter'.

Step 5. If you feel comfortable as an Internet sleuth, move on to discover how to evaluate web sites.
The University of California, Berkeley has an exercise in evaluating web sites. Essentially a WebQuest on evaluating sites, this activity is used to show UC Berkeley students why it is important to evaluate the source of information on the web. Try the activity yourself.
Step 6. Teach your students to think as they search the Internet.
Alan November asks, "Is your high school teaching students to access the Internet for research?" If so, he points out that "it is essential that students also learn how to validate the information. The Internet is a place where you can find 'proof" of essentially any belief system that you can imagine. And, for too many students, 'If it is on the Internet, it is true.' " Read his entire article, titled Teaching Zach to Think [Note: this link opens on a new page]. Alan wrote this for the September 1998 issue of High School Principal Magazine.
Step 7. Learn to use Boolean Logic in your searching
"Boolean searching is named after George Boole, a British mathematician (1815-1864), who wrote about logical ways to formulate precise queries using true-false connectors or "operators" between concepts. The true-false nature of Boolean logic, as this system is commonly called, makes it compatible with binary logic used in digital computers. It has become the conventional basis for searching most computerized systems." Quoted from Joe Barker (email@example.com) from "Best Stuff on the Web" – Copyright 2002 The Teaching Library, University of California, Berkeley, CA. See a two-page .pdf document about using the primary operators.
Step 8. Use four Nets for better searching
Dr. Bernie Dodge, co-developer of the WebQuest concept, suggests using NETS as an acronym for remembering a way to improve your search results. The NETS acronym comes from his suggestion to: "start narrow, use exact phrases, trim the URL, and seek similar pages." For a more complete explanation of this suggestion, see his page posted on the San Diego State University domain.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (Oct. 11, 2013) – The U.S. Men's National Team utilized a second-half attacking surge to secure a 2-0 win against Jamaica that clinched the top spot in the Hexagonal for a third straight FIFA World Cup Qualifying cycle. The match was played in front of a sold-out crowd of 18,467 at Sporting Park.
The U.S. victory, combined with Costa Rica's 1-0 loss to Honduras earlier in the evening, made the Americans' spot atop the final CONCACAF qualifying group unassailable with one match left to play.
The U.S. sits atop the group with 19 points (6-2-1), followed by Costa Rica (4-2-3, 15 points) and Honduras (4-3-2, 14 points). The USA and Costa Rica have qualified for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and Honduras has assured itself at least a spot in a playoff against the Oceania region representative New Zealand.
Midfielder Graham Zusi, who stars for Major League Soccer's Sporting Kansas City, and forward Jozy Altidore provided the scoring punch with goals in the 77th and 81st minutes, respectively. The victory provided the USA with a perfect 5-0-0 record in home qualifying games during this cycle. The USA out-scored its opposition 8-0 over the five matches.
Goalkeeper Tim Howard, who wore the captain's armband, earned the his 33rd international clean sheet to move into sole possession of second place all-time ahead of National Soccer Hall of Famer Tony Meola.
The U.S. MNT will wrap up 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying on the road against Panama on Tuesday, Oct. 15, at Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama City. The game kicks off at 9:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on beIN SPORT. Fans can also follow on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and on Twitter @ussoccer.
During the match, U.S. Soccer announced that the U.S. MNT would be playing Austria on Nov. 19 in Vienna. Further game details will be announced shortly. The USA will also face Scotland at the famed Hampden Park on Nov. 15 at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN2, WatchESPN and UniMas.
After a subpar first half, the Americans turned up the heat in front of an appreciative crowd during the second half and finally broke through with 13 minutes left in the game. It was Zusi, a halftime substitute for Landon Donovan, who delighted his hometown fans, cutting a low shot into the lower left corner off an assist from Alejandro Bedoya.
Altidore sealed Jamaica's fate with an 81st-minute goal, easily finishing a left-footed shot into a wide open net after Edgar Castillo calmly crossed the ball in from the left side with a rolling pass just above the six-yard box. Altidore's 21st international goal moved him into a tie with Bruce Murray for sixth on the all-time MNT scoring list.
Jamaica's best scoring threat actually came on the final shot of the game as Theo Robinson's close-range blast from the right side was batted away by Howard to preserve the shutout. The USA has now posted 10 shutouts in 2013. Howard made five saves as he improved to 8-2-0 on the year with four shutouts.
Additional Notes:
- With the victory, the U.S. MNT improved to 26-9-6 under head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Those 26 wins tie him for fourth all-time with Steve Sampson (26-22-14 from 1995-98).
- Landon Donovan made his 40th appearance in World Cup Qualifying and played his 154th career game overall. He is the USA's all-time record holder in World Cup Qualifying games and is now 10 overall appearances behind record holder Cobi Jones (164 games).
- Striker Aron Johannsson made his first start and earned his third cap. He was paired up front alongside Jozy Altidore in a 4-4-2 formation. Johannsson's change of association from Iceland to the U.S. was approved earlier this year. The 22-year-old who was born in Mobile, Ala. made his U.S. MNT debut on Aug. 14 during the USA's come-from-behind 4-3 victory at Bosnia-Herzegovina.
- Left back DaMarcus Beasley tied Claudio Reyna for fifth on the all-time caps list by playing in his 112th game. Beasley leads this year's team with 15 starts, and he is tied for the team lead with Eddie Johnson with 15 appearances.
- Tim Howard and Geoff Cameron made their 13th appearances in this World Cup Qualifying cycle, trailing only Clint Dempsey (14 games, 14 starts). Howard has started in 13 of the 15 World Cup Qualifying matches.
- Midfielder Mix Diskerud made his first start in World Cup Qualifying and his second appearance in qualifying overall.
- The U.S. MNT moved to 15-3-2 on the year. The 15 victories are a record for a calendar year, topping the previous mark of 13 wins in 2005 and 2009.
- The U.S. won its 12th straight home game, a record streak that began with a 4-3 victory against Germany on June 2 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. The USA's previous record was 10 straight wins from June 15, 2008, to July 11, 2009.
- The USA is now 13-1-8 all-time against Jamaica, which includes a 5-1-6 record in World Cup Qualifying.
- Jamaica has now officially been eliminated from the FIFA World Cup Qualifying contention. Jamaica entered the game against the U.S. still mathematically in the running for a fourth-place playoff spot to face Oceania region winner New Zealand.
- Before the game, former U.S. Men's National Team forwards Joe-Max Moore and Peter Vermes were inducted to the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Also during Induction 2013, presented by Eurosport, George Vecsey of the New York Times was honored as the 2013 Colin Jose Media Award recipient.

Mosques fail to offer enough space for worshippers at regular Friday prayers for Muslims in two prominent cities of the Uyghur Autonomous Region of China: Urumchi and Kashgar. People have to take to the streets and squares without bothering others. The Idkha Mosque in downtown Kashgar is the largest mosque in the region. More than 30,000 people join the Eid prayers performed in the square that also hosts the mosque. The Idkha Mosque was built in 1442 and was enlarged three times. Around 700 people can perform prayers in the closed area of the mosque.
There are 28,000 clerics (24,000 appointed to mosques) officially assigned to the Uyghur Autonomous Region. There are schools teaching lessons on the Quran in the local towns that offer courses lasting two to three months. Graduates of elementary and high schools are admitted to these schools. China has nine years of compulsory education during which no religious courses are offered. There are 10 Quran courses in China. The Xinjiang Quran School is the only officially recognized school for teaching the Quran in Xinjiang Uyghur region in China. It is also the only school that teaches the Quran in the Uyghur language in China. The hadiths are recited in Arabic but the explanations are in Uyghur. Students study for five years in the school to receive their qualifications and Muslim graduates who are appointed to serve the people are given a monthly allowance. There are 10 different ethnic Muslim groups in Xinjiang and those other than the Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and Huis are able to communicate with each other. The graduates of the school teach the Quran to the public and some work as members of the local popular congress. The Chinese Religious Affairs Directorate and the Chinese Islamic Affairs Department regulate the appointment of students abroad. Of these, 37 students continued their education in Egypt. The Huis have nine other Quran schools in other parts of China. The Huis teach in the Chinese language.
The construction of the Xinjiang Quran School started in 1983 and the school was completed in 1987. It receives financial aid from the state and the Chinese government gave 250 million yuan in 2012 to construct a huge new school that now hosts 300 students and 70 teachers. They train clerics in eight undergraduate and three pre-undergraduate programs. Mainly religious and cultural courses are offered, with cultural courses constituting 3 percent of the curriculum. The cultural classes include ethnic and religious policies. Uyghur literature, Arab language and literature, and history are also being taught. Seventy percent of the courses are focused on religious studies, which include studying the Quran, recital, tawjeed (rules of recitation), methodology, Islamic jurisprudence, Islamic theology and culture, the life of the Prophet Muhammad and Arabic grammar. Male high school graduates aged between 18 and 22 are admitted to the school in a two-stage exam.
The Xinjiang Quran School is a religious school that trains clerics. They do not admit female students. There are three different types of religious education: clerical school, Quran courses and Quran schools. Women are allowed to receive religious training from their fathers or husbands at home.
The school offers help every year for those who would like to perform the pilgrimage in Mecca. The pilgrims have to meet several conditions, including having sufficient financial resources, being healthy and able to travel. Every year, nearly 14,000 people in China travel to Mecca for the pilgrimage. Of these, about 3,500 sign up for the pilgrimage in Xinjiang. Turkish Religious Affairs Directorate President Mehmet Görmez has paid a visit to Xinjiang twice. He was appointed president after he returned from Urumchi. For this reason, it is argued that Urumchi brings good luck.

It is important that residents closely monitor weather conditions, heed warnings from the National Weather Service and local officials, and remember "If You Can't See The Ground, Turn Around" when approaching a flooded roadway.
What to do when driving or walking in flood areas:
• Never walk or drive in the flood waters. Many people are killed by driving or walking on roads and bridges that are covered by water. Even though the water might look only inches deep, it could be much deeper and have strong currents. It only takes 2 feet of water to carry away a car, and 6 inches of swiftly moving water will sweep a person off his feet.
• Find an alternate route around the flooded area. If you are approaching a flooded roadway, turn around and take an alternate route, even though vehicles in front of you may have passed through the high water. Barricades are for your protection. Do not drive through them.
• Never underestimate the swiftness of the water. Flooded creeks and streams are unpredictable. Even though the surface water may be smooth, the water is moving very fast.
• Don't assume your vehicle is safe. High water in streets and intersections will quickly stall motor vehicles. Most trucks, four-wheel drives and sport utility vehicles also are susceptible to being swept away by high water.
• Never stay with your car in a flooded area. If your car stalls, abandon it immediately and climb to higher ground. Many deaths have resulted from attempts to move stalled vehicles.
• Never let children play near canals or storm drains when the water is rising or high. Swimming skills have nothing to do with surviving a flooded creek or stream.
• Beware of items being washed downstream. Debris or garbage in the water may include tires, shopping carts and furniture. These items can easily injure or trap a person under water.
• Flood time is not a time for play. Flooded streams and rivers are not safe for recreational boating. Many canoeists and kayakers have been rescued from dangerous rapids in flood-swollen streams and rivers.
• Stay away from storm drains, irrigation ditches, creeks and river areas.
To report road flooding issues, please contact the Collier County Road Maintenance Division at (239) 252-8924.
The Immokalee Bulletin is published every Thursday.

Fin & Tail Rot are a bacterial infection caused by predator type, life threatening bacteria such as
Aeromonas, Pseudomonas or Flexibacter that are present in great numbers in every pond fish and koi pond.
These bacteria take advantage of stressed koi and pond fish. It is not uncommon for secondary infections to accrue such as fungal infections "white cotton wool-like tufts".
Most of the time fin & tail rot are caused by stress, caused by, rough handling, poor koi pond water conditions or even fear.
When you see the beginning of fin & tail rot start looking for other koi fish health problems that might exist. Fin & Tail rot are the"Red Flag" for other koi pond or health problems.
Fin & tail rot can also be caused by a weakened immune system which could be brought on by stressful conditions or sickness.
One of the best treatments for koi fin and tail rot is medicated koi food.

Motivate Backers for Success
Rewards crowdfunding is a simple process that requires commitment and persistence, so it can be frustrating when you don''t see immediate results. There are lots of reasons why campaigns don''t get support, but the single biggest factor is simply that the message is just not hitting home with potential backers.
It''s easy to say that crowdfunding allows you (potentially) to reach people all over the world, but research has shown that backers respond to projects which are either emotionally or geographically close to them so here are a few pointers to help you connect with your community of potential backers:
1. Prepare your project – think about both groups when you're creating your campaign. Don't offer too many rewards that are limited to geographic backers, make sure your local area is emphasised but also clearly demonstrate the project impact - who will your project affect and why? Also remember to keep the tone light and friendly, and include some personal background to add that special touch to your project.
2. Get close to backers – starting with friends, family and your local community is obvious and often overlooked! All the people that know you well enough to support you, or those that will be proud to say someone from their hometown, school, community is doing something amazing. Tap into this pool by speaking to your close contacts, attending local events, putting up posters and handing out flyers, and contacting your local media channels.
3. Emotionally engage – find the people who believe in what you are trying to do, and want to be a part of making it happen. Reach this crowd by planning regular promotion, targeting specific interest groups, asking to be included in relevant newsletters, blogs and videos, and participating in chats, webinars or events. This group is harder to reach because these people may be spread all over the globe, so you need to have a consistent message, regularly communicated and using as many channels as possible to spread the word about your project.
Of course, there is much more to crowdfunding and if you're thinking about a project, do some research and read everything you can about crowdfunding to get some useful tips. Our blog and e-book are great places to start, just ask!

As the mayor of Newark, N.J., Cory Booker was always protective of his personal life, particularly when it came to romantic relationships. In fact, he was so evasive that many questioned his sexuality, believing him to be gay.
But he may not be guarding his relationships so heavily as the newly elected senator of New Jersey.
Rumor has it that Booker is dating Hollywood entertainment lawyer Bianca Levin, Page Six has revealed. According to the news site, the two have been seeing each other since Levin co-hosted a fundraiser in West Hollywood in June for his successful Senate campaign.
Levin, who is 36, graduated from Yale Law and is a partner at the Gang Tyre Ramer & Brown talent firm, which works with some of Hollywood's A-list, including Steven Spielberg and Clint Eastwood. Levin represents Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, among other stars, Page Six noted. That being said, she's a very busy lady, with a very busy boyfriend.
"Bianca is a very accomplished woman and has started to accompany Booker to certain events. But both have very demanding jobs—he in D.C. and Bianca in Los Angeles," a source told Page Six.

What? Another movie getting turned into a TV series, are studios running out of original ideas?
Wow, didn't know it premiered. I have to go and watch it now, the trailers seem so badass xD
Hope this will be another heart-warming Pixar movie!
Man, It must be fun being part of the Avengers xD Both in real life or in comic form.
Wow netflix original? Awesome, netflix really knows how to create good shows!
Can't wait to see the portrayal of Dr. Strange, and also how this movie ties in to all the Marvel movies.
Most people, especially those who are not from the Philippines, won't be too excited for this xD But I really liked this film for its iconic one-liners that still remain quite "powerful" to date.
The only thing that made this movie bearable for me is that Lily Collins was really attractive. Anyway, the 5 years thing was riddled with conveniences that made their decisions of being with one another justifiable. Real life just doesn't work that way. Or am I being to pessimistic?
I loved this movie! It was over-the-top, but that's what made it so funny!
Oh, and the Dr. Freeze puns! Omg were the bad. hahahaha
But as a kid watching this movie for the first time, I was quite entertained, but when I watch it now--yup, it's cringe worthy.
Where do people get these costumes? xD I've seen a lot of hilarious clips with these t-rex get ups.
Time travel confirmed! Lol xD
Ok, generally speaking any Hollywood adaptation of an anime series or cartoon series ends really badly. Take for example Dragon Ball whatever, and The Last Airbender--those two movies were shit.
Me personally, I do hope this movies is awesome. Death note is intense and makes your mind work, but the actor playing the role of Light is "eh" Guess we'll know when the movie comes out.
That took did take a lot of patience. I could never imagine myself doing that xD
What's the movie's style of humor? This might be interesting.
My body is ready for the next Star Wars
HAHA after 23 films It makes sense Mr. Bond has racked up quite the amount of children. Ohhh maybe that's gonna be the next villain O.o
Wasn't there rumors of that happening? xD Or what
Wow, this guys is hilarious back then. Too bad recently he kinda fell out of the radar, huh? Well, I guess that's what is happening to most comics nowadays.
It is like heroes, but more leaned on comedy and doesn't have a complicated plot. Well, for the first few seasons I guess.
Yeah it's more of a shock value kind of film. But if you're looking for a movie to see with friends, this one takes the cake xD
Stars from GoT don't really do well in other film projects based from what I've seen. Too bad this sequel sucked ass xD
I bet this guy watched to much of Mission Impossible xD

Island Lake To Host. Island Lake To Host. They'll Know How. Yeah They'll Know How.
Written by Esquire
April 13, 2011
April 13, 2011
We recently went on a cat boarding trip to Island Lake Lodge. The boarding was exceptional, but enough about that. What's most important was the amazing food we had. I am told we ate Duck, Salmon, Beef, and Pork. I couldn't tell the difference. It all tasted like glorious butter to me. This was by far the best dinning I have encountered whilst on a trip. And the wine... It flowed like the Mississippi river. From this point on two things are clear. 1- I no longer ride chair lifts, only cats. 2- I no longer eat peasant food from crowded ski chalet cafeterias.Note: I also learned it is entirely possible to gain weight while snowboarding. I'm just thrilled about that. Island Lake Lodge. Fernie, BC. ♬ Island on the coast. [audio:Island on the coast.mp3]

Cop beats elderly man after he reports a car accident
A police officer (AFP Photo / Getty Images)
TAGS: Crime, Human rights, Law, USA
An Alabama police officer beat an 84-year-old man after he called 911 to report a car accident outside of him home that involved an intoxicated driver.
Dorsey Henderson called 911 to report the accident after he noticed that the driver was severely drunk. Henderson told the driver that he was under citizen's arrest and told him to remain near the vehicle until the police arrived.
Minutes later Fairhope Police Officer Trent Scott arrived. Henderson explained the driver appeared to be very intoxicated and had been acting belligerent, and that he placed him under a citizen's arrest. The officer however scolded Henderson and told him there is "no such thing as citizen's arrest in Alabama," and to "get out of the way, old man," according to the Courthouse News Service.
The man said he was merely trying to help. But, the officer did not care. He responded to Henderson's aid by grabbing him and throwing him to the ground breaking both his nose and glasses, all while Henderson's wife watched helplessly from her wheelchair inside the home.
His wife, on the phone with 911, told the dispatcher that the cop was "beating the hell out of my husband."
Following the beating the officer cuffed Henderson and put him in the back seat of his patrol car. He was never placed under arrest.
When an ambulance arrived the officer sent it away, telling the medics that the "old man" had no need for medical assistance.
Sometime later a superior officer arrived at the scene and ordered the ambulance to return. After Henderson was taken to the hospital he was found to have a broken nose, multiple contusions and a torn rotator cuff.
The police officer remains on duty without reprimand from the department.

What Is The Glass-Steagall Act & Why Do The GOP Hate It?
Glass-Steagall Act » New Deal 2.0 <----- Thank You, You are AWESOME!!!!
Glass-Steagall ActMonday, 05/4/2009 - 3:30 pm by Jason Selfe
[Note: updated on 2.16.2011]What is the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933?The Glass-Steagall Act was introduced during the Great Depression by former Treasury Secretary Sen. Carter Glass (D-VA) and Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee Rep. Henry B. Steagall (D-AL). As one of the first acts of FDR's New Deal, the legislation segregated commercial banks from securities markets, established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and enhanced the regulatory powers of the Federal Reserve over banks.What's the significance?The stock market collapsed in 1929; customers rushed to withdraw their funds, and by 1933, roughly 9,000 banks in the United States had failed. The Glass-Steagall Act and the FDIC it created were attempts to restore public trust in the deposit system and stem the rush to withdraw. The act also recognized inherent risks in securities markets, making it impossible for banks to serve simultaneously as brokerages.The act's repeal in 1999 paved the way for bank investments in, among other things, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations—the tipping points of the current meltdown. This has led some commentators, including James K. Galbraith, to argue that the repeal of Glass-Steagall helped fuel the financial crisis.
Who's talking about it?Marshall Auerback warns that FinReg simply keeps the post-Glass-Steagall status quo…Robert Reich thinks FinReg falls short for not reinstating Glass-Steagall…Bill Moyers and Michael Winship of Progressive Democrats of America question the honesty of Lawrence Summers as chief economic advisor and gatekeeper to President Obama, given his past connection to Wall Street's fight against Glass-Steagall … Blogger William Kaufman looks at the bipartisan origins of Glass-Steagall's repeal and its connection to the current financial crisis… Sen. Wayne Allard (R-CO), former ranking member on the senate Securities, Insurance, and Investment Subcommittee, still supports the repeal of Glass-Steagall, arguing that it was necessary for the United States to remain competitive in a global market…and Kevin Drum of Mother Jones wonders whether the failure of other financial institutions shows the Glass-Steagall repeal isn't really to blame…Bill Black notes that Peter Wallison's dissent on the FCIC's findings noted only the repeal of Glass-Steagall as a regulation that was loosened, but there are so many more…Lyndon La Rouche thinks anyone who opposes reinstated the Act immediately is "criminally insane".

T-Mac Wants to Be a Pro Pitcher
Is it Michael Jordan redux? Former NBA All-Star Tracy McGrady is trying a comeback, but this time as a pitcher. On Tuesday, McGrady tweeted, "Been working out at Constellation Field w Sugar Land Skeeters. Working on my pitch. Childhood Dream coming true." To make the Atlantic League team, he has also sought out the help of legendary pitcher Roger Clemens. However, Clemens seems to think that dream is still far from reality, telling a reporter, "He's not anywhere close to pitch for the Sugar Land Skeeters. The bullpen I watched him throw he was throwing 83 maybe 85 mph. He's still trying to locate it." Ouch.

It's no secret that I love a clean and well-organized space. There's just something about it that makes me feel like energy is flowing in a positive direction. When it comes to office spaces, it also makes me that much more productive. Chic furniture and stylish accessories is all it takes to create a functional space that mixes business with pleasure. And now for some visual inspiration.
A simple colour palette creates a clean, open space.
Gold accessories and cheeky notepads add a touch of sophistication without being too serious.
A fur throw for a cozy touch.
Fresh flowers and fashionable art define your style and add life (and a fresh fragrance) to your space.
An inspiration board is always a good idea to keep creativity flowing.
Whether it's from a chandelier or large windows, lots of light is a must.
Don't be afraid to add a bold print to your walls. You can always add balance to the pattern with a simple photograph.
Chanel is always a stylish touch.

Hello, everyone!
I interviewed Ben Lang, Co-Founder of Mapme, and he told me a bit about his startup. Mapme was considered by Business Insider and Inc one of the hottest Israeli Startups of the moment. Read the interview and feel free to comment below!
1- How would you describe Mapme? Where did the idea come from?
Ben: We empower anyone to build smart and beautiful maps for free and without any coding required. Came from Mapped in israel, people were asking to build similar maps but of all different types.
2- How do you get feedback from your users? How do you know if the product is solving their needs?
Ben: We have a Facebook group for our most passionate users (map builders). They leave feedback there. I share product news there. Its a great place to know what problems we're solving, and what we're missing yet.
3- What is the next step for Mapme? What do you want to achieve in the next months?
Ben: Were in the process of opening the platform for anyone to use. We want to make it incredibly easy and fast to set up a map. Our goal is to have thousands of maps built on our platform by end of year.
4- When should an entrepreneur look for investors / external investment? When an entrepreneur shouldn't look for investors / external investment?
Ben: At the latest point possible. The longer you wait the better. You want to be in a position that the investor is coming after you. That will get you a much better deal. If you're too early on, have no users, traction, product than best to wait.
Ben: At the latest point possible. The longer you wait the better. You want to be in a position that the investor is coming after you. That will get you a much better deal. If you're too early on, have no users, traction, product than best to wait.
5- What was the biggest challenge you have faced until today in your startup?
prioritizing is really difficult

Ben: Someone solving a problem for a group of people.
7- What are the advantages of being an entrepreneur in Israel? And the disadvantages?Ben: Amazing community here, lots of development talent, Cheaper than Silicon Valley. Its far from the rest of the world. No local market here.

Vulnerability Assessment & Network Security Forums
If through a vulnerability assessment, a network security issue is detected for the vulnerability below, applying the appropriate security patches in a timely matter is very important. If you have detected that your system has already been compromised, following CERT's Network Security recovery document will assist with recommended steps for system recovery.
Home >> Browse Vulnerability Assessment Database >> Debian Local Security Checks >> [DSA245] DSA-245-1 dhcp3
Vulnerability Assessment Details
[DSA245] DSA-245-1 dhcp3
DSA-245-1 dhcp3
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment
Florian Lohoff discovered a bug in the dhcrelay causing it to send a
continuing packet storm towards the configured DHCP server(s) in case
of a malicious BOOTP packet, such as sent from buggy Cisco switches.
When the dhcp-relay receives a BOOTP request it forwards the request
to the DHCP server using the broadcast MAC address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
which causes the network interface to reflect the packet back into the
socket. To prevent loops the dhcrelay checks whether the
relay-address is its own, in which case the packet would be dropped.
In combination with a missing upper boundary for the hop counter an
attacker can force the dhcp-relay to send a continuing packet storm
towards the configured dhcp server(s).
This patch introduces a new command line switch -c maxcount and
people are advised to start the dhcp-relay with dhcrelay -c 10
or a smaller number, which will only create that many packets.
The dhcrelay program from the "dhcp" package does not seem to be
affected since DHCP packets are dropped if they were apparently
relayed already.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.0+3.0.1rc9-2.2.
The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain dhcp3 packages.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.2-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your dhcp3 package when you are using
the dhcrelay server.

Following House passage of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) bill focused on information sharing, the attention now shifts to the Senate, where key Democrats are calling for a more comprehensive approach that is favored by the White House.
The House passed its bill (H.R. 624) April 18 on a 288-127 vote, leaving out key provisions urged by the White House, such as language to promote cybersecurity standards for critical parts of the private sector (12 PVLR 671, 4/22/13).
"While information sharing is an important piece in our effort to modernize our outdated cybersecurity laws, it is only one of many elements needed to properly bolster our cyber defenses," Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a statement provided by his office April 19. "Those of us in Congress need to pay close attention to other vital elements of cybersecurity, especially safeguarding our critical infrastructure."
Carper said he will continue to work with Senate colleagues in coming weeks to craft bipartisan, comprehensive legislation that complements initiatives already moving forward under a cybersecurity executive order signed by President Obama in February (12 PVLR 257, 2/18/13).
Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, raised similar concerns.
A committee aide told BNA that each committee with jurisdiction over cybersecurity will likely focus on a different aspect of the issue. Rockefeller's panel is in the process of drafting its piece, the aide said.
In addition to Carper and Rockefeller, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) is also expected to introduce cybersecurity legislation.
"We are currently drafting a bipartisan information sharing bill and will proceed as soon as we come to an agreement," Feinstein said in a statement provided by her office April 19.

San Francisco Film Society held the opening press conference for the 58th San Francisco International Film Festival, which runs April 23 to May 7. Executive Director Noah Cowan gave us an overview of this year's films & events, along with programmers Rachel Rosen, Rod Armstrong, Sean Uyehara & Audrey Chang.
The printed program groups over 180 films under blurry categories like "Masters," "Global Visions" & "Vanguard" but is difficult to navigate. There is definitely a strand about technology, starting with opening night film Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine, a new documentary by Alex Gibney. Mr. Gibney will also be interviewed onstage in a separate Cinema Visionaries event. Alex Winter's documentary Deep Web explores the trial of Silk Road owner Ross Ulbricht. Special effects master Douglas Trumbull will discuss new immersive cinema experiences in a State of Cinema talk, & Nonny de la Peña will talk about using technology to create immersive journalism.
Guillermo del Toro & Richard Gere are among the special guests receiving awards. Performance artist Miranda July will do a live event involving audience participation. The Kronos Quartet will accompany a film constructed from World War I footage. Films about music include a Brian Wilson biopic & documentaries about Nina Simone & The Residents. The documentaries City of Gold, about food critic Jonathan Gold, & Very Semi-Serious, a look at The New Yorker's cartoonists, should be entertaining. Monte-Cristo, a 3-and-a-half-hour French silent film from 1929, will be presented with a recorded soundtrack as part of an afternoon with subtitler Lenny Borger.
Ms. Rosen announced 3 films not in printed program: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, The Overnight & Ride, with Helen Hunt acting, directing & writing. Mr. Cowan tried to end the event without a Q&A, but a few media representatives piped up with questions anyway. I felt sorry for the publicity staff, who had to check in attendees using a multi-page list that did not have our names in alphabetical order.

There are many ways of making people welcome - and today we meet two women who welcomed Jesus to their home in very different ways.
Martha welcomes Him by offering hospitality - good food - good wine. Her sister Mary welcomes Him by sitting with Him and listening to all that He has to say. As is so often the case, different ways of doing things leads to annoyance and argument. Martha is so preoccupied with organizing the meal that she forgets her role as friend and listener. Mary is so preoccupied with her role as friend and listener that she forgets that Jesus might need something to eat!
Martha appeals to Jesus and tells him off for encouraging Mary to sit around and listen rather than helping. Jesus does not take offence - but reminds her that there is a difference in making someone welcome - and getting hot and bothered about it.
Jesus' response must have taken her by surprise, for he tells her that "Mary has chosen the part and it shall not be taken from her". Essentially, Jesus told Martha that she was not being really present to him.
This story shows us that sometimes the actions we undertake, even with the best of intentions, make us lose sight of what really matters. Jesus is not telling Martha that her work is not important, nor is he commending Mary for doing nothing. He is simply reminding his followers that if we want to serve him we must first listen to him.
Sometimes, it is more important to "be" rather than to "do". We need to be people of prayer before we can be people of action.
Otherwise our actions can be about us and it is possible to do good things for all kinds of reasons like, for example, our need to be needed or to impress others.
Such behaviour can easily undermine the message of the good news which must always be about Jesus and his kingdom. Jesus wants us to be attentive to His presence.
Every day of our life we are opening or closing our door to that presence in the way we live. The response to our Psalm on this Sunday reminds us "The just will live in the presence of the Lord��.
Fr Kevin O'Shea, C.M.
