Water regulates all bodily functions, so it is safe to say it is of outmost importance to our organism. It is the main source of energy, it improves skin vitality, it acts as an antioxidant, flushing out oxidants and other toxins. If you do not drink enough water, you can use an antioxidant for detox purposes. It is important to mention that 80% of the brain consists of water, so dehydration can lead to major concentration loss, and in some drastic situations even cause a mental disorder. Several days of complete dehydration leads to certain death.
Most people suffer from chronic dehydration which leads to body being filled with toxins, and that can lead to various diseases such as arthritis, asthma, depression, diabetes, gastritis, heartburn, migraine, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, lower back pains, neck pains, osteoporosis, kidney
disease, etc.
Instead of water, people tend to drink alcohol, coffee and other beverages that worsen the dehydration process. To increase water intake you can choose a healthy, refreshing and tasty
Herbalife drink with aloe vera. However, you shouldn't drink water excessively or faster than our body can process it, since that can also have an effect on our internal organs. Ideally, you should drink 1l of fluids per every 25kg of body weight, where most of it should be water, and some can be fruit juices, herbal teas and broths. Drink more in the morning, and avoid drinking it during meals, because it can disturb stomach acids and proper digestion. Physical activity requires an increase of water intake, but in a controlled manner. Also, it is recommended to drink bottled water, since tap water often contains microorganisms, heavy metals, chlorine, fluorine and so on.
If you are trying to lose weight, drink a glass of water before your meal, because you will eat less. Besides, water speeds up your metabolism, especially cold water, since your body uses more energy to heat it up – so it burns more calories.
In conclusion, we can safely say that water is, indeed, the source of life!

The Year of the Rabbit (Or "How to Make A Chinese Dragon Mask to please the finickiest of kids")
We like to celebrate a lot of holidays at my house. Usually they are actually the ones that pertain to our backgrounds (which for my melting-pot kids is anything from Russia, Spain, England, Ireland, and Poland) but sometimes we turn to outside cultures for our festivities. We've hung lights for Diwali and made Dia de los Muertos cookies.
And we always decorate for Chinese New Years. Except for this year. This year we forgot.
Months later my seven year old remembered Chinese New Year and he began to do what any poor neglected seven year old would do. He began to hound me to make something with him. He was quite specific. He wanted to make a Chinese dragon costume. A FULL costume. The kind that usually is worn by several people. No can do, I said. But I was willing to work with him to make the mask.
It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to make some again with my class! Here's what we did.
- Scissors
- 1 Milk Jug, washed well and dried.
- Newspaper, torn into strips. Around 1- 1.5 inches wide, the width of one page. But any size can work.
- Water
- Flour
- Acrylic Paint
- 1 Sheet Heavy white construction paper or craft foam
- A few additional sheets of brightly colored construction paper
|Upside-down jug with paper mache strips painted white and ready for color!
|Time to paint!
- Spend some time on the Internet looking at Chinese Dragon masks. Find some favorites and print them out for inspiration.
- Cut the jug in half from the top to the bottom. We used the side with the handle as a "nose" (although we later decided to cut the nose off!)
- Measure the child's eyes and cut eyeholes and a mouth. Take a good look at a Chinese dragon mask picture to get the right shapes.
- Make Paste of 1 parts flour to 2 parts water. There are other recipes involving glue or boiling that you can find online but this is the simplest.
- Dip strips of paper into the paste, squeeze off some excess by dragging paper through your fingers but don't make it dry. Apply it to the jug horizontally. Continue to add more strips, allowing for overlap. Do it until the mask is covered. Use shorter strips where needed such as between the eyes. Let it dry. It will take about a full day to completely dry.
- Do the next layer vertically. Alternate layers. We made 3: one horizontal, one vertical and the top one was horizontal again.
- Cover your paste and put in the frig between dryings. You can put it in the microwave for a few seconds each time you take it out.
- You can start making shapes with your paper. We added horns, big lips and bulgy eyes.
- You can do the last stage with white paper to make it more paint-ready but I just painted the last dry stage white before applying colors.
- If it needs a little more drying use a hairdryer but at a distance.
- Paint!
- Once paint is dry you can glue in teeth, add strips of colored paper as a dragon mane, add feathers or whatever you like.
Here's how my son's mask turned out!
|Happy Year of the Rabbit!

Blogging with Purpose
Those of you who have been tuning in to read my rants about suburban living, attempts at self-motivation, and the stresses of parenting while trying to find a new direction in life may notice the focus of my blog shifting a little. What's happened, you ask? Well, I'll tell you. If you remember my very first posting (and I know you all read my blogs repeatedly and can recite them by heart) I said this would be the Year of Paula. Well, I'm as surprised as anyone to be able to say it really became just that.
Here is what I've done within the last 10 months in no particular order:
- Passed the Art Teaching praxis test.
- Received my certification to teach art in NJ which now requires me to find gainful employment. No more bon-bon eating for me.
- Started sketch work on a mural being designed at the request of my town Mayor.
- Started a home-based art program "Picasso's Basement" where I have been teaching young children from my newly cleaned (although not quite renovated) basement.
- Vacuumed the floor. At least twice.
- Returned to the workforce as a substitute teacher in the local elementary and middle schools (High school schedule was too difficult to work out with my kids. Although that did not stop the automated system from attempting to retain my services as a fill-in for the male Gym Teacher. Those who know me may appropriately guffaw now.)
So here's what you'll probably see a lot more of in my future blog posts:
- Art projects and lessons
- Photos of cute kids "arting"
- Photos of my basement
- Craft ideas
- My sketches
Here's what I promise you won't ever have to see:
- Photos of me from behind picking up the mess left behind by cute kids who were busy "arting". Not to say I won't clean up but no photo of me taken from behind can be allowed to be publicly displayed. Photos of me from behind are THE main reason why digital cameras have all been equipped with a DELETE button. I promise you it's true. Check Wikipedia.
Here's what I promise to not lose:
- My sense of humor.
- My appetite.
- My mind. Here's hoping.
No more checking YouTube for cute cat videos!**
Just check in with me!
**although those darned Scottish Fold kittens sure are adorable....

Young Latin American Leaders Talk 'Flows and Shocks'
In 1940, in the midst of Nazi Germany's invasion of Europe, Julien Studley and his family fled their native Belgium to France and later to Cuba. Living in Havana proved to be a transformative experience for the adolescent Studley: For the first time in his life, Studley, a Polish Jew, no longer felt ostracized because of his ethnicity.
The experience also sparked a lifelong interest in international, particularly Latin American, affairs. In 2006, as a trustee of The New School, Studley made a donation to the university to help launch the Observatory on Latin America (OLA), an institute that creates opportunities for public debate on hemispheric processes of reform and change.
It was with great sadness that the New School community learned of Studley's passing late last year. While he couldn't be there in person, Studley was certainly there in spirit for "Flows and Shocks: Migration Networks and Economic Cycles in Latin America," an OLA-hosted lecture featuring presentations from the spring 2016 President Néstor Kirchner (PNK) Fellowship awardees.
"Julien spent many hours talking to us about his understanding of ethnicity, partly through the lens of the experience he had in Cuba," Mary Watson, executive dean of the Schools of Public Engagement, told a crowd packed into the Klein Conference Room last week. "He had the deepest love for Latin America, the OLA, and the Julien J. Studley Graduate Program in International Affairs. We honor his legacy in this lecture tonight."
At "Flows and Shocks," The New School welcomed spring 2016 PNK fellows Mónica Salmón Gomez, graduate of the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, and Laneydi Martínez Alfonso, professor and researcher from the Center for Hemispheric and U.S. Studies at the Havana University, who presented the research they had pursued, in part, during their two-week stay at The New School. The PNK Fellowship is awarded by OLA/The New School and the Universidad Nacional de San Martin, Argentina, to young professionals with an outstanding record in academia and social service.
In her talk, Salmón Gomez highlighted her work and research on transnational advocacy networks (TANs) for migrants in transit in her native country. For decades, Salmón Gomez said, the Mexican government has embraced draconian policies that have "caused the diversification of criminal activity," including the smuggling, trafficking, and kidnapping of migrants.
"This research defines the state as perpetrator," she said. "By not protecting the integrity of immigrants, government actors are culpable for these crimes."
The mission of TANs is to hold the government accountable for its actions, or lack thereof, on migrants. TANs—including international and nongovernmental organizations, research groups, foundations, media, churches, and shelters—use a variety of tactics, including public shaming of state officials, to "push the government to protect human rights."
"TANs reveal the state's negligence, lack of institutional coordination, and corruption, which have had severe consequences for the migrant population," she said. "TANs are getting stronger, working as a counterweight to the government and helping to shape public policy."
During her talk, Martínez Alfonso discussed the "transmission of economic shocks" from the U.S. economy to Latin America and the Caribbean countries. Historically, market conditions inside the United States have had a profound, and sometimes deleterious, impact on the economies of its southern neighbors. However, from 2002 to 2012, Martínez Alfonso said, "the growth differential between the United States and the Caribbean has been positive"—a reflection of the diminished impact of economic changes in the United States on Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Martínez Alfonso pointed to the resilience demonstrated by Latin American and Caribbean countries during the global economic crisis.
"The recession questioned the idea that whatever happens in the U.S. economy has a direct impact on Latin America," Martínez Alfonso said. "In 2008, the economy of the entire region slowed down, but," due, in part, to the increasing internationalization of Latin American companies as well as China's growing influence as a trade partner with the region, "the recovery in the Caribbean was actually faster than that of the United States."
Flows and Shocks was just the sort of engaging discussion that makes The New School a hothouse for critical intellectual inquiry.
"At The New School, we create an open space for dialogue on and use research to address the world's pressing social issues," Watson said. "Julien Studley was always a generous supporter of this idea."

Cyan/PDX: Where Green meets Cyan
Mar 17, 2009
"What would green building look like on Easter Island? The question applies to Earth. If people use material resources to define their status, the natural world must provide the monuments to our satisfaction. Portland developer Gerding Edlen takes the long view. From outer space, green building would look blue. That's the idea behind calling their new high-rise apartment, Cyan."
"There are many considerations that enter the design of sustainable living at Cyan. Over many years, Gerding Edlen developed the working knowledge to put together the project, choose the architects, the contractors, and the consultants. The development firm worked with top architects Thomas Hacker and GBD to realize the weave of idea and reality at Cyan."
"Gerding Edlen chose building materials with high amounts of recycled content, environmentally benign materials (bamboo cabinetry veneers), and regionally sourced materials. Non-toxic finishes used throughout the building have little or no volatile organic compounds. A waste management plan implemented during construction ensures 50–70% of all construction related materials are recycled rather than landfilled."
Neighborhood Notes points to Cyan/PDX as an example of efficient and sustainable use of space, noting elements that change our perception of space, water saving capabilities, and appliances that support renewable energy.

Clear Contrast In Tuesday's Winners: Roy Blunt and Rand Paul
|November 6, 2010
|Posted by steveparkhurst under 2010, 2010 election, gop, marco rubio, missouri, Rand Paul, Republicans
By Steve Parkhurst The Wall Street Journal's Weekend Interview features two new United States Senators from Tuesday's election, Republicans Rand Paul and Roy Blunt. As you can tell from the title The Grand New—and Old—Party, this is supposed to be a contrast between the two men. But, this whole thing borders on the absurd. Senator-elect Paul […] more

I missed this when it came out but I see that the soundtrack for the Scorsese film Shutter Island has an all-star list of contemporary compositions. as selected by Robbie Robertson. The list includes:
- Fog Tropes - Ingram Marshall
- Music For Marcel Duchamp - John Cage
- Hommage à John Cage - Nam June Paik
- Lontano - György Ligeti
- Rothko Chapel 2 - Morton Feldman
- On The Nature Of Daylight - Max Richter
- Christian Zeal And Activity - John Adams
- Suite For Symphonic Strings - Lou Harrison
- Lizard Point - Brian Eno
- Root Of An Unfocus - John Cage
- Prelude — The Bay - Ingram Marshall
- This Bitter Earth/On The Nature Of Daylight – Dinah Washington/Max Richter
By the way, last week, I tried to watch Scorsese's After Hours, a 1980s look at life in downtown NY. I got the impression it was going to be a romantic comedy of all things. Unfortunately, it proved too dark to be quirky or wry. I stopped watching after an hour.
Rdio doesn't stream the Shutter Island soundtrack and I can't find it at all on MOG. There is a Lego version of Christian Zeal and Activity although you have to wait awhile before the preaching starts.

The past few weeks, I've been enjoying some different things and have been eager to share them with you all for so long. Despite this being a very busy month because of working, driving, and spending down time with my family, I have found a few minutes to enjoy some new things and mix things up.
I'm going to do this month's favourite in a category style thingy-ma-jiggy. You know? Let's just do it.
On my Skin: Rose Water. Because I've heard so many great things about using pure, natural rose water on your skin, this month I decided to give it a go. I apply the rose water using a cotton wool pad every morning and evening. Although it hasn't drastically changed my skin, I'm finding that it is working pretty well as a toner and making my skin lovely and soft.
On my Lips: November make-up can be summed up with two little words for me: lip-tint. Despite having my mini Benefit Lip Tint for a while now, it was never something that I used too often. Now, with being in a job where I like to look good and need a lipstick to last as long as possible, the Benefit Lip Tints are my absolute best friends. They last really well, have lovely pigment and don't stain your lips too harshly.
On my Body: When my family booked a holiday for next year, I really wanted to make it my mission to be confident within myself when I'm floating about the beach in a bikini, for me this meant that I wanted to lessen the appearance of stretch marks and uneven skin around my hips (and butt). My mum had always used Bio Oil for this kind of thing so I decided to give it a go. I thought it was going to be too greasy but, actually, I'm coping with that just fine. Obviously, as I've only been using it for around 3 weeks, I am yet to see any difference but, if you'd like an update next summer on how it went, just let me know!
On a Saturday Night: The log fire got back in action this month as the nights got colder. On a weekend, we all love to gather around together and cosy up in front of the real log fire. The smell, the warmth, the flicker, and the relaxing motion is absolutely heavenly - I could definitely swap summer nights for this any day. I've tried and failed lighting it myself but it's my Dad that gets it roaring... I'm sure I'll learn in good time.
Wearing: I recently bought an oversized hoodie from Primark and it has me feeling soooo comfy. I bought it oversized so that it could be warm, cosy, but also something that wouldn't look too crazy if I left the house (like my dressing gown, for example). The one that I got is a dark grey colour and has USA written right across it. It's not the sort of thing that I would usually pick out because, I'm not really a fan of meaningless slogans, but when an item of clothing can provide me with that level of comfort, the girl gotta get it.
Listening to: I am not the kind of person to listen to music 24/7, in fact, I work better in silence or with the TV on. However, car journeys in November have included listening to Paloma Faiths new songs, especially 'Cry Baby'. As well as this, I thought it was only necessary to dip my toe into a bit of Christmas music. I don't think there's one Christmas song that I can say I love, I pretty music rock out to any of them. I think, if I had to choose any, it would be the classics like 'All I want for Christmas is You' and 'Merry Christmas Everyone'.
What have you been enjoying this past month?

The ER is open 24/7. It provides unrestricted access to the public. Nurses and doctors are trained to help all in need of medical attention. However, the staff is exposed constantly to an un-screened and potentially high-risk population for violent behavior.
I have two sisters that are emergency room nurses. They have both dealt with violent patients. Both have been hit, kicked and threatened. One of my sisters was even seriously injured by an inmate that was receiving care. Unfortunately, most people are not aware of the dangers for nurses in the ER.
ER nurses can deal with individuals that are suicidal, schizophrenic, drug addictive, and/or violent criminals all in a shift.
When dealing with a violent offender, the police can call for back-up. They have a variety of weapons to defend themselves with such as: OC Spray, ASP batons, and a gun. Additionally, a police officer also has the authority to place the offender in a holding cell. Once the fight is over, the criminal is transported to the hospital for care. The criminal arrives at the hospital. The ER reality -- nurses deal with the same violent criminals without the back-up, weapons, or authority to place in a cell.
I have had people tell me that the nurse can strap the violent patient to the bed and call security. Yes, they can; however, how will they get straps on a strung out, violent criminal who attempted to harm the police? Nurses are not trained in self defense or take down procedures.
If a person potentially overdosing PCP is transported to the ER, the ER nurses are dealing with the same violent, strong, crazed individual that the police would. If a criminal is injured, the police take them to the hospital. These criminals may have raped, burned or killed innocent people. Again, nurses do not have the same defense training as a police officer.
What about the mental ill patient that has not committed a crime but is in need of medical treatment? These patients also pose a tremendous risk for the people that give them care. These patients often do not come into the hospital with the police. The nurses may never see any security with these individuals, but this situation can still be very dangerous for all who care for this patient.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2000, the injury rate for nurses is among the highest, and 25 of every 10,000 full-time nurses were injured in workplace assaults. This rate is much higher than private-sector industries, which is 2 per 10,000.
The reality is cops, correctional officers and nurses all deal with the same people. Nurses are the only ones that have had no training on how to deal with hand-to-hand combat, have no radio, no weapons, and no real lifeline to call for back-up.
I admire the work that they do and the heroic conditions that they perform under each and every shift!
Victim or Bad Ass??? - I say both!

Re. Phil Parker Group Ltd
River Plate House
7–11 Finsbury Circus
Date: 27 March 2013
Media: Internet (on own site)
Sector: Health and beauty
Complaint Ref: A12-210374
Complaint Upheld
The website http://www.lightningprocess.co.uk, visited on 9 October 2012, was headed "Lightning Process – Phil Parker's Personal View". Text stated "This is my personal site (for the official one click here) all about the Lightning Process' development and my journey with it from a small clinic in North London to it being practiced across the world. In it you'll find stories of those who inspired me with how they used the mind body connection to get over ME/CFS, MS, Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Pain and Eating Disorders and much more".
Hampshire Trading Standards challenged whether the references to "ME/CFS, MS, Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Pain and Eating Disorders" misleadingly implied that the Lightning Process could treat or cure those conditions.
CAP Code (Edition 12)
Phil Parker Group Ltd said the site was not owned by them but by Phil Parker personally and that nothing was being sold from the site, which was only for discussion and opinions. They said it did not include links to Lightning Process practitioners and their websites, did not provide information about how to take the training with either Phil or the team, did not use the corporate branding and logos which were used on their commercial sites and did not link to the shop where their products were available. They said the site had no commercial intent and was not a marketing communication within the remit of the Code.
They said there was an incredible amount of information about the Lightning Process on the internet, some of which was accurate and some of which was not, and that Phil Parker wanted to provide people with correct information about it. They considered it reasonable that Phil Parker, who had designed the Lightning Process and had qualifications relevant to the treatment of CFS/ME, was allowed to share his views on the Lightning Process in relation to CFS/ME, and other conditions, on his personal website. They said that to prevent Phil Parker discussing his opinions about the Lightning Process on the site would infringe upon his freedom of speech. Nevertheless, the challenged claims were removed from the site in February 2013.
The ASA noted that Phil Parker Group did not believe that the Code applied to Phil Parker's "personal" website. The Introduction to the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing (the Code) stated that the Code applied to "Advertisements and other marketing communications by or from companies, organisations or sole traders on their own websites, or in other non-paid-for space online under their control, that are directly connected with the supply or transfer of goods, services, opportunities and gifts, or which consist of direct solicitations of donations as part of their own fund-raising activities".
We noted that the website's URL was "www.lightningprocess.co.uk"; that there was an active link to the official Lightning Process website (www.lightningprocess.com); that the official Lightning Process website was headed "Phil Parker Lightning Process® – the mind-body connection training"; and that the content of the website was almost exclusively about the Lightning Process. We considered that Phil Parker was inextricably linked with the Lightning Process brand and that the content on the website would, as far as it related to the Lightning Process, be understood by consumers as a promotion by Phil Parker of his commercial proposition, in which he had a financial interest. We therefore considered that that content was directly connected to the supply of goods and services and was subject to the Code.
We noted that the home page of the website referred to Phil Parker's "journey" with the Lightning Process and to the stories that consumers would find within the site about those who had used the "mind body connection" to "get over ME/CFS, MS, Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Pain and Eating Disorders and much more". We considered that visitors to the website would infer from the home page that the Lightning Process could be effective in treating each of the conditions listed.
We had previously considered a complaint about the official Lightning Process website which made claims about the use of the Lightning Process in the treatment of various medical conditions, including ME/CFS, MS, depression, anxiety, chronic pain and eating disorders. In our adjudication we concluded that we had not seen a suitably robust body of evidence to demonstrate the efficacy of the Lightning Process in the treatment of any of those conditions. We also concluded that references to medical conditions, for which medical supervision should be sought, including MS, depression and eating disorders, had breached the Code, because of the risk that they might discourage readers from seeking essential treatment for those conditions. Phil Parker Group had said Phil Parker was a registered hypnotherapist, osteopath and psychotherapist and, while we noted that he might be qualified to treat conditions such as depression, we also noted that the official Lightning Process website (which was linked to from the home page of the "personal" site) was intended to direct prospective customers to find their local Lightning Process practitioner, who need not be similarly qualified.
Because we considered that the website was subject to the Code, and because we had not seen evidence to show that the Lightning Process could treat ME/CFS, MS, depression, anxiety, chronic pain and eating disorders, we concluded that the website was likely to mislead consumers regarding the benefits of the Lightning Process in the treatment of people with those conditions. Furthermore, because the mention of MS, depression and eating disorders could discourage readers from seeking essential treatment under the supervision of a suitably qualified health professional, we concluded that the reference to them was misleading for that reason also.
The website breached CAP Code (Edition 12) rules 3.1 (Misleading advertising), 3.7 (Substantiation) and 12.1 and 12.2 (Medicines, medical devices, health-related products and beauty products).
The claims must not appear again in their current form. We welcomed the decision to remove the claims. We told Phil Parker Group not to make claims on websites within their control that were directly connected with the supply of their goods and services if those claims could not be supported with robust evidence. We also told them not to refer to conditions for which advice should be sought from suitably qualified health professionals.

The North West City Cup quarter-final tie between Lincoln Courts and Draperstown Celtic, is one of many top games this weekend.

Blue X Blue does not give 100% Blues
Actually this is the way their matings go:
Blue X Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black , 25% Splash
Blue X Splash = 50% Blue , 50% Splash
Blue X Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Black X Black = 100% Black
Splash X Black = 100% Blue
Splash X Splash = 100% Splash
Only way to hypothetically get 100% Blue, is to do Black X Splash.
silkied splash x silkied splash = 100% silkied splash
silkied splash x smooth black = 100% smooth blue, carrying silkie gene
silkied splash x smooth blue = 50% blue, 50% splash, with 100% smooth feathered, carrying silkie gene
silkied splash x f1 black = 100% blue, with 50% smooth carrying the silkie gene, 50% silkied
silkied splash x f1 blue = 50% blue, 50% splash, with 50% smooth carrying the silkie gene, 50% silkied
f1 blue x f1 black = 50% black, 50% blue, with 25% smooth and not carrying silkie gene, 50% smooth but carrying the gene, and 25% silkied
f1 blue x f1 blue = 25% black, 50% blue, 25% splash, with 25% smooth and not carrying silkie gene, 50% smooth but carrying the gene, and 25% silkied
Cross her(Black Mottled D'Ucccle with a black roo = F1 offspring that are black
Back cross a black F1 male to his mottled mother= BC1 offspring which will be black or they will be black and mottled.
I did my test twice - once with 1/2 c. salt & 1/2 c. water - the next time with 1/2 c. salt & 1/4 c. water - same results both times. I placed the mixture in a mug and then put the mug and hygrometer into a ziploc bag.

Please Note: T =tablespoon, t=teaspoon, G=Gallon, cc and ml are synonymous terms.
Edited to add: I was injecting my standard size pullets with 1/2cc. I would assume you would want to do your 3 month pullets less. I believe that I read 1/4cc. Good luck.
Found my Dr. Les handbook and it recommends Tylan 50 or Tylan 200 - which he says works best as an injectable but can also be given orally with slower results. He indicates there is also a water soluble Tylan 50. For Tylan 50, Peter Brown recommends 1/2 cc for standard and 1/4 cc for very small bantams.
Dr. Les prefers LS-50 or Lincomycin-Spectinomycin (generic) for Chronic Respiratory Disease - when the chickens have the swollen heads, lots of mucus and sneezing. They are both water soluble and are mixed 1 tsp to one gallon of water and treat for a full 4 days after all symptoms are gone.
Self Blue does breed true though.
Lavendar is based on the lav gene. It is a true breeding form of Blue called Self Blue, and is absent of lacing. When breeding lavendar you breed Lavendar to Lavendar you get 100% lavendar chicks. Many breeders cross Lavendar with Black, all resulting offspring are black, then breed those offspring back to each other to get back to lavendar. lavendar is often associated with poor feather width, and poor feather quality thus the occasional cross to balck to improve those traits.
Blue is whole different story.
Blue is a incomplete dominant mutation of Black. It takes two copies of genes to create most colors along with other determing factors but with blue for instance the natural form in a recessive state bl results in black when two copies are present, the mutation incompletly dominant Bl results in a splash when two copies are present and when the two are combined as Bl / bl you get Blue.
So to think of it this way when breeding Blue
bl/bl = Black
Bl/bl = Blue
Bl / Bl = Splash
This form of blue is laced with a darker shade of blue. One should breed for an even shade of blue. You will get your best color by breeding Blue to Blue and be able to maintain proper lacing and a more uniform color through out the birds body in this manner.
when Breeding Black x Splash all teh resulting offspring will be blue in color however will vary widely in color quality and are often un-even in color and begin to loose lacing as this created by the presence of other genes you cannot see when using Black and Splash.
Test the hygrometer's http://exoticpets.about.com/od/herpresources/ss/hygrometer.htm
Mine is digital. You put it in a large zip bag with a cup containing 1/2 cup of salt and 1/4 cup of water (making sure they are not touching) for 12 hours. Then you see what it says the humidity is. It SHOULD say 75%. If it is off one way or the other you know how much to adjust for the reading in the incubator. For instance, if it says 70% in the bag, remember to add 5% to the reading when it's in the incubator.
Place Morton Canning salt (a few tablespoons worth) in a small mug, glass, or container and mix in some distilled water. Make sure you do not dissolve the salt. The desired result should be a "sludgy", "gooey", semi-solid mixture.
Place this mixture inside a zip lock bag (I prefer sliding lock to ensure complete closure) with your hygrometer inside. Make sure the hygrometer is facing up (so you can read it) and that no water or mixture comes in contact with the meter (this will throw off readings). Now seal this zip lock bag with an even larger bag to ensure that no additional air may enter in.
This is a Fawkes Feathers Recipe:
In a 5 gallon bucket, fill approximately 3/4 full with base feed and add:
1 cup crimped oats
1 cup crimped barley
1 cup wheat
1/2 cup safflower seeds
3/4 cup sunflower chips
1/2 cup flax seeds
1 scoop Manna Pro Sho-Glo
1 heaping tablespoon Brewer's Yeast & Garlic Powder
Mix together well, and add:
1/2 cup wheat germ oil blend or vegetable oil
1/4 cup Red Cell
Mix together very well to distribute oil and red cell evenly.

Nestled away on the banks of the River Thames in the sleek, redeveloped area of Nine Elms, these luxury serviced apartments are perfect for those with a taste for the finer things in life.
I found the link for Central London Apartments on TripAdvisor. I was looking for accommodation for my family for our visit from Sydney. Considering we had travelled 30 hours, Alistair was extremely helpful and considerate and helped to organize an early check in. He was always available for my enquiries and was always happy to help. The apartment was amazing and definitely helped us to fall in love with London. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Central London Apartments.

Ayesha Akhtar, who advised me on the choice of my apartment, was very knowledgeable and diligent with her follow-ups. She was also patient as I asked many questions related to the different apartments. Her emails were always very clear, and she provided me with great support.

Excellent service! Very responsive and they come back to you with alternatives and the best prices available without even asking.

Freya was very prompt in responding to my request and the follow ups thereafter. She made a point of calling the property to find out if they were able to cater to my request, and searched for other accommodation options to recommend. She rushed her team to send out the booking form to me once she realised our 7 hour time difference, and she also had the property put on hold for a few more hours while I sorted out the payment details. Best yet - my parents were very happy with their accommodation.

Berkeley House still retains a lot of its authentic options, including uncovered wooden flooring and roaring log fires, mixed with modern furnishings. The vibrant character's stint on the show has seen him battle an habit to painkiller Vicodin, stemming from a earlier leg infarction involving his quadriceps muscle – and he was once admitted to a psychiatric hospital to deal with his habit, together with a stint in prison earlier this season.

This was a change from the original Dream House in several methods – not only was it significantly bigger, but one could set up the house itself in different methods, not just the furnishings inside. Love will not be primarily based on procuring sprees, purchases that costs greater than the down payment on a house (owning not renting/pretending), and tons of cash. They may be scrap wood from around the house, in that case the canine home could or could not come out too engaging relying upon the pieces you've gotten accessible and you could have to cobble collectively a plan for constructing the canine house since the items aren't prone to match what could be required for the plans accessible. The home is believed to have been reworked in 1850, when the second story was added over the principle part of the home and a room was added to the main floor. I was slightly dissatisfied because the house (which was grey and white with a red door within the present) is now painted purple.

This model of the Peterson bluebird house is a bit more challenging to construct than the essential nest field. Depending upon the materials out there, it could be best to construct a double-walled canine house with exterior grade lumber on the skin the place it may well't contact your canine, and a safer lumber on the within to ensure if your pup does chew on the wall he won't ingest dangerous chemical compounds. You'll need to go into the buying of supplies and building of the dog home with some form of plan.

Assuming you're like me, you're constantly looking at stocks. I'm looking at big ones and small ones and medium ones and ones that look good and ones that don't maybe look good but then they do once you get them all naked… and examine their numbers. I bet you thought I was talking about something other than stocks there, huh?
Anyhoo, if you're doing all that looking, chances are you're going to want ways to track your portfolio online. I used to write out my watch lists on actual paper, and I'd stick that paper on the wall over top of my desk. Obviously this low-tech solution wasn't ideal, so I've moved onto online options, because apparently I'm cool enough to deal exclusively in the cloud. Take that, kids in 7th grade.
Without further filler, allow me to present 4 ways to track your portfolio online.
1. Google Drive
When did Google Docs become Google Drive? And why didn't they consult me first? I DEMAND VENGEANCE.
This is my favorite way of tracking a portfolio, since it's just so customizable. You can put in anything from 52 week highs and lows, to the volume of the stock in question, to the market cap or the P/E ratio. It's a pretty powerful tool.
It's pretty easy to make your own spreadsheet, or you can just start with one of the sheets someone else has already customized. Here's the steps to making your own.
All you need to do is put the proper function in each cell. Assuming you're using Blackberry's shares for some reason, some sample cells would look like this.
For price:
=googlefinance( "bb.to" , "price")
For volume:
=googlefinance("bb.to" , "volume")
And so on. Here's a list of all the functions Google Drive supports. There's a notable exception, and that's dividend yield. It's pretty simple to create your own formula by just dividing the yearly dividend by the price to get the yield. You'll have to keep an eye on the dividend and make sure it hasn't changed, but that's not so hard.
And here's a picture of my actual Canadian stock watch list, built with Google Drive. Don't go stealing all my ideas.
2. Google Finance Portfolios
Because hey, Google already knows everything about you. You might as well tell it all the stocks you own too.
Here's what you do. You go to Google Finance, and click "Portfolios" on the left side menu bar. Go ahead and enter as much or as little information as you'd like, and presto. You've got a portfolio. You can enter the price you paid and number of shares if you're looking to track actual performance, or you can just type in ticker symbols if you're putting in a watch list. You can even withdraw or add cash to your account.
Google will also give you a nice graph of your portfolio's performance, a newsfeed with all relevant news, and the option to add upcoming events to your calendar. Considering the overall weakness in Google Finance overall, this isn't such a bad tool.
3. Yahoo Finance
Like with Google Finance, the process if pretty simple. From the Finance homepage, click on My Portfolio and then Create Portfolio. From there you'll be asked to name the portfolio, (don't bother to take Nelson's Millions, it's taken) and add the ticker symbols you want to track. Make sure you type .to after any symbols are from the Toronto Stock Exchange and that have identical NYSE or NASDAQ tickers. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward.
Then choose from a few customizable options and BAM, you're done. Seriously, a monkey can do it.
4. Marketocracy
And finally we have Marketocracy, which is probably one of the most interesting ways to track your portfolio online.
What's so interesting about it? You can't really use it as a watch list tool, since it tracks your performance compared to all the other investors who use it. As you tell the service what you buy and sell, it updates your results in real time, keeping track of your portfolio.
All portfolios have a value of $1M, and you can manage more than one different portfolio at one time. Once you start to manage a portfolio, you'll be asked to make trades, in real time, as you add positions. You can make as many or as few as you want, whatever floats your boat. It's a good tool to use if you're going to do paper trading too.
(Update: Stupid Marketocracy doesn't allow you to buy Canadian stocks. That's a big bummer.)
And that's about it. I know there are more services, but hey, somebody has to keep the content flowing. Hey, you could always just use the tools your online broker has. Or not. Feel free to mention your favorite in the comments.

YouTube Dusts Off "Ghostbusters" to Make a Point: We've Got Movies!
Got a couple hours to kill? Want to enjoy a pleasant blast from the past? Head over to YouTube and check out "Ghostbusters," which is running at its full length on Google's (GOOG) video site, and prominently displayed on its homepage.
YouTube says it's highlighting the Bill Murray/Dan Akroyd/Sigourney Weaver classic because this summer is the movie's 25th anniversary.
Which is true! But I'm pretty sure the site is also trying to remind both Hollywood studios and run-of-the-mill YouTube users that the site can and does run more than just short, home-brewed clips–it's got a bunch of movies, TV shows, and other "premium content," too.
Not nearly as much as Hulu, of course, but YouTube is still trying to figure out how to change that. One way is by simply creating special sections to highlight movies and TV shows, which is one of the reasons it got Sony's (SNE) Crackle on board last spring. Another is to offer content owners special incentives to hand over their stuff to the world's biggest video site.
If you do watch "Ghostbusters," for instance, note that the traditional YouTube player has been replaced by one from Crackle. YouTube also recently agreed to let Disney's ESPN.com (ESPN) use its own player as well.
On the other hand, there's still plenty of other "premium content" on YouTube that doesn't appear to be sanctioned by the contents' owners and that doesn't appear to be generating any revenue or other benefit for them, either. Like this grainy, but still excellent, "Ghostbusters" excerpt:

Yesterday, Aaron and I joined other local Boston Marathoners, Boston Marathon spectators (aka the husbands, wives, and children of the runners), and other Albuquerque runners/walkers to raise money for the Boston First Responders Fund. Like many other people who were at the Finish Line, we've been searching for ways to provide meaningful support to the people of Boston. There is no doubt that the encouragement and hospitality from Bostonians toward the people who run the marathon is unparalleled. They take their job as runner support very seriously, and they do it well. During their time of need, we want to give that same support back to them.
This race allowed us to do that. 100% of every race registration went directly to Boston. The goal was to send $47,00 from the 47th state, and while I thought they announced that we reached that goal, I think we came in at just over $30,000. Still, an amazing effort with less than 2 weeks of planning!
Beth, who graciously let me hang out with her in the Hopkington bus line, was one of the volunteers, so we got to see her and meet other Boston runners including one guy who ran the marathon with a broken foot and STILL managed to come in much faster than me. Boston runners got to lead the race as the other runners cheered loudly and gave us high-fives. It was amazing to see the support not only for Boston, but for the people who ran the marathon.
Leading the way! (I'm the one in yellow, Beth is wearing the adorable tank top that I wish I purchased)
The race started at 1:00 pm (kudos to the race people for getting this together so fast, but I would have been ok had the race started earlier in the day), and it was about 85 degrees yesterday. I wanted to wear something from the race, but the only thing I bought at the expo was the Unicorn Jacket, so I opted to wear the long-sleeved race t-shirt with the understanding that this would likely be a very uncomfortably hot run. (It was).
After the ceremonial start, I pulled off to the side so I could run with Aaron, and I spotted Niecy, another Albuquerque blogger who I have corresponded with via the internet but never met (her legs alone are easily longer than I am. NOT FAIR). We did a quick double take (is that her? or not? maybe?), waved excitedly when we both realized that we WERE who we are, and then continued on our race.
The race itself was…interesting. The course was mostly on soft sand, and I'm still not all that recovered from the marathon, but Aaron ran with me (this NEVER happens during races), and I think we did ok (neither of us wore Garmins, and the race was untimed, so I could be very wrong).
I also had a couple of ladies ask to take pictures with me. It was quite humbling to have these people think I was cool enough to warrant a picture. Also, I've decided that I'd make a really good celebrity!
Getting interviewed for the news (they didn't end up using it because some dude went on a stabbing spree at a church and they had to cut the story short). Thanks to my mom who was standing on the sidelines, rapidly snapping pictures during my interview!
Group photo! I don't know why we were holding the "pre-registered" sign…
While for us, the whole "moving on" thing is a day-by-day process, I think this event really showed us that 1) we aren't alone, and 2) coming together as a community and supporting a city clear across the county is a great way to spend a warm Sunday afternoon.

It is significant that all of our great religions were born in the face of oppression. Moses led the Israelites from slavery under the Egyptians. Jesus challenged the power of Rome. The Islamic calendar begins with the migration of Muhammad and his followers to escape the persecution of Meccan tribes. Even the awakening of Gautama Buddha came in the midst of unremitting tribalism and warfare. Whatever we feel about religions today, we've often found them preferable to the oppression and violence without them in the past.
Alif the Unseen by G Willow Wilson is in part a novel about the need for faith, belief and religion in a technological age. It is also a passionate romance and a delirious urban fantasy. Alif is a hacker who specialises in providing anonymity to clients who might have reason to fear the authorities, from political activists to pornographers. He is "not an ideologue, as far as he was concerned anyone who could pay for his protection was entitled." He conducts his business in the fantasy precincts of The City, a place like but unlike contemporary Cairo, which author G Willow Wilson has made her home.
Wilson is widely known as a comics writer (she's the author of the Vertigo-published series Air), and as an essayist and journalist on feminism and Islam, including her own conversion to that religion during her studies at Boston University in the US. Alif the Unseen is her debut, and as with the work of many of the best young writers today, it is both a book written with a love of the fantastic in all its genres and a serious work of fiction.
"Their day will come," says Abdullah, a player in the hacker underground resisting the oppressive authorities of The City as he comments on the safety and complacency of their western counterparts. "They will wake up one morning and realise their civilisation has been pulled out from under them, inch by inch, dollar by dollar, just as ours was. They will know what it is to have been asleep for the most important century of their history."
It's a sentiment that should send a tremor of recognition through any reader alert to the threats faced by western democracies today. We did nothing as democracy was tugged from under the feet of those in the Middle East and north Africa, arguably because we saw ourselves as the beneficiaries of these crimes. Now that the same forces of global capitalism are turning their attention to our freedoms in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, it may be that we come to remember the 20th century as one we slept through, while we spend the 21st paying for it.
Stitched through Alif the Unseen is Wilson's commentary on the need for religion and faith as a counterbalance to oppression. Alif and the other characters in Wilson's novel find strength in the Islamic faith, as have many of those risking their lives against oppression in the Arab spring, and as does the author herself. It's a valuable contrast to the writing of many young authors today who see, with good reason, the religions that claim to represent them as corrupted to the purposes of oppression. The conflicted relationship between young political activists and religious organisations played out theatrically on the steps of St Paul's cathedral in 2011, when the Occupy protest movement camped there after a failed attempt to occupy the London Stock Exchange. That it was the brave decision of the then canon, Giles Fraser, to allow the encampment, even in the face of an outraged church establishment, is a reminder that while we may chose to put aside the structures of an outdated church, we still need good men. Let's remember, if Jesus were alive today he would be an Occupy protester.
As a portrait of hacker culture, Alif the Unseen also tackles both the central threat to and hope for democracy in our near future. The technology of the internet, of social media, of ultra-powerful computers placed in the hands of billions worldwide, is the change that has brought a string of oppressive regimes down through the Arab spring. But it is also the technology allowing unprecedented penetration into our private lives by major corporations, and which places incredible power in the hands of giants like Apple and Google. We're trusting a great deal in Google's 'don't be evil' pledge. If the technologies of surveillance and control now surrounding us are turned to oppressive ends, we may all find ourselves with a suddenly renewed need for strength drawn from religious faith.

Moffat County football dominates Battle Mountain, 54-3
For one night at least this season, just about everything went the way Moffat County's football team planned.
Taking on the winless Battle Mountain Huskies on Friday in Edwards, the Bulldogs picked up their first Western Slope League win of the season, running and throwing all over for a 54-3 victory.
From the get-go, it was all Moffat County. The Bulldogs (2-7, 1-6 WSL) surrendered a couple first downs but then forced a punt from the Huskies (0-9, 0-7 WSL), and started their opening drive with a 51-yard connection between Joe Camilletti and Matt Hamilton.
Later on the drive, Moffat County faced a fourth down and Camilletti found Phillip Chadwick for a 23-yard score through the air to make it 7-0.
It was the start of a huge night for the Bulldogs' quarterback. Camilletti would pass four over 300 yards, and run for 155 more, accounting for five total touchdowns.
"We executed well on offense running and throwing. We had some good runs and some good catches and our line did a great job opening up some holes," Hafey said. "We had over 500 yards of offense, and probably close to 600. It was an all-around a great game."
Camilletti pushed the Bulldogs lead to 20-0 on the final play of the half. He dropped back to pass but decided to take off down the left sideline and beat Battle Mountain's defenders to the pylon for a 34-yard score.
In the second half, Moffat County poured it on. Brett Loyd plunged in from 3 yards out for a score and Camilletti again found Hamilton on a deep pass for a 76-yard touchdown. Brayden Peterson and Keenan Hildebrandt also got in on the action.
The Huskies double wing running attack never could get going, as they were missing two of their top ball-carriers to injury. Moffat County's defense contained everything Battle Mountain wanted to do, surrendering just a field goal in the third quarter.
"Our defense did phenomenal," Hafey said. "Only gave up three points, and that was a 40-yard field goal. I think our defense only gave up four first downs the whole game."
It was a game that didn't have any postseason implications, but it meant plenty to Moffat County to pick up another win in 2013.
"The kids were really excited and I was happy for them," Hafey said. "They've worked their tails off and not given up all year, so they've earned it. They showed up tonight and played their best game, so give the credit to the kids tonight."
Moffat County concludes its season in Craig on Friday against Palisade.
Nate Waggenspack can be reached at 970-875-1795 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Shuttle service available Saturday for Moffat County High School graduation
Moffat County School District will provide shuttle services to Moffat County High School graduation, set for 10 a.m to noon Saturday, May 25 at MCHS, 900 Finley Lane.

Petty Cash Procedure
Petty Cash Fund
To establish a new petty cash fund, a Request for Petty Cash Advance is submitted to the Finance Office (115 Milbank Hall) for approval.

Asprey was established in 1781 by William Asprey, and was originally set up to be a silk printing business, but soon became a luxury emporium. Located in central London, Asprey advertised 'articles of exclusive design and high quality, whether for personal adornment or personal accompaniment and to endow with richness and beauty the table and homes of people of refinement and discernment.' As the business grew the company acquired several manufacturing facilities and hired silversmtihs, goldsmiths, jewelers and watchmakers including Ernest Betjeman. In 1859 Asprey bought Edwards, a Royal Warrant holder and award winning dressing case maker. In 1862 Asprey was granted its first Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria and the company enjoyed a long relationship with various members of the British Royal Family.
John Jaques of London
In 1795 Thomas Jaques set up a manufactory of turned ivory, bone, hardwoods and Tunbridge Ware. His son John Jaques became an apprentice at the manufactory aged fifteen, and five years later became a partner.
The company gained a reputation for publishing games and had exclusive rights for the manufacture of the 'Staunton Chess Set' designed by Nathaniel Cooke in 1849.
The company would be later known as Jaques & Son of London and would go on to be exclusive distributers of games such a Tiddledy-Winks, Snakes and Ladders and Ludo.
Jaques is the oldest games company and manufacturer in the world, after being passed down for six generations, and are still trading today.
Parkins & Gotto
William Parkins and Henry Jenkin Gotto established Parkins & Gotto at 2, Hanway Street, Oxford Street, London in the 1840s. In the 1850s the company moved to 23 & 25, Oxford Street and were noted for carrying a huge variety of high quality stock. In 1892, the firm was passed on to Henry Gaisford Gotto who entered the first marks 'HGG' at the London Assay Office. In 1894 Henry Gaisford Gotto passed away and the business continued under Christopher Lamb Gotto, who entered a second set of marks, 'CLG', at the London Assay Office.
Thomas Lund had established his London Business in 1804. In 1835 his son William Lund opened his own retail outlet on Fleet Street, London. In 1845 Thomas passed away and William would go on to run both businesses. His son Charles took over the business when William died in 1872 and continued to operate under the name William Lund & Son.
Mappin & Webb
John Newton Mappin and his brother in law George Webb started an electroplating and cutlery firm in 1868. The firm had a large showroom on Norfolk street which displayed the silverware and electroplate. By 1897 the company was granted a Royal Warrant. In the 1980s the firm was taken over by Asprey & Co, but was later sold to the Jewellers Goldsmith group.
Today Mappin & Webb is silversmith to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and the Prince of Wales Prince Charles.

After a joint operation by the FBI and the Scotland Yard, the police have made a successful arrest of a 19-year-old teenager who is suspected to be a LulzSec mastermind. Whether he really is a LulzSec mastermind is not confirmed yet and he is just a regular suspect. He deserves the benefit of doubt and it would be wrong to call him an offender.
The joint operation by the FBI and Scotland Yard follows from the Sony, (probably) Lockheed Martin and the UK Census data leaks. This has resulted in what is being seen as the first arrest of any LulzSec member which can reveal some interesting facts about this Anonymous regroup.
The Metropolitan Police website has a statement on the arrest too. It reads as,
Officers from the Metropolitan Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU) have arrested a 19-year-old man in a pre-planned intelligence-led operation.
The arrest follows an investigation into network intrusions and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against a number of international business and intelligence agencies by what is believed to be the same hacking group.
The teenager was arrested on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act, and Fraud Act offences and was taken to a central London police station, where he currently remains in custody for questioning.
Searches at a residential address in Wickford, Essex, following the arrest last night have led to the examination of a significant amount of material. These forensic examinations remain ongoing.
The PCeU was assisted by officers from Essex Police and have been working in co-operation with the FBI.
What follows next might be an extradition to the US. We are expecting some update on this from the Team WebNinjas and from the LulzSec Twitter stream. Keep an eye on Twitter for real-time updates.
Update: LulzSec claims that the person arrested by the FBI and Scotland Yard is not a member and some of the tweets appearing in this image have been deleted by them so they are exclusive.

Business Week says there is no science education crisis; that in fact the US is producing more science experts than the market demands.
The call has been taken up by some of the most prominent people in business and politics. Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft, said at an education summit in 2005, "In the international competition to have the biggest and best supply of knowledge workers, America is falling behind." President George W. Bush addressed the issue in his 2006 State of the Union address. "We need to encourage children to take more math and science, and to make sure those courses are rigorous enough to compete with other nations," he said.
Salzman and Lowell found the reverse was true. Their report shows U.S. student performance has steadily improved over time in math, science, and reading. It also found enrollment in math and science courses is actually up. For example, in 1982 high school graduates earned 2.6 math credits and 2.2 science credits on average. By 1998, the average number of credits increased to 3.5 math and 3.2 science credits. The percent of students taking chemistry increased from 45% in 1990 to 55% in 1996 and 60% in 2004. Scores in national tests such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the SAT, and the ACT have also shown increases in math scores over the past two decades.

Betting Exchanges are a fairly new addition to the Betting Industry. Betfair, the worlds largest Betting Exchange allows punters to bet against each other. Punter A takes the side of the backer, and backs the outcome to win, person B takes the side of the layer, and lays the outcome to lose. Thus eliminating the need for a bookmaker decreasing the vig the player pays.
Betting Exchanges are classed as Person to Person or P2P platforms. This is because you are betting against another person. (You never know the identity of the other person you are betting against).
You decide on the outcome of your chosen event, take a position on that event, you place your money down on the betting exchange and wait for another person to come along and bet against you. If you picked the correct outcome, you win, if you chose the incorrect outcome, you lose. The same as in any betting situation.
In the past, bets could only be placed with or against a bookmaker, The bookmaker generally had an advantage over the average punter and had more knowledge and experience in the industry. Over the long term they won. Now with the advent of Betting Exchanges, the tables have turned and now the punter has a better chance of winning long term.
There are plenty of a niche websites that educates backers and layers on how to trade on the betting exchanges similar to the stock market, visit them for Betting Exchange trading information.
As there are always fluctuations in the price, bets can be bought for one price and sold off for a higher price leaving you with a guaranteed profit no matter what the outcome!
The difficulty most betting exchange traders face is knowing which direction the market is going to go and the factors that influence the prices in a sporting event.
Since Betfair started, the betting exchanges have grown quickly, over 12000 new Betfair accounts are opened each month, competition has started to heat up, people are turning to Betfair to help them leave their day jobs. Automatic betting exchange bots have been built to automate a traders movements, and systems, and tuition guides have been developed to help people further their knowledge on the subject.
Over the years other sportsbooks have branched out and opened up their own betting exchange websites with matchbook being the top exchange for US players. Betfair doesn't allow US residents to play with them. Within 3-5 years expect platforms like this to take over the US sports betting market giving players the ultimate advantage of playing against one another laying less juice than betting at a normal sportsbook.
We at Guaranteed Sports Picks hopes this helps our readers explain betting exchanges. We are here to help anyone who is interested in the topic of Trading or would like to learn more about Betfair and the Betting Exchanges.

What does it mean to be black in America now? A wide variety of scholars and deep thinkers respond in these essays on race, society, art and more.
Though the first line of this collection reads, "I should make one thing clear from the outset: this volume is not about Touré," most of these essays either deconstruct the author's argument in Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness? (2011) or offer either an academic or personal rebuttal to that particular work. Curated by Baker (English/Vanderbilt Univ.; Betrayal: How Black Intellectuals Have Abandoned the Ideals of the Civil Rights Era, 2008, etc.) and Simmons (Religious Studies/Univ. of Alabama; Changing the Subject: Writing Women Across the African Diaspora, 2014, etc.), the book presents a wide range of voices and opinions from people who have spent much of their careers studying America's struggles with race and identity. The essays are all contemplative, but their scholastic nature could prove off-putting to nonacademic readers. It may depend on how readers feel about passages like this one, from "African Diasporic Blackness Out of Line" by Greg Thomas: "Beyond a propagation of self-abolition, 'post-blackness' must be more than 'non-Black.' It must actually be something in lieu of Black; and 'African Americanism' provides this supposed escape hatch in a five-centuries-long context of Western European racism and imperialism, at least in the mentality of the propagators of abolition or self-abolition as a new mode of neocolonial assimilationism." The majority of the essays are in this vein, examining Touré's argument from the frame of reference of the Black Arts Movement, American literature, globalization, social media and more. Later, things take an interesting turn with a handful of more personal essays, culminating in a pointed criticism of President Barack Obama by novelist Ishmael Reed and capped off with a poem, "Thirteen Ways of Looking at Post-Blackness (after Wallace Stevens)," by Emily Raboteau.
A thoughtful, if not gentle, scholarly refutation of a controversial claim of a post-racial society.

What's the first lesson like?
A first lesson typically has three parts.
Your goals and your voice:
- We'll talk about your singing background, what you're doing now, and what you'd like to be doing with your voice in the future.
- I'll guide you through some short scales and maybe a bit of a song to hear how you currently sing.
Next steps:
- We'll talk about possible next steps for improvement, unless you're singing pretty flawlessly, in which case, I'll let you know :)
- You'll do some exercises that let you immediately experience improvements in your singing.
- We'll reinforce the better coordination with ever more challenging exercises and, at a certain point, we'll apply the new ninja-like coordination to a song.
- We'll review any new skills you learned and discuss how to best strengthen your voice through practise.
- After the first lesson, any subsequent lessons work similarly, just with even more time devoted to developing your voice.
What's a regular lesson like?
Regular lessons typically have three parts:
- You'll start with some exercises to warm your voice up and get it ready to work on newer skills and songs.
Building your voice:
- You'll do exercises designed to challenge your current skill level and get your voice ready for song work.
Song work:
- We'll apply what you're learning to a song.
- If you don't have a song in mind, I love suggesting songs. I keep a database of songs, organized by degree of difficulty, so we can quickly pick a song that will provide just enough challenge for your current skill level.
